阅读七选五常用解题技法——“二步”解题法
第一步：看位置----定类型
句子在段中的位置不同，所起的作用也不同。命题人之所以采用段首、段中和段尾三种挖空方式，正
是利用挖空位置的暗示作用和挖空上下文的提示作用，来考查考生的逻辑思维能力。段首、段中、段尾题
在文中所起的作用可归纳为下表：
挖空位置 逻辑关系 具体解读
主旨句 常以段落小标题或主题句的形式出现。
段首题
承上启下句 此空处的答案能够将上段和下段的内容连贯起来。
前后的某句是为了证明另一句而举的例子。例证的形式具有多样性，思维
过程基本是归纳(从例子到观点)和推理(从观点到例子)。常见的表示例证关
例证关系
系的标志词语有：for example, for instance, in fact/as a matter of fact, actually,
in other words/that is to say等。
若空格前后两句之间是逻辑上的逆转， 则空格处很有可能表示转折。表示
转折关系的标志词语有： but, however, yet, while/though/although,
转折关系
or/otherwise, on the contrary, instead, nevertheless(然而), still, in
contrast/comparison, by comparison等。
段中题 表示因果关系的标志词语有：so, therefore, thus, consequently(结果), as a
因果关系
result (of), so/such ...that ..., so that ...等。
若空格前后两句之间是逻辑上的层进关系，则空格处很有可能是个表示递
进的句子。表示递进关系的标志词语有：too, also, besides, further,
递进关系
furthermore, moreover, likewise, similarly, what's more, what's worse, in
addition, as well, to make matters worse, not ... but ..., not only ... but also等。
并列关系 表示并列关系的标志词语有：and, first(ly), second(ly); first, then/next; to begin
with, some ... others ...; for one thing, for another thing; then/next, finally/last
等。
段尾题 总结句 用于总结本段内容，常含有总结性的词语。
承上启下句 此空处的答案能够将上段和下段的内容连贯起来。
[例1]…
●__40__ If you work out bright and early in the morning, you will be more likely to stick to healthy food
choices throughout the day. Who would want to ruin their good workout by eating junk food? You will want to
continue to focus on positive choices.
…
A．You will stick to your diet.
B．Your quality of sleep improves.
C．You prefer healthy food to fast food.
D．There is no reason you should exercise in the morning.
E．You can keep your head clear for 4－10 hours after exercise.
F．After you exercise, you continue to burn calories throughout the day.
G．If you are planning to do exercise regularly, or you're doing it now, then listen up!
[分析] 设空处位于段首，应是该段落的小标题。该段的主要内容是“如果晨练，你就更有可能会坚
持一整天吃健康的食物”，故该段的主旨是“坚持健康饮食”；再结合本段中的“healthy food”“junk food”
与A项中的diet相关，故选A。
[例2]
…
●Your metabolism (新陈代谢) gets a head start. __38__ If you work out in the mornings, then you will be
getting the calorie (卡路里) burning benefits for the whole day, not in your sleep.
…
A．You will stick to your diet.
B．Your quality of sleep improves.
C．You prefer healthy food to fast food.
D．There is no reason you should exercise in the morning.
E．You can keep your head clear for 4－10 hours after exercise.
F．After you exercise, you continue to burn calories throughout the day.
G．If you are planning to do exercise regularly, or you're doing it now, then listen up!
[分析] 设空处位于段中，属于段中题。这一段说的是晨练有助于人体的新陈代谢，能让你一整天都
感受到晨练消耗卡路里带来的好处。F项“晨练之后你还会在一天时间里继续消耗卡路里”中的关键词
“throughout the day”与文中的“the whole day”呼应。故选F。
[例3]
…
The large color decisions in your rooms concern the walls, ceilings, and floors. Whether you're looking at
wallpaper or paint, the time, effort and relative expense put into it are significant. __40__.
A．While all of them are usefulB．Whatever you're looking for
C．If you're experimenting with a color
D．Small color choices are the ones we're most familiar with
E．It's not really a good idea to use too many small color pieces
F．So it pays to be sure, because you want to get it right the first time
G．Color choices in this range are a step up from the small ones in two major ways
[分析] 该空位于段尾，应属于总结句。根据空前的“the time, effort and relative expense put into it are
significant”可知，大型物品的颜色选择所需要的时间、精力、费用很大，这恰与F项构成因果关系。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些外出就餐时要知道的一些重要事情。
36D【解析】根据文章标题“Important Things to Know When Dining Out (外出就餐时要知道的重要事情)”可
知，本文主要介绍的是外出就餐时应该知道的重要事情。由此可知，D项“Don’t get caught making anembarrassing mistake at a restaurant (不要在餐馆犯尴尬的错误)”符合语境，其中“at a restaurant”对应标题中
的“When Dining Out”，同时引起下文“Knowing some tips will help ensure that you have an enjoyable meal
with friends or family — no matter where you are in the world. (知道一些技巧将有助于确保你和朋友或家人一
起享受一顿愉快的晚餐——无论你在世界的哪个地方)”。故选D。
37F【解析】根据本段小标题“Chopstick Rules”可知，本段主要讲述的是使用筷子的规则。根据上文
“When you put them down between bites, always put them down together so they are parallel with the edge of the
table in front of you. (当你在吃的间隙把它们放下来的时候，一定要把它们放在一起，这样它们就和你面前
的桌子边缘平行了)”可知，此处讲述了正确使用筷子的方式。由此可知，F项“Never stick them upright in
your food or cross them as you use them (不要把它们笔直地插在你的食物中，也不要在使用它们时交叉放
置)”讲述的也是使用筷子时的注意事项，符合此处语境，其中“them”指的是上文的“chopsticks”。故选
F。
38C【解析】根据本段小标题“Hands or Utensils (餐具)”可知，本段主要讲述的是手和餐具的问题。根据
上文“In India and the Middle East, it’s considered very rude to eat with your left hand. People in France expect
you to eat with a utensil in each hand. (在印度和中东，用左手吃饭被认为是非常不礼貌的。法国人希望你每
只手拿一个餐具吃饭)”及下文“instead preferring to use their hands (相反更愿意使用他们的双手)”可知，此
处在讲述不同国家就餐时习惯使用哪只手的问题。由此可知，C项“Mexicans consider it inappropriate to eat
with utensils (墨西哥人认为用餐具吃饭是不合适的)”符合语境，与下文形成转折关系。故选C。
39G【解析】根据本段小标题“Making Requests”可知，本段主要讲述的是用餐时提请求的问题。根据下
文“In Portugal, this would be a serious mistake, because it shows the chef that you don’t like their seasoning
skills. Similarly, in Italy, never ask for extra cheese to add to your food. (在葡萄牙，这将是一个严重的错误，因
为这向厨师表明你不喜欢他们的调味技巧。同样，在意大利，永远不要要求在食物中添加额外的奶酪)”可
推知，在一些国家，用餐时提出要求是很无礼的。由此可知，G项“It may seem like simple request to ask
for salt and pepper at a meal (吃饭时要盐和胡椒看似很简单)”符合此处语境，其中“request”是关键词，说
明，在用餐时提出一些我们看来很平常的要求在某些国家是无礼的。故选G。
40B【解析】根据下文“the more comfortable you’ll begin to feel with its foreign cultural practices. (你就会对
它 的外国文化习俗感到越舒服)”可推知，此处指在一个国家待得越久，就会越习惯当地习俗，且此处是
“the+比较级，the+比较级”结构，B项“The more time you spend in any given country (你在某个国家待的
时间越长)”符合文意，引出下文。故选B。
第二步：由类型--定技法
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。这类题常以
考查段落标题为主，设题位置一般在段首，有时总结性的语句也会出现在段中或段尾。这类题有时也会考
查整篇文章的主旨大意，即文章的主题句，一般会在首段设空。概括起来讲，命题人通常从两个方面设
题：①概括文章或段落的主题句或结论性语句；②段落标题。解答主旨概括题通常采用浏览的方式，即重点搜索本段的主题线索词并快速理清主旨大意，然后浏览
选项，准确判定出与主旨大意匹配的选项。
[例]
●__39__ Studies found that people who woke up early for exercise slept better than those who exercised in the
evening. Exercise energizes you, so it is more difficult to relax and have a peaceful sleep when you are very
excited.
