专题05+阅读理解七选五-备战2018年高考英语之阅读类试题解题妙招

‎ ‎ 阅读理解七选五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。其命题形式深受英语四六级和考研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。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。‎ 文章体裁以说明文为主，语篇模式较为固定：提出问题——提供解决方案。文章题材较为固定：与学生的日常生活学习紧密相关。‎ 分析篇章结构，把握全篇文脉是阅读填空题解题的关键，英语的语篇（discourse）通常是由句子和语段（sentence group）构成的，语段是句子和语篇之间的中间层次，句子虽然能够单独地表达相对完整的思想，但是它不能表达多方面的、比较复杂的思想，只有把几个句子结合为较大的言语片段，才能表达一个相对独立的层意，所谓的＂积句而成章，积章而成篇。＂就是这个道理。‎ ‎ 分析文章的层次包含两种形式：一种是分析整篇文章的层次，也就是段落，另一种是分析每一个段落内部的层次，也就是语篇层次。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 语篇与段落是有区别的，语段是篇章结构的中间层次，是由句子到篇的一种过渡形式，段落（paragraph）是在某些语体（如记叙文、议论文）中比语段更大的意义单位，较小的段落可以只包括一个语段或一个句子，一般来说，一个段落通常由几个语段构成。构成语段的方式有两种，一是靠句际间意义的结合，二是靠句际间的关联词，逻辑性插入语来连接，在分析语段层次时，可以借助句际间的连接词语作出判断，但最主要的还是要真正体会句际间的意义关系，把握作者的思路，从语序上去发现断续点，理清层次，好文章的层次非常清晰，只有层层入手，才能真正理解文章。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎【解题步骤】‎ 解题步骤1‎ 在高考的现场如果考生用大量的时间来彻底读懂文章的意思其实是不现实的，也是没有必要的，我们可以尝试以下四步走。‎ 1. 先读文章的开始部分，明确文章的基本话题，然后仔细阅读五个空各自的前后句寻找并画出关键词。‎ ‎【巧学妙记】‎ ‎（一名(名词)袋（代词）鼠（数次）很特殊（特殊疑问词），连（连词）蹦（动词）带跳很彪（标点/标题）悍。）‎ ‎2.要对文章中出现的衔接手段保持敏感度。衔接手段分为三种：词汇衔接、逻辑衔接、结构衔接。可按这几个原则判断原文的空与选项是否匹配。‎ ‎3.一旦确定一个选项，就要在该选项上做出标记（例如可以删掉），以避免干扰和分散注意力。‎ ‎4.将选项代入到文章中重读，依据行文逻辑，再次确定选项。‎ 答题技巧 细节类题型解题技巧(词汇的衔接或逻辑的衔接)‎ ‎1.词汇的衔接包括：‎ ‎（1)词汇复现 复现，是保证文章前后衔接而经常使用的一种写作手段，即作者在文章上下文不同的位置对同一个概念进行重复描述。‎ 复现关系，主要是指原词复现、同义词复现、近义词复现、反义词复现等。‎ ‎（2)同范畴词出现 同范畴词是指跟此词汇相关或同一领域的词汇在文章中共同出现，达到语义衔接的目的。你可以在选项中找到与此词汇最接近的词，从而达到快而准。一般来说，上下文中词汇联系越接近，上下文的衔接关系越紧密。‎ ‎(3)代词线索 英语表达中代词出现的频率极高，代词的作用无非是指代前面提及的名词或形容词概念，巧妙利用这样的指代关系和根据代词的单复数差异可以准确而快速地解题。例如it可指代单数名词或整个句子；they或them指代复数名词；one指代单数可数名词；that指代不可数名词或句子；this指代单数名词或句子;these 或those指代前句的复数名词。‎ ‎2.逻辑关系的衔接 ‎ 过渡性句子可以从细节逻辑上判断可分为：‎ A, 并列关系：First(ly),Second(ly),...；First, then/next,...；In the first place， in the second place...;for one thing,for another thing ,...；then /next ,finally/last 等。‎ B, 递进关系：too ,also, besides, further ,furthermore ,moreover ,what’s more , in addition ,as well , to make matters worse ,not ...but... ,not only ...but also等。‎ C, 解释例证关系：for example ,for instance ,in fact/as a matter of fact ,actually ,in other words /that is to say 等 D, 因果关系： so /therefore ,thus ,consequently(结果） ,as a result (of), so/ such ...that ...,so that ...