【2021全国甲卷七选五】
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. …
●____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….
●Set a starting time. …
A. Less people than that
B. Hold a clothing swap
C. If two people are competing
D. 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
【18题详解】
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。
【 标题类题型思路点拨 】
以以上例题为例：
1. 判断篇章结构
整体观察篇章，会发现其结构式典型的总分结构，第一段总结，后面几段都是分类讲解。
You keep hearing about recycling, right? But it doesn't end with bottles, cans, and paper. …自问自答形式引
入话题。
2. 判断空格类型和特点
(1) 空格前有原点。根据前后段落的原点，可以判断此类题型是标题类。
(2)判断标题类型。根据前后段落的原点：Invite 5—10 people so you have a nice selection.和Put different
types of clothing on different surfaces in the room.会发现两个特点：a. 动词原形开头
b. 长短不一
2. 根据空格类型和特点，寻找对应的答案
(1) 动词原形开头的答案是B, E, F, G四个选项。
(2) 选项确定关键词：
B. Hold a clothing swap
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
3. 根据空格后内容关键词确定答案
空格后内容关键词：They should also prepare plenty of reusable bags to carry their "new" clothes home.
观察后面的句子，后句开头是指代词“ the y ”， 那说明标题应该有 the y 的具体指代，这样排除 B, E 选
项，在根据 后面 als o 和 carr y 一词，同义应该是 brin g 。故确定答案 G 。
4.验证答案
把G选项带入，看看意思和逻辑是否通顺。通顺即准确答案。告诉大家把干净的衣服完好地带来，他
们还应该准备大量可重复使用的袋子，把“新”衣服带回家。
意思和逻辑合情合理，即准确答案。

识别七选五题型特征一：半句话类选项
【典例】
【2018全国卷I七选五】
Color is fundamental in home design—something you’ll always have in every room. A grasp of how
to manage color in your spaces is one of the first steps to creating rooms you’ll love to live in. Do you
want a room that’s full of life? Professional? Or are you just looking for a place to relax after a long
day? 3 6 , color is the key to making a room feel the way you want it to feel.
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
【答案与解析】
36. B 上文提到，Do you want a room that’s full of life? Professional? Or are you just looking for
a place to relax after a long day? 你想要一间充满活力的房间吗？职业化的？还是在寻找一处忙碌了一整
天后放松的地方？可知，接下来将是对上文的总结，无论你找什么样的房间，颜色是关键。且选项 B中的
looking for和上文的want和looking for相呼应。
【 半句话类题型思路点拨 】
以以上例题为例：
1. 判断是半句话类型
根据空格后面的逗号，可以判断是半句话类型的题型。
2. 判断选项中哪些是半句话
半句话就不是一个句子，它可以是从句，非谓语短语，介词短语的结构。所以选项中只有 A,B,C是半
句话类，这样可以确定36空格答案就在A,B,C三个选项中。
A. While all of them are useful（时间状语从句）
B. Whatever you’re looking for （让步状语从句）
C. If you’re experimenting with a color（条件状语从句）
3. 根据空格前后确定答案
空格前后Do you want a room that’s full of life? Professional? Or are you just looking for a place
to relax after a long day? 3 6 , color is the key to making a room feel the way you want it to feel.
A 选项中them和空格前面的三个问句不相符合，并且与前面的问句a place不符合，排除。color is the
key to making a room和B选项很吻合，无论你想要什么， 颜色都是最重要的。C选项中很明显与后半句
没办法衔接。故选B
4. 验证答案
把B选项带入，看看前后是否通顺，符合逻辑。验证答案是很重要的一步，它很容易能检测出来所选答案是否准确。

【答案与解析】
38. F 38题的上一句说的是，晨练有利于新陈代谢，下一句说的是晨练能帮助消耗卡路里，因此F句
“锻炼后，这一天里你将继续消耗卡路里”符合逻辑，因此选F。
【 词汇重复思路点拨 】
以以上例题为例：
● Your metabolism (新陈代谢) gets a head start. 3 8 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.
H. After you exercise, you continue to burn calories throughout the day.
词汇对应：1. calorie (卡路里)对应calories
2. in the mornings和for the whole day 对应throughout the day

【答案与解析】
39. C 从本段的in these places一直到此空前，作者描述了接近大自然的患者康复更快，再结合此空后“这
给了我们平和宁静”可知，此处应为总结句，描述大自然的作用，因此选C。
【 指代重复思路点拨 】
以以上例题为例：
Greenery is good for us. Hospital patients who see tree branches out their window are likely to
recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead. 39 It gives us a great
feeling of peace.
思路步骤一：
根据空格后it和us 可以确定空格应该是单数可数名词或不可数名词为主语，后应该是和我们有关。那
么可以锁定选项A和CA. Fresh air cleans our lungs.

