【题型说明】
该题型的阅读材料长度为300词左右，文中有五处空白，文后有七个选项，要求考生从短文后的七个
选项中选出五个能填入文章空白处的最佳选项。该题型要求考生从整体上把握文章的逻辑结构和前后文联
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和理解长难句的能力。
文中的五处空白一般分布于各个段落的段首、段中或段尾。其选项一般分为四类:主题概句、过渡句
(反映文章结构)、细节理解句(反映上下文逻辑关系)、结论句。多余两个选项也往往从这四个方面设置，
例如题概括句或过于宽泛或以偏概全或偏离主题，过渡句不能反映文章的行文结构，节理解句与上下文脱
节等。
【命题分析】
近年来，高考“7选5”的选文以说明文居多，主要考查标题概括、主题句和过渡句等。今后，对主题
句及过渡句的考查将仍是“7选5”的考查重点。技法1. 对应词法
解题技巧：对应词分为相同词、同义词等，相同词分为形容词、副词、名词、动词等，所以在做题时，我
们应该注意这些关键词的定位。例如上下句当中都出现了money这个名词，那么我们再考查其逻辑关系和
句意是否匹配，如果匹配，则此选项正确。同义词也包括了形容词、副词、名词、动词等，那么我们在做
题时也要注意辨别这些词的词义是否为同义，如果选项和上下文中的对应词词义为同义，那么我们再考查
其逻辑关系和句意是否匹配，如果匹配，则此选项正确。

A Photographer's Experience in Iceland
I fell in love with the Arctic as it's such a mysterious and magical destination, where the photographer is
forced to slow down, to see and hear the whales breaking through the sea ice, or brave the veil (面纱) of polar
night. ______ I can just make pictures in a mere instant using my smartphone, stick it back in my pocket, and jump
right back into the experience.
A. But that hides the truth.
B. You can experience the culture here.
C. They towered over me at roughly 6 meters high.
D. It opens up a good many amazing opportunities.
E. When shooting, I have to bear tough conditions.
F. There was already no distance between me and the ice.
G. This is where the experiences are so fascinating that a big camera is just in the way.
【答案】G 根据前文“I fell in love with the Arctic as it's such a mysterious and magical destination, where the
photographer is forced to slow down, to see and hear the whales breaking through the sea ice, or brave the veil (面
纱) of polar night. ”（我爱上了北极，因为它是如此神秘和神奇的目的地，摄影师被迫放慢速度，去看和听
鲸鱼破冰的声音，或者勇敢地面对极夜的面纱。）谈到了我爱北极源于这个地方的神秘和神奇。下文“I
can just make pictures in a mere instant using my smartphone, stick it back in my pocket, and jump right back into
the experience.”（我可以用我的智能手机在一瞬间拍照，把它放回口袋里，然后立刻回到体验中。）可知，
在我体验这份神秘的时候，我会拿出手机拍照，因而空白处可以是“体验神秘的时候，需要相机。”选项
G“这里的体验是如此迷人，以至于一个大摄像机挡住了去路。”选项中“a big camera”和下文的“make
pictures in a mere instant using my smartphone”形成呼应，故选G。技法2. 代词指代法
解题技巧：在七选五这个题型中，代词出现的情况往往是两种情况，第一种情况是单词出现在空白后的句
子中，一种情况是出现在选项中，那么这两种情况都为我们解题带来了便利。如果空白处后面的句子是代
词开头，尤其是表示复数的代词，那么这个代词一般都是空白处这个句子中的名词，那么我们在选择的时
候，一定要选择带有名词的选项。然后再根据上下文语意进行核实，进行选出正确答案。

空格后说“Once there is the slightest indication that the customers are leaving their table, you will see a few
people diving for it.(一旦有顾客离开餐桌的微小迹象，你就会看到一些人去抢)”。由此可知，空格处应说很
多人会密切留意是否有桌子空出来。F选项“They will be on the watch for a table most likely to be empty.(他
们会密切注意哪张桌子很可能是空的)”能够承上启下，符合语境，故选F。
技法3. 逻辑关系法
(1). 转折关系
解题技巧：若空后一句话以转折词开头，则先看转折词所在句，然后再看选项并选择与其形成转折关系的
选项。若转折词存在于选项当中，则空与空前一句形成转折，那么先看转折词所在选项，然后看各空前一
句判断哪一句与该选项形成转折关系。

The biggest drawback for facial recognition technology in most people’s opinions is the threat to an

by law enforcement agencies. ________ It’s just not allowing the government bodies to use live facial recognitionsoftware.