等 E, 转折对比关系：but, however , yet ,while /though ,or /otherwise ,on the contrary ,instead, nevertheless（然而）, still ,yet, on the contrary ,in contrast / comparison 等 F, 概况归纳关系：in short , in brief , in summary ,generally speaking ,in general , to conclude ,in conclusion, in a word ,on the whole , to sum up 等。‎ ‎3.篇章结构类题解题技巧 根据试题所在位置确定不同的解题策略 ‎ ‎{1)如果问题在段首 ‎ ‎ 通常是段落主题句。认真阅读后文内容，根据段落一致性原则，查找同义词或其他相关的词，推断出主题句。关注每段首尾句，了解大意知主题。‎ ‎ （2)如果问题在段尾 ‎ ‎ 通常是结论、概括性语句。注意在选项中查找表示结果、结论、总结等的信号词，如therefore, as a result, thus, hence, in short, to sum up, to conclude, in a word等词语，选项中也可发现前文的同义词句。‎ 备考策略：‎ • 注重实效。阅读时不仅要注意文章的细节，更应该注意文章的布局。‎ • 注意命题陷阱。‎ 切忌当同样的词，同样的名字或同样的日期都在语文或节选段落中出现，就认为它们是正确的选项，一定要符合逻辑，确保文章内容严谨。‎ • 注重速度。进行限时训练，培养实战观念，不可拖沓。‎ • 将近几年高考题进行分析，重点分析结构清晰分明的说明文和议论文。‎ ‎【解题步骤2】‎ （1） 在阅读过程中，重要要关注文章的首段与末段。尤其是文章的这两段的末尾句，因为＂开门见山＂与 ‎＂末尾点题＂的写作方式是最为常见的，首段的末句一般是全文的主题所在，说明本文将探讨哪些内容，并简要指出文章的写作思路，有时甚至会以提纲的形式进行呈现。首段的末句对于快速掌握文章的主题具有重要意义，如果它是文章的主题句，就可以使读者迅速明确文章情节将如何展开，并对文章的写作主题有了整体的了解。如果末句不是主题句，则需要继续寻找。这时，可以考虑文章的写作方式是否为＂结尾总结＂式，如两者均可排除，则需在文章中其他段落寻找主题句，但要注意首段与末段的提示作用。‎ ‎（2）做题的时候边读边做。各个问题附近的句子都需要重点阅读，圈画一些线索粗，再从选项中寻找相关的特征词用来判断正确答案。带入排除法也是一种很好的方法。另外，如果发现有一题拿不准的，先跳过，先做容易的能做出的题，直到读完整篇文章。至此，文章的要点和主旨、各个段落之间的逻辑关系应该基本就能清楚了。然后再回过去做之前不确定的题目。‎ ‎（3）做完后，通读全文。将所选项放入空白处，通读一遍，看看是否与上下文构成语义及逻辑上的直接关系，是否符合该处语境。能否承接前后的写作线索。使文章无论内容还是衔接上都能做到通顺。若代入选项后，发现文章写作线索中断或是前后矛盾，应更换其它选项。同时，我们还应注意对相近选项的对比分析，个别干扰项由于与某个正确选项的内容相近具有很强的干扰性，这时就需要我们认真分析，仔细甄别，排除干扰，从而得出正确选项。‎ ‎（4）切勿随意改答案。要特别注意的是，不要仓促的改自己的之前选定的答案。做这类的题目时，第一印象的可信度还是很高的，除非你已经常有充分的理由否定向前的选择。‎ ‎【解题策略】‎ ‎（1）从意思上判断 在做题时最重要的是要读懂空白前后的句子，正确理解了这些句子后，根据意思的连贯性、逻辑性或者线索词从选项中选取正确答案。在读懂意思的基础上，再利用线索特征词等进一步确认答案。‎ ‎（2）从词汇上锁定线索 做保持对一些线索词的敏感是非常重要的，要好好关注空白前后的名词和动词，然后在选项中查找它们的近义词、反义词、同义词、同类词等。其次是一些专有名词，比如说数词、代词、时间、年代、地点/名称等。尤其是在读不懂句子的情况下，利用这样的线索词寻找答案是很有效的方法。（3）从关联词作为切入点 ‎ 通常，英语的句段之间经常会运用关联词表示过渡和衔接，让文章的思路与更清楚、逻辑更连贯，因此文章中和选项中表示各种逻辑关系的路标性信号词在选择答案时都是很重要的线索。在做题时可将这三个层面的线索很好地结合起来。例如，在看到表示并列或递进关系的关联词时，一般表示前后句子的名词或句意具有同指性;而表示转折让步关系的词则往往表示前后句子的名词同指，但句意对立，或褒贬对立或肯否对立;而表示例证关系的词则意味着在举例之前或之后有表述概念或某一观点的句子，往往会有复数名词出现。