F. Everyone has taken a not-so-great class at one time or another.
G. Ask questions, but make sure they are good, thoughtful questions.
【答案与解析】
39. C 根据上一句if you are in need of … the professor 可知，如果你想延长截止日期，简明地向教授说
明情况即可。通过以上推断，如果想了解更多信息，他们会问你，即选项C符合语境。
【 句型重复思路点拨 】
以以上例题为例：
If you are in need of a deadline extension, simply explain the situation to the professor. 3 9
思路步骤一：
根据空格前的句型，if+祈使句。看选项，C正好也是此句型。C. If more information is needed, they will ask.
思路步骤二：
将选项C带入验证，可知逻辑和意思表达正好衔接，所以是正确选项。
技巧四：问句回答
【典例】
【2019全国卷I七选五】

应填入一个一般疑问句，即“新鲜空气果真如妈妈总说的那样好吗？”
【 问句回答思路点拨 】
以以上例题为例：
We all grew up hearing people tell us to ＂go out and get some fresh air＂ . 36 According
to recent studies, the answer is a big YES, if the air quality in your camping area is good.
思路步骤一：
根据空格后关键词，the answer is a big YES，可知，空格处用填一般疑问句。疑问句选项B,E,只有
E是一般疑问句。
B. So what are you waiting for?
E. But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said?思路步骤二：
将选项E带入验证，可知逻辑和意思表达正好衔接，所以是正确选项。
技巧五：逻辑关系
【典例】
【2016全国卷III七选五】
Everyone knows that fish is good for health. 3 6 But it seems that many people don’t cook fish at home.
Americans eat only about fifteen pounds of fish per person per year, but we eat twice as much fish in restaurants as
at home. Buying, storing, and cooking fish isn’t difficult. …
A. Do not buy it.
B. The easiest is to steam it.
C. This is how you can do it.
D. It just requires a little knowledge.
E. The fish will go bad within hours.
F. When buying fish, you should first smell it.
G. The fats in fish are thought to help prevent heart disease.
【答案与解析】
G 第一句“Everyone knows that fish is good for health.”是总写， But是转折，说明前面一句是对第一
句的解释，G项“鱼中的脂肪有助于预防心脏病”符合语境。故选G。
【 逻辑关系思路点拨 】
逻辑关系包括：并列，递进，因果，转折等等。
以以上例题为例：
Everyone knows that fish is good for health. 3 6 But it seems that many people don’t cook fish at home.
思路步骤一：
根据空格后转折词but，many people don’t cook fish at home，可知，空格处应该需要填写鱼的好处，或
者家里需要做鱼。可知只有B和G合适。
B. The easiest is to steam it.
G. The fats in fish are thought to help prevent heart disease.思路步骤二：
将选项B和G带入验证，可知逻辑和意思表达其实都是可以的，这时就要考虑到是否有其他选项更适
合B或G。
思路步骤三：
3 8 Fresh fish should smell sweet: you should feel that you’re standing at the ocean’s edge. Any fishy or
strong smell means the fish isn’t fresh. 3 9 When you have bought a fish and arrive home, you’d better store the
fish in the refrigerator if you don’t cook it immediately, but fresh fish should be stored in your fridge for only a day
or two. Frozen fish isn’t as tasty as the fresh one.
There are many common methods used to cook fish. 4 0 First, clean it and season it with your
choice of spices (调料). Put the whole fish on a plate and steam it in a steam pot for 8 to 10 minutes
if it weighs about one pound. (A larger one will take more time.) Then, it’s ready to serve.
这时会发现，40空更适合选项B
故36题选G。
1.【2021新高考全国I卷七选五】
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.
【答案】36. F 37. C 38. G 39. E 40. A
【解析】
【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。
【36题详解】
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。
【37题详解】
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
【38题详解】
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 sodelicious 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。
【39题详解】
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 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。
【40题详解】
根据上文“In France, quality of life is much more important than efficiency (效率). You can tell this by cafés life.
French cafés are always crowded. (在法国生活质量比效率更重要。这一点你能从咖啡馆生活看出来。法国的
咖啡厅总是很拥挤)”可知，上文说明了法国人对待工作不是很积极且咖啡厅里顾客很多。下文“When do
these people work?(这些人什么时候工作？)”是一个问句，说明本句属于过渡句，承接上文说明咖啡厅里的
造成拥挤的客人的情况，A选项中有“customer”符合咖啡馆的情境设定，同时讲述了不是所有的客人都是
游客，那么意味着大部分人都是当地人，符合下文的提问。故选A项。
2.【2021全国甲卷七选五】
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