【答案】B根据上文“In fact, several cities have considered or will ban real-time facial recognition observation
used by law enforcement agencies.(事实上，一些城市已经考虑或将禁止执法机构使用的实时面部识别)”和下
文“It’s just not allowing the government bodies to use live facial recognition software.(它只是不允许政府机关
使用实时面部识别软件)”可知，尽管一些城市已经考虑或将禁止使用的实时面部识别，但主要是针对执法
机构和政府机关，并不禁止其在商业中的运用，所以 B项“But sales organizations can still use it at certain
times.(但是销售组织仍然可以在特定时间使用它)”符合语境，且与上文构成转折关系。故选B项。
(2). 因果关系
解题技巧：文章语句间的组合，除了从语句间的意义关系分析外，还可借助句子之间的连接性词语来把
握。判断因果逻辑关系就是关注选项或空格前后是否存在常见的因果关系词，如：because, so, why等。

【答案】E【解析】根据前文The dictionary is actually a steadily enlarging volume.（这本词典实际上是一本不断扩大的
书。）故推测本句应介绍字典不断扩大的原因。故E选项“这是因为英语语言不断发展和变化。”符合上
下文语境，用来解释原因，故选E。
(3). 顺承关系或结构
解题技巧：利用选项及横线后的并列或递关系寻找答案。在看到表示并列或递进关系的衔接的同时，查
看横线前后的句子，一般可发现这些句子表述的意思具有同指性，甚至能发现有时句子的结构形态具有
相似性。

________ The police use the technology to uncover criminals or to find missing children or seniors. Airports
are increasingly adding facial recognition technology to security checkpoints. When people know they are being
watched, they are less likely to commit crimes. So using facial recognition technology could prevent crime.
Another advantage is that, since there is no contact required for facial recognition like there is with
fingerprinting or other security measures, facial recognition offers a quick, automatic, and seamless（不停顿的）
contact experience.
A. Today, it is widely used in various aspects of life.
B. But sales organizations can still use it at certain times.
C. It has got 20 times better at finding a match in a database.

17.【答案】G 根据下文“The police use the technology to uncover criminals or to find missing children or

they are being watched, they are less likely to commit crimes. So using facial recognition technology could prevent
crime.(警方使用这种技术来发现罪犯或寻找失踪的儿童或老人。机场安检处越来越多地采用面部识别技术。
当人们知道他们被监视时，他们就不太可能犯罪。所以使用面部识别技术可以预防犯罪)”可知，本段主要
介绍了警方和机场使用人脸识别来发现罪犯和预防犯罪，提升安全感，再结合第三段首句“Another
advantage is, (另一个优势是)”可推知，本段也是在介绍人脸识别的优势，所以 G项“One of the major
advantages of facial recognition is safety and security.(面部识别的主要优点之一是安全)”是第二段内容的概括，
同时也与第三段构成并列关系：“One of the major advantages of facial recognition is... Another advantage
is...”。故选G项。（一）

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.

___4___ 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

（2023届江苏省苏锡常镇四市高三下学期3月份教学情况调研英语试题）Fear is one of our strongestemotions. However, people with phobias(恐惧)have an extreme fear response that causes both physical and
psychological pain. In everyday life, some phobia triggers(诱因)are much easier to avoid than others. For instance,
people who suffer from a fear of bats are highly unlikely to be troubled by these creatures every day. ____46____
The good news is that there are a variety of different methods used to treat phobias. Among the most popular
are cognitive behavioral therapy(疗法), exposure therapy, and virtual reality therapy.
*Cognitive behavioral therapy(CBT)
____47____ It is thought that unreasonable anxiety is caused by a patient’s negative interpretation of events,
rather than the events themselves. CBT is a talking therapy that helps patients assess their reactions to situations,
replacing the worry cycle with more useful or realistic thoughts.
*Exposure therapy
The aim of exposure therapy is to gradually desensitize(使脱敏)the patients to the source of their phobia.
____48____ A person who fears spiders might place thinking about a spider at the bottom of the list, and having a
spider move along his arm at the top. With the help of a psychologist, the patient systematically works their way
through the list, using relaxation techniques until they are comfortable with each stage.
*Virtual Reality therapy
Exposure therapy isn’t a usable option for all phobias. ____49____ Advancements in virtual reality systems
mean that patients can now face their fears through a headset rather than in the real world. ____50____ In the case
of people with a phobia of flying, they can take a course of sessions in which they board a virtual plane and
experience announcements, take-off and landing without having to buy a plane ticket each week.
A．Luckily, modern technology offers an alternative.
B．The patient ranks situations from least to most terrifying.
C．Instead, our brains can be retrained to overcome a phobia.
D．The aim of CBT is to change how we think about certain situations.
E．Someone suffering from a social phobia, however, will struggle to lead a normal life.
F．This enables patients to face their phobias, while knowing they are in no physical danger.
G．CBT is as effective as medication in treating many anxiety disorders.