以下四类为常用的关联词，请大家一定要背熟：‎ ‎　　（i）并列与递进：and, or, also，neither„nor„,either„or„,likewise, similarly, equally, in the same way, that is to say ,as well as, the same „as, besides, additionally, furthermore, moreover, in addition to ,what is more ‎　　（ii）因果：because, for, since, as, thus, hence, therefore, so, so„that, consequently, accordingly, due to, thanks to, as a result, because of, in that, for this reason, of course ‎　　（iii）转折让步：but, however, yet, on the contrary, by contrast, on the other hand, unfortunately, while, whereas, unlike, rather than, instead of, it is true that, of course,although, though, even though, even if, nevertheless, despite, in spite of ‎        （ii）时间顺序：afterwards, 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以及一些具体的时间。‎ ‎5. 试题的位置不同，解题策略也不同 ‎（1）若问题在段首 （i）通常是段落主题句。认真阅读该段落，根据段落一致性原则，查找相关词或者同义词，从而推测出主题句，找到答案。 （ii）与后文是并列、转折、因果关系等。着重阅读后文第一两句，锁定线索信号词，然后在选项中查找 相关特征词。一般来说正确答案与它后面的一句话的在意思上是衔接的，所以通常情况下，这两句话中会 有某种的衔接手段。 （iii）段落间的过渡句。这时要前瞻后望找启示，即阅读上一段结尾部分，通常正确答案与上一段结尾有机地衔接起来，并结合下一段内容，看所选的答案是否将两段内容连贯起来。‎ ‎（2）若问题在段尾 （i）空白前的一句或两句是重点语句，重点阅读以锁定关键词。 （ii）通常是结论、概括性语句。要注意表示总结的信号词，如therefore, as a result, hence, thus, to sum up, to conclude, in short, in a word等词语，选项中也可发现前文的同义词句。 （iii）与前文是转折或对比关系。此时要注意在选项中查找表示转折、对比的关联词，同时注意选项中所 讲内容是否与前文在同一主题上形成对立、对比关系。 （vi）与前文是并列或排比关系。在这种情况下，通常是该段落要求补全说明本段主题的其他细节，因此 根据段落一致性原则，在原文和选项中找到相关的特征词，通常在选项中会出现表示并列/递进关系 ‎ 的关联词或与前文类似的句式结构，或出现同义词等其他信号线索。前面的一句与正确答案的第一 句是紧密相连的。要特别注意阅读这样相连的两句，通常会找到关键的线索词句。（i）所选答案是引出下一段的内容。如果在选项中找不出与前文之间的关联，此时可考虑与下一段开头 是否有一定的衔接。认真阅读下一段开头几句，看是否与选项的最后一句紧密连接起来。（iv）如果第一段的段尾是空白，要认真阅读，看此处是细节还是主题。通常文章第一段要提出文章的主 题，如果在段尾提出主题，会用一些信号词如转折词引出来，正确答案中应有这样的特征词。‎ ‎（3）若问题是一整个自然段 （i）承上启下是这个段落的主要任务，且自成一体，所以会有一个该段落主旨。考生可以从选项中较长的选项开始阅读，以此类推直至找到正确答案。 （ii）着重阅读前一段结尾和后一段开头的一两句查找相关的线索，而且重要线索通常会在后一段开头， 因此后一段开头往往比前一段结尾更为重要。 （iii）分析段落之间的逻辑关系及内容的连贯性，注意段落间的衔接手段。将选项代入原文，如果前后内容连贯，符合逻辑，就能得出正确答案。‎ 简单来说，最主要的两个步骤就是1.理清文章的逻辑和结构，2.在所给的原文中找出关键词或者说是线索词。文章的整体思路能帮助你在答案中筛选出符合逻辑的选项，关键词则能帮助你确定更多的细节，排除相近的选项。‎ ‎【总结】‎ 主旨大意把握好，读懂选项更重要 关键信息相匹配，核查排除不可少 经验一：前瞻后顾，寻找＂信号词＂，回到选择项中筛选。复现 经验二：浓缩句意，意义匹配，整体把握。同意 经验三：以段落为单位梳理文章脉络,留意文章的起承转合,逻辑及结构 经验四：＂7选5＂句子选择题正确选择项排列有一条不成文规律：选择项呈＂锯齿＂顺序排列，按照人们习惯，看了A就接着看B，接着看C，依此到G，而我们一般做题的正确答案都是＂参差不齐，错落有致＂的,‎ 看了D之后不看E却看A，看E，看了E之后不看 F而看C。这可能是出题者为了干扰我们常规思维而设置的障碍，因此如果考试时间允许，我们可以拿这个来初步检验我们最后的答案是否＂正确＂。‎ 这些技巧多练练就能孰能生巧。同学们学会了吗? 最后祝大家都能在今年的高考中取得好成绩!‎ 题组一(2017年高考真题)‎ Passage1(2017·新课标全国卷I)‎ If anyone had told me