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 bethat 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

C. If two people are competing
D. 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
【答案】16. B 17. A 18. G 19. F 20. D
【解析】
【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。
【16题详解】
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。
【17题详解】
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。
【18题详解】
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。
【19题详解】
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。
【20题详解】
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。
3.【2021浙江卷6月七选五】
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. 31
"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 32
” 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. 33 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. 34 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. 35 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 hobby
D. 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.
答案与解析：
31.G 空格处为本段结尾句，前文出现了描述Paulo喜欢世界各地明信片的内容，即“Or Africa'sVictoria
Falls. Or China 's Great Wal.”，由此可知他喜欢各种明信片。设空处为总结性语言，G选项中的信息“in
short”符合逻辑顺序，“he loves postcards”承接上文题意。故选G项。
32.A 空格前提到Paulo邮寄明信片的“遭遇”，空格后提到“Seeking other like-minded souls,However,Paulo
started looking in a somewhat unlikely place: online”，由此可知空格处承上启下，表示遇到的问题“完全不
成问题”,说明Paulo没有放弃自己的爱好，而是采取了网络方式。故选A。
33.E 根据空格前的“a sociall network that has grown to 575,217 registered users in 2 14 countriesand regions
since he started it 10 year ago”可知，Paulo创办的这家社交网站注册人数一直在增长，选项 E中的“On

4.【2021浙江卷1月七选五】
You run into the grocery store to pick up one bottle of water. You get what you need, head to the front, and
choose the line that looks fastest.
You chose wrong. People who you swear got in other lines long after you are already checked out and off to the
parking lot. 31
It turns out, it’s just math working against you; chances are, the other line really is faster.
Grocery stores try to have enough employees at checkout to get all their customers through with minimum
delay. 32 Any small interruption — a price check, a chatty customer — can have downstream effects,
holding up an entire line.
If there are three lines in the store, delays will happen randomly at different registers. Think about the
probability: 33 So it’s not just in your mind: Another line probably is moving faster.
Researchers have a good way to deal with this problem. Make all customers stand in one long, snaking line —
called a serpentine line — and serve each person at the front with the next available register. 34 This is what
they do at most banks and fast-food restaurants. With a serpentine line, a long delay at one register won’t unfairly
punish the people who lined up behind it. Instead, it will slow down everyone a little bit but speed up checkout
overall.
35 It takes many registers to keep one line moving quickly, and some stores can’t afford the space or
manpower. So wherever your next wait may be: Good luck.
A. Why does this always seem to happen to you?
B. So why don’t most places encourage serpentine lines?
C. Some of them may have stood in a queue for almost an hour.
D. The chances of your line being the fastest are only one in three.
E. How high is the probability that you are in the fastest waiting line?
F. With three registers, this method is much faster than the traditional approach.
G. But sometimes, as on a Sunday afternoon, the system gets particularly busy.
答案与解析
31. A 根据上文你明明选了看上去最快的队伍，但是那些站在其他队伍中远远在你之后的人都结账离开了，
和下文分析问题的原因是概率的问题，推断此空抛出问题：为什么这种事总是发生在你身上？以引起共鸣，转入主题。
32. G 上文讲超市竭力提供更多的收银员加速结账，下文讲任何一个小的打扰都会让整个队伍变慢，这是
对选项G的具体描述。
33. D 根据上下文及空前的Think about the probability: 此空讲的是你选择最快的队伍的几率。
34. F 根据上文研究人员发现了一种好的排队方式，和下文大多数银行和快餐店都采取这种方式，推断此
空讲的是这种好的排队方式的优点。
35. B 上文讲的是好的排队方式，再根据下文，很多商店没有足够的空间和人力实行a serpentine line，还
有作者文末给出的建议是“祝好运”，推断此空设问：为什么绝大多数地方并没有实行serpentine lines呢？

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

【答案】36. B 37. C 38. F 39. E 40. G
【解析】
【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。
【36题详解】
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。
【37题详解】
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。
【38题详解】
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 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，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。

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。
【40题详解】
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

and our failures. 38 You will make mistakes, time and time again. Rather than getting caught up in how you
could have done better, why not offer yourself a compassionate (有同情心) response? ＂That didn’t go as planned.
But, I tried my best.＂

before weakness. List all of your accomplishments and achievements. You have a job, earned your degree, and you
got out of bed today. 3 9
●Now that you’ve listed your strengths, list your imperfections. Turn the page in your journal. Put into words
why you feel unworthy, why you don’t feel good enough. Now, read these words back to yourself. 4 0 Turn to

no planned activities like games at a housewarming party. The host or hostess of the party will, however, probably

