【文章大意】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要說明如何給他人鼓舞士氣。

1.選Fo根據(jù)下文"Youneedtonotonlylistenandunderstand,butalso

stresstheotherperson'sstrengths.Youalsoneedtoknowwhentostop

talking.〃可知空格處是說給人鼓舞士氣，要了解你的聽眾需要什么。分

析選項(xiàng)可知F項(xiàng)（它需要了解你的聽眾需要什么）符合語境。

2.選Do根據(jù)空格前"Don'tjumprightinandinsist'You'llbefine,'〃以及

空格后的"Repeattheperson'sconcernsoutloud,sohefeelsheard.〃可推

斷出D項(xiàng)〃讓你的朋友知道你理解他為什么難過〃符合語境。

3.選G。根據(jù)空格后的“Youcan'tguaranteesuccess,butyoucanremind

thepersonthathehasbeenthroughatoughtimebeforeandhasgotten

throughit.〃并分析選項(xiàng)可知G（記住鼓舞士氣的話是關(guān)于希望的，這一

點(diǎn)很重要）符合語境。

4.選Bo根據(jù)空格的上句"Atlast,Kaisersaysyoumustknowwhento

stop."以及下文"Don'targueifthepersondisagreeswithwhatyouare

saying.Instead,tellhim'Iamsorryyouarehavingsuchahardtime,7and

thenbackdown.〃可知B項(xiàng)（給人打氣，適時閉嘴）與本段意義一致，且B

項(xiàng)中的"shutup〃與空格前的"knowwhentostop〃為同義詞組，是詞義復(fù)

現(xiàn)。

5.選Ao根據(jù)空格前的“Thereisatimetogiveapeptalk,andthereisa

timetojustlisten.〃可知A項(xiàng)（讓你的朋友享受他的時刻）符合語境。

【文章大意】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了英美幽默的差異。

1.選B。此空位于本段末尾，結(jié)合空前一句"Anation'ssenseofhumour

islinkedtothehistoricaldevelopmentofthecountry.”和本段第一句

“Humourisaphenomenoninfluencedbyculture.”可推次口，土匕處為,更名吉

性推論。故選B項(xiàng)。

2.選Fo才艮據(jù)下文〃Recentresearchprovesthattherearetwomajor

differencesbetweenBritishandAmericansenseofhumour.”可知F項(xiàng)〃人

們說美國人和英國人幾乎不能明白對方的笑話“符合語境。

3.選D。才艮據(jù)空后的"However,it'snotsharedbyAmericans.〃可才隹知，此

空應(yīng)是與英式幽默有關(guān)；再根據(jù)下文所舉的一個英國男士丟手機(jī)后的

反應(yīng)的例子可知，D項(xiàng)符合語境。

4.選E<>承接上文"Recentresearchprovesthattherearetwomajor

differencesbetweenBritishandAmericansenseofhumour."可知，山匕處

表示另外一個英美之間幽默的差異，且結(jié)合下文“Andthatkindofjokes

iscallednegativehumourbyresearchers."可推知，此空應(yīng)選E項(xiàng)。

5.選Go承接上文“Therefore,someshowsdescribealifestylewhichboth

AmericansandtheBritishalikecanrelateto.〃可推知，空處應(yīng)是舉了一

個例子，對上文的觀點(diǎn)進(jìn)行進(jìn)一步的說明。故選G項(xiàng)。

【文章大意】這是一篇說明文。文章向我們介紹了五個看似簡單，但實(shí)

際上很復(fù)雜的事。

1.選Do根據(jù)段落主旨句Theprooffor/zl+l=2nisover300pageslong可

知，這一段主要講述的是1+1=2的問題。D項(xiàng)符合段落主旨，且以問句

的形式引出下文關(guān)于1+1=2這個問題的具體內(nèi)容。

2.選Go該段落主要講述的是英文單詞the的定義和用法。G項(xiàng)談?wù)?/p>

我們中的大多數(shù)人可能從來沒有停止思考這個詞到底有多奇怪。選項(xiàng)

中的aword指代的是段落主旨句中的〃the”,故選項(xiàng)符合段落主旨，且

能夠引起下文，下文通過例子講述了這個詞的用法到底有多奇怪。故選

Go

3.選E。本段主要講述的打哈欠的問題。E項(xiàng)中的yawn與段落主旨句

Yawning呼應(yīng)，符合段落主旨，討論的是打哈欠的問題。故選E。

4.選Co*艮據(jù)下文It'saquestionthathasbeenpuzzlingphilosophersfor

years可知，空格處應(yīng)該是一個問題。C項(xiàng)與本段主旨一致，討論的是

看不見的人如何區(qū)分左邊和右邊。

5.選Bo才艮據(jù)You/dthinkthatthereasonweenjoythingsisbecauseit

feelsgoodinsomeway,butit'sonlyhalfthestory可知，本段主要講的

是我們到底為什么喜歡某件事物。B項(xiàng)符合文意。

【規(guī)律方法】

七選五的解題技巧

1.先讀文章的開始部分，明確文章的基本話題，然后仔細(xì)閱讀五個空

各自的前后句尋找并畫出關(guān)鍵詞。（一名（名詞）袋（代詞）鼠（數(shù)詞）很特殊

（特殊疑問詞），連（連詞）蹦（動詞）帶跳很彪（標(biāo)點(diǎn)/標(biāo)題）悍。）

2.要對文章中出現(xiàn)的銜接手段保持敏感度。銜接手段分為三種：詞匯

銜接、邏輯銜接、結(jié)構(gòu)銜接。可按這幾個原則判斷原文的空與選項(xiàng)是

否匹配。

3.一旦確定一個選項(xiàng)，就要在該選項(xiàng)上做出標(biāo)記（例如可以刪掉），以避

免干擾和分散注意力。

4.將選項(xiàng)代入到文章中重讀，依據(jù)行文邏輯，再次確定選項(xiàng)。
