2015高考英语考前冲刺40天：16 七选五

考前冲刺卷(一)第Ⅰ卷第一部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

ADave Bruno works as an online marketing manager.Several years ago，one weekend Bruno and his family did a major house clean-up and then donated several bags of unneeded items to the local Goodwill store.“After all were done，I looked around and realized that I still had too much stuff，”says Bruno，“It occurred to me that maybe I wanted to lead a simple life but in reality I behaved differently.”That realization prompted the 39-year-old father of three to try an experiment“The 100 Things Challenge”．With the goal of breaking free of what he calls a “bad habit of consumerism”，Bruno was determined to live for one year with just 100 personal items.He cut down his possessions to 94 items，including a Bible，laptop，guitar，wedding ring，car and clothes.He created some guidelines for the experiment since his wife and daughters did not participate，family-shared and household items did not count as personal items.He also grouped together some basic things such as underwear and socks.Bruno began blogging about his new lifestyle and eventually wrote a book，The 100 Things Challenge：How I Got Rid of Almost Everything，Remade My Life，and Regained My Soul.Since completing the experiment，Bruno has continued to live by the motto：reduce，refuse，and rearrange and maintains just 100 personal things.“Nearly three years of living with a minimal amount of personal possessions，I’m no longer in the habit of consuming for the sake of consumption(消费)，”he wrote in his blog last week，“That has freed me up for all sorts of better endeavors than shopping—like spending time with family and writing a book and planning for business opportunities.”Bruno’s project has also inspired others to live minimally，many of whom post their own 100 Things Challenge updates on YouTube.“The reality is that the 100 Things Challenge is surprisingly easy，”says Bruno，“I’m not saying there were no challenges or disappointments.I miss some things，but not that much.Frankly，it’s far easier to live with less stuff than with excessive trash.”1．What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 1?A．Bruno regretted to have an easy life.B．Bruno had a special behavior in reality.C．Bruno and his family led a happy life.D．Bruno would have liked a life with fewer items.答案 D解析句意猜测题。

高考英语七选五技巧高考英语七选五技巧1、先看选项跟完形填空不一样，七选五的答案选项较少，并且给出的都是句子，因此，我们可以通过句子的完整性或者句子后面的标点符号来判断该句在文章中的位置。

另外，通过阅读选项，有可能找出跟其它选项表达完全不同意思的句子，这样的话我们就可以直接将该选项排除。

2、再看空前空后由于七选五空出的是整个句子，而这些句子与句子之间，必然有一种联系，因此我们可以通过选项中某个名词或动词跟空前或空后的一致性或者相关性来确定这两个句子之间有一种关联性，从而选择正确的答案。

3、注意选项中的人称代词和指示代词因为我们知道，代词是指代一个名词或者一个句子的，人称代词有 it、he、she、they、her、him、them，指示代词有 this、these、that、those等，我们要做的就是确定选项中的代词指代文章中哪部分内容就可以了，以此来判断选项应处于文章什么位置。

4、注意空前空后句子中的人称代词和指示代词明确空前空后句中代词所指内容，以此来判断出正确选项。

5、注意一些特殊疑问词如果选项中或空前出现特殊疑问词，一定要把这句话仔细读几遍，因为对于不同特殊疑问词的回答方式是不一样的，比如对why的回答，后面要有because 等表原因的词，对when的回答，后面要有表时间的状语，对where的回答，后面要有表地点的名词，对how的回答，后面要有方式状语等。

6、注意一些连词有四类连词，分别表示句与句之间的并列、转折、因果和选择关系。

表示并列关系的连词有and，also，as well as，neither...nor...，not only...but also...等;表示转折关系的连词有but，however，yet，though，nevertheless，on one hand...，on the other hand等;表示因果关系的连词有so、thus、therefore、and和for;表示选择关系的连词有either...or...，or，otherwise等。

高考英语七选五解题方法+技巧“七选五怎么选？”这是让很多同学脑阔疼的一道题，选项都是干扰项，逻辑理不清，怎么选都选不对，甚至还有全错的时候。

其实七选五是送分题，只要掌握了正确的答题方法，拿满分是完全可以的。

今天我给大家带来了七选五解题方法+技巧，教你秒选正确答案！七选五六大解题策略1.略读文章抓大意以最快的速度跳跃式地浏览文章，以了解文章的基本结构和内容大意。

一般只需花5～10秒阅读大小标题和第一段首尾句即可。

2.重点阅读上下句因为正确选项必定会与上下句之间语义衔接、逻辑通顺，解题时大多只看上句，或只看下句，就可基本确定答案。

3.看看结构变轻松在解题过程中，除了每做一道有把握的题后就在7个选项中将其画掉缩小范围外，通过观察语言结构也可将选择范围大大缩小，心情变得更加轻松，一般可将7个选项缩小到2～4个选项，碰对的机率大大提高。

