七选五阅读得分最佳的方式是猜选结合。尤其对于基础不好的同学,“猜”的技巧显得至关重要。下面介绍几种猜和选的方法。
[词汇浮现法]
这种方法是最直接的一种解题的方法。同学们可以通过对比选项和文章,看有没有重复使用某一个词,或者二者之间有同根词。
例1 Inner peace may seem almost unachievable and maybe even unreal for many. However, there is a secret. Inner peace is only partly decided by outer circumstances. Mainly, it is a choice you must make for yourself. 36 This requires constant practice,but with practice your inner peace can become a habit, and then, a reality. These are the steps you may start with.
1.Simplify
Simplicity contributes to inner peace because it allows you to direct your energy and effort into one single point.Get rid of everything that blocks you,including acquaintances and friends who may only disturb you. 37 Dont let unnecessary information like TV news into your life.
2.Direct your mind on the present moment
The only time that truly exists is this present moment. Past was once the present, and future will once too, become the present. 38 Or with the unpredictable future,which is in fact nothing more than your fantasy. So be focused on the present. Give all your best to it, and simply live.
3.Smile
A simple smile does wonders. 39 It can instantly change mood of others as well as your own.Smile to members of your family, smile to your coworkers, smile to everybody you meet. Smile even to yourself in the mirror if theres nobody else around.While smiling, you cant help but feel calmness, happiness and love.
4.Keep calm
If you find yourself anxious,take few deep breaths and wait to fully calm down before taking any kind of action or decision. 40 The ability to keep calm and focus among chaos and changes is a true sign of inner peace.
A. Try to think of what good it also did you.
B. Rushing anything leads only to poor outcomes.
C. Stop and think about how fortunate you really are.
D. It can help to soften hearts and make “no” into“yes”.
E. Throw out or give away everything that you dont really need.
F. For all that matters, you should not involve yourself with things gone.
G. You can be calm and peaceful in any situation by surprisingly, simply choosing to.
解析 GEFDB。第1段讲述了内心的平静只有一部分由外界因素决定,它更多的是源于自身所做的选择。It is a choice you must make for yourself.中的choice和G选项里面的choosing属于同根词,因此这道题可以考虑G选项。经过验证这个题就应该选G。
[词汇锁定法]
词汇锁定法是通过关注空前后的词汇,在选项中查找相关的同义词、反义词或表示同一类事物的词语。比如例1第4条中的anxious和B选项中的rushing就有相关性。
例2 (2015新课标II卷) When you have found shoes that seem right, walk in them for a few days to double check the fit. . As always, you should stretch (伸展) at least ten minutes before each run to prevent injuries.
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 to figure out a goal of improving distance and time
解析 E。前面说当你发现看着合适的鞋子,穿着走几天再看看是不是合脚。选项E中说如果它们还是(让你)感觉不错,就可以穿着它们开始跑步。显然,这里的they和them指的都是shoes,指代一致。另外这个选项里说的feel good文中说的the fit指的都是鞋子穿着合脚。所以确定E选项就是要找的答案。
[句意判断法]
句意判断法要注意两个方面,一是句子前后文相似句型的查找,二是要确切理解意思,合乎文章的逻辑。
例3 (2015新课标Ⅱ卷) Training for a marathon requires careful preparation and steady, gradual increases in the length of runs. , buy the best fitting, best-built running shoes you can find.
