“七選五”題型的命題分析
“七選五”型閱讀理解題,試題模式為:給出一篇缺少五個句子的文章,對應(yīng)有七個選項,要求同學們根據(jù)文章結(jié)構(gòu)、內(nèi)容,選出正確的句子,填入相應(yīng)的空白處?!犊荚囌f明》對該題型命題目的的表述為“主要考查考生對文章的整體內(nèi)容和結(jié)構(gòu)以及上下文邏輯意義的理解和掌握?!?該題型要求同學們從整體上把握文章的邏輯結(jié)構(gòu)和內(nèi)容上的聯(lián)系,理解句子之間、段落之間的關(guān)系,對諸如連貫性、一致性等語段特征有較強的意識和熟練的把握。
七選五的解題步驟
1)在閱讀過程中,要注意文章的開始與結(jié)束段落,尤其是文章的首段及末段末句,因為“開門見山”與“結(jié)尾總結(jié)”的寫作方式為常見的寫作方式,首段的末句一般是全文的主題所在,說明本文將探討哪些內(nèi)容,并簡要指出文章的寫作思路,有時甚至會以提綱的形式進行呈現(xiàn)。首段的末句對于快速掌握文章的主題具有重要意義,如果它是文章的主題句,就可以使讀者迅速明確文章情節(jié)將如何展開,并對文章的寫作主題有了整體的了解。如果末句不是主題句,則需要繼續(xù)尋找。這時,可以考慮文章的寫作方式是否為“結(jié)尾總結(jié)”式,如兩者均可排除,則需在文章中其他段落尋找主題句,但要注意首段與末段的提示作用。
2)邊讀邊做題,重點閱讀各個問題附近的句子,圈定線索詞,然后從選項中尋找相關(guān)的特征詞,以確定答案。做題時可以采用代入排除法。如果一題做不出或拿不準,可先放過,繼續(xù)往下讀,先做容易的能做出的題,直到讀完整篇文章。至此,文章的要點和主旨、各個段落之間的邏輯關(guān)系應(yīng)基本清楚了。將所選項放入空白處,看看是否與上下文構(gòu)成語義及邏輯上的直接關(guān)系,是否符合該處語境。能否承接前后的寫作線索。使文章無論內(nèi)容還是銜接上都能做到通順。
一篇文章作為一個整體,是有其寫作的線索與思路的,在選項定位中,要尤其注意文章的寫作線索,文章的寫作思路的連貫使文章的每個段落、每個句子甚至每個短語均融為一體。如果代入選項后,發(fā)現(xiàn)文章寫作線索中斷或是前后矛盾,應(yīng)更換其它選項。
3)在完成選項定位后,應(yīng)通讀全文,檢查文章內(nèi)容是否完整,語義是否連貫合理、各段落內(nèi)容是否緊扣主題,語篇結(jié)構(gòu)是否通順連貫、具有一致性、合乎邏輯,寫作思路是否清晰明了,格式以及用語是否恰當貼切,從而判斷選擇的答案是否正確。同時,我們還應(yīng)注意對相近選項的對比分析,個別干擾項由于與某個正確選項的內(nèi)容相近具有很強的干擾性,這時就需要我們認真分析,仔細甄別,排除干擾,從而得出正確選項。
要特別注意,除非有充分的理由否定向前的選擇,否則不要倉促更改。只要前兩步投入了精力,動了腦筋,第一印象往往可信度很高。
七選五的解題策略
1)從意思上判斷
在做題時最重要的是要讀懂空白前后的句子,明白這幾句話的確切意思,然后根據(jù)意思的連貫性或邏輯性從選項中選取正確答案。在讀懂意思的基礎(chǔ)上,再利用線索特征詞等進一步確認答案。
2)從詞匯上鎖定線索
做題時很重要的一點是保持對一些線索詞的敏感,最主要的線索特征詞是空白前后的名詞和動詞,尋找答案時注意在選項中查找同義詞、近義詞、反義詞或表示同一類事物的詞語等。其次是代詞、數(shù)詞、表示時間/年代的詞、地點/名稱等專有名詞等。尤其是在讀不懂句子的情況下,利用這樣的線索詞尋找答案是很有效的方法。
3)從關(guān)聯(lián)詞上查找
由于英語的句段之間經(jīng)常會運用關(guān)聯(lián)詞表示銜接和過渡,使文章邏輯更清楚和連貫,因此文章中和選項中表示各種邏輯關(guān)系的路標性信號詞在選擇答案時都是很重要的線索。 在做題時可將這三個層面的線索很好地結(jié)合起來。例如,在看到表示并列或遞進關(guān)系的關(guān)聯(lián)詞時,一般表示前后句子的名詞或句意具有同指性;而表示轉(zhuǎn)折讓步關(guān)系的詞則往往表示前后句子的名詞同指,但句意對立,或褒貶對立或肯否對立;而表示例證關(guān)系的詞則意味著在舉例之前或之后有表述概念或某一觀點的句子,往往會有復(fù)數(shù)名詞出現(xiàn)。常見的關(guān)聯(lián)詞有下面這些:
(a)并列與遞進關(guān)系:and, or, also,neither…nor…,either…or…, in the same way, that is to say ,as well as, the same …as, besides, moreover, in addition to ,what is more
(b)因果關(guān)系:because, for, since, as, therefore, so, so…that, thanks to, as a result, because of, in that, for this reason, of course
(c)轉(zhuǎn)折讓步關(guān)系:but, however, yet, on the other hand, unfortunately, while, rather than, instead of, it is true that, of course, although, though, even though, even if
(d)時間關(guān)系: at first, at last, finally, first, firstly, in the first place, to start with,in the mean time, last, later, next, second, secondly, then, third, thirdly, to begin with以及一些具體的時間。
4. 根據(jù)試題所在的不同位置確定不同的解題策略
1)如果問題在段首
(a)通常是段落主題句。認真閱讀后文內(nèi)容,根據(jù)段落一致性原則,查找同義詞或其他相關(guān)的詞,推斷出主題句。
(b)與后文是并列、轉(zhuǎn)折、因果關(guān)系等。著重閱讀后文第一兩句,鎖定線索信號詞,然后在選項中查找相關(guān)特征詞。通常正確答案的最后一句與空白后的第一句在意思上是緊密銜接的,因此這兩句間會有某種的銜接手段。
(c)段落間的過渡句。這時要前瞻后望找啟示,即閱讀上一段結(jié)尾部分,通常正確答案與上一段結(jié)尾有機地銜接起來,并結(jié)合下一段內(nèi)容,看所選的答案是否將兩段內(nèi)容連貫起來。
2)如果問題在段尾
(a)空白前的一句或兩句是重點語句,重點閱讀以鎖定關(guān)鍵詞。
(b)通常是結(jié)論、概括性語句。注意在選項中查找表示結(jié)果、結(jié)論、總結(jié)等的信號詞,如therefore, as a result, in a word等詞語,選項中也可發(fā)現(xiàn)前文的同義詞句。
(c)與前文是轉(zhuǎn)折或?qū)Ρ汝P(guān)系。此時要注意在選項中查找表示轉(zhuǎn)折、對比的關(guān)聯(lián)詞,同時注意選項中所講內(nèi)容是否與前文在同一主題上形成對立、對比關(guān)系。
(d)與前文是并列或排比關(guān)系。在這種情況下,通常是該段落要求補全說明本段主題的其他細節(jié),因此根據(jù)段落一致性原則,在原文和選項中找到相關(guān)的特征詞,通常在選項中會出現(xiàn)表示并列/遞進關(guān)系的關(guān)聯(lián)詞或與前文類似的句式結(jié)構(gòu),或出現(xiàn)同義詞等其他信號線索。前面的一句與正確答案的第一句是緊密相連的。要特別注意閱讀這樣相連的兩句,通常會找到關(guān)鍵的線索詞句。
(e)所選答案是引出下一段的內(nèi)容。如果在選項中找不出與前文之間的關(guān)聯(lián),此時可考慮與下一段開頭是否有一定的銜接。認真閱讀下一段開頭幾句,看是否與選項的最后一句緊密連接起來。
(f)如果第一段的段尾是空白,要認真閱讀,看此處是細節(jié)還是主題。通常文章第一段要提出文章的主題,如果在段尾提出主題,會用一些信號詞如轉(zhuǎn)折詞引出來,正確答案中應(yīng)有這樣的特征詞。
實戰(zhàn)演練:
請先閱讀下面短文,掌握其大意,然后根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容從下面方框內(nèi)的七個選項中,選擇五個還原到文中,使補全后的短文意思通順,結(jié)構(gòu)完整。