Banks, companies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer.‎ People have used secret codes for thousands of years. 　 36 　Code breaking never lags (落后) far behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography.‎ There are three main types of cryptography. 　 37 　For example, the first letters of ＂My elephant eats too many eels＂ spell out the hidden message ＂Meet me.＂‎ ‎　 38 　You might represent each letter with a number, for example. Let’s number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitute a number for each letter, the message ＂Meet me＂ would read ＂13 5 5 20 13 5.＂‎ A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. 　 39 　For example, ＂bridge＂ might stand for ＂meet＂ and ＂out＂ might stand for ‎ ‎＂me.＂ The message ＂Bridge out＂ would actually mean ＂Meet me.＂ 　 40 　However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently.‎ A. It is very hard to break a code without the code book.‎ B. In any language, some letters are used more than others.‎ C. Only people who know the keyword can read the message.‎ D. As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them.‎ E. You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out.‎ F. With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words.‎ G. Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet.‎ ‎【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了密码的设置和破解的方法。比如利用该字母在字母表中排序的数字来代表该字母，或者利用一些单词的首字母来组成一个密码等。‎ ‎36.D 【解析】根据后面一句＂Code breaking never lags(落后) far behind code making＂可知，此空该选D(只要有密码的存在，人们就会试图去破解它们)。‎ ‎ 38.G 【解析】上一段介绍了第一种密码类型，本段介绍的是第二种类型，再根据空后的内容可知，空处选G(另外一种隐藏信息的方式是用符号来代表字母表中的特定字母)。‎ ‎ 39.F 【解析】由前一句的＂a code book＂和空后的＂’bridge’might stand for...’me.’＂可知，此空该选F(有了密码书，你就可以写下代表其他单词的单词)。 ‎ ‎40.A 【解析】本段介绍的是密码书，根据空后的转折可知，此处该选A(没有密码书是很难破解密码的)。‎ ‎【归纳总结】‎ 七选五阅读填空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。解题技巧如下：1.注重句式的对接，比如排比句，祈使句等。2. 注重词汇的衔接：也就是利用上下文所重复的关键词，即词的复现原则进行判断，其中包括同义词，原词和反义词的复现。3.注重举例或解释等。如37题和39题只需要利用for example来进行解题。‎ Passage2(2016·新课标全国卷II)‎ A garden that’s just right for you Have you ever visited a garden that seemed just right for you, where the atmosphere of the garden appeared to total more than the sum(总和) of its parts? 　 36 　.

