第讲阅读七选五08一目录■■■■■新知导航熟悉题型、掌握知识脉络国基础知识知识点全面梳理，掌握必备重点记忆关键点快速记忆，提升能力口♦小试牛刀考点剖析+过关检测，合理应用位置设空题!细节线索题阅读七选五语段过渡题［主旨概括题七选五阅读正文部分通常是一篇完整的文章，有五个句子被挖空，正文后给出七个选项，均为完整句子，要求考生根据文章结构、内容，选出正确的句子，填入相应的空白处此题型拓宽了阅读理解能力考察的深度和广度，考查学生句子和语篇两个层面的阅读能力和领悟能力，以及对整个语篇的衔接手段与连贯性的洞察力总之，对于高一学生来说，七选五的题型难度要大于传统的阅读理解题，对学生把握文章结构脉络、逻辑思维能力和语言综合运用能力，有更高的要求位置设空题结合上下文语境，根据设空处前、后句或前、后段的意义和逻辑关系，并结合语境的关键词和主题词,遵循“由易至U难”的顺序，从最明确的空白处入手，逐步确定所有答案选项“阅读理解七选五”在设空时，选项的设置往往遵循“能抽出能还原”的原则，抽出的句子在上下文语境中一般都能找到相应的还原依据因此,做题时一定要从上下文语境中找到支撑相关选项的具体事实信息，有时还需要根据表层信息进行推理和判断才能确定最佳选项

1、如果空白处在段首，则答案通常是段落主题句，做题时，应认真阅读本段内容，概括段落大意，查找同义词或其他相关的词，推断出主题句

2、如果空白处在段中，段中的空白处多位于段落主题句之后，与上下文构成明显的逻辑关系如常见的分述细化主题的并列关系、语义发生变化的转折关系，对上诉概念的解释说明、举例论证，这些句子起衔接上下文的作用，因此成为历年高考语篇考查的重中之重43It cancause nervousness,worries andheartburn.Moreover,coffee can be addictivelike anydrug.44For somepeople,just one cup of coffee aday isOK.Caffeine（咖啡因）is themajor chemicalin coffee.Caffeine poisoningcan occurif morethan400milligrams ofcaffeineis drunkin ashort period,which isabout fourto fivecups of coffee.45So itshould be avoided beforebed.A.Coffee hasmany benefits.B.Caffeine willalso causesleep difficulty.C.The moreyou drink,the moreyou dependon it.D.The caffeinein coffeecan actuallyhelp fightdisease.E.However,it isconsidered harmfulif coffee is takenin largeamount.F.Drinking coffeewhile you have thiskind ofdisease willmake itworse.G.Whether thelegend istrue ornot,the discoveryof coffeedates back to800A.D.Passage10（2023上・湖南•高一校联考阶段练习）Worldwide,at least13%of peoplebetween theages of10and19live withadiagnosed mental health disorder,according to the latestState of the WorldsChildren report.

46.Italso showsthat adolescentmentalhealthis highlycomplex,understudied andunderfunded.Psychological distres（s困扰）among young people seemsto berising.One studyfound thatrates ofdepression among（）US adolescents aged12to17increased from

8.5%of youngadults to

13.2%between2005and

2017.Another evidenceis that thecoronavirus pandemicworsens thistrend insome countries.For example,in anationwide studyfrom Iceland,（）adolescentsaged13to18reported significantlymore symptomsof mentalill healthduring thepandemic thandid theirpeersbefore it.

47.However,there isonly one-third ofinvestment inmental-health researchthat isdirected mainlyat young people.Moreover,scientists involvedtend towork insidetheir ownfields.48,which meanseffectiveforms ofprevention andtreatment arelimited.

49.Alexander Darosat theCampbell FamilyMental HealthInstitute inToronto andcolleagues reportananalysis of90randomized controlledtests.They foundthat helpingyoung peopleto improvetheir emotion-regulation（情绪调节）skills,which areneeded tocontrol emotionalresponses todifficult situations,can enablethem todeal betterwithanxiety anddepression.Along withthe report,the studiesalso stressthe partthat fundersmust urgentlyplay,and whyresearchers andcommunitiesmust work together onmore studiesabout youngpeople,

50.Together,we canall dobetterto createa brighter,healthier futurefor ageneration ofyoungpeople who arefacing morechallenges thanever before.A.Luckily,researchers havebegun toinvestigate waysB.genuinely involvingyoungpeopleas co-investigatorsC.which cantake theirneeds andcondition intoconsiderationD.And thelinks betweenresearch andhealth-care servicesare oftenpoorE.And girlswere more likely toexperience thesesymptoms thanwere boysF.But interpersonalskills canbe moreeffective inpreventing andtreating anxietyG.It highlightsthe urgentneed forprevention andtreatment ofyouth mentalhealth

3、如果空白处在段尾，则答案通常是结论或概括性的语句空白处前的一句或两句是重点语句，重点阅读以锁定关键词做题时注意在选项中查找表示结果、结论、总结等的信号词如therefore,as aresult,thus,hence,in short,tosum up,to conclude,in aword等词语如果在选项中找不出与前文之间的关联，此时可考虑与下一段开头是否有一定的衔接，即空白处起前后两段过渡作用细节线索题英语阅读七选五题型要求考生从整体上把握文章的逻辑结构和内容上的联系，理解句子之间、段落之间的关系，对诸如连贯性、一致性等语段特征有较强的意识和熟练的把握，并具备运用语法知识分析理解长难句的能力这要求考生平时注重重点词汇、重点语法学习，同时要求教者在平时教学中加强词形转换及单句语法填空训练可以说，此题型是对语言能力和阅读理解能力的综合测试