(1)标题结构如果考查段落标题，先看看其他标题的语言形式，同一文章中的几个段落小标题基本上是同一语言形式。

如果其他标题是名词短语，该题答案也是名词短语；如果其他标题是祈使句，该题的答案也是祈使句。

(2)句子结构如果正确选项只是某个句子的一个部分，就要看看空后这个部分是不是句子，如果是句子，看看是否有连词，如果没有连词，要选的正确选项就应是短语或是带有连词的从句。

如：4.词语复现显神功作者或说话人在谈论某个话题或主题时，与主题相关的词语必定会以原词、同义词或近义词等形式在上下文中重复出现，这种现象叫词语复现。

词语复现是语篇衔接的一个重要手段，而七选五正是考查语篇衔接，因此，利用词语复现解七选五十分管用。

在近五年的8套全国新课标卷共40道题中有13道题利用这一招可直接选出答案，利用这一招可将选项缩小到2个选项的还有5道，也就是说，平均起来，几乎有一半的题仅用这一招就可解决。

如：5.代词逻辑亦管用七选五就是考查上下文之间的衔接，而代词是语篇衔接的重要手段之一，故解题中要善于利用这一衔接手段。

And the finding of “high mood” tendency for those born in summer is quite interesting.”8．According to the findings, people with a hyperthymic temper .A．are 1ess likely to be irritableB．tend to be extremely positiveC．have frequent mood swingsD．tend to suffer from depression9．Which of the following does Gonda agree with?A．The birth season is likely to have a long-lasting effect．B．There’re genetic markers related to mood swings．C．When you’re born has no connection with personality types.D．Environmental factors may not be involved in one’s temper．10．Why are Roy Keane and the Duchess of Cambridge mentioned in the text?A．Because they suffer from mood swings．B．Because they have a good temperC．Because they’re used as supporting facts．D．Because they’re best-known personalities.11．What is the key information the author wants to give in the last paragraph?A．The season of birth also affects your mood in life．B．Genes and the environment are connected with your temper．C．Genes and the environment are the decisive factors in your mood．D．The finding of” high mood”tendency is not easy to understand·DOn Sunday．the eldest resident of Dharnai, India, flipped a switch and the village officially joined the age of electricity. But Dhamai, in India’s northeastern Bihar State，did more than join a reliable energy grid(网)一it became India’s first village powered entirely by solar electricity．A few months ago，Greenpeace and two other NGOs(Non-Governmental Organization) that work in the area started building a solar power micro—grid to serve the village，and after a few months of testing，the autonomous 100 kilowatt system officially went online this past weekend.The Dharnai grid about 450 homes，housing 2，400 residents, Greenpeace says，as well asroughly 50 businesses，streetlights，water pumps，two schools，a health care center，and other public and private ventures. It has a battery to store excess electricity，for use during the sunless hours.Germany’s reaching the milestone of(at least briefly)meeting more than half its electricity needs through solar power is probably a bigger feat，but projects like this in India and China will do more in the long term to counter the harmful climate effects of fossil fuel consumption.And bringing reliable electricity to a town or village for the first time feels like a much bigger deal than switching from nuclear to solar power．It changes every aspect of life，from safety and health to entertainment and economic progress..12．Which is not a correct statement about Dharnai?A．Gone are the days when there was no electricity there．B．It has become the first solar—powered village in India．C．It used to be powered by electricity from nuclear plants．D．It is currently using a reliable energy grid.13．From the passage, we may know the Dhamai grid .A．serves many other villages in India B．was built by the local governmentC．only provides families with power D．can store excess electricity just in case 14．What is implied in the last paragraph?A．Dharnai now faces no safety and health problems．B．Thanks to solar energy，the economy of the Indian village will grow to a certain degree．C．Switching from nuclear to solar energy is something that matters so much to DharnaiD．The entertainment industry in the village will get bigger，15．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．A village in India now runs entirely on solar power．B．A solar power grid has been built in India．C．India has a long way to go in using solar power．D．Solar power is a kind of reliable energy．第二节：七选五How to Start a BusinessUnemployment rate is so high in present society that many young people are thinking about starting their own business.

专题十六七选五高考精萃Passage 1(2014·北京卷)Evaluating Sources of Health InformationMaking good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation. A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of health information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to find relevant information, how to separate fact from opinion, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources. __1__Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determine whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study. __2__Watch for misleading language. Some studies will fi nd that a behavior “contributes to” or is “associated with” an outcome; this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result. __3__ Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it.Use your common sense. If a report seems too good to be true, probably it is. Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements. __4__ Evaluate “scientific” statements carefully, and be aware of quackery(江湖骗术)．__5__ Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration, but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us.Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about health problems will serve you well throughout your life.A．Make choices that are right for you.B．The goal of an ad is to sell you something.C．Be sure to work through the critical questions.D．And examine the findings of the original research.E．Distinguish between research reports and public health advice.F．Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author's point of view.G．The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources.答案与解析本文为说明文。

