We are often ashamed of our shortcomings, our mistakes and our failures.3.You will make mistakes, time and time again.

When you arrive at the weekend itself,there’ll be a short briefing (简报)to review the handbooks contents.4 You’ll see candles on each of the tables. A fire will burn in the fireplace.

高三英语(课标全国卷)阅读理解七选五
高三英语(课标全国卷)阅读理解七选五1. 掌握阅读理解七选五高考考向。
2. 掌握阅读理解七选五答题技巧。
3. 掌握阅读理解七选五位置规律和空格前后逻辑关系。
一、阅读理解七选五思维导图二、七选五六大方略高中英语阅读七选五题型要求考生从整体上把握文章的逻辑结构和内容上的联系,理解句子之间、段落之间的关系,对诸如连贯性、一致性等语段特征有较强的意识和熟练的把握,并具备运用语法知识分析理解长难句的能力。
可以说,此题型是对语言能力和阅读理解能力的综合测试。
从近五年七选五全国卷来看,说明文为主,几乎每年必考,应引起足够重视。
方略一 | 略读文章抓大意以最快的速度跳跃式地浏览文章的大小标题、首段、每段的首句,以及表示句、段关系的连接性词语(特别是however, but等后的内容)等重要部分,以了解文章的基本结构和内容大意。
事实上,一般只需花5~10秒阅读大小标题和第一段首尾句即可。
方略二 | 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。
事实上,如果没有时间来得及通读或细读,或者基础不够扎实即使读也读不懂,建议通过以下技巧,也基本上可以得满分。
方略三 | 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。
方略四 | 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。
同一个词的重复出现叫原词复现;以同义词的形式重复出现,叫同义复现;以近义词或近义表达(意思相近,表达方式不同)的形式重复出现,叫近义复现;以词义相同而词性不同的形式重复出现,叫同根复现。
还有上义词与下义词的复现(adult是teacher, parent的上义词,而teacher, parent就是adult的下义词)。
高考英语阅读七选五题型专项练习10篇(附答案)
Several times each year the Queen gives afternoon tea parties at which guests are served tiny cakes filled with cream from her own cows. Cakes and sandwiches are brought in by footmen, yet you never see the Queen touch a thing. She simply sits beside a big silver plate, pouring cups of tea for everyone and carefully avoiding the cakes.At cocktail parties the Queen moves from group to group, chatting informally, and manages to make one glass of diet(节食)drink to last an entire evening.Tours abroad are difficult because hosts(主人)seem to believe the warmth of their welcome must be shown with wonderful state banquets(宴会). But the Queen has perfected the art of appearing to enjoy her meal without actually eating much.During one visit to the Pacific islands of Tonga, a specially-prepared dinner was arranged in a hut made of wood and bamboo leaves. Deep holes were dug in the ground, filled with hot stones and baby pigs, and the pigs were slowly baked over several days. The Queen looked uneasily at her plate when she discovered a whole roast pig was her serving.Then she became uneasy when a turkey, some meat, bananas and an apple were also carried in for each guest. So she depended on her old favorite trick of talking with her host. , King Tupou IV, carrying on a warm conversation. At the same time she pushed her food around her plate and only ate a piece of turkey and some fruit.Reporters traveling with her have noted that the Queen will sometimes seem so carried away by a foreign leader’s political chat that she simply never has time to finish a meal before it is time to get up and make her speech. She will lift her fork to swallow a mouthful, then put it down again to make another point, leaving almost all of her meal untouched.1. The main idea of the passage is about ____.A. the Queen’s favorite foodB. the Queen’s tours abroadC. how the Queen keeps her diet during her toursD. the Queen’s trouble with a foreign leader2. The Queen talked with her host and carried on conversation with him. The purpose of doing this is ____.A. to show her politenessB. not to eat muchC. to show her great interest in foodD. to hide her dislike to the food3. We can infer from the passage that tours are difficult for the Queen, because ____.A. she has to meet with so many important leadersB. she has to eat much oily foodC. she has so many reporters to travel with herD. hosts always present wonderful state banquets4. What probably is the Queen’s art of acting at state dinnersA. Appearing to enjoy her meal without actually eating much.B. Drinking Malvern water.C. Eating a piece of turkey and some fruit.D. Eating much without being noticed.【答案与解析】1. C解析:文章谈到了食品以及女王的“tours”,但主旨是女王如何“keep her diet”。