A．You will stick to your diet.
B．Your quality of sleep improves.
C．You prefer healthy food to fast food.
D．There is no reason you should exercise in the morning.
E．You can keep your head clear for 4－10 hours after exercise.
F．After you exercise, you continue to burn calories throughout the day.
G．If you are planning to do exercise regularly, or you're doing it now, then listen up!
[分析] 设空位于段首，应为本段主题句。主题句一般是对上文或下文内容的总结，快速浏览本段，
本段提到slept better, difficult to relax, a peaceful sleep，依据这些关键词汇可概括本段说的是晨练比晚上锻
炼更能改善睡眠，因此选B。
语段过渡题
语段过渡题所涉及的句子是过渡句，具有承上启下的作用，该题型主要考查考生对篇章的理解能力和
对上下文之间逻辑关系的分析能力。其设空位置比较灵活，可位于段尾、段首或段中。解这类题通常可采
用位置判断法。
如果设空位于段首，要前瞻后望找提示，即阅读上一段结尾部分，通常正确答案与之衔接，并结合本
段内容，看所选的答案是否能将两段内容连贯起来。
如果设空位于段中，重点阅读该空的前一句和后一句，找出它们之间的逻辑关系或根据意义的连贯性
得出答案；如果还没有把握，再分析该段的中心句。
如果设空位于段尾，在选项中找不出与前文之间的关联时，可考虑与下一段开头之间的衔接。仔细阅
读下一段开头几句，看是否能与所选选项紧密连接起来。
[例]
Medium color choices are generally furniture pieces such as sofas, dinner tables or bookshelves. __39__. They
require a bigger commitment than smaller ones, and they have a more powerful effect on the feeling of a space.
A．While all of them are useful
B．Whatever you're looking for
C．If you're experimenting with a color
D．Small color choices are the ones we're most familiar with
E．It's not really a good idea to use too many small color pieces
F．So it pays to be sure, because you want to get it right the first time
G．Color choices in this range are a step up from the small ones in two major ways
[分析] 设空处在段中，所填句子应是过渡句。该空前一句主要内容是“medium color choices”，是G项中“small ones”的升级。该空后一句介绍了两种方式的颜色选择，与G项中的“two major ways”相呼
应，故选G。
2022年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（全国乙卷）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Friendship needs care and attention to keep it in good health. Here are five ways to sustain (保持) long-
distance friendships.
·Set a regular date
Long-lasting friendships share the characteristic that both sides equally contact (联系) and share with one
another. With busy schedules, squeezing in phone calls can be a challenge. ___36___.
·More isn’t always merrier
Make sure you have communicated with your friend about how frequently each of you wants to be contacted
and what method works best for you both. ___37___. There are alternatives to constant written communication,
such as leaving voice messages or having a group chat.
·Practise empathy (共情)
___38___. The friend who is remaining needs to be sensitive to all the additional time demands placed on the
friend who has moved. The one in the new environment should be sympathetic to the fact that your friend may feel
abandoned.
· ___39___
Anniversaries and birthdays carry even more weight in long-distance friendships. Although technology might
make day-to-day communication possible, extra effort goes a long way on special days. Simply keeping a diary that
keeps track of friends’ birthdays and other important dates will make sure nothing slips by you.
·Don’t rely on technology alone
___40___, but long-distance friendships — even close ones — may require more conscious effort to sustain.
Try to seek out chances to renew friendships. How to do it? Just spend face-to-face time together whenever
possible.
A. Remember important dates
B. Compensate by writing letters
C. It is also helpful for you to be a friendship keeper
D. Try to find a time that works for both of you and stick to it
E. Friends need to talk about their preferred methods of communication
F. It is easy to have a sense of connectedness through social media
G. You may be the friend who left or the one who was left behind
【导语】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了五种维系异地友谊的方法。
36D【解析】上文“With busy schedules, squeezing in phone calls can be a challenge.”（平日繁忙，很难抽出
时间打电话。）讲的是双方都很忙碌，很难有时间给对方打电话，D项“尽量找个双方都有空的时间去打
电话，并坚持下去” 给出了解决没时间打电话这个问题的方法，符合题意。故选D项。
37E【解析】上文“Make sure you have communicated with your friend about how frequently each of you wants
to be contacted and what method works best for you both.”（确保你已经和你的朋友沟通过，了解你们想要联系的频率，以及哪种方法对你们双方都最有效。）提到异地朋友之间要商量沟通方式，E项“朋友需要谈
论他们喜欢的交流方式”承接上文，进一步提出对交流的方法的沟通，下文“There are alternatives to
constant written communication, such as leaving voice messages or having a group chat.”（除了持续的文字交
流，还有其他选择，比如留下语音信息或进行群聊。）对E项中的“methods of communication”进行了举例
说明，上下文语意连贯。故选E项。
38G【解析】下文“The friend who is remaining”（留下来的朋友）和“The one in the new environment”（在
新环境中的那个）提到朋友的两个不同处境，G项“你可能是朋友中离开的那一方，也可能是被留下的那
一方”指出了异地友谊中分为离开的一方和留下的一方，其中“the friend who left”和“the one who was left
behind”分别对应下文“The one in the new environment”和“The friend who is remaining”，所以G项符合题
意。故选G项。
39A【解析】分析文章结构可知，设空处的内容是维系异地友谊的第四个方法，是第五段的小标题。下文
“Anniversaries and birthdays carry even more weight in long-distance friendships.”（周年纪念日和生日对于异
地友谊而言是非常重要的。）讲的是诸如周年纪念日和生日等重要的日子对于维系异地友谊是非常重要
的，由此推知，这段对应的维系异地友谊的方法是A项“记得重要的日子”，所以A项符合题意。故选A
项。
40F【解析】设空处所在句子的后半句“but long-distance friendships — even close ones — may require more
conscious effort to sustain.”（但是异地友谊——甚至是关系亲密的友谊——可能需要更加自觉地去维系。）
讲的是我们要更加自觉地维系异地友谊，其中“but”说明后半句与设空处形成转折，而F项“朋友之间很
容易通过社交媒体产生一种联结感”讲的是可以通过社交媒体这种方式很容易与朋友产生联结，与后半句
“require more conscious effort to sustain”形成转折，而且其中的“social media”呼应了该段的小标题“Don’t
rely on technology alone”（不要仅仅依赖技术）中的“technology”。故选F项。
细节线索题
细节线索类的试题要求考生更加注重文章中的细节，比如某个关键的单词或数字等。解答这类试题经
常用到的方法有：词汇复现法、词汇同现法、代词线索法、逻辑关系线索法等。
1．词汇复现法
复现法是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。复现的形式主要包括原词复现、同(近)义词
复现、反义词复现等。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。
[例]
They're the little spots of color like throw pillows, mirrors and baskets that most of us use to add visual interest
to our rooms. Less tiring than painting your walls and less expensive than buying a colorful sofa, small color
choices bring with them the significant benefit of being easily changeable.