Americans eat only about fifteen pounds of fish per person per ‎ year, but we eat twice as much fish in restaurants as at home. Buying, storing, and cooking fish isn’t difficult. 　 37 　This text is about how to buy and cook fish in an easy way.‎ ‎　 38 　Fresh fish should smell sweet: you should feel that you’re standing at the ocean’s edge. Any fishy or strong smell means the fish isn’t fresh. 　 39 　When you have bought a fish and arrive home, you’d better store the fish in the refrigerator if you don’t cook it immediately, but fresh fish should be stored in your fridge for only a day or two. Frozen fish isn’t as tasty as the fresh one.‎ There are many common methods used to cook fish. 　 40 　First, clean it and season it with your choice of spices (调料). Put the whole fish on a plate and steam it in a steam pot for 8 to 10 minutes if it weighs about one pound. (A larger one will take more time.) Then, it’s ready to serve.‎ A. Do not buy it.‎ B. The easiest is to steam it.‎ C. This is how you can do it.‎ D. It just requires a little knowledge.‎ E. The fish will go bad within hours.‎ F. When buying fish, you should first smell it.‎ G. The fats in fish are thought to help prevent heart disease.‎ ‎【语篇解读】本文向大家介绍了如何用简单的方法购买和烹制鱼。‎ ‎36.G 【解析】考查与首句语意的一致性。由空后的句意表示转折可知，转折前的句子在语意上应该保持一致，即说明吃鱼对健康的益处。故选G。‎ ‎37.D 【解析】考查句子的承上启下作用。空前一句提到对鱼的选购、储存和烹制并不困难，空后一句讲本文是关于如何以一种简单的方式购买和烹制鱼的，故选D＂这只需要一点点知识就能做好＂。‎ ‎ 38.F 【解析】考查主题句。段落的支撑细节始终围绕主题句展开，本段中第二、三句围绕如何通过嗅觉来鉴别鱼是否新鲜，因此可以判断F项正确。‎ ‎39.A 【解析】考查段落中句子间语意的连贯性和代词的正确使用。空前提到，浓烈的气味说明鱼已不新鲜，故不能买这种鱼。据此可知A项正确。‎ ‎40.B 【解析】考查段落中句子间语意的连贯性。本段的主题为如何烹制鱼，下文讲到了烹制鱼的步骤：首先，洗净鱼；其次，添加调料；最后，将装有鱼的盘子放入蒸锅中，蒸8至10分钟即可食用(以重约为一磅的鱼为例)。故选B项＂最简单的方法是蒸＂。‎ ‎【名师点睛】‎ 高考七选五解题方法：‎ ‎1.通读全文，了解文章大意。这是一个泛读的过程，目的是了解文章大意，为以后的理解做铺垫。‎ ‎2.分析句型，了解语法构成 ‎3.当我们了解了文章大意后，要明确每一个空是填一个整句子还是半个句子。这一点十分重要，它能够帮助我们迅速确定某些空的选项范围，比如，有一个空的结尾处没有标点符号，后文紧跟着一个句子的后半部分，很显然这时我们需要填的是半个句子，这时便可以在七个选项中找到是半个句子的选项，从而缩小选择范围。‎ ‎4.明确关联关系。任何句子都是要么和上文有联系，要么和下文有联系，要么和上下文都有联系。例如第36空，第39空和第40空都与它们的前一句有联系。‎ ‎5.带入通读，复查 做完题目切忌直接离开，这是我们很有必要将自己修正好的文章通读一遍，将其看做一片行文通顺语意连贯的文章来读，这是如果感到有含义不连贯的地方，很有可能是我们填错了空，就要复查了，注意：七选五的特点在于，错一道，往往还会错另外的一道或几道，我们叫做＂连错＂，所以当你发现自己有一处填的有问题时，一定要同时检查其它空。‎ Passage4(2016·北京卷)‎ The Science of Risk-Seeking Sometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth taking. 　71　 Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work.‎ The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. 　72　 As the quality of risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.‎ So why aren’t we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. 　 73 　 ‎ No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. 　 74 　 To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.‎ ‎　 75 　 For the risk-seekers, a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.‎ As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we’ll continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool.‎ A. It all depends on your character.‎ B. Those are the risks you should jump to take.‎ C. Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.‎ D. Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.‎ E. This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.‎ F. However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.‎ G. New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.‎ ‎ 【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文，作者讲的是有关冒险的科学的探索方面的内容。‎ ‎71.F 【解析】选项F中的＂weigh risks and rewards＂与上文的＂weigh the risk and the reward＂相呼应，故F项符合语境。‎ ‎72.C 【解析】选项C中的＂Being better at those things＂与上文的＂were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring＂相呼应，因此选C。‎ ‎75.G 【解析】根据空后的＂For the risk-seekers...becomes ‎ active＂可知，此处讲的是面对紧张的局面时我们的大脑会有不同的反应，故G项符合语境。‎ Passage1(2017届北京市西城区高三二模)‎ Social Phobia It’s natural to feel nervous, or shy in front of others at times. Most people manage to get through these moments when they need to. 　 1 　It’s probably more than shyness. It may build up into a powerful fear. As a result, people feel uncomfortable participating in everyday social activities. This is called social phobia (also called social anxiety).