Building Trust in a Relationship AgainTrust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences. _____36______ Trust is a risk. But you can’t be successful when there’s a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake.Unfortunately, we’ve all been victims of betrayal. Whether we’ve been stolen from, lied to , misled, or cheated on, there are different levels of losing trust. Sometimes people simply can’t trust anymore. ____37______It’s understandable, but if you’re willing to build trust in a relationship again, we have some steps you can take to get you there.◆ ____38_______ having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best outcome would be for your well-being.◆_____39______ If you’ve been betrayed, you are the victim of your circumstance. But there’s a difference between being a victim and living with a “victim mentality”. At some point in all of our lives, we’ll have our trust tested or violated.◆ You didn’t lose “everything”. Once trust is lost, what is left? Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle, look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life. ______40________Instead, it’s a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness.A. Learn to really trust yourself.B. It is putting confidence in someone.C. Stop regarding yourself as the victim.D. Remember that you can expect the best in return.E. They’ve been too badly hurt and they can’t bear to let it happen again.F. This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships.G. Seeing the positive side of things doesn’t mean you’re ignoring what happened.Secret codes (密码)keep messages private. 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.If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping. I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insects bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me.36 .The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer. 37 We slept in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom. This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor’s bill for my son’s food poisoning.I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness. 38 Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life.39 We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains.40 It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I recommend that you find your way in style.A. This time there was no tent.B. Things are going to be improved.C. The trip they took me on was a rough one.D. I was to learn a lot about camping since then,however.E. I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping.F. After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping.G. There was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall.Color is fundamental in home design – something you’ll always have in every room. A grasp of how to manage color in your spaces is one of the first steps to creating rooms you’ll love to live in. Do you want a room that’s full of life? Professional? Or are you just looking for a place to relax after a long day? 36 , color is the key to making a room feel the way you want it to feel.Over the years, there have been a number of different techniques to help designers approach this important point. 37 , they can get a little complex. But good news is that there’re really only three kinds of decisions you need to make about color in your home: the small ones, the medium ones, and the large ones.38 . They’re the little spots of color like throw pillows, mirrors and baskets that most of us use to add visual interest to our rooms. Less tiring than painting your walls and less expensive than buying a colorful sofa, small color choices bring with them the significant benefit of being easily changeable.Medium color choices are generally furniture pieces such as sofas, dinner tables or bookshelves.39 . They require a bigger commitment than smaller ones, and they have a more powerful effect on the feeling of a space.The large color decisions in your rooms concern the walls, ceilings, and floors. Whether you’re looking at wallpaper or paint, the time, effort and relative expense put into it are significant.40 .A. While all of them are usefulB. Whatever you’re looking forC. If you’re experimenting with a colorD. Small color choices are the ones we’re most familiar withE. It’s not really a good idea to use too many small color piecesF. So it pays to be sure, because you want to get it right the first timeG. Color choices in this range are a step up from the small ones in two major waysIs Fresh Air Really Good for You?We all grew up hearing people tell us to “go out and get some fresh air.” 36 According to recent studies, the answer is a big YES, if the air quality in your camping area is good.37 If the air you’re breathing is clean—which it would be if you’re away from the smog of cities—then the air is filled with life-giving, energizing oxygen. If you exercise out of doors, your body will learn to breathe more deeply，allowing even more oxygen to get to your muscles（肌肉）and your brain.Recently, people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing （治愈）. 38 In these places patients can go to be near nature during their recovery. It turns out that just looking at green, growing things can reduce stress, lower blood pressure，and put people into a better mood（情绪）.Greenery is good for us. Hospital patients who see tree branches out their window are likely to recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead. 39 It gives us a great feeling of peace.40 While the sun's rays can age and harm our skin, they also give is beneficial Vitamin D. To make sure you get enough Vitamin D—but still protect your skin— put on sunscreen right as you head outside. It takes sunscreen about fifteen minutes to start working, and that's plenty of time for your skin to absorb a day's worth of Vitamin D.A. Fresh air cleans our lungs.B. So what are you waiting for?C. Being in nature refreshes us.D. Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight.E. But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said?F. Just as importantly, we tend to associate air with health care.G. All across the country, recovery centers have begun building Healing Gardens.A Few Tips for Self-AcceptanceWe all want it to accept and love ourselves. But at times it seems too difficult and too far out of reach. 36 Here’s a handful of ways that will set you in the right direction.● 37 Do not follow the people who make you feel not-good-enough. Why do you follow them? Are you hoping that eventually you will feel empowered because your life is better than theirs? Know that your life is your own; you are the only you in this world.●Forgive yourself for mistakes that you have made. We are often ashamed of our shortcomings, our mistakes and our failures. 38 You will make mistakes, time and time again. Rather than getting caught up in how you could have done better, why not offer yourself a compassionate (有同情心) response? “That didn’t go as planned.
