你一定不知道，高考英语七选五题型还可以有这么多的答题技巧
【必备知识】
策略一：分析篇章结构
分析篇章结构、把握全文脉络是解题的关键。语篇通常由段落构成,所以分析篇章结构包括两个层次:一是分析段落之间的层次,也就是语篇层次;二是分析每个段落内部的层次,即句际层次，尤其是选项与前后句之间的逻辑关系,是确定答案的主要依据。
策略二：辨别语境线索
语境线索主要指反映上下文关系的衔接手段,如篇章结构、词语重现、逻辑关系、连接、指称、同构等。
逻辑关系是指上下文之间内在的、必然的联系,包括时间先后关系、因果关系等。
连接是指用连接词或连接语表明上下文之间的逻辑关系,如and, however。
指称是指用代词替代前文已出现的人物、事件、物品等,如he, she, they。
同构是指上下文使用了相同或类似的句式。
词语重现是指词语的重复出现,但这里不是指词语的简单重现,而是指某一词语可能以不同词性、数、格、时态等形式出现,如read, reading, reader, readers；还可能是以同义词、近义词甚至反义词等形式出现。
策略三：注意一些关键词
(1) 注意代词。代词是用来指代名词或句子的。做题时，一定要注意句中出现的人称代词或指示代词，通过代词在句中所作的成分推断出它指代的成分的类型，进而从选项中找到答案。
(2) 注意特殊疑问词。如果选项中或设空处前出现特殊疑问词，一定要把这句话仔细读几遍，因为针对不同特殊疑问词的回答方式是不一样的。比如对why的回答，要有because等表示原因的词；对when的回答，要有表示时间的状语；对where的回答，要有表示地点的状语；对how的回答，要有表示方式或程度的状语等。
(3)注意连接词或短语。
①因果关系：so, therefore, thus, hence, accordingly, consequently, as a result等；
②并列关系：first, second, third…; firstly, secondly, thirdly…; first, next,then…; in the first place, in the second place,…; for one thing, for another… 等；
③转折关系：but, however, nevertheless, nonetheless, instead, though, yet, on the contrary, by contrast, conversely, otherwise等；
④递进关系：also, further, furthermore, moreover, in addition, what’s more, not only… but also…等。
考点备注：
1：名词对应；代词指代
2：感情色彩；时态差异——保持一致
3：段中句相邻；段首尾总结过渡
【典例精析】
The way individuals collectively remember, forget, and recall event, people, places, etc, has been an important topic of research on collective memory. ____1____ He developed the concept of collective memory, arguing that individual memories are only understood within the context of a group through time and space. In all cases, most research on memory studies relies on long procedures ____2____ They include theoretical concepts, the study of historical sources, oral histories, case studies, interviews, and surveys. For example, one group of researchers carried out several interviews to investigate younger and older American adults for three wars, namely, the Civil War, World War Ⅱ, and the Iraq War. ____3___ Both younger and older adults recalled the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki; however, they differed in how they rated the bombings.
More recently, memory study scholars tend to stress the significance of the media in shaping collective memories: “Culture and individuals’ memory are constantly produced through the technologies of memory.” Under this perspective, research often involves content analysis of news and the use of surveys or interviews for analyzing the public memory. ____4____
However, developments in digital technologies in recent years have significantly influenced how we keep track of events both as individuals and as a collective. “The Internet doesn’t forget.” The Internet has had strong impacts on memory and the processes of remembering and forgetting. ____5____ Analyzing different Web documents, researchers have shown that more recent past events are remembered more vividly in the present.
A. Research on collective memory is often based on various aspects.
B. There are a few simple things a person can do to help improve their memory.
C. Maurice Halbwachs is recognized as the father of collective memory research.
D. Although all Americans recalled similar events,the interpretation changed over the generations.
E. Also,scholars have studied the role of journalists as collective memory agents by analyzing their stories.
F. Recently developed information technologies have affected how we create,store and recall information.
G. Meanwhile,it has transformed collective memory into an observable phenomenon that can be tracked and measured online.
解题思路引导
1：段中句；考空格前后句联系；空格后句He developed the concept of collective memory中的代词he可以作为突破点解题.
2：段中句；考空格前后句联系；空格后句They include theoretical concepts中的代词they可以作为突破点解题.
3：段中句；考空格前后句联系；根据前文的for example得出该空得是细节内容。细节句选项
4：段尾句；考查总结或者承上启下的考点；根据全文中心；情感态度；时态等解题
5：段中句；考空格前后句联系；重点了解前后句逻辑.
