阅读还原（7选5）该题型要求考生阅读完一篇文章后,从题目给出的几个句子中选择正确选项,将其字母序号填入空白处,使文章意思完整。

通常故事情节有较明确的时间线索。

首尾句通常不设空,设空以逻辑关系为线索,侧重补充完整后文章情节的合理性。

考生在做此类题时要关注各句子之间逻辑关系的种类,如并列、递进、转折、因果等,并能熟练掌握表达各种逻辑关系的关键词,如and, besides, but/however, because或so等,最终能利用已掌握的逻辑关系知识将文章还原。

在阅读句子还原题给出的选项中我们可以发现一些特点:该题型选项大致可分为主旨概括句(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。

另外,多余的干扰项也可以通过这三个特点来排除,例如,在干扰项中,主旨概括句要么过于宽泛,要么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。

根据这些,我们总结一些做题方法供大家参考。

1.寻找顺序词例First, look for color. Some minerals are light in color,....Some minerals shine brightly. Others may look smooth. Still others may have shining luster, like the inside of some seashells.Third, look for how the mineral breaks apart.解析根据文章每段的段首,可以找到First,Third这样的顺序词,由此可以推断此题的句子开头为Second,所以答案为A。

答案A2.注意上下文中相关联的词例and if the teacher uses it carefully,the children can understand it.解析此题用and连接了两个并列的成分,and后为if引导的从句,因此猜测前面也是if引导的从句,然后把D选项带入文章中,经检查语义和后面的句子紧密相连,所以答案为D。

Most American children are taught to compete, through organized sports and education, as well as speak out their minds and have confidence to stand up for what they believe in.④__________ Many immigrant families also feature several generations living under one roof, with younger family members respecting the elders’ needs and valuing their opinions.When people from different cultures get married and have children, they may have issues when it comes to maintaining their unique traditions and mixing shared customs at the same time. ⑤__________ However, with a little effort, children in these families can benefit fromhaving both outlooks and traditions.

When I stepped onto the elevator, each one was full of people. ①___________ However, there was no sign of fire and people were laughing and talking. I followed the flow of the crowd to the doors of the canteen. It occurred to me that in China everyone has lunch almost at the same time. ②___________ The canteen followed this schedule, only being open a few hours per day.When I stood in the doorway, I realized I had to act fast or I would be left behind. ③___________ Unlike my school lunchroom, here everyone lined up and took a tray, and instead of silverware there were chopsticks and soup spoons.As I was pushed along the line, I saw dishes I didn't recognize and as people cut in line and picked up dishes left and right, ④___________ I ended up taking a pork and cucumber dish and a tofu salad.I have been at my company for over a year and a half. ⑤___________ I have learned what dishes I like, mostly by trial and error, and a lot of the workers know me and say hello to me.I am still getting used to eating lunch at "lunchtime", but I think the schedule definitely helps keep me on track during the day.

In Welsh , it rains not cats and dogs , but old wives and walking sticks.The Endangered Language Alliance wants to save languages from disappearing. ④__________However,its efforts are limited. If an endangered language is going to make a real comeback, it ' ll probably get its start in schools. For nearly 100 years, public schools inHawaii did not teach the Hawaiian language. Now students can keep learning in Hawaiian from elementary schools to college and beyond.⑤__________ At least one did. In 1881, a Jewish linguist named Eliezer Ben-Yehuda brought the 3 ,000-year-old language Hebrew back to life. Today it is one of the official languages of the country of Israel,with more than 4 million speakers.A. The last person who spoke it died in 2008.B. Why should we save endangered languages?C. Various animals and plants benefit our environment.D. With just 5 speakers left,it is absolutely endangered.E. Can a language with zero native speakers come back to life?F.
