“七选五”阅读题主要考查学生理解语篇的能力。“七选五”阅读题要求学生有较强的语篇意识,能够把握语篇的整体结构和内在衔接。
根据系统功能语言学理论,语篇从三个维度存在相互的内在关联。一是概念,语篇题材、体裁相同,讲述的事情相同,从而体现其语篇概念上的连贯。二是交际,其语气和态度的和谐统一,就可以实现交际的预设目标。三是语篇结构上的内在衔接关系。在“七选五”阅读题中,常见的衔接手段有结构衔接、逻辑衔接和词汇衔接。
一、结构衔接
1.设空在标题,所选标题要与其它標题保持结构和风格上的一致。小标题一般短小精悍,多为祈使句或名词短语。
●__________
Do not follow the people who make you feel notgood enough.Why do you follow them? Are you hop-ing that eventually you will feel empowered becauseyour life is better than theirs? Know that your life isyour own; you are the only you in this world.
●Forgive yourself for mistakes that you havemade...
●Recognize all of your strengths...(2020年全国卷I)
D. Remember, you are only human.
E. Set an intention for self- acceptance.
F. Stop comparing yourself with others.
解析:根据祈使句的标题句式特点,先筛选出选项DEF,然后根据语篇的概念意义连贯中的表述同一个话题,选出答案F。
2.设空在段首,段首句通常是该段的中心句/主题句。
Before there was the written word, there was thelanguage of dance. Dance expresses love and hate, joyand sorrow ,life and death, and everything else in be-tween.

D. My older students say it makes them feel young.
解析:根据段落中两个“from.….to”跟选项中“ev-erywhere”相呼应。正确答案是B项。
3.设空在段尾,段尾句一般是总结归纳、呼应首句或是引出下文

1.转折关系
55 However, anger can easily tum violent, andit is best to know the reasons for anger to appear in or-der to prevent its presence.
