文档内容
第 20 讲 七选五
1．了解七选五的解题方法与技巧。
2．进行七选五真题训练。
七选五试题给出一篇缺少5个句子的文章，对应有七个选项，根据文章结构、内容，选出正确的句
子，填入相应的空白处。该类题型要求从短文后的七个选项中（均为完整的句子）选出五个能填入文章
空处的最佳选项，主要考查考生对文章的整体内容和结构以及上下文逻辑意义的理解和掌握。其命题形
式深受阅读多项选择题的影响，体现了《新课标》“用英语获取、处理和运用信息的能力；逐步获取用
英语思维的能力。”的阅读学习和教学理念。七选五和传统题型完型填空有些类似，虽然完型填空题考
查的是词汇层面，七选五考查的是句子层面，但是它们的考查方式是一样的，只要考生选择的答案能够
使行文连贯，符合英文的语法以及习惯表达就行，因此，这两类题型在做题方法上有共同之处。该题型
命题形式仍然具有客观题的特点，又与完形填空具有异曲同工之妙，只是选项少，以句子形式出现，考
查目的和侧重点不完全相同而已。
从《考试说明》对该题型命题目的的表述“主要考查考生对文章的整体内容和结构以及上下文逻辑
意义的理解和掌握。”可以得出以下判断：该题备选项可分为主旨概括句（文章整体内容）、过渡性句
子（文章结构）和注释性句子（上下文逻辑意义）三类。其多余的两个干扰项也往往从这三方面进行设
置，例如主旨概括句或过于宽泛或以偏概全或偏离主题，过渡性句子不能反映文章的行文结构，注释性
句子与上文脱节等。
解题技巧：
1.通过设题位置判断
（1）段首设空一般找能概括该段中心意思的选项。
（2）段尾设空一般找能总结归纳该段的选项。
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
段中题 例证关系 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)。
常见的表示例证关系的标志词语有：for example, for instance, infact/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,
转折关系
while/though/although, or/otherwise, on the contrary, instead,
nevertheless(然而), still, in contrast/comparison, by comparison等。
表示因果关系的标志词语有：so, therefore, thus, consequently(结
因果关系
果), as a 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,
递进关系 besides, further, 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。
2.通过标点符号判断
当设空处后为逗号且逗号后面的句子结构完整时，可判断该空应为状语从句。
3.根据语境线索判断
语境线索主要指反映上下文关系的衔接手段，如篇章结构、词语重现、逻辑、连接、指代、同构等。
（1）“词语重现”不仅指词语的简单出现，而且指某词语可能以不同词类、词性、数、格、时态、语态
等形式出现。
（2）“逻辑”指事物之间存在的必然的关系，包括时间先后关系、空间位置关系、因果关系、归纳总结
关系、总分关系等。
（3）“指代”是指用代词代替前文提到过的人物、事件、物品等，如 it，he，she，they等。
（4）“同构”是指上下文使用同一结构或类似的句子。

when I spent a few days backpacking in Bucharest, Romania. An unexpected act of kindness from a stranger truly
made me feel moved. _____16_____

boarded the bus and found out that none of my cards worked and I wasn’t able to buy a ticket. _____17_____

and fined me for not having a ticket.

onboard. _____18_____ You can use wireless pay to purchase a ticket. I was delighted after finding out such
good news as I did not want another fine.

within your range of control and prioritize what matters most. Here are some tips.

it will help you repair and improve your relationships with others after that offense (冒犯).
Acknowledge the offense. This is an essential element of a good apology. ___31___Apologies are most
likely to be well-received if you show that you recognize who was responsible and who was harmed. For example,
saying “I made a mistake” is more effective than saying“mistakes were made”, which fails to clarify
responsibility.
___32___In some cases, it’s helpful to explain an offense, especially to explain that it was not intentional
and that it will not happen again. But explanations that are long-winded, sound like excuses, or blame the victim
(e. g. You were really getting on my nerves.) tend to have an opposite effect.
Express regret.___33___ Expressing these feelings communicates that you recognize and regret the suffering
you caused. Be careful of phrases like “That was uncharacteristic of me.” ___34___ Instead, acknowledge your
disappointment in yourself and your commitment to improve.