A．While all of them are useful
B．Whatever you're looking for
C．If you're experimenting with a colorD．Small color choices are the ones we're most familiar with
E．It's not really a good idea to use too many small color pieces
F．So it pays to be sure, because you want to get it right the first time
G．Color choices in this range are a step up from the small ones in two major ways
[分析] 解此题可运用词汇复现法，该空所在段最后一句中的“small color choices”是D项“Small
color choices”的原词复现。故选D。
2．词汇同现法
词汇同现是指属于同一词汇范畴或者某一领域的词汇在文章中同时出现，达到语意衔接的目的。一般
来说，上下文中词汇的范畴越小，上下文的衔接关系越紧密。
[例]
I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another funfilled holiday in the wilderness.__38__ Instead, we had a
popup camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner.My natureloving friends had remembered to bring all
the necessities of life.
A．This time there was no tent.
B．Things are going to be improved.
C．The trip they took me on was a rough one.
D．I was to learn a lot about camping since then, however.
E．I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping.
F．After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping.
G．There was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall.
[分析] 解此题可运用词汇同现法。该空前面的部分说明了作者被说服参加另一次野营活动，而空后
则说这次野营活动有舒服的床和空调，因此空处的论述应该是在“住宿”这一范畴内，几个选项中只有 A
项合适。
3．代词线索法
英语文章中代词出现的频率极高，代词一般用来指代前面提及的名词，考生如果能巧妙地利用这样的
指代关系或根据代词的单复数就可以准确而快速地解题。
[例]
Over the years, there have been a number of different techniques to help designers approach this important
point. __37__， they can get a little complex. But good news is that there're really only three kinds of decisions
you need to make about color in your home: the small ones, the medium ones, and the large ones.
A．While all of them are useful
B．Whatever you're looking for
C．If you're experimenting with a color
D．Small color choices are the ones we're most familiar with
E．It's not really a good idea to use too many small color pieces
F．So it pays to be sure, because you want to get it right the first time
G．Color choices in this range are a step up from the small ones in two major ways[分析] 解此题可运用代词线索法。空格后的they指代上文中的techniques，且与A项中的all of them
相呼应，代入A项“尽管它们都很有用”，符合语境，故选A。
4．逻辑关系线索法
一篇文章往往是一个有机的整体，各部分之间存在着一定的联系。从逻辑意义上来看，句子与句子之
间常常有并列、顺承、递进、转折、总分、解释、因果、过渡、例证等关系，有时甚至包含不止一种这样
的关系。因此，理解阅读材料时一定要把握文章脉络，弄清其中的逻辑关系。如果文中或选项中出现了逻
辑关系词，考生就可以利用其来进行推理判断；如果文中或选项中未出现逻辑关系词，这就需要考生全面
理解文章大意，根据上下文语境弄清文章内在的逻辑关系，作出正确的判断。
[例 1] (2017·全国卷Ⅰ) If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my
weekends camping, I would have laughed heartily.Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insect bites, ill-
cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags.They had nothing in common with me.__36__
The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer ...
I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another funfilled holiday in the wilderness ...
...We have done a lot of it since ...
__40(E)__ It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature.I recommend that
you find your way in style.
A．This time there was no tent.
B．Things are going to be improved.
C．The trip they took me on was a rough one.
D．I was to learn a lot about camping since then, however.
E．I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping.
F．After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping.
G．There was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall.
[分析] 解此题可运用逻辑关系线索法。首句“如果三年前有人告诉我我会花大部分的周末时间去野
营，我将会开怀大笑”使用了虚拟语气，预示了后面的转折关系。接着讲述了作者过去对野营的看法。由
下文可知作者起初和后来对野营的态度不一样。D项表示“但是，从那时起我就学习了很多关于野营的知
识”，however与上文构成转折关系，因此是最佳选项。此题的关键是however这个逻辑关系词，承上启
下，为下文内容作铺垫。
[例2]
...
●Recall (回忆) your childhood memories
Our model of what a garden should be often goes back to childhood. Grandma's rose garden and Dad's
vegetable garden might be good or bad, but that's not what's important. __39__ — how being in those gardens
made us feel. If you'd like to build a powerful bond with your garden, start by taking some time to recall the
gardens of your youth. 40(G). Then go outside and work out a plan to translate your childhood memories into your
grownup garden. Have fun.
A．Know why you gardenB．Find a good place for your own garden
C．It's our experience of the garden that matters
D．It's delightful to see so many beautiful flowers
E．Still others may simply enjoy being outdoors and close to plants
F．You can produce that kind of magical quality in your own garden, too
G．For each of those gardens, write down the strongest memory you have
[分析] 解此题可运用逻辑关系线索法。空格前说“但那不是重要的事情”，由此可推测空格处会指
出什么才是重要的，前后为顺承逻辑关系，C项“我们做园艺工作的体验才是重要的”符合题意。故选C
项。
[例3]
...
Unfortunately, we've all been victims of betrayal. Whether we've been stolen from, lied to, misled, or cheated
on, there are different levels of losing trust. Sometimes people simply can't trust anymore. __37__ It's
understandable, but if you're willing to build trust in a relationship again, we have some steps you can take to get
you there.
...
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.
[分析] 此题从行文逻辑上判断属因果关系。上句意为“有时候，人们简直无法再信任(别人)了”，而
本句应是解释人们无法信任别人的原因。故E项符合题意。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何找到一个一起锻炼的伙伴。
36C【解析】根据前文“Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled “Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout
Partne.” One reason was: “You’ll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym,”(《健身杂
志》最近刊登了一篇题为《感谢健身伙伴的五个理由》的文章。一个理由是：“如果你知道有人在健身房
等你，你就会去锻炼。”)”可知，这里陈述另一个和别人一起锻炼的理由。所以选择项 C“You'll work
harder if you train with someone else.(如果你和别人一起训练，你会更努力。)”符合上下文语境。故选C。
37D【解析】根据前文“First of all, decide what you want from that person. (首先，决定你想从那个人身上得
到什么。)”和后文“Or do you just want to be physically fit, able to move with strength and flexibility?(或者你只
是想要身体健康，能够移动的力量和灵活性?)”可知，这里是一个问句，反问自己结伴锻炼的目的。所以选
择项D“Do you want to be a better athlete in your favorite sport? (你想在你最喜欢的运动项目上成为更好的运
动员吗?)”符合上下文语境。故选D。
38B【解析】根据前文“You might think about posting what you are looking for on social media, but probably
won't result in a useful response. (你可能会考虑在社交媒体上发布你想要的东西，但可能不会得到有用的回
应。)”和后文“If you plan on working out in a gym, that person must belong to the same gym.(如果你打算在健
身房锻炼，那个人一定是同一个健身房的。)”可知，寻找的锻炼伙伴要具有便利性的特点。所以选择项
B“A workout partner usually needs to live close by. (锻炼伙伴通常需要住在附近。)”符合上下文语境。故选
B。
39G【解析】根据前文“My partner posted her request on the notice board of a local park. Her notice included
what kind of training she wanted to do, how many days a week and how many hours she wanted to spend on each
session, and her age. It also listed her favorite sports and activities, and provided her phone number. (我的搭档把
她的要求贴在了当地公园的布告栏上。她的注意事项包括她想要做什么样的锻炼，每周多少天，每次培训
要花多少小时，以及她的年龄。它还列出了她最喜欢的运动和活动，并提供了她的电话号码。)”可知，本
段作者以自己的锻炼伙伴为例，说明寻找锻炼伙伴布告所要包括的信息。所以选择项G“Any notice for a
training partner should include such information. (任何锻炼伙伴的布告都应包括这些信息。)”符合上下文语
境。故选G。
40F【解析】根据前文“You and your partner will probably have different skills. (你和你的伴侣可能有不同的技能。)”和后文“Over time, both of you will benefit -- your partner will be able to lift more weights and you will
become more physically fit.(久而久之，你们双方都会受益——你的伴侣会举起更多的重量，你也会变得更
健康。)”可知，要学会求同存异，一起合作，共同提高。所以选择项F“Just accept your differences and learn
to work with each other. (接受你们的不同，学会彼此合作。)”符合上下文语境。故选F。
2022年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（新高考全国Ⅱ卷）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Writing an essay is a difficult process for most people. However, the process can be made easier if you learn to
practice three simple techniques.