参考答案：
1.后文中出现代词he指代前一句出现的人物，由此判断应该会出现研究集体记忆的重要人物。只有C项有人名，句意为“人们认为Maurice Halbwachs是集体记忆研究之父”。故选C项。
2.后文中出现代词they指代前一句出现的复数名词。A项意为“关于集体记忆的研究经常会基于很多方面展开。”They include theoretical concepts, the study of historical sources, oral histories, case studies, interviews, and surveys.这一句话是对A项中various aspects的展开陈述。且A项中various aspects又呼应了空格上一句的long procedures。故选A项。
3.空格前一句话说开展采访来研究年青一代和老一代美国人对三次战争的看法。那空格处应涉及研究结果，空格后一句又是对D项的具体例子说明。Both younger and older adults recalled the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki具体对应“所有的美国人都会回忆起相似的事件”，however, they differed in how they rated the bombings对应说明了“但是每个年代的人对这些事情的解读是不一样的”。D项切题。故选D项。
4.本段在讲媒体在塑造集体记忆过程中所发挥的作用。空格处也应该是围绕媒体的作用在说明。E项中提到了journalists，呼应了首句的media。E项符合本段主题。故选E项。
5.本段在讲数码技术尤其是网络在我们记录事件过程中发挥的作用空格处应该承接上句继续讲述网络在我们记忆中扮演的角色。G项意为“同时，它把共同记忆转变为一种可以观察的现象。通过网络，这种共同记忆可以被查询和被人评价”。it指代the Internet，online呼应本段主题。

Passage A
Cayce Zavaglia is an artist with a unique transformation to her work.____1____Painting with tiny needles is not as fast as painting with a brush.____2____It takes two months-nearly 200 hours to complete a portrait.
____3____Once she decides, she invites that person to her studio and takes hundreds of photographs. She studies the way the light falls across the person's face. After many hours of studying the photos, she chooses the perfect one for her portrait. Next, she enlarges the photo on a canvas(画布). Then, she matches the colors in the photo and the stitching begins.
Cayce starts with the hair and forehead, then moves on to the shoulders and clothing, and finally the face. The human face is what she most enjoys creating in her art.____4____In a portrait of her baby daughter, the skin appears soft and smooth. In a portrait of her dad, the stitches show a wrinkled and aging face.
Cayce believes her success depends on three things: her choice of colors, the length and direction of the stitches, and her ability to make the portrait look true. She loves the surprise when people view her art. From a distance, people believe the portraits are painted.____5____
A. She makes sure the person looks straight into her.
B. The biggest challenge is making the skin look real.
C. Instead of painting with a brush, she sews with a needle.
D. Cayce's first step is deciding who will be in the portrait.
E. She loves creating portraits of her family and close friends.
F. It requires a lot of patience, for you often have to rethread your needle.
G. But when they take a closer look, they see the portrait has been embroidered.
参考答案：
1. 根据上文“Cayce Zavaglia is an artist with a unique transformation to her work.（Cayce Zavaglia是一位艺术家，她的作品有着独特的变化）”和下文“Painting with tiny needles is not as fast as painting with a brush（用细针作画不如用刷子作画快） ”可知，上文提到了Cayce Zavaglia作画的改变，下文则说用针作画比较慢。由此可知，Cayce Zavaglia的改变是用针作画。C项“她不是用刷子画画，而是用针”符合文意，needle是关键词。故选C。
2. 根据上文“Painting with tiny needles is not as fast as painting with a brush（用细针作画不如用刷子作画快）”和下文“It takes two months-nearly 200 hours to complete a portrait.（完成一幅肖像画需要两个月——近200个小时） ”可知，用针作画需要花大量时间。由此推知，空处承接上文，解释为什么用针作画很慢。F项“这需要很大的耐心，因为你经常要重新穿针”符合文意，下文是对空处内容的进一步说明。故选F。
3. 根据下文“Once she decides,she invites that person to her studio and takes hundreds of photographs.（一旦她决定了，她会邀请那个人到她的工作室，拍上数百张照片）”结合倒数一二段提到的作画步骤推知，设空处应陈述Cayce作画的第一步——决定画谁。D项“Cayce的第一步是决定谁将出现在画像中 ”符合文意，选项中的deciding呼应下文的decides。故选D。
4. 根据上文“Cayce starts with the hair and forehead, then moves on to the shoulders and clothing, and finally the face. The human face is what she most enjoys creating in her art.（Cayce从头发和前额开始，然后是肩膀和衣服，最后是脸。在她的艺术中，人的脸是她最喜欢创造的） ”和下文“In a portrait of her baby daughter, the skin appears soft and smooth. In a portrait of her dad, the stitches show a wrinkled and aging face.（在她的小女儿的肖像中，皮肤显得柔软光滑。在她父亲的肖像中，缝线显示出皱纹和衰老的脸）”可知，上文提到了Cayce创作的部位，下文则提到不同的肖像皮肤有不同的表现形式。由此推知，空处应陈述皮肤在创作中具有挑战性。B项 “最大的挑战是让皮肤看起来真实”符合文意，skin是关键词，下文是对空处内容的举例说明。故选B。
20. 根据上文“From a distance, people believe the portraits are painted.（从远处看，人们认为画像是画的）”可知，上文描述了人们从远处看画的感觉，由此推知，空处承接上文，描述人们从近处看画的感觉。G项“但是当他们仔细看的时候，他们看到画像是绣出来的”符合文意，选项中的closer对应上文的from a distance，且they指代上文的people。故选G。
Passage B