‎ ‎　 2 　It prevents them from chatting with friends in the lunchroom, joining an after-school club, or going to a party. Sometimes, they even feel too nervous to ask a question in class or go to a teacher for help. Social phobia not only prevents people from trying new things. It also prevents them from making the normal, everyday mistakes that help people improve their skills still further.‎ It is really sad, isn’t it? But the good news is that people with social phobia can learn to manage fear, develop confidence and communicating skills and stop avoiding things that make them nervous. Of course it’s not always easy. Dealing with social phobia takes patience, courage to face fears and the willingness to practice. 　 3 　‎ Therapists (治疗师) can help people create a plan for facing social fears and build the skills and confidence to overcome it. And family or friends are especially important for them. 　4　Friends and family can encourage them to pick a small goal to aim for, remind them to go for it, and be there when they might feel discouraged. Good friends and family are there to celebrate each small success along the way.‎ Little by little, someone who decides to deal with extreme shyness can learn to be more comfortable. 　 5 　As shyness and fears begin to melt, confidence and positive feelings build. Pretty soon, the person is thinking less about what might feel uncomfortable and more about what might be fun.‎ A. Friends can overcome their fears.‎ B. But for some, the anxiety can be extreme.‎ C. They are not able to make eye contact with classmates.‎ D. Social phobia makes people lonely or disappointed over missed opportunities.‎ E. It also takes a commitment to go forward rather than back away when feeling shy.‎ F. Each small step forward helps build enough confidence to take the next small step.‎ G. The support from those key people helps them gather the courage to try something new.‎ ‎【文章大意】本文为说明文。讲述的是社交恐惧症的危害和解决办法。‎ ‎1.B 【解析】根据上文可知此处表示＂对于某些人来说，这种焦虑可能是极端的。＂，故选B。‎ ‎2.D 【解析】根据本段的内容可知，本段表示的是社交恐惧症的不良影响，与D项（社交恐惧症使人孤独或对错过的机会感到失望）一致，故选D。‎ ‎3.E 【解析】根据上句话 ＂解决社交恐惧症需要耐心、面对恐惧的勇气和愿意实践＂可知此处表示＂解决社交恐惧症还需要勇于向前的承诺而不是感到害羞时退缩＂，故选E。‎ ‎4.G 【解析】根据上文可知此处表示家人和朋友的支持在帮助克服社交恐惧症时的重要性，与G项一致，故选G。‎ ‎5.F 【解析】根据上下句可知此处表示＂每一步的成功帮助建立足够的信心进行下一步＂，故选F。‎ Passage2（2018届山东省烟台市高三上学期期中考试 ）‎ ‎ Why we still need to read Dickens Walk into any bookstore, and you can hardly avoid “bumping into” Charles Dickens. Many of Dickens’ works still sell well today. 1 ‎ As someone who teaches Dickens, the question of why we still read him is often on my mind. 2 One day nearly 10 years ago, however, when I was giving a lecture, I was telling the students that for Victorian readers, Dickens’s writing was a “tune-in-next-week” type of thing that generated crazes. 3 “But why should we still read this stuff?” the student asked. The answer I gave was only acceptable, “Because he teacher you how to think,” I said.‎ The question annoyed me for years, for years, and for years I told myself answers, but never with complete satisfaction. We read Dickens because he is not just a man of his own times, but also a man for our times. We read Dickens because we can learn from experiences of his characters almost as easily as we can learn from our own experiences.‎ ‎ 4 But these are not exactly the reason why I read Dickens. My search for an answer continued until one day a text message came from a student of mine. “We still read Dickens’s ‎ novels,” she wrote, “because they tell us why we are what we are.” Simple as it was, that’s the explanation I had sought for years.‎ Dickens shines a light on who we are during the best of times and wrote of times. 5 If you have time, go to pick up one of his many novels, read it and enjoy what it has to tell you about yourself.‎ A. Then a hand shot up.‎ B. I know that wasn’t really the reason.‎ C. And they are placed on outstanding shelves.‎ D. That question was never more troubling.‎ E. That’s why we still need to read him today.‎ F. I already know who it is I’ll meet in those novels.‎ G. These are all wonderful reasons to read Dickens.‎ ‎【文章大意】本文对为什么我们今天依然要阅读狄更斯著作的原因进行了分析。‎ ‎1.C 【解析】根据Walk into any bookstore, and you can hardly avoid “bumping into” Charles Dickens.