___16___ When you are first trying to think of ideas for an essay, put your pen to your paper and write
nonstop for ten or fifteen minutes without letting your pen leave the paper. Stay loose and free. ___17___ Don’t
worry about grammar or spelling. Even though this technique won’t work for everyone, it helps many people get a
good store of ideas to draw on.
The next technique is to write your draft rapidly without worrying about being perfect. ___18___ Yet, by
learning to live with imperfection, you will save yourself headaches and a wastepaper basket full of crumpled (弄
皱) paper. Think of your first draft as a path cut out of the jungle—as part of an exploration, not as a complete
highway.
The third technique is to try printing out a triple—spaced (三倍行距) copy to allow space for revision.
___19___ As a result, these writers never get in the habit of crossing out chunks (大块) of their draft and writing
revisions in the blank space. After you have revised your draft until it is too messy to work from anymore, you can
enter your changes into your word processor. ___20___ The resulting blank space invites you to revise.
A. Make sure your handwriting is neat.
B. Let your pen follow the waves of thought.
C. The second draft of the essay should be better.
D. First of all, learn the technique of nonstop writing.
E. Too many writers try to get their drafts right the first time.
F. Many beginning writers don’t leave enough space to revise.
G. Then you can print out a fresh draft, again setting your text on triple-space.
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是写文章的技巧。
16D【解析】空格处是本段的主题句，由空后的“When you are first trying to think of ideas for an essay, put
your pen to your paper and write nonstop for ten or fifteen minutes without letting your pen leave the paper.(当你
第一次想写一篇文章的时候，把笔放在纸上，不间断地写10到15分钟，不要让笔离开纸。)”可知，本段
主要讲的是要学会不间断地写，D选项“First of all, learn the technique of nonstop writing.(首先，学习不间断
写作的技巧。)”概括了本段的主要内容，可作为主题句，故选D。
17B【解析】空前说“Stay loose and free.(保持宽松和自由。)”，空后说“Don’t worry about grammar or
spelling.(不要担心语法和拼写。)”，因此空格处应说按心里想的写，自由发挥，B选项“Let your pen follow
the waves of thought.(让你的笔跟随思想的波浪。)”说明了按自己的思路和想法来写，因此承上启下，符合
语境，故选B。
18E【解析】空前说“The next technique is to write your draft rapidly without worrying about being perfect.(下一个技巧是快速写草稿，不要担心是否完美。)”，空后说“Yet, by learning to live with imperfection, you will
save yourself headaches and a wastepaper basket full of crumpled (弄皱) paper.(然而，通过学习与不完美共存，
你将避免自己的头痛和一个装满皱巴巴的废纸篓。)”，E选项“Too many writers try to get their drafts right
the first time.(太多的作家试图在第一次就把草稿写好。)”中的“get their drafts”和上文的“write your draft”
相呼应，说明了有很多人想一次就写好，这是不合理的，要学会允许不完美的存在，因此E选项承上启
下，符合语境，故选E。
19F【解析】空前说“The third technique is to try printing out a triple—spaced (三倍行距) copy to allow space
for revision.(第三种方法是打印出三倍行距的副本，以便有修改的空间。)”，F选项“Many beginning writers
don’t leave enough space to revise.(许多初来乍到的作者没有留出足够的修改空间。)”中的“revise”和前面的
“revision”一致，指出了新手作者的常见做法，且其中的“Many beginning writers”和后文的“these writers”
相互呼应，因此F选项承上启下，符合语境，故选F。
20G【解析】空前说“After you have revised your draft until it is too messy to work from anymore, you can enter
your changes into your word processor.(当你修改你的草稿，直到它太乱以至于无法继续工作，你可以把你的
修改输入到你的文字处理器中。)”，空后说“The resulting blank space invites you to revise.(由此产生的空白
允许您修改。)”，因此空格处应说输入到文字处理器后应该做什么，G选项“Then you can print out a fresh
draft, again setting your text on triple-space.(然后你可以打印一份新的草稿，同样将文本设置为三倍行距。)”
说的是输入到你的文字处理器后的做法，其中的“triple-space”和后文的“The resulting blank space”相呼
应，因此G选项承上启下，符合语境，故选G。
阅读七选五快捷解题技法——一序一忌看四点
掌握了解答阅读七选五的关键是理清文章结构和句间逻辑。在考场上，我们不但要拼解题的准度，还
要拼解题的速度，所以本讲我们给考生介绍一种快捷的解题技法——一序一忌看四点。
一序：先看七、再读文，快捷准确有针对
关于做题顺序，是先读文段，还是先看七个选项，大多数人倾向于先读文段。但是，笔者还是建议先
看七个选项，再读短文。先确定哪个选项适合放在文章的什么位置。通常有三个位置：段首、段中、段
尾。不同位置的句子有不同的特征，有时有的选项本身表述就是错误的，可以直接从备选项中清除，以降
低难度。
一忌：“选一个、划一个”，这个方法不足取
解答阅读七选五题目最大的风险就是容易出现连环错！假如做题时，我们选一个，划掉一个，美其名
曰：逐步缩小包围圈。方法虽妙，但倘若前面我们错选了一处，那么就会导致多处错选。
因此我们做题时要特别忌讳“选出一个划掉一个”，以避免造成一错再错，产生连环错误，特别是那
些句子结构相同、句意相近的选项更是需要我们三思而定。
看四点：体裁、指代、连贯词，重复信息有价值
1．看文段体裁，用好鲜明特征
从近年高考所选材料来看，其体裁基本是说明文和记叙文。说明文的特征是主题鲜明、层次清晰，语
篇特征非常明晰。记叙文则以故事发展脉络为主线，为了有趣，常常会出现一些比较特别的记叙手法，因
而会增加理解的难度。2．看代词指代，寻根还需溯源
英语是一门非常讲究简洁的语言，所以在篇章中代词的运用很多，用于指代上文已经提到过的人、物
或者整个事件。追根溯源，找到指代与被替代关系，会大大加快我们解题的速度。
[例]
“I adore dancing，” says Lester Bridges, the owner of a dance studio in Iowa. “I can't imagine doing
anything else with my life.”Bridges runs dance classes for all ages.“Teaching dance is wonderful.__37__ It's great
to watch them. For many of them, it's a way of meeting people and having a social life.”