How to be a great conversationalist
Although I think there is much for me to learn in the area of communication, I’ve been told by my friends that I’m a great person to speak to. 1． In fact, I don’t think there are any “tricks” you have to use to be a great conversationalist. Below are some rules I apply in all my conversations:
Focus on the positives. Go for the positive topics. Instead of talking about past sadness, choose a discussion of future goals. 2． Less complaining, more solutions. Less judging, more understanding. Doing more of the latter (后者) will make you a more enjoyable person to speak to.
Respect others. Respect other people’s point of view. 3． Respect other people’s privacy. Respect other people’s personal choices; don’t criticize or judge. Remember, everyone has his right to be himself, just as you have the right to be yourself.
4． Your best asset (财富) is your true personality. Value it and let it shine. Don’t cover it up. It’ll be pretty boring if you just repeat the other person’s words during a conversation. Be ready to share your real thoughts and opinions and let others know the real you.
50-50 sharing. I always think that a great conversation should be made up of equal sharing by both the people involved in it. 5． But in general, both should have equal opportunities to share and contribute to the conversation.
A．Be true to yourself.
B．Be truly interested in the person.
C．It’s fine to express your opinion, but don’t force them to accept it.

Passage E
The U. N.'s Millennium Development Goals included the ambition that by 2015 all the world's children would complete primary school. This has largely been achieved: Nine out of ten children are now enrolled. ①_____. Even though most of the world's children go to school, an awful lot of them learn pretty much nothing there. According to a recent World Bank study of seven sub-Saharan African countries, half of nine-year-olds cannot read a simple word and three-quarters cannot read a simple sentence. ②_____. The same study found that only 7% of teachers had the minimum knowledge needed to teach reading and writing effectively. When classrooms were inspected to see whether a teacher was present, half the time the answer was no.
③_____. It seems to bring about bigger improvements in poor countries than in rich ones. Some of the scarce resources being spent on teachers could therefore be better spent on EdTech. That does not mean dumping computers on schools in the hope that children will understand how to use them, a folly on which plenty of money will be wasted. ④_____, that gets things right more often than the teachers do, that adjusts itself to the child's ability, that sends teachers clues about what they are supposed to teaching and that allows the authorities to check on whether the teacher is in the classroom.
Technology is no panacea(灵丹妙药).Good traditional teachers are not outdated, and are never likely to be. ⑤_____. But EdTech can help greatly—by monitoring pupils and teachers alike, assisting the best teachers and, most importantly, making up for the failings of the worst.
A. The reason is terrible teaching
B. Several recent studies suggest EdTech can help
C. Paying teachers more in the hope of employing better ones is not the answer
D. Regrettably, the figure is not as impressive as it sounds
E. Instead, it means providing schools with software that children can use without any help from an adult
F. Devices can be taken to where there is a connection to upload or download the necessary information
G. And authorities need to hold teacher to account
参考答案：
答案：①-⑤DABEG
解析：①上文指出这个目标大部分已经实现了,下文内容发生转折,指出尽管世界上大多数儿童都去了学校,但是他们之中有很多人在那里几乎什么都没学到。D项承上启下,符合语境。

③第一段讲述了目前的情况,接下来的几段主要讲述解决问题的方法。本空位于段首,是本段的主题句。本段的内容都是围绕教育科技展开说明的。所以B项符合语境。
④上文提到一些用在教师身上的稀缺资源可以被更好地用在教育科技上,这并不意味着将计算机堆放在学校里。E项与空前形成对比,符合语境。
⑤本空前一句指出传统的优秀教师并不会过时,也不可能过时,空后一句指出教育科技可以在教学过程中起辅助作用。G项承上启下,符合语境。
Passage F
Five Things You Should Always Do on a Monday
From scheduling a surgery to buying a house, there’s something to be said for the first day of the week.
