閱讀理解“七選五”試題也可稱為閱讀填句,在《普通高中英語課程標(biāo)準(zhǔn)(2017年版2020年修訂)》(以下簡稱《課程標(biāo)準(zhǔn)》)中被稱為句子還原題,《課程標(biāo)準(zhǔn)》中對(duì)于該題型是這樣描述的:“短文中的若干個(gè)句子(如五個(gè)句子)被摘出,打亂順序后與另外兩個(gè)句子置于短文之后??忌鶕?jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的七個(gè)句子中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。此題型主要考查學(xué)生理解語篇上下文邏輯關(guān)系的能力?!痹擃}型不僅要求考生能夠理解語篇內(nèi)容,還要求考生能夠理解上下文邏輯關(guān)系,注重對(duì)語篇結(jié)構(gòu)的考查。
解答閱讀理解“七選五”,除了用“看位置,析邏輯”的方法外,還可以用詞語復(fù)現(xiàn)法解答部分題目。在“七選五”的語篇中,“前言”和“后語”之間往往出現(xiàn)相同的單詞、同義詞、近義詞、反義詞、同根詞、上下義詞及表示指代關(guān)系的代詞,這就為學(xué)生答題提供了依據(jù),解題時(shí)就可以利用這些詞語的復(fù)現(xiàn)來確定答案。
一個(gè)單詞在一個(gè)語義場中以同樣的形式反復(fù)出現(xiàn),有時(shí)兼有詞形的變化。如:上文中出現(xiàn)的“says”與下文中的“said”可以看作原詞復(fù)現(xiàn)。解題時(shí)可以通過前后句中相同的關(guān)鍵詞選擇句子。

38This is often appreciated since at a housewarming there isn’t a lot of food served.There are usually no planned activities like games at a housewarming party.The host or hostess of the party will, however, probably give all the guests a tour of their new home.Sometimes, because a housewarming party happens shortly after a person moves into their new home, people may be asked to help unpacked boxes.This isn’t usual though.

詞語復(fù)現(xiàn)是語篇銜接的重要手段,而閱讀理解“七選五”正是考查語篇銜接的試題。任何一篇文章都是圍繞某一話題展開的,與該話題相關(guān)的詞語會(huì)以原詞、同義詞、近義詞、反義詞、同根詞等方式出現(xiàn),或者利用代詞的指代關(guān)系來顯示線索。從上面的高考英語真題可知,閱讀理解“七選五”的命題原則之一就是借助于詞匯線索,因此,學(xué)生在答題時(shí)要緊緊把握這條線索。同時(shí),教師要指導(dǎo)學(xué)生利用詞匯線索突破閱讀理解“七選五”試題,提高學(xué)生對(duì)文本信息的理解和處理能力,指導(dǎo)學(xué)生掌握基本的解題技巧,從而提升考試成績。
As a country boasting a vast territory and encompassing a large population, people in many places of China speak their own dialects.Dialects vary greatly in pronunciation but slightly in vocabulary and grammar.Some dialects, especially those from the north and the south, are so different that their speakers often have trouble understanding each other.Although dialects are considered as an integral part of the local culture, the number of people who can speak them has been undergoing a continuous decline in recent years.In order to encourage people to speak local dialects more often, some local governments have taken measures such as setting up dialect courses and broadcasting dialect programs on radio and TV, with a hope to preserve the local cultural heritage.