►D.My older students say it makes them feel young.
[分析] D项中的them指代my older students，空后的两个them也指代my older students。
3．看上下连贯，捕捉文段脉络
上下连贯是好的篇章的特点，常常靠“起承转合”来实现。“起”就是开端，或提出主题或吸引读者
关注主题；“承”就是承接上文加以申述；“转”就是转折，指出问题或困难；“合”则是给出解决问题
的方法或建议。这些特征在说明文和议论文中尤为明显。
[例] )If you are already making the time to exercise, it is good indeed! With such busy lives, it can be hard to
try and find the time to work out. __36__ Working out in the morning provides additional benefits beyond being
physically fit.
►G.If you are planning to do exercise regularly, or you're doing it now, then listen up!
[分析] 本空前文说在繁忙的生活中，我们很难找到时间锻炼，后文说晨练的好处，故中间的衔接句
应该表示“假设有时间锻炼”之类的含义，因此G项符合语境。
4．看重复信息，把握内在联系
篇章是相对完整的一个语义体，自然而然会有很多割裂不开的内在联系。这些联系常常靠同义词、近
义词、反义词或者借助词性的变化来重复体现，而这些重复信息的存在，又为我们提供了良好的解题契
机。
[例] Interruptions are one of the worst things to deal with while you're trying to get work done.__36__，
there are several ways to handle things.Let's take a look at them now.
►B.When you want to avoid interruptions at work
[分析] 本题上文有关键词“Interruptions”和“get work done”，和选项B中的“avoid interruptions”和
“at work”属于同词复现，再结合下文“there are several ways to handle things”，便可迅速判定本题答案为
B。
以上介绍了阅读七选五快捷解题技法，下面结合实例看一下“一序一忌看四点”在解题中的具体应
用。
例练1
Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning, and put the blame on the alarm clock. In fact, the key to
easy morning wakeup lies in resetting your body clock.__36__ Here's how to make one.
·__37__ In order to make a change, you need to decide why it's important. Do you want to get up in time to
have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise, or just be better prepared for your day? Once you are clear
about your reasons, tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make.
·Rethink mornings.Now that you know why you want to wake up, consider rearranging your morningactivities. If you want time to have breakfast with your family, save some time the night before by setting out
clothes, shoes, and bags.__38__That's a quarterhour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with
a timer.
·Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends. If you're tired out by Friday night, sleeping in on Saturday
could sound wonderful. But compensating on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness the following week,
a recent study found.__39__
·Keep a record and evaluate it weekly. Keep track of your efforts and write down how you feel. After you've
tried a new method for a week, take a look at your record.__40__ If not, take another look at other methods you
could try.
A．Get a sleep specialist.
B．Find the right motivation.
C．A better plan for sleep can help.
D．And consider setting a second alarm.
E．If the steps you take are working, keep it up.
F．Stick to your set bedtime and wakeup time, no matter the day.
G．Reconsider the 15 minutes you spend in line at the cafe to get coffee.
[方法运用]
“一序”：读选项：七个选项的排列从最短句到最长句，呈梯形排列；最短的 A、B、C、D四项涵盖性
强，具有主旨句的特点，故可优先考虑放到段首位置。
读文章：本文是一篇说明文，主要提出了关于睡眠以及如何调整生物钟的几个建议。
“一忌”：本文的难点在于选项中同一句式(祈使句)比较多，总共有六个，对于这类相同句式的出现，切
忌“选一个、划掉一个”，这样极易造成“连环错”。
“看四点”：答案解析过程。
36．选C 前句说要调节生物钟，后句则提出要制定一个计划——其中的代词one就是指代C选项中的
plan。
37．选B 本句所处位置在句首，根据说明文的特征，段首句一般多为主题句。结合本段中下文的问题，
可知此处是说找到正确的动机。
38．选G 选项中的“the 15 minutes”是下句中的“a quarterhour”的“重复信息”。
39．选 F 本句所处位置在段末，根据文体特征，一般用于总结本段。而本段中出现的“Friday，
Saturday，weekends”与F选项中的“no matter the day”为“重复信息”。
40．选E 结合下句的“If not ...”正好体现了上下连贯，最终归“合”的典型语篇特征。
例练2
If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping. I would have
laughed heartily.Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insect bites, illcooked meals, and uncomfortable
sleeping bags.They had nothing in common with me.__36__
The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer.__37__We slept in a tent,
cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom.This brief visit withMother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor's bill for my
son's food poisoning.
I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another funfilled holiday in the wilderness.__38__ Instead, we had a
popup camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner.My natureloving friends had remembered to bring all
the necessities of life.
__39__We have done a lot of it since.Recently, we bought a twentyeightfoot travel trailer complete with a
bathroom and a builtin TV set.There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator.The trailer even
has matching carpet and curtains.
__40__ It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature.I recommend that you
find your way in style.
A．This time there was no tent.
B．Things are going to be improved.
C．The trip they took me on was a rough one.
D．I was to learn a lot about camping since then, however.
E．I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping.
F．After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping.
G．There was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall.
[方法运用]
“一序”：读选项：七个选项排列从短到长，呈梯形排列；D项中的“however”一词应注意，此选项具有
转折作用，有可能用于总结前文并引起下文。F项中的“After the trip”有“承接”作用，有可能用于引领下
文的相关内容。
读文章：本文是一篇记叙文，以主人公“我”的旅行及野营为主线索，讲述了“我”参与野营活动的经
历。
“一忌”：记叙文是比较灵活的一种呈现方式。本篇的重点是对事件发生时间顺序的把握。可以说是极易
“错一时，而乱全局”，造成“连环错”。特别是选项中的 A、C、G和E、F两组选项更具有较高的相似
性。
“看四点”：答案解析过程。
36．选D 本句所处位置为段尾，常常用于总结前文，并引起下文。D选项中的“however”就起到了很好
的转折作用，既照应了上文对于野营毫无兴趣的语境，又为下文态度的转变做出了安排。
37．选C 后文“We slept in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and
use the bathroom.”正是对于C选项中的关键词rough的最好诠释，对C项内容的承接和申述。
38．选A 前句的代词“another”和选项A中的“This time”为重复信息，而下句的“Instead”又呈现了
“转”的意义，与前文构成呼应关系。
39．选F 选项E和F意义具有较高的相似性，试比较： “I have certainly come to enjoy camping”和“my
family became quite interested in camping”。但F项中的“After the trip”就起到了很好的“承接”作用，而后
文的所做之事又正好做了阐释，前后连贯自然。
40．选E 此处位于最后一段的段首，应有总结全文之意。E选项中代词I再次出现，恰好重申了作者的身
份，而E项既是对文章首段作者态度变化过程的一个总结，也很好地衔接了后文，形成了一个很好的文段结尾。

前面第二讲提到，阅读七选五
最大的失分风险就是“连环错”。
一旦造成“连环错”，失分就不在
毫厘间，从而拉开考生间的分差。
解答阅读七选五如何既快又准且
稳，避免“连环错”，本讲在前两
讲的基础上，技法再延伸！
“画→析→找→验”解题示范
[例]
[1]Before there was the written word, there was the language of dance. Dance expresses love and hate, joy and
sorrow, life and death, and everything else in between.