Schedule a surgery
Researchers already know that the morning is the safest time of day to go under the knife. It’s when hospital staffs are most alert and least likely to make a mistake. 1．.The risk of death after undergoing a non-emergency surgery is lowest on Monday.
Fill up your gas tank
If you drove a lot over the weekend and need to fill your tank, wait until Monday morning to hit the gas station.2．. And never fill up on a Tursday — that's when prices are highest. You’re much better off filling up at the beginning of the week.
Gossip with your coworkers
The Monday blues are real, and scientists guess that one reason we get them might date back to our caveman day. 3．. Without gossiping with your co-workers you might feel uncomfortable.
Head to the gym
4．. One report found Monday is the most popular day of the week for gym-goers. And while that might mean you have to wait in line for the best machines, it also means you'll start your week on a healthy footing. We can’t argue with that.
5．
A resarch suggests that we may be more likely to follow through with our professional goals if we start on a Monday rather than a Thursday. The personal goal for the week, such as trying a new exercise, reading a book, or learning a new song on the guitar can provide you motivation during your busy week.
Now that you know what to do on a Monday, you'll be successful.
A．Start a diet
B．Make a priority to-do list
C．If you do, you’ll almost definitely get better deal
D．It’s the perfect opportunity to hit your goals at the gym
E.But don’t worry if your surgeon only has spots on Thursday
F.That same earlier-is-better approach applies to days of the week as well
G.Humans are social animals,and we need feel comfortable in our place in a “tribe”
参考答案：
1．F 2．C 3．G 4．D 5．B
本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了周一你应该做的五件事。
1．根据上文中的“Researchers already know that the morning is the safest time of day to go under the knife. It’s when hospital staffs are most alert and least likely to make a mistake. (研究人员已经知道，早晨是一天中最安全的手术时间。这是医院工作人员最警觉、最不可能犯错误的时候)”可知，一天中较早的时候是最警觉、最不可能犯错误的时候。由此可知，F项That same earlier-is-better approach applies to days of the week as well (同样的“越早越好”的方法也适用于一周中的天数)符合题意，其中earlier-is-better对应上文中的the morning。故选F。
2．根据上文中的“If you drove a lot over the weekend and need to fill your tank, wait until Monday morning to hit the gas station. (如果你周末开了很多车，需要加满油，那就等到周一早上再去加油站吧)”及下文“And never fill up on a Tursday — that's when prices are highest.(永远不要在星期四去买，因为那是价格最高的时候)”可知，如果等到周一早上再去加油，你可以节省一些开支。由此可知，C项If you do, you’ll almost definitely get better deal (如果你这样做，你几乎肯定会得到更好的交易)符合题意，其中If you do指的是“wait until Monday morning to hit the gas station”。故选C。
3．根据本段小标题“Gossip with your coworkers(和同事说闲话)”及上文中的“The Monday blues are real, and scientists guess that one reason we get them might date back to our caveman day.(“星期一忧郁症”是真实存在的，科学家们猜测，我们产生这种忧郁症的原因之一可能可以追溯到穴居人时代)”可知，此处在讲人们需要进行必要的社交活动。由此可知，G项Humans are social animals,and we need feel comfortable in our place in a “tribe”(人类是社会性动物，我们需要在“部落”中感到舒适)符合题意。故选G。
4．根据本段小标题“Head to the gym(去健身房)”可知，本段讲述去健身房的好处。由此可知，D项It’s the perfect opportunity to hit your goals at the gym (这是在健身房实现目标的绝佳机会)符合题意，其中gym是关键词。故选D。
5．根据下文中的“A resarch suggests that we may be more likely to follow through with our professional goals if we start on a Monday rather than a Thursday. The personal goal for the week, such as trying a new exercise, reading a book, or learning a new song on the guitar can provide you motivation during your busy week.(一项研究表明，如果我们在周一开始工作，而不是周四，我们更有可能完成我们的职业目标。每周的个人目标，比如尝试一种新的运动，阅读一本书，或者用吉他学一首新的歌曲，可以给你忙碌的一周提供动力)”可知，本段主要讲述的是在一周的开始做一个目标清单。由此可知，B项Make a priority to-do list (列一个优先事项清单)符合题意。故选B。