根据上文内容“At the top of a second page, put the heading “Acts of kindness.” On this one, list all the positive things you’ve done for others. It might be the time when you helped a friend with their homework, when you did the ironing without being asked, or when you baked cookies after the family had had a tiring day.(在第二页的顶部,写上“善举”的标题。在这张单子上,列出你为别人做过的所有积极的事情。它可能是当你帮助朋友做作业的时候,当你没有被要求却主动熨衣服的时候,或者当你在家人累了一天之后烤饼干的时候。)”可知,本段主要讲述的是列出一些自己所做的好事。选项F“Whatever it is, no matter how small it might seem, write it down.(不管是什么,不管它看起来有多小,都要把它写下来。)”与上文内容一致,讲述的是不管你所做的事情不管有多小,只要是好的事情,都记下来。故选F。

高考英语阅读七选五(附答案)
一、考点精要【授之以渔】近年来,高考的阅读理解增加了七选五题型,试题模式为:给出一篇缺少5个句子的文章,对应有七个选项,要求同学们根据文章结构、内容,选出正确的句子,填入相应的空白处。
该题型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。
《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。
”新题型七选五其实跟传统题型完形填空有相似之处,完形填空空出的是词,而七选五空出的是句子,但是他们的考察方式都是一样的,只要考生选择的答案能够使行文连贯,符合英文的语法以及习惯表达就行,因此,这两类题型在做题方法上有共通之处。
二、解题技巧【名师坐堂】从该题型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。
另外两个多余的干扰项也可以通过这三个特点来排除,例如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,我们总结一些关于七选五的做题方法供大家参考。
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,有可能找出跟其他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.通读全文对文章进行快速浏览,寻找主题句,抓住文章结构及文章的写作内容。
在阅读过程中,要注意文章的开始与结束段落,尤其是文章的首段及末段末句,因为“开门见山”与“结尾总结”的写作方式为常见的写作方式,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。

高考英语《阅读理解+七选五+应用文写作》真题含答案Ⅰ.阅读理解Asouthern Alaska kicked off Fat Bear Week, when fans compare before and after photos of bears to vote for the one they think has gained the most weight before they bed down for the long freezing winter. Bear 747, also known as “Bear Force One”,took the firstplace spot with 68,105 votes. It weighed around 1,400 pounds.Fat Bear Week started in 2014. At first, it was just Fat Bear Tuesday. Mike Fitz, a former park keeper at Katmai, noticed that live webcams showing the bears generated a lot of online comments, so he let people vote for their favorite fat bear on the Internet. The oneday event attracted 1,700 votes. In 2015 , it was extended to a week. Last year, nearly 800,000 people got involved, turning it into a global campaign.The contest serves two main purposes. First, some of America's national parks are in remote and undeveloped areas, which are difficult or costly to reach. Fat Bear Week brings Alaska's wilderness to fans' computer screens. “ It's not limited to the fortunate few who can go to the river anymore,” Fitz said.Second, Fat Bear Week brings attention to the bears and the ecosystems they live in. “ The 2,200 bears of Katmai are strong for feeding on some of the healthiest salmon (三文鱼) in the world,” said Sara Wolman, a former park keeper. Salmon in the Pacific Northwest are suffering from overfishing, dam construction and warming rivers due to climate change. Luckily, Brooks River, which Katmai's bears like to fish in, has been free from these threats so far.Fat Bear Week has spread like viruses. Fans and creators say it's because it shows a conservation success story. For one week, people don't have to focus on climate change or habitat loss. “ Maybe things aren't super great all the time in the world,” said Felicia Jimenez, who is a current Katmai keeper. “ But there are some really fat bears in Alaska. ”【语篇解读】本文介绍了位于阿拉斯加州南部的卡特迈国家公园和自然保护区举办的“胖熊周”活动。