Try these four methods on a daily basis.‎ Don’t think a lot about negativity.‎ Of course, staying positive 24 hours a day, seven days a week is a bit difficult. Letting things get to you is normal, and it’s actually healthy to cry or express frustrations once in a while.‎ It’s when those negative moments control your life that your emotional balance is at risk.  　 1 　 However, don’t give that sadness another second in your day.‎ ‎　 2 　 ‎ What you put into your body directly affects how you feel on the outside.

When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research.‎ ‎ 1 Try the following steps:‎ Calm yourself. 2 You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.‎ Don’t wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. 3 Keep ‎ in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.‎ Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者). Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who causes you pain. Instead of focusing on your mounded(半埋没的) feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.‎ ‎ 4 If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love.

Learn to bounce back ‎＂That which does not kill us makes us stronger.＂ Nietzsche said. There are a number of ways that can get us through tough times, help us to bounce back and make us happier. 1 ‎ Find something you can control.‎ ‎ 2 But taking small, positive steps in any area of our life can have a ripple effect, enabling us to move forward in the problem area.‎ ‎ 3 ‎ As a species, we tend to focus on what’s wrong rather than what’s right. But we can benefit a lot from paying attention to what’s going right. Psychologists have shown consciously focusing on these good things helps to increase our experience of positive emotions. ‎ Check your thinking.‎ ‎ 4 Leading psychologist Martin Seligman found that the way we interpret the causes of everyday setbacks can have a significant impact on our ability to cope and our physical health. He also showed we can learn more resilient(有弹性的) thinking styles.‎ Distract yourself. ‎ When we are immersed in a problem, it is hard to think creatively about ways to deal with it. It often helps to take time out from the things you are worrying about. 5 Not only does this give us a break from what we’re doing and our worries, it’s also great for our minds. ‎ A. Always do something that is right.‎ B. It’s true that there are lots of things we can’t control.‎ C. An effective way of taking time out is exercise.‎ D. Next time you are feeling stressed or stuck, give them a try.‎ E. Focus on what’s right.‎ F. Next time something goes wrong for you, pause for a moment.‎ G.