[2]__36__ We dance from Florida to Alaska, from north to south and sea to sea. We dance at weddings,
birthdays, office parties and just to fill the time.
[3]“I adore dancing，” says Lester Bridges, the owner of a dance studio in Iowa. “I can't imagine doing
anything else with my life.” Bridges runs dance classes for all ages.“Teaching dance is wonderful.__37__ It's great
to watch them. For many of them, it's a way of meeting people and having a social life.”
[4]__38__ “I can tell you about one young couple，” says Bridges.“They're learning to do traditional
dances. They arrive at the class in low spirits and they leave with a smile.__39__”
[5]So, do we dance in order to make ourselves feel better, calmer, healthier? Andrea Hillier says，“Dance,
like the pattern of a beating heart, is life. Even after all these years, I want to get better and better.__40__ I find it
hard to stop! Dancing reminds me I'm alive.”
A．So why do we dance?
B．Dance in the U．S. is everywhere.
C．If you like dancing outdoors, come to America.
D．My older students say it makes them feel young.
E．I keep practicing even when I'm extremely tired.
F．Dancing seems to change their feeling completely.
G．They stayed up all night long singing and dancing.

第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分）
My husband and I just spent a week in Paris.____36____So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically
expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard. It was so tiny that we had to leave our suitcases in the
hallway.
The place wasn’t entirely authentic, though. Unlike a normal Parisian apartment, the plumbing ( 水 管 )
worked. ____37____Our building even had a tiny lift with a female voice that said, “Ouverture des portes,” in
perfect French. That is the only French phrase I mastered, and it’s a shame I don’t have much use for it.
Parisians are different from you and me. They never look lazy or untidy. As someone noted in this paper a
couple of weeks ago, they eat great food and never gain weight. ____38____ French strawberries do not taste like
cardboard. Instead, they explode in your mouth like little flavor bombs.
____39____ On our first morning in Paris, I went around the corner to the food market to pick up some
groceries. I bought a handful of perfectly ripe small strawberries and a little sweet melon. My husband and I agreed
they were the best fruit we had ever eaten. But they cost $18!
In France, quality of life is much more important than efficiency.
You can tell this by cafés life. French cafés are always crowded.____40____When do these people work? The
French take their 35-hour workweek seriously — so seriously that some labor unions recently struck a deal with a
group of companies limiting the number of hours that independent contractors can be on call.
A. Not all the customers are tourists.
B. The quality of life in France is equally excellent.
C. There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed.
D. The amazing food is mainly consumed by local farmers.
E. That’s not the only reason the French eat less than we do.
F. Our aim was to see if we could live, in some way, like real Parisians.
G. The food is so delicious that you don’t need much of it to make you happy.
【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要讲述了作者夫妇两人在巴黎 的居住的感受。首先，作者介绍了她住的房
子；其次，说明了巴黎人生活非常精致的原因；最后，说明法国人对待生活的态度，相较于工作效率他们
更看重生活品质。
36F【解析】上文“My husband and I just spent a week in Paris.(我丈夫和我刚在巴黎待了一周)”说明了背
景；下文“So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard.
(所以我们做的第一件事就是租了一个非常昂贵公寓，在第六层，只有一个橱柜那么大)”是空格处的结果，
因此空格处需要填原因；根据F项“Our aim was to see if we could live, in some way, like real Parisians.(我们
的目标是看看我们是否在某种程度上可以活的像巴黎人。)”可知，作者要在巴黎住下来，所以需要租房
子，两句构成因果关系。故选F项。
37C【解析】上文“The place wasn’t entirely authentic, though.(不过，这个地方并不是地道的法国住房)”是段
落的中心句，说明第二段主要内容是讲解公寓的情况。下文提到了楼宇和电梯的情况。C项“There was a
nice kitchen and a comfortable bed.(有一个漂亮的厨房和一张舒适的床)”提到了厨房和床，这些都属于公寓的
配置。故选C项。38G【解析】上文“... they eat great food and never gain weight.(他们吃得很好，而且从不发胖)”提及了食
物。下文“French strawberries do not taste like cardboard. Instead, they explode in your mouth like little flavor
bombs.(法国草莓尝起来不像纸板。相反，它们会像小炸弹一样在你嘴里爆炸)”在说明法国的草莓很好吃。
上下文结合可知，因为法国的食物质量很高，所以不用吃很多就能很满足，同时吃的少也就不会发胖了。
G项“The food is so delicious that you don’t need much of it to make you happy. (食物是如此美味，你不需要
吃太多就能使你快乐)”符合语境要求。故选G项。

were the best fruit we had ever eaten. But they cost $18!(我丈夫和我都认为这是我们吃过的最好的水果。但它
们要18美元!)”说明法国的水果好吃但是也很贵。选项E“That's not the only reason the French eat less than we
do.(这并不是法国人吃得比我们少的唯一原因)”承接了上一段关于法国人吃的少但是不胖的话题，同时引起
下文，给出了法国人吃的少的另一个原因‘物价贵’。故选E项。

Swap, Don’t shop!
You keep hearing about recycling, right? But it doesn't end with bottles, cans, and paper. Clothing takes a huge
amount of natural resources（资源）to make, and buying loads of new clothing（or throwing out old clothing）is
not healthy for the environment. So what to do with all those perfectly-good-but-you're-maybe-a-little-sick-of-them
clothes piled on your bedroom floor? ____16____. It's the best way to get rid of your used clothes, score clothes
from your friends, and have a party all at the same time.
A successful swap depends on the selection of clothes, the organization of the event, and, obviously, how
much fun is had. It's really easy to do! Here are a few pointers.
●Invite 5—10 people so you have a nice selection. ____17____ , and there may not be enough things to
choose from; more than that, and it becomes uncontrollable.
●____18____. They should also prepare plenty of reusable bags to carry their "new" clothes home.
●Put different types of clothing on different surfaces in the room.____19____. Place a few mirrors around
your room so people can see how things look when they try them on. One of the ground rules of the swap should be
that everyone must try on the clothes before they take them—things always look different when you put them on.
●Set a starting time. Maybe you say “go,” or turn on a certain song, or whatever. ____20____. And don't
forget to put out some cookies and fruits. Remember, it's a party!
A. Less people than that
B. Hold a clothing swap
C. If two people are competingD. Just keep music playing throughout
E. Donate whatever clothes are left over
F. Have everyone put their clothes in the right spots
G. Tell everyone to bring clean clothes in good condition
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了通过衣物交换来处理旧衣服的方法——衣物交换派对，以及一些具
体的流程。
16B【解析】根据上文“So what to do with all those perfectly- good-but-you 're- maybe-little-sick-of-them
clothes piled on your bedroom floor?（那么，该如何处理那些堆在卧室地板上的（看起来）完好但你可能有
点厌倦的衣服呢？）”提出关于如何解决旧衣物的问题。下文“It's the best way to get rid of your used
clothes, score clothes from your friends, and have a party all at the same time.（这是扔掉旧衣服、从朋友那里买
衣服、同时开派对的最好方法。）”提到了具体处理旧衣物的方法。所以空白处应起承上启下的作用，承
接上文讲到的问题，启下提出的方法。因而空白处是提出了一种处理旧衣物的好方法。B项“Hold a
clothing swap.（进行衣物交换。）”给出了一种处理旧衣物的方法，承上启下，符合语境。故选B项。
17A【解析】根据上文“Invite 5-10 people so you have a nice selection.”（邀请5到10个人，这样你就有一
个很好的选择。）说明了应该邀请的人数。下文“and there may not be enough things to choose from; more
than that, and it becomes uncontrollable.”（可能没有足够的东西可供选择；多于这个数量，它就变得无法控
制。）说明多于或少于一定数量的人数将会导致一些麻烦。所以空白处应是针对下文中的“more than that”
提出的相反的假设，即少于一定数量的人。A项“Less people than that”（少于这些人）提出一种假设，和
下文中“more than that”相对，说明人数不宜太多，也不能太少，符合语境。故选A项。
18G【解析】根据下文“They should also prepare plenty of reusable bags to carry their “new” clothes home.”
