专题06 阅读理解12篇（名校最新真题）-2022-2023学年高二英语下学期期中考点大串讲（牛津译林版2020）

专题07 七选五

▲命题特点

七选五阅读正文部分通常是一篇完整的文章，有五个句子被挖空，正文后给出七个选项，均为完整句子，要求考生根据文章结构、内容，选出正确的句子，填入相应的空白处。此题型拓宽了阅读理解能力考 察的深度和广度，考查学生句子和语篇两个层面的阅读能力和领悟能力，以及对整个语篇的衔接手段与连 贯性的洞察力。总之，七选五的题型难度要大于传统的阅读理解题，对学生把握文章结构脉络、逻辑思维 能力和语言综合运用能力，有更高的要求。

▲技巧点拨

1、如果空白处在段首，则答案通常是段落主题句，做题时，应认真阅读本段内容，概括段落大意，查找同义词或其他相关的词，推断出主题句。

    2、如果空白处在段中，段中的空白处多位于段落主题句之后，与上下文构成明显的逻辑关系：如常见的分述细化主题的并列关系、语义发生变化的转折关系，对上诉概念的解释说明、举例论证，这些句子起衔接上下文的作用，因此成为历年高考语篇考查的重中之重。

3、如果空白处在段尾，则答案通常是结论或概括性的语句。空白处前的一句或两句是重点语句，重点阅读以锁定关键词。做题时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。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，即空白处起前后两段过渡作用。

How to Write Short Stories in English

Study these vital steps below and write your own short stories in English.

Create reasonable, detailed characters. Name your characters. Work in their ages and details about their appearance in fine ways. Don’t give us uncertain, shadowy, formless characters. ___1___ Whether they like them or hate them, feel sorry for them or cheer them on, is up to you, the writer.

___2___ Decide on which tense you will use for your main story, and stick to that through-out. Many authors use past tense for their stories. If your story is happening in the present moment, you can use present tense. However, when writers write an entire story in present tense, it can be confusing and off-putting for the reader.

Use believable, brief dialogue. Conversation makes your story come alive. It adds depth to your characters and the readers can understand their feelings through what they say. It’s important to keep your dialogue as natural-sounding as possible, but at the same time, it has to be brief and add to the meaning of the story. ___3___

Your story must make complete sense. ___4___ Then characters must conflict, overcome an obstacle or solve a problem of some sort. Don’t make big plot jumps. Don’t leave out important details. Make sure your story facts are believable and congruent (一致的).

___5___ Will you use the first person, or third person expression? Whichever you choose-stick to it throughout. You can’t, furthermore, refer to your readers as “you”, and then “we” and then “one”. You have to keep the expression consistent, and use the same pronoun and its variants throughout your story.

A．Use the correct tenses.

B．Edit your story carefully.

C．Keep your point of view consistent.

D．So you should make every word count.

E．Above all, things must happen in your story.

F．Generally, your readers need to relate to them.

By the time seawater reaches the senior center, it has flooded streets and over a dozen brick homes. Die moves her head up and down, side to side, taking in the simulated（仿真的）view. This is what could happen to Turner Station, a historic African American community southeast of Baltimore, as sea levels rise.

Climate change presents many challenges to coastal communities and to those trying to prepare for its impacts, but one of the most basic is also one of the most bothersome: ___7___ Communicating the realness and immediacy（紧迫）of the climate threat is hugely important to climate researchers and those aiming to cut down what it causes. But it's also the most important to communities faced with coming changes that are already unavoidable. ___8___ That's why Die and other residents are being directed to sit in metal chairs, put on virtual（模拟）reality headsets and watch their homes be flooded.

But tricking people is not the goal of the sea level rise simulation（模拟）being used at Turner Station, says James, one of the program's developers.

And the amount of kinetic energy in a wave is huge that energy is used to produce electricity. There is also a lot of potential because many countries have access to an ocean that can help power their electric systems.