解析 C。设空后面是个逗号,然后跟了一个祈使句,说明这里需要的是一个状语,那么AC选项首先在语法上是符合要求的。再来看空前说马拉松训练需要细致的准备和跑步长度上渐进的提升,后面说的是购买你能找到的最合适最好的跑鞋,就知道这个是为跑马拉松进行的准备,是在训练前做的事情,所以C在语意上也符合了要求。
[关联逻辑法]
这个方法是通过文章和选项中的表示逻辑关系的关联词(比如表示并列、递进转折、让步等关系)入手,找出能体现相应逻辑关系的选项。
例4 (2013新课标I卷) Business is the organized approach to providing customers with the goods and services they want. The word business also refers to an organization that provides these goods and services. Most businesses seek to make a profit (利润)—that is, they aim to achieve income that is more than the costs of operating the business. 71 Commonly called nonprofits, these organizations are primarily nongovernmental service providers. 72
Business management is a term used to describe the techniques of planning, direction, and control of the operations of a business. 73 One is the establishment (制定) of broad basic policies with respect to production, sales, the purchase of equipment, materials and supplies, and accounting. 74 The third relates to the establishment of standards of work in all departments. Direction is concerned primarily with supervision (监管) and guidance by the management in authority. 75
A. Control includes the use of records and reports to compare actual work with the set standards for work.
B. In this connection there is the difference between top management and operative management.
C. Examples of nonprofit business include such organizations as social service agencies and many hospitals.
D. However, some businesses only seek to earn enough to cover their operating costs.
E. The second aspect relates to the application of these policies by departments.
F. In the theory of business management, organization has two main aspects.
G. Planning in business management has three main aspects.
解析 DCAEB。第71空前面说大部分商业机构追求利润,而后面说的是非营利组织nonprofits,说明前后方向相反,那么所填的内容必须符合使话题一转的作用。however正好表现这种转折关系,代入D选项验证,就可知这个就是我们要选择的答案。
[设题位置法]
设空位于段首一般用来表明本段的中心大意,如果位于中间一般是过渡句或起细节理解的作用,如果在段末则一般作为本段的归纳、总结。
我们先来看看问题设空在段首。通常在选择段首句时要认真阅读后文内容,根据段落一致的原则,查找同义词或相关内容。
例5 Always stressed
4 Youre not giving your body time to recover,so youre always stressed. And the more tired and stressed we get, the more mistakes we make. Physical and mental health can suffer. The fact that we can stay connected to the workplace whenever we are in the world is feeding deep-seated insecurities.
A. Seeking work/life balance.
B. You are remindless of your own health.
C. Some people are becoming increasingly concerned about this syndrome (综合症).
D. The negative impacts of this “always on” culture are that your mind is never resting.
E. You are nervous if your phone is getting low on paper.
F. We now consume media for more hours than we sleep.
G. The app—Moment.
解析 D。这一题就是典型的段首句。通过阅读后面的文章可知本段讲的是“永远在线”给人们带来心理压力和不安全感,生理和心理健康都会因此受到折磨。选项D中的never resting与本段中的not giving your body time to recover,tired是相对应的,且the negative inpacts就是对后文内容的概括。这里段首就是这个段落的主题句,后面则是对这个问题展开的解释和分析。
接下来我们再用一个例子来看看设空在段尾。如果空设在段尾通常是结论、概括性的语句。要注意在选项中查找表示结果、结论的信号词,如therefore,as a result,thus,hence,in short,to sum up,to conclude,in a word等。
例如在一篇题为Some Unmissable and Positive Habits to Live a Happier Life的文章里最后一空:
例6 End each day with gratitude
Just before you go to bed, write down at least one wonderful thing that happened. It might be something as small as a childs laugh or something as huge as a million dollar deal. 5
A. Focus on the present moment.
B. Laugh in the middle of a busy day.
C. Be a part of something you believe in.
D. Find time to work out regularly and eat well.
E. Thats because they dont have anything to worry about.
F. Its amazing how much the people around us can affect our emotions.
G. Whatever it is, be grateful for that day because it will never come again.
解析 G。这一段标题的说的是用感恩结束一天的生活。介绍的方式是睡前写下发生的那些美好的事情。这些事情可能小如婴儿的笑,或是大如100万美元的交易。所以后面要用一个让步状语,表示不论发生的好事是大是小,都要感恩每一天。这是对前面的一个总结。所以选G。