9.【2020新高考全国I卷七选五】
Some individuals are born with a gift for public speaking. 16 Do you want to be a good public speaker?
Here are some principles you must master.
People want to listen to someone who is interesting, relaxed and comfortable. Too often, when you stand up to
give a speech, you focus on the “public” at the expense of the “speaking.” 17 Focus on the speaking. Talkdirectly to your audience, be yourself and make a connection.
Even the most successful public speaker will make mistakes. Yet, the only one who cares about any mistake is
the one who is speaking. People's attention wanders constantly. In fact, most people only absorb about 20 percent of
a speaker's message. So, don't stop speaking when you make a mistake unless it's a truly serious one. 18
Your goal is not to be a perfect public speaker. 19 And like everything else in life, that takes practice.
Remember, even world champion athletes practice their skills on a consistent basis.
20 It's rare to hear someone say, “I wish that speaker had spoken longer.” On the other hand, you probably
can't count the times that you've thought, “I'm glad that talk is over. It seemed to go on forever!” So surprise your
audience. Always make your presentation just a bit shorter than anticipated. It's better to leave your listeners wishing
for more than shifting restlessly in their seats waiting for your speech finally to end.
A. Do the opposite.
B. You want to be an effective public speaker.
C. You don't need to apologize for a minor slip.
D. When it comes to public speaking, less is usually more.
E. The objective of most speeches is to benefit the audience.
F. Take the fear out of public speaking by focusing on your listeners.
G However, the majority of people are effective speakers because they train to be.
【答案】16. G 17. A 18. C 19. B 20. D
【解析】
本文是说明文。文章介绍了成为好的演讲者需要掌握的一些原则。
【16题详解】
本文主题是介绍成为好的演讲者要掌握的一些原则。上句提到有些人生来就有演讲的天赋。G项:然而，大
多数人之所以能成为有影响的演讲者，是因为他们受过训练。与上句转折，引出本文主题--演讲者要训练。
故选G。
【17题详解】
下句Focus on the speaking.是本段主题，建议演讲者把注意力集中在演讲上。上句提到一种常见现象，当站
起来发表演讲时，演讲者往往会把注意力放在”公众”上，而不是”演讲”上。这是错误的做法，A项Do
the opposite.承上启下，说明了上句做法的错误，引出了下句正确的做法。故选A。
【18题详解】本段提到即使成功的演讲者也会犯错误，观众不会太在意你的错误。上句建议当出错时不要停止演讲，除
非是非常严重的错误。C项:你不需要为一个小失误道歉。与上句承接，是对待演讲出错的方法。故选C。
【19题详解】
本段是说明练习的重要性。上句提到你的目标不是成为一个完美的演说家，下句应该说明目标是什么。B.
You want to be an effective public speaker.与上句衔接，是我们演讲的真正目的。故选B。
【20题详解】
下文提到观众并不是认为演讲越长越好，根据 Always make your presentation just a bit shorter than
anticipated.可知，作者建议让演讲比预期的短一点，给观众更多的期待胜过让他们坐立不安地等待演讲结
束。D项:公开演讲时，通常少就是多。说明了演讲时，多和少的辩证关系。故选D。

every evening. 32 I started reading books on my own before age 5 and my mother took me to the public
library once a week to borrow several books. I quickly graduated from typical children’s books to ones with fewer
pictures and longer chapters. Reading opened new worlds to me. 3 3
My mother also encouraged me to make what I wanted. I tried making toy cars with cardboard boxes and
constructing buildings from leftover cardboard and bits of wood my father gave me. When my mother saw my
creations, she told me how creative my designs were. 34 I learned a lot about how to extend the life of
objects and transform them into something new and useful. It was a trait（特点） others found helpful, and I soon