专项练习一For over one hundred and fifty years, Americans of all social classes have worn blue jeans.1 Whether they are worn for work or for fashion today.Strauss' invention continues to be popular not only among Americans but also among people around the world.Levi Strauss was born in Germany in 1829. 2 He grew up in Kentucky before moving to New York in 1847.Before becoming an American citizen and moving to the West in 1853, Strauss worked in his brother's dry goods business.This gave him a chance to produce his famous invention.After the gold rush of 1849, Strauss decided to move to the West to seek his fortunes.Strauss did not want to be a person who searched an area for minerals.Instead, he knew he could make a good living by selling supplies to the miners.At first, he planned to sell sewing supplies and cloth. 3 When he heard miners complaining that their clothes were easily broken or they usually tore their pockets during mining, he decided to use a special fabric to make pants for the miners.These pants proved so popular that he quickly ran out of materials to make more.In 1873, Strauss received a letter from a Jewish tailor named Jacob Davis who had invented a process of connecting pockets with copper rivets(铆钉).This made the pants last a long time.Because Davis did not have the money to patent his idea, he offered to share it with Strauss if Strauss would agree to pay for the patent. 4 .By the time Strauss died in 1902, he had made a great contribution to American fashion.5 The business has been growing ever since and Levi Strauss' company is now one of the largest clothing companies in the world.A.As a young boy, he moved with his family to the United States.B.Nobody knew what kind of material was suitable.C.He did and Levi jeans have been made with metal rivets ever since.D.However, he did not get much business for those products.E.He also made a great contribution to America's clothing industry.F.Since they were invented by Levi Strauss, they have become a symbol of American consumer culture.G.As the business grew, Strauss got much money from it.专项练习二Recently some American scientists have given a useful piece of advice to people in industrialized nations.They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago. 1The scientists say that the human life has changed greatly.Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this had led to new kinds of sicknesses.2 So they are called "diseases of civilization".Many cancers and diseases of the blood system are examples of such diseases.Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco, probably none. 3 However, a change in food is oneof the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today.Stone Age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than domestic ones.They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits.They did not have milk or any other dairy products, and they made very little use of grains. 4 We eat six times more salt than our ancestors.We eat more sugar.We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C.5 But scientists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way the ancient people did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet food.A.Stone Age people lived a simple life.B.But today, we enjoy eating a lot of these.C.In that case, they would live much healthier.D.Ancient people also got lots of physical exercise.E.These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times.F.People today probably don't want to live like our ancestors.G.Modern people used to suffer from "diseases of civilization".专项练习三For the rest of March, a disease will sweep across the US. It will keep kids home from school.1 Employees will suddenly lose their ability to concentrate.The disease, known as “March Madness”, refers to the yearly 65 –team US men’s college basketball tournament (锦标赛). 2 Teams compete against each other in a single – elimination (单局淘汰) tournament that eventually crowns a national champion.Nearly 20 million Americans will find themselves prisoners of basketball festival madness. The fun comes partly from guessing the winners for every game. Friends compete against friends.3 Colleagues against bosses.Big – name schools are usually favored to advance into the tournament. But each year there are dark horses from little – known universities.This adds to the madness. Watching a team from a school with 3,000 students beat a team from a school with 30,000, for many Americans, is an exciting experience. Two years ago, the little – known George Mason University was one of the final four teams. 4College basketball players are not paid, so the game is more about making a name for their university and themselves. 5 About $ 4 billion will be spent gambling (赌) on the event. According to Media Life magazine, the event will bring in $ 500 million in advertising income this year, topping the post – season income of every US professional league, including that of the NBA.A. Husbands against wives.B. The players will go all out for the games.C. But that doesn’t mean money isn’t involved.D. College students will ignore piles of homework.E. People are willing to spend more money on watching it.F. It begins on March 15 and lasts through the beginning of April.G. Many people had never even heard of the university before the tournament.专项练习四Everyone knows that the Frenchmen are romantic, the Italians are fashionable and the Germans are serious. Are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national character And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or failAt least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (企业家) in the UK found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public. Britain is hostile (敌意的) to success, they said. It has a culture of jealousy(嫉妒). 1 Jealousy is sometimes known as the “green –eyed monster” and the UK is its home.Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money. 2 Those given a little were given the chance to destroy the large amount of money given to others – but at the cost of losing their own. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this.3 .But there is also opposite evidence. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently reported that the UK is now the world’s fourth largest economy. That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe. So the British people are not lazy, either.“It is not really success that the British dislike,” says Carey Cooper, a professor of management at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. “It’s people using their success in a way that seems proud or unfair or which separates them from their roots.”4They set out to do things in their way. They work long hours. By their own efforts they become millionaires. 5 .It hardly seems worth following their example. If they were more friendly, people would like them more. And more people want to be like them.A. This seems to prove that the entrepreneurs were right to complain.B.The one who owns most money in the end is the winner.C.As a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were “unloved, unwanted and misunderstood.”D.It is not true that British people are born jealous of others` success.E. Some were given a little, others a great deal.F. But instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them.G. Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem.专项练习五1 When a starving man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when an executive gets a new sports car, visions of country clubs and pleasure beats dance into view.The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. 2 .The first and most basic level of wants involves food. Once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears: clothing and some sort of shelter. By the end of World War II these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. 3 It included such items as automobile sand new houses.By 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared: the “life-enriching”level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction-the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation of the human body-this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement and happiness. It includes a variety of goods andservices, many of which could be called “luxury” items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical care, and entertainment. 4One this level, a greater percentage of consumer spending goes to services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth levelA fifth level probably would involve wants that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime and prejudice. 5 In this way, we can enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.A.Then a third level appeared.B.Human wants seem endless.C.When there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants, another level appears.D.There are several levels of wants in one’s life.E.At this stage, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure.F.Also included here are fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing.G.Different people have different wants on each level.专项练习六We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job. 1 .So, you have to give a speech—and you are terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble(结结巴巴)over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you th ink, “Thank Goodness, it’s over. I’m just not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”Cheep up! 2 . Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion Why are you speaking Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of your time doing your research. Then spend plenty of your time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly. 3 . Don’t talk over their heads, and don’t talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief.4 . And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.If you follow these simple steps, you will see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You’re not convinced yet 5 .A. It doesn’t have to be that bad.B. Take several deep breaths before your speech.C. This article gives some advice on how to give a good speech.D. Say what you have to say and then stop.E. Don’t say what you aren’t familiar with.F. Never forget your audience.G. Give it a try and see what happens.专项练习七There is an English saying:“ 1._.” Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. 2. ___Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. 3._. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated(忍受) the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. 4.___.5.___. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing , making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.A. Laughter can prolong one’s life.B. As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh.C. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish both stress and pain.D. It increases blood pressure, the heart beating and breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach and even the feet.E. Although laughter helps cure the disease, doctors still can not put this theory into clinic practice.F. Laughter is the best medicine.G. They have found that laughter really can improve people’s health.专项练习八Why do some people have many friends while others do not 1 However, it is not so. Let’s look at two psychological experiments which will give you the key to happy interpersonal relations.The first experiment is called the “Hawthorne effect” after Hawthorne, Illinois, where the experiment took place. A group of psychologists examined the work patterns of two groups of workers in the Western Electric Company. 2 .The psychologists changed the working conditions for one group twice but left the other group alone. They were surprised to find that productivity increase on both occasions and in both groups. They concluded that the increase in productivity came from the attention given to the workers by the management. It had increased their motivation (主动性) and so they had worked harder. In other words, if you take an interest in others ,they will want to please you and you will have good relations with them.3 After Martin Luther King, Jr was killed in the 1960s, a teacher, Jane Elliott, living in an all –white town decided to help her class of young children understand why the Civil Rights Movement had been necessary in America.She divided the class into two groups: one with blue eyes and the other with brown eyes. Other eye colours such as hazel or green were excluded from his exercise. Then she told the class that brown – eyed people were cleverer than blue – eyed ones because of an agent (化学作用) for brown colour found in their blood. Blue – eyed people were stupid, lazy and not to be trusted. Jane Elliott did not need to say any more. The brown – eyed students quickly got used to their new role as the leaders of the class. The blue –eyed students became quiet and withdrawn. Then she discovered something very interesting. Four poor brown – eyed readers began to read fluently in a way they had never done before. 4 .So if you want to be successful and happy, take an interest in others whether they are your classmates or workmates. Congratulate them on their successes and sympathize(怜悯) with them in their troubles. 5 .A. Before the experiment the management talked to both groups of workers and explained that they wanted to find the best working environment for them.B. Remember that the way you treat others will decide their attitude and behaviour to you.C. The second experiment shows what happens to personal relations if you are rude to or ignore(忽视)others.D. The ones who have more friends usually are those who care about others.E. Jane Elliott had shown that the way people are treated affects not only their behaviour but also their confidence and their performance.F.You may even imagine that this ability was something they were born with because it seems so effortless to them.G. The second experiment tells us what teachers said has a great effect on the students.专项练习九The seven Cs of a good letterWhat is the secret of writing a good letter Here are two main ones.

高考阅读七选五练习原文及练习含答案高考英语复习
高考阅读七选五练习Music has long been considered to be an enjoyable pastime for many people.1 The mental health benefits from music can’t be argued.Music could also be helping you with many other health problems behind the scenes.2However,for the same reason,music can be very beneficial if