1、略读文章抓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等后的内容）等重要部分，以了解文章的基本结构和内容大意

2、重点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

3、看看结构变轻松在解题过程中，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，通过观察语言结构也可将选择范围大大缩小，心情变得更加轻松，一般可将7个选项缩小到2〜4个选项，碰对的机率大大提|W]o

4、词语复现显神功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

5、代词逻辑亦管用我们知道，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语段过渡题七选五是在一篇短文中抽出五句话，抽走的句子可能在段首、段中或段尾，其中语段过渡题所涉及的句子是过渡句，它们具有承上启下的作用该题型主要考查段落内和段落间过渡句，需要学生有较强的对所读文本篇章结构的理解分析能力和对上下文之间逻辑关系的概括和归纳能力该题型的设空位置比较灵活，可以出现在文本的段首、段中和段尾任意位置，需要学生读懂文本内容，剖析文本结构，从而确定答案

1、段落内过渡句学生需要仔细阅读所给空格前后相邻内容，深度挖掘文本的内在逻辑关系，特别注意衔接词和逻辑关系的信号词，同时标出关键词，使所选答案能够把上下两句内容紧密的衔接起来

2、段落间过渡句学生需要认真研读空格上一段的段尾句和下一段的主要内容，同时关注衔接词和逻辑关系的信号词，然后与选项中的关联词或者信号词建立联系，进一步确定答案

3、常见的衔接词和体现逻辑关系的信号词有

①并列与递进关系:firstly,secondly,thirdly,finally,at last,in theend,for onething...for anther,and,also,not...but,in thefirst place,in thesecond place,furthermore,moreover,whafs more,notonly...but also,either...or,neither...nor,in additionto,as well,to makematters worse等

②因果关系:therefore,hence,consequently,as aresult,thus,so等

③转折与让步关系:however,in fact,as amatter offact,yet,though,in spiteof,nevertheless,otherwise,while,rather than,even if/though,despite等

④对比关系:while（放句中），in contrast/bycomparison,unlike,in comparison with,similarly等主旨概括题主旨概括题主要考查考生对文章或段落进行概括的能力，它要求考生在阅读文章时.，能够提炼其中心思想，体会作者的写作意图，充分运用概括能力提取文章的主题、观点以及作者的情感态度这类题通常从两个方面设题

①概括文章或段落的主题句或结论性语句；

②段落标题该题型根据考查对象的不同可以把主旨概括型题目分为两类标题句和主题句标题句往往短小精悍,多为名词性短语或祈使句，一般用以总结文章或者某个段落的主旨学生需要通读整个文本或者段落，理清文本逻辑和结构，才能归纳出标题句主题句一般用以概括某段落的中心思想，一般设在段首，考查学生的主旨概括能力一般情况下，短文首段给出中心句，其他各段落有一个段落中心句，形成文本的框架结构学生需要认真阅读该段落，根据段落一致性原则，查找相关词或者同义词，从而推测出主题句，找到答案主题句一般具有一定的概括性，不涉及具体细节内容，学生需要注意主题句概括的完整性，避免以偏概全或者与段落中心思想不符合技能1语法手段法（指代法）★解题方略英语表达中代词出现的频率极高，代词的作用无非是指代前面提及的名词或形容词概念，巧妙利用这样的指代关系和根据代词的单复数差异可以准确而快速地解题例如it可指代单数名词或整个句子；they或them指代复数名词；one指代单数可数名词；that指代不可数名词或句子；this指代单数名词或句子；these或those指代前句的复数名词技能2词汇手段法（复现/同现）★解题方略词汇复现法是为保证文章前后衔接而经常使用的一种写作手段，即在文章中不同的位置对同一个概念进行重复描述，从而使得同样的意思在文章中不同的地方重复出现其形式主要包括原词复现、同（近）义词复现、反义词复现、同根词复现等考生可利用文章的这一特点，在解题时注意选项中出现的与正文意思相同、相近或相反的词技能3逻辑关系法（总分关系、顺承关系、转折关系、因果关系、并列关系、解释关系、列举或举例、顺序关系）★解题方略从关联词作为切入点通常，英语的句段之间经常会运用关联词表示过渡和衔接，让文章的思路与更清楚、逻辑更连贯，因此文章中和选项中表示各种逻辑关系的路标性信号词在选择答案时都是很重要的线索在做题时可将这三个层面的线索很好地结合起来若空格前后构成逻辑上的递进关系，则空格处很有可能是个表示递进关系的句子以下六类为常用的关联词，请大家一定要背熟

1.并歹U关系and,firstly,secondly,then/next,finally/last,to beginwith,some...others...,for onething...for anotherthing...等

2.递进关系too,also,besides,further,furthermore,moreover,likewise,similarly,whats more,whats worse,in addition,as well,to makematters worse,not...but...,not only...but also...等

3.转折关系but,however,yet,still,instead,nevertheless,while/though/although,or/otherwise,on thecontrary,incontrast/comparisonwith...,by comparison等

4.因果关系because,so,therefore,thus,consequently,as aresult of,so/such...that...,so that...等

5.彳列证关系for example,for instance,in fact/as amatter offact,actually,in otherwords/that is to say等

6.概况归纳关系in short,in brief,in summarygenerally speaking,in general,to conclude,in conclusion,in aword,onthe whole,to sumup等阅读七选五Passage1（2023上,江苏•高一校联考阶段练习）（投资）Parental investment has increasedAre