11.【2020浙江卷1月七选五】
Let’s take a minute to think about the water we use. The human body is 60% water and we need to drink lots
of water to be healthy. When we are thirsty we just go to the kitchen and fill a glass with clean water.
31 For example, farmers, who produce the food we eat, use water to make the plants grow. When we
turn on a light or switch on a TV or a computer we use energy and we need water to produce this energy.
The truth is that we are lucky enough to have clean water whenever we want, but this is not the case for many
people around the world. 32 That’s around one in 10 people in the world. If we drink dirty water, we can catch
diseases from the bacteria and become ill. Every year over 500,000 children die from diarrhoea (腹泻) from dirty
water. That’s around 1,400 children every day! Also, in some countries children walk many kilometres every day to
get water. 33 Therefore, they don’t have time to learn how to read or write and don’t get an education.
34 On this day every year, countries around the world hold events to educate people about the problems of
dirty water and that clean water is something that everyone should have around the world. At one school in the UK,
children between the ages of 10 and 15 walk 6km with six litres of water. 35 People give them money to do this
and all the money helps get clean water to as many people as possible around the world.
A. We use water indirectly too.
B. Every system in our body depends on water to function.
C. It is to inspire people to learn more about water-related problems.
D. If children walk many hours a day to get water, they can’t go to school.
E. Did you know that around 750 million people do not have clean water to drink?
F. In 1993 the United Nations decided that March 22nd is the World Day for Water.
G. In this way, they know how it feels to walk a long distance carrying heavy bottles.
答案与解析
31. A 此空作为段首句，起承上启下的作用。第一段讲了人和水的直接关系，第二段讲的是水在生活中的用
途，是人和水之间的间接关系。故选A。32. E 根据空前提到的“并不是全世界很多人都能喝到干净的水”，空后一句提到的“这大概是世界十分之
一的人口”，可知，前面一句应该涉及人口数量，故选E。
33. D 空前一句提到“在一些国家，孩子们要步行很远才能取到水”和空后“因此，他们没有时间学习读书
写字，不能接受教育”，可知此空承上启下，说明孩子们不能上学的原因是每天要花很多时间去取水。
34. F 由空后的this day可知选F。
35. G 空前提到“在英国的一所学校，10到15岁的孩子们带着6升水步行6公里”，可知这是在效仿取水
困难地区的孩子们，人们以这种方式让孩子们体会去很远的地方取水的艰难，让孩子们知道洁净水的珍
贵。