（他们还应该准备大量的可重复使用的袋子，把他们的“新”衣服带回家。）说明去的时候应该为交换所
得的“新衣服”准备袋子。G项“Tell everyone to bring clean clothes in good condition.”（告诉每个人带来品
相完好的衣服。）说明去参加衣物交换的时候应该带完好的衣服，其中的bring和下文中carry相对，都是
为交换衣物所做的准备。下文中的also也是提示词，并且其中They指代G项的everyone。所以G项符合
语境。故选G项。
19F【解析】根据上文“Put different types of clothing on different surfaces in the room.”（把不同类型的衣服
放在房间的不同地方。）指出衣服应该归类放置。下文“Place a few mirrors around your room so people can
see how things look when they try them on.”（在房间周围放几面镜子，这样人们试穿时就能看到衣服的样
子。）提到了放置镜子的意义。由此可见，本段讲述的是房间里的一些具体的做法，所以空白处一样要提
出人们在房间里要做什么。F项“Have everyone put their clothes in the right spots.（让每个人的衣服都放在
相应的位置上。）”说明每个人应该按照不同类型把衣服摆放在相应的位置，符合语境。故选F项。
20D【解析】上文“Set a starting time. Maybe you say “go,” or turn on a certain song, or whatever.”（设置开始
时间。也许你说“开始”，或者打开一首歌，或者无论什么。）打开音乐或者无论什么，意味聚会开始。
下文“And don't forget to put out some cookies and fruits. Remember, it's a party!”（别忘了拿出一些饼干和水
果。记住，这是个派对！）讲到了聚会上应该提供一些派对该有的服务。因而，空白处应是承接上文，讲
述聚会期间要保持应有的内容。D项“Just keep music playing throughout.”（要始终播放音乐。）承上启
下，说明在派对上要有音乐，与前文形成意义上的一致，符合题意，故选D项。2021年全国高考乙卷英语试题
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
According to Jessica Hagy, author of How to Be Interesting, it’s not difficult to make yourself interesting at a
dinner party.
___36___, if you’re out of your comfort zone or if you’re wandering into somebody’s house for the first time.
So the main thing is just to show up and be adventurous, trying different foods and talking to strangers.
People love to talk about themselves. If you can start the conversation with a question other than “What do
you do for a living?”, you’ll be able to get a lot more interesting conversation out of whomever it is you’re talking
to. ___37___, it can bring in “I have this old, broken-down vehicle” or “I rode the bus with these crazy people who
were laughing at silly jokes in the back.” It just opens up conversation.
___38___? If you can’t take their wine away, you should certainly try to take away their soapbox （讲台）.
If you’re the host, you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something and just remove them from the
situation.___39___.
And what about that other dinner-party killer: awkward silence? If you’re faced with an awkward silence at a
dinner party, the only thing that always gets everyone talking again is to give the host a compliment（赞扬）.
___40___. Just quickly turn around and say, “This cake is extremely delicious and you have to tell me all about it.”
So being interesting at a dinner party isn’t that hard.
A. How do you know the host
B. The first step is to go exploring
C. If you ask the question “How did you get here?”
D. Be prepared to have awkward conversations with strangers
E. Or turn the conversation into a topic where they have little to say
F. What about that person who had too much to drink or won’t stop talking
G. He or she is the person who is feeling the weight of that awkwardness the most
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在晚宴上让自己表现得有趣的一些方法。
36B【解析】根据上文“it’s not difficult to make yourself interesting at a dinner party (在晚宴上让自己变得有
趣并不难)”可知，下文应主要讲述如何在晚宴上让自己变得有趣。下文“So the main thing is just to show up
and be adventurous, trying different foods and talking to strangers. (所以最主要的事情就是去尝试，去冒险，尝
试不同的食物，和陌生人交谈)”可推知，本段主要说明想在晚宴上让自己变得有趣，就要勇于冒险，勇于
探索。由此可知，B项“The first step is to go exploring(第一步是去探索)”承上启下，符合题意。故选B
项。
37C【解析】根据下文“it can bring in “I have this old, broken-down vehicle” or “I rode the bus with these crazy
people who were laughing at silly jokes in the back.” It just opens up conversation. (它可以带入“我有这辆破旧
的车”或“我和那些在后面嘲笑愚蠢笑话的疯子一起乘坐公共汽车。”它只是打开了对话)”可知，设空处
应该是提了一个不太好的问题，只是开始交流，但并不会给人留下有趣的印象。由此可知，C项“If you
ask the question “How did you get here?”(如果你问“你是怎么到这里来的？”这个问题)”能够承接下文，符
合题意。故选C项。38F【解析】根据下文“If you can’t take their wine away, you should certainly try to take
away their soapbox. If you’re the host, you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something and just removethem from the situation. (如果你不能拿走他们的酒，你当然应该让他们离开讲话的地方。如果你是主人，你
可以让他们到厨房帮你做点什么，只是为了让他们摆脱那种情景)”可知，此处指出了一个问题的解决办
法。由此推知，设空处提到了一个棘手的问题。F项“What about the person who has had too much to drink
or won’t stop talking(喝太多酒或一直说个不停的人怎么办)”正是提出的问题，引出下文的解决办法，符合
题意。故选F项。
39E【解析】根据上文“If you can’t take their wine away, you should certainly try to take away their soapbox (讲
台). If you’re the host, you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something and just remove them from the
situation. (如果你不能拿走他们的酒，你当然应该让他们离开讲话的地方。如果你是主人，你可以让他们到
厨房帮你做点什么，只是为了让他们摆脱那种情景)”可知，本段主要是为解决“喝太多酒或一直说个不
停”这个问题提供方法。由此可知，E项“Or turn the conversation into a topic where they have little to say(或
者把谈话变成他们没什么可说的话题)”是提出的另一个解决办法，承接上文，符合题意。故选E项。
40G【解析】根据上文“If you’re faced with an awkward silence at a dinner party, the only thing that always gets
everyone talking again is to give the host a compliment.(如果你在晚宴上遭遇了尴尬的沉默，唯一能让大家再
次交谈的方法就是赞美主人)”可知，此处指出赞美主人可以缓解尴尬的沉默，设空处承上启下，下文
“This cake is extremely delicious and you have to tell me all about it.(这蛋糕特别好吃，你得告诉我它的一切)”
对主人进行了赞美。由此可知，宴会上出现尴尬的沉默时，最尴尬的就是主人，所以需要赞美主人来缓解
尴尬。G项“He or she is the person who is feeling the weight of that awkwardness the most(他或她是最能感受
到那种尴尬的人)”承上启下，符合题意。故选G项

第二节
My husband and I just spent a week in Paris.____36____So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically
expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard. It was so tiny that we had to leave our suitcases in the
hallway.
