七选五做题
一、略读文章大意
以最快的速度跳跃式地浏览文章的大小标题、首段、每段的首句,以及表示句、段关系的连接性词语(特别是however, but后的内容)等重要部分,以了解文章的基本结构和内容大意。事实上,一般只需花5~10秒阅读大小标题和第一段首尾句即可。
二、阅读上下句
因为正确选项必定会与上下句之间语义衔接、逻辑通顺,解题时大多只看上句,或只看下句,就可基本确定答案。
三、关注文中结构
在解题过程中,除了每做一道有把握的题后就在7个选项中将其画掉缩小范围外,也可通过观察语言结构将选择范围大大缩小。
标题结构
如果考查段落标题,先看看其他标题的语言形式,同一文章中的几个段落小标题基本上是同一语言形式。如果其他标题是名词短语,该题答案也是名词短语;如果其他标题是祈使句,该题的答案也是祈使句。
句子结构
如果正确选项只是某个句子的一个部分,就要看看空后这个部分是不是句子,如果是句子,看看是否有连词,如果没有连词,要选的正确选项就应是短语或是带有连词的从句。
例如:
Training for a marathon requires careful preparation and steady, gradual increases in the length of the runs. 36 , buy the best-fitting, best-built running shoes you can find.
A. After six days
B. For a good marathon runner
C. Before you begin your training
D. With each day, increase the distance by a half mile
E. If they still feel good, you can begin running in them
F. Time spent for preparation raises the quality of training
G. Now you are ready out a goal of improving distance and time
四、注意词语复现
作者或说话人在谈论某个话题或主题时,与主题相关的词语必定会以原词、同义词或近义词等形式在上下文中重复出现,这种现象叫词语复现。同一个词的重复出现叫原词复现;以同义词的形式重复出现,叫同义复现;以近义词或近义表达(意思相近,表达方式不同)的形式重复出现,叫近义复现;以词义相同而词性不同的形式重复出现,叫同根复现。还有上义词与下义词的复现 (adult是teacher, parent的上义词,而teacher, parent就是adult的下义词)。
例如:
39 If you've been betrayed, you are the victim of your circumstance. But there's a difference between being a victim and living with a "victim mentality".
A. Learn to really trust yourself
B. It is putting confidence in someone
C. Stop regarding yourself as the victim
D. Remember that you can expect the best in return.
E. They've been too badly hurt and they can't bear to let it happen again..
F. This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships.
G. Seeing the positive side of things doesn't mean you're ignoring what happened.
五、不可忽视的代词
我们知道,七选五就是考查上下文之间的衔接,而代词是语篇衔接的重要手段之一,故解题中要善于利用这一衔接手段。
例如:
Try to solve the problem. After you're calm and you have support from adults and friends, it's time to
get down to business. 74 Even if you can't solve