In an online class, developing healthy patterns of communication with professors is very important.
36 While I have only listed two of each, these are obviously many other situations that can arise.
Students should be able to extend the logic（逻辑）of each to their particular circumstance.
Do's
• 37 Questions about subject content are generally welcomed. Before asking questions about
the course design, read the syllabus（教学大纲）and learning management system information to be sure
the answer isn't hiding in plain sight.
• Participate in discussion forums（论坛）, blogs and other open-ended forums for dialogue. 38
Be sure to stay on topic and not offer irrelevant information. Make a point, and make it safe for others to do
the same.
Don'ts
• Don't share personal information or stories. Professors are not trained nurses, financial aid experts
or your best friends. If you are in need of a deadline extension, simply explain the situation to the
professor. 3 9
• Don't openly express annoyance at a professor or class. 40 When a student attacks a professor on
the social media, the language used actually says more about the student. If there is truly a concern about a professor's
professionalism or ability, be sure to use online course evaluations to calmly offer your comments.
A. That's what they are for.
B. Turn to an online instructor for help.
C. If more information is needed, they will ask.D. Remember that online professors get a lot of emails.
E. Below are some common do’s and don’ ts for online learners.
F. Everyone has taken a not-so-great class at one time or another.
G. Ask questions, but make sure they are good, thoughtful questions.
答案与解析
36. E 第一段第一句话，In an online class, developing healthy patterns of communication with professors is very
important. 提到在在线课堂中，与教授形成良好的交流是至关重要的。第二至五段，则详细介绍了do’s 和
don’ts的内容。由此可见，选项E符合语境。
37. G 根据空格后的Questions about subject content are generally welcomed. 本段应与questions这一关键词
有关以及根据asking questions等信息可知，选项中，只有G项符合。
38. A 根据本段第一句话，Participate in discussion forums, blogs and other open-ended forums for dialogue 可
知，要参加研讨论坛，加入博客讨论以及其他开放式的对话论坛，因为这些讨论形式就是让学生参与的。
选项A符合语境。
39. C 根据上一句if you are in need of … the professor 可知，如果你想延长截止日期，简明地向教授说
明情况即可。通过以上推断，如果想了解更多信息，他们会问你，即选项C符合语境。
40. F 该空前一句提到，不要公开表达对教授或者班级的不满。后文说如果教授的专业水平或能力确实令
人担忧，一定要使用在线课程评估来冷静地发表你的意见。由此推断，选项F符合文意。
13.【2017全国卷III七选五】
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 wake-up lies in resetting your body clock. 3 6 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 re-arranging your morning
activities. If you want time to have breakfast with your family, save some time the night before by setting out clothes,
shoes, and bags. 3 8 That’s a quarter-hour 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 Saturdaycould sound wonderful. But compensating on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness the following week,
a recent study found. 3 9
●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. 4 0 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 wake-up time, no matter the day.
G. Reconsider the 15 minutes you spend in line at the cafe to get coffee.
【答案解析】
36. C 文章首先提出“很多人早上起床困难”这个问题，并表明作者的观点“早起的关键是调整生物钟”。
36题应该是一个可以统领下文的句子，下文的内容主要涉及更好地规划睡眠。因此，选项C符合逻辑。
37. B 本题位于所在段落的段首，在分段说明一个话题的行文中，通常使用一个主旨大意句点出本段内容。
此处，考生可以根据后面句子的内容做出判断，后句说为了达到相应的变化，要想清楚为什么这个变化很
重要，也就是找到合适的动机。选项B符合文意。
38. G 本题的下句说“如果我们买一个带有计时器的咖啡壶，早上就可以多睡一刻钟”，关键信息有“咖
啡”，“一刻钟”等。选项G句中有“15 minutes”，“coffee”与之呼应，形成完整的语义关系。选项G
符合逻辑。
39. F 本段主要说明保持周末睡眠时间表的重要性。如果周五没有休息好，希望在周六补偿。但研究发现
这样做会影响下一周的睡眠状况。39题作为本段的尾句，提醒人们无论周几，都要坚持既定的作息时间。
选项F符合逻辑。
40. E 40题的上句说“尝试新的作息方法一周后，要记得查看记录”，选项 E句说“如果你采取的步骤奏
效，要保持”和后一句说“如果这样做不适合，就要采取另一种方式”，说明了查看记录后针对不同情况
应该怎么做。选项E符合逻辑。
14.【2015全国卷II七选五】Training for a marathon requires careful preparation and steady, gradual increases in the length of the runs. 36
, buy the best-fitting running shoes you can find. No one can say which brand will work best for you or feel best on your
feet, so you have to rely on your experience and on the feel of each pair as you shop. When you have found shoes
that seem right, walk in them for a few days to double-check the fit. 37 . As always, you should stretch(伸展)
at least ten minutes before each run to prevent injuries.
During the first week, do not think about distance, but run five minutes longer each day. 38 , it is wise to
take a day off to rest. But during the next week, set a goal of at least a mile and a half per run. 39 . After two
weeks, start timing yourself. 40 . Depending on the kind of race you plan to enter, you can set up a timetable
for the remaining weeks before the race.
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
【答案】
36. C
37. E
38. A
39. D
40. G
【解析】
36. C 考查对上下文的理解。上文提到跑马拉松，下文说买一双合脚的鞋子。所以这里应该是Before you
begin your training训练前的准备工作。故选C。
37. E考查对上下文的理解。上文提到：穿着鞋走走路以确保合适，下文提到跑。所以这里应该说If they
still feel good, you can begin running in them如果穿着的感觉很好，就可以跑了。故选E。
38. A考查对上下文的理解。上文提到练习的第一周怎么做，下文提到第二周，所以这里应该是After six
days，练习一周后稍做休息，一周是6天，故选A。
39. D考查对上下文的理解。这里在讨论逐渐加长跑步的距离，每天增加一定的距离才合理，故选DWith each day, increase the distance by a half mile。
40. G考查对上下文的理解。最后是提速。在规定的距离内如何训练自己跑得快。这样才能参加比赛。
故选G Now you are ready out a goal of improving distance and time。

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. 3 6 Working out in the morning provides additional benefits beyond being
physically fit.
● Your productivity is improved. Exercising makes you more awake and ready to handle whatever is ahead of
you for the day. 3 7
● Your metabolism (新陈代谢) gets a head start. 3 8 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.
● 3 9 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.
● 4 0 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.
There are a lot of benefits to working out, especially in the mornings. Set your alarm clock an hour early and
push yourself to work out! You will feel energized all day long.
I. You will stick to your diet.
J. Your quality of sleep improves.
K. You prefer healthy food to fast food.
L. There is no reason you should exercise in the morning.
M. You can keep your head clear for 4-10 hours after exercise.
N. After you exercise, you continue to burn calories throughout the day.
O. If you are planning to do exercise regularly, or you’re doing it now, then listen up!答案与解析
36. G 36题所选的句子是一个承上启下的过渡句。根据上文“如果你准备抽出时间锻炼，那很好。”“但
是由于忙碌的生活，很难抽出时间锻炼。”引出本文要说的事“晨练不仅对身体健康有益，还能给我们提
供额外的好处。”所以G选项符合语境，意为“如果你计划定期锻炼或者现在已经定期锻炼了，那么听好
了！”
37. E 选项37题的意思是“锻炼后，你的头脑可以保持清醒4-10个小时”，呼应上一句“锻炼会让你更加
神清气爽，更好地应对一天当中发生的任何事情。”
38. F 38题的上一句说的是，晨练有利于新陈代谢，下一句说的是晨练能帮助消耗卡路里，因此F句“锻
炼后，这一天里你将继续消耗卡路里”符合逻辑，因此选F。
39. B 39题的下一句讲的是晨练对睡眠的好处，因此B句“睡眠质量得以提高”符合逻辑，因此选B。
40. A 40题的下一句讲的是如果晨练，你就更会坚持吃健康的食物，因此A句“你会坚持你的饮食习惯”
符合逻辑。