The place wasn’t entirely authentic, though. Unlike a normal Parisian apartment, the plumbing ( 水 管 )
worked. ____37____Our building even had a tiny lift with a female voice that said, “Ouverture des portes,” in
perfect French. That is the only French phrase I mastered, and it’s a shame I don’t have much use for it.
Parisians are different from you and me. They never look lazy or untidy. As someone noted in this paper acouple of weeks ago, they eat great food and never gain weight. ____38____ French strawberries do not taste like
cardboard. Instead, they explode in your mouth like little flavor bombs.
____39____ On our first morning in Paris, I went around the corner to the food market to pick up some
groceries. I bought a handful of perfectly ripe small strawberries and a little sweet melon. My husband and I agreed
they were the best fruit we had ever eaten. But they cost $18!
In France, quality of life is much more important than efficiency.
You can tell this by cafés life. French cafés are always crowded.____40____When do these people work? The
French take their 35-hour workweek seriously — so seriously that some labor unions recently struck a deal with a
group of companies limiting the number of hours that independent contractors can be on call.
A. Not all the customers are tourists.
B. The quality of life in France is equally excellent.
C. There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed.
D. The amazing food is mainly consumed by local farmers.
E. That’s not the only reason the French eat less than we do.
F. Our aim was to see if we could live, in some way, like real Parisians.
G. The food is so delicious that you don’t need much of it to make you happy.

的目标是看看我们是否在某种程度上可以活的像巴黎人。)”可知，作者要在巴黎住下来，所以需要租房
子，两句构成因果关系。故选F项。
37C【解析】上文“The place wasn’t entirely authentic, though.(不过，这个地方并不是地道的法国住房)”是段
落的中心句，说明第二段主要内容是讲解公寓的情况。下文提到了楼宇和电梯的情况。C项“There was a
nice kitchen and a comfortable bed.(有一个漂亮的厨房和一张舒适的床)”提到了厨房和床，这些都属于公寓的

上下文结合可知，因为法国的食物质量很高，所以不用吃很多就能很满足，同时吃的少也就不会发胖了。
G项“The food is so delicious that you don’t need much of it to make you happy. (食物是如此美味，你不需要
吃太多就能使你快乐)”符合语境要求。故选G项。
39E【解析】第三段主要描述了作者夫妻去了采购了食物，买了草莓。下文“My husband and I agreed they
were the best fruit we had ever eaten. But they cost $18!(我丈夫和我都认为这是我们吃过的最好的水果。但它们要18美元!)”说明法国的水果好吃但是也很贵。选项E“That's not the only reason the French eat less than we

2021年高考浙江卷
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项
You've got mail…and it's a postcard
Paulo Magalhaes, a 34-year-old Portuguese computer engineer, loves to open his mailbox and find a brightly
colored picture of Rome's Colosseum. Or Africa's Victoria Falls. Or China's Great Wall. ___11___
"I often send postcards to family and friends." he says to China Daily, "but you can imagine that after a while,
you never receive as many as you send, and you realize that not everyone is into it ___12___ ” Seeking other like-
minded souls, however, Paulo started looking in a somewhat unlikely place: online. Many would say the Internet is
a place for people who have given up on the traditional postal service, but Paulo's hunch（直觉）paid off.
Today his hobby has developed into the website postcrossing.com, a social network that has grown to 575,217
registered users in 214 countries and regions since he started it 10 years ago. ___13___ Running the website has
almost turned into a full-time job.
Language is certainly a harrier for many people. For postcrossing to work worldwide, a common
communication language is needed so that everyone can understand each other. As cool as it may be to receive a
postcard written in Chinese, the concept doesn't work if one doesn't understand it. ___14___ So a common
language is required and in postcrossing that's English since it's widely spoken.
"Many people in China have limited exposure to English. ___15___ That said, we know of many postcrossing
members, including Chinese, who have actually improved their English skills through their use of postcrossing,"
Paulo says.
A. And that's totally fine
B. That makes it extra hard to learn and practice it
C. He likes to think of sending postcards as a family-friendly hobbyD. Many love to make a connection with someone from across the world.
E. On August 5, the number of postcards exchanged by members topped 31 million.
F. Similarly, if you speak only Chinese, receiving a card in Swedish takes part of the fun away.
G. In short, he loves postcards, and the excitement of getting a hand-written note from someone far away.
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了Paulo Magalhaes创建postcrossing.com的过程及其现状。Paulo
Magalhaes非常喜欢明信片但是苦于身边没有与他志趣相投的人，于是他开始从网上寻求志同道合的人，
因而创立了postcrossing.com。随着公司在全球不断壮大，语言成为沟通的主要障碍，后来英语被选为共同
语言方便大家交流。
11G【解析】上文“Paulo Magalhaes, a 34-year-old Portuguese computer engineer, loves to open his mailbox and
find a brightly colored image of Rome's Colosseum. Or Africa's Victoria Falls. Or China’s Great Wall.( 34 岁的葡
萄牙电脑工程师Paulo Magalhaes喜欢打开他的邮箱，然后发现一个色彩鲜艳的罗马斗牛场图像。或者非洲
的维多利亚瀑布。或者是中国的长城)”介绍了Paulo喜欢明信片的个人爱好。下文“... and you realize that
not everyone is into it.”说明他身边缺少与他志趣相投的人。选项 G“In short, he loves postcards, and the
excitement of getting a scribbled note from someone far away.(简而言之，他喜欢明信片，也喜欢收到远方某人
潦草的便条时的那种兴奋)”起到承上启下的作用，总结了上文 Paulo喜欢明信片，也引出下文关于他的喜
好得不到回应的问题。故选G项。
12A【解析】上文““I often send postcards to family and friends." he says to China Daily, “but you can imagine
that after a while, you never receive as many as you send, and you realize that not everyone is into it(“我经常给家
人和朋友寄明信片， ”他说，“但你可以想象，过一段时间，你收到的明信片不会像你寄的那么多，而
且你意识到并不是每个人都喜欢这样。”)”说明Paulo意识到身边的亲人和朋友不是都和他有相同的爱
好，因此他也很坦然接受这个事实，因此选项A“那完全没问题”符合语境。故选A项。
13E【解析】上文“Today his hobby has evolved into the website Postcrossing.com, a social network that has
grown to 575,217 registered users in 214 countries and regions since he launched it 10 years ago.(如今，他的这个
爱好已经发展成了Postcrossing.com这个社交网站。自从10年前他创建这个网站以来，已经有来自214个
国家和地区的575217名注册用户)”是在介绍目前网站的发展状况，因此符合文意的只有E选项“8月5
日，会员互赠的明信片数量达到3100万张”是在介绍该网站相关的数据。故选E项。
14F【解析】上文“As cool as it may be to receive a postcard written in Chinese, the concept doesn't work if one
doesn't understand it.(收到一张用中文写的明信片可能很酷，但如果你不理解它，这个概念就行不通)”是举
例说明他国人收到中文明信片时的问题。选项F“Similarly, if you speak only Chinese, receiving a card written
in Swedish takes part of the fun away.(同样地，如果你只会说中文，收到瑞典语的卡片也会夺走一部分乐趣)”
是举例说明中国人收到他国语言明信片时也会遇到相同的问题。两句相结合，符合结论句的语义要求，故
选F项。
15B【解析】上文“Many people in China have limited exposure to English.(许多中国人很少能接触到英语)”说