You don’t need to study grammar too much.‎ The first suggestion may sound strange to many students who begin to learn English, but it is exactly important.  　 1 　However, if you want to speak fluently, you should try to speak English without thinking too much of grammar. Studying grammar will only slow you down and make you hesitate. You will think about the grammar rules instead of naturally saying a sentence like a native.‎ ‎2. You can’t translate every word.‎ When you try to speak English, you do not need to translate every word from your mother tongue.  　2　Another problem you may meet is that you will misuse grammar rules that you have learned in your mother language.‎ ‎3. 　3　‎ The reason why many people can learn well is that they often practise. But in order to speak English fluently, you need to practise speaking. When you study, don’t just listen. Speak out loud the material you are listening to and practise what you hear. Practise speaking out loud until your mouth and brain can do it without any effort.　 4 　‎ ‎4. You should study correct material.‎ A phrase you often hear is, ＂Practice makes perfect.＂ This is not completely true. Practice only makes what you are practising permanent. If you practise the incorrect sentence, you will have perfected saying the sentence incorrectly. 　 5 　‎ A. You should try to speak fluently.‎ B. You need to practise speaking what you hear.‎ C. By doing so, you will be able to speak English fluently.‎ D. If you want to pass examinations, you should study grammar well.‎ E. If you listen more, you can speak correctly and fluently sooner or later.‎ F. Therefore, it is important that you study material that is commonly used by most people.‎ G. The order of words is probably completely different and you may be bothslow and incorrect by doing this.‎ ‎【语篇解读】文章介绍几个练习流利英语口语的建议。‎ ‎1.D 【解析】根据下文＂However, if you want to speak fluently, you should try to speak English without thinking 　　　‎ too much of grammar.＂如果你想说得流利，你应该尽量不要想太多的语法。可知这里是：如果你想通过　　‎ 考试，你应该学好语法。故选D。‎ ‎ 2.G【解析】根据上文＂When you try to speak English, you do not need to translate every word from your 　　‎ ‎　　mother tongue.＂当你想说英语的时候，不必用母语逐字翻译。可知这里是：词的顺序可能完全不同，‎ ‎　　这么做可能既慢又不正确。故选G。‎ ‎ 3.B【解析】根据下文＂The reason why many people can learn well is that they often practise.＂很多人学得好的原因是他们经常练习。可知这里是：你需要练习说你听见的。故选B。‎ ‎ 4.C【解析】根据上文＂Practise speaking out loud until your mouth and brain can do it without any effort.＂大声练习说直到你的嘴和大脑能毫不费力地这么做。可知这里是：这么做，你将可能流利地说英语。故选C。‎ ‎5.F【解析】根据上文＂If you practise the incorrect sentence, you will have perfected saying the sentence incorrectly.＂如果你练习不正确的句子，可能你完全错误地说这个句子，可知这里是：学习大部分人普遍使用的材料很重要。故选F。‎ Passage4‎ How to Make Small Talk There’s nothing small about small talk. Many great friendships and relationships have started with small talk. Small talk helps you build a meaningful relationship with a person. 　 1 　If you want to know how to master small talk, just follow these steps.‎ ‎　 2 　If you want to make a person feel comfortable, the best thing to do is to have an ＂open attitude＂ and to direct your body toward that person without being too forceful. Just make eye contact, don’t cross your arms, and face your shoulders toward that person. This will make the person feel like you’re giving him all of your attention.‎ Put away your phone. There’s nothing more annoying than talking to a person who is constantly checking his cellphone.‎ Though you should look eager to talk to the person, don’t look too eager. Don’t lean so close that you scare him away. 　 3 　 ‎ Give a friendly greeting. If you’re seeing someone you already know, just say hello and greet her by her name, ＂Hi, Jen, it’s good to see you.＂ 　 4 　If you don’t know the person, introduce yourself first so you feel more confident and in control of the conversation.‎ ‎　 5 　Just a simple ＂I love your shoes — where did you get them?＂ can get you into a fun conversation about shoe shopping. Even if the praise doesn’t lead anywhere, it will still make the person feel more appreciated before you start discussing other subjects.‎ A. Have friendly body language.‎ B. Focus your attention on their shoes.‎ C. It also benefits you in the professional world.‎ D. Many people are turned off by a close-talker.‎ E. Start with a small compliment.‎ F. You will feel uncomfortable when close to others.‎ G. This is simple and direct and lets the person know you’re excited to talk.‎ ‎【语篇解读】闲聊是一种重要的交际活动,它有助于人们与他人建立起一段有意义的关系, 但是闲聊也需要技巧。‎ ‎1.C 【解析】上文谈到了闲聊可以＂build a meaningful relationship＂,C项中＂also benefits you in the professional world＂与此照应，故选C项，说明闲聊的益处。‎ ‎ 3.D 【解析】上文中的＂Don’t lean so close that you scare him away＂表明不要过分地靠近他人，D项＂近距离交谈者会使许多人感到厌烦＂最能承接上文。‎ ‎ 4.G 【解析】上文举例说明，遇到认识的人要主动向他人问候，G项中的This指代上文的例子，＂lets the person know you’re excited to talk＂说明向他人打招呼的好处。‎ ‎ 5.E 【解析】这是尾段的主题句，尾段举的例子＂I love your shoes＂是对他人的赞美，且下文＂Even if the praise＂中的praise也是提示，故选E项。‎