Everyone knows that fish is good for health. 3 6 But it seems that many people don’t cook fish at home.
Americans eat only about fifteen pounds of fish per person per year, but we eat twice as much fish in restaurants as
at home. Buying, storing, and cooking fish isn’t difficult. 3 7 This text is about how to buy and cook fish in an
easy way.
3 8 Fresh fish should smell sweet: you should feel that you’re standing at the ocean’s edge. Any fishy or
strong smell means the fish isn’t fresh. 3 9 When you have bought a fish and arrive home, you’d better store the
fish in the refrigerator if you don’t cook it immediately, but fresh fish should be stored in your fridge for only a day
or two. Frozen fish isn’t as tasty as the fresh one.
There are many common methods used to cook fish. 4 0 First, clean it and season it with your
choice of spices (调料). Put the whole fish on a plate and steam it in a steam pot for 8 to 10 minutes
if it weighs about one pound. (A larger one will take more time.) Then, it’s ready to serve.
A. Do not buy it. B. The easiest is to steam it.
C. This is how you can do it.
D. It just requires a little knowledge.
E. The fish will go bad within hours.
F. When buying fish, you should first smell it.

Is Fresh Air Really Good for You?
We all grew up hearing people tell us to ＂go out and get some fresh air＂ . 36 According
to recent studies, the answer is a big YES, if the air quality in your camping area is good.
37 If the air you’re breathing is clean — which it would be if you’re away from the
smog of cities — then the air is filled with life-giving, energizing oxygen. If you exercise out of doors,
your body will learn to breathe more deeply, allowing even more oxygen to get to your muscles（肌肉）
and your brain.
Recently, people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing（治愈）.
38 In these places patients can go to be near nature during their recovery. It turns out that just
looking at green, growing things can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and put people into a bettermood（情绪）. Greenery is good for us. Hospital patients who see tree branches out their window are
likely to recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead. 3 9 It gives us
a great feeling of peace.
40 While the sun’s rays can age and harm our skin, they also give us beneficial Vitamin D.
To make sure you get enough Vitamin D — but still protect your skin — put on sunscreen right as you
head outside. It takes sunscreen about fifteen minutes to start working, and that’s plenty of time for your
skin to absorb a day’s worth of Vitamin D.
A. Fresh air cleans our lungs.
B. So what are you waiting for?
C. Being in nature refreshes us.
D. Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight.
E. But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said?
F. Just as importantly, we tend to associate fresh air with health care.
G. All across the country, recovery centers have begun building Healing Gardens.
答案与解析
36. E 根据本段第一句话“人们总是让我们出去呼吸新鲜空气”和空格后一句 “回答是肯定的”可知此处
应填入一个一般疑问句，即“新鲜空气果真如妈妈总说的那样好吗？”
37. A 文章开头讲述了新鲜空气对人有好处，那接下来应该介绍具体的好处。空白处应是本段的总起句。
通过阅读本段后面部分可知，本段主要讲述了远离城市雾霾，到大自然中呼吸新鲜空气对人体带来的好处。
而对人体呼吸和氧气供应产生影响的器官，就是肺。只有肺里清洁，呼吸才能畅通无阻，才能让人充满活
力。由此推断，选项A更符合常识以及本段大意。
38. G 本段空格后提到in these places“在这些地方” 可知，空格处应该是某个地点。此外，本段第一句提
到研究人员在研究自然环境和疾病痊愈之间的关系，那么紧接着应该要建立这种接近自然的康复中心，因
此选G。
39. C 从本段的in these places一直到此空前，作者描述了接近大自然的患者康复更快，再结合此空后“这
给了我们平和宁静”可知，此处应为总结句，描述大自然的作用，因此选C。
40. D 该空后一句提到，尽管太阳光线会使人的皮肤老化、受损，但也能提供有益人体的维生素 D。由此
可知，空格处应该与太阳光线有关。18.【2016全国卷II七选五】
A garden that’s just right for you
Have you ever visited a garden that seemed just right for you, where the atmosphere of the garden appeared to
total more than the sum (总和) of its parts? 36 . But it doesn’t happen by accident. ①It starts with looking
inside yourself and understanding who you are with respect to the natural world and how you approach the gardening
process.
● 37
Some people may think that a garden is no more than plants, flowers, patterns and masses of color. Others are
concerned about using gardening methods that require less water and fewer fertilizers (肥料). 38 . However,
there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden. One of them comes from our earliest
years.
● 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 . Then go outside and work out a plan to translate your childhood memories into your grown-up
garden. Have fun.
A. Know why you garden
B. 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
【解析】
试题分析：本文属于说明文，美丽的花园能给我们带来美好的视觉享受，文章中给出了两个自己建设花园
的具体建议。18.E 本段前两句提出有些人认为花园只是一些花花草草，有些人关心少用水少用肥料。本句仍然在说明人
们对园艺的不同看法。故E项“还有其他人只是喜欢在户外接触植物”与上下文一致，也是人们对于园艺
的观点。
19.C 根据前句“……那些都不重要”可知画线句强调的是在园艺中对我们来说真正重要的是什么。故C项
“重要的是我们做园艺的经历”符合上下文语境。
20.G 本部分建议回忆一下小时候所看到的那些花园，并把这些花园的优点写下来，然后制订计划并付诸行
动。故G项符合上下文语境。
【名师点睛】
第小题17属于七选五阅读中最常见的设空在段首的方法，通常是段落主题句。认真阅读后文内容，根
据段落一致性原则，查找同义词或其他相关的词，推断出主题句。本题我们根据倒数第二句“However,
there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden.”可知我们首先要知道为
什么要搞园艺。故A项为本段的主题句。
当七选五阅读设空在句首时，还可能存在以下两种情况：
1. 属于段落间的过渡句。这时要前瞻后望找启示，即阅读上一段结尾部分，通常正确答案与上一段结
尾有机地衔接起来，并结合下一段内容，看所选的答案是否能将两段内容连贯起来。
2. 与后文是并列、转折、因果关系等。着重阅读后文第一两句，锁定线索信号词，然后在选项中查找
相关特征词。通常正确答案的最后一句与空白后的第一句在意思上是紧密衔接的，因此这两句间会有某种
衔接手段，尤其当选项是几句话时。比如，如果选项中出现时间年代时，往往要注意与原文中年代的前后
对应关系。

Color is fundamental in home design—something you’ll always have in every room. A grasp of how
to manage color in your spaces is one of the first steps to creating rooms you’ll love to live in. Do you
want a room that’s full of life? Professional? Or are you just looking for a place to relax after a longday? 3 6 , color is the key to making a room feel the way you want it to feel.
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.
38 . 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.
Medium color choices are generally furniture pieces such as sofas, dinner tables or bookshelves. 3 9
. They require a bigger commitment than smaller ones, and they have a more powerful effect on the
feeling of a space.
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. 4 0 .
D. While all of them are useful
E. Whatever you’re looking for
F. If you’re experimenting with a color
G. Small color choices are the ones we’re most familiar with
H. It’s not really a good idea to use too many small color pieces
I. So it pays to be sure, because you want to get it right the first time
J. Color choices in this range are a step up from the small ones in two major ways
答案与解析
36. B 上文提到，Do you want a room that’s full of life? Professional? Or are you just looking for a
place to relax after a long day? 你想要一间充满活力的房间吗？职业化的？还是在寻找一处忙碌了一整天
后放松的地方？可知，接下来将是对上文的总结，无论你找什么样的房间，颜色是关键。且选项 B中的
looking for和上文的want和looking for相呼应。
37. A 空格上一句提到，多年来，有许多不同的工艺帮助设计师达到这一目标。由此可推断，这些工艺都
很有用。选项A中的them指代的是different techniques。
38. D 上一段结尾提到三种选择: the small ones, the medium ones, and the large ones。接下来分别一一
介绍。且该段中作者提到小物品如小靠垫、镜子、篮子等的颜色可以给房间带来视觉上的乐趣，以及其他好处。由此可知，本段介绍的是small color choices。
39. G 该空下一句提到中等物品颜色的选择和小物品作比较的两个方面：一是花费，二是对空间感觉的影
响。与选项G中的two major ways相呼应。
40. F 该空上一句提到，大的方面的颜色选择所投入的时间、精力和相关费用都是相当多的。与选项F中
的pay相呼应。因而，墙壁、天花板、地板等颜色的选择是你首先要搞定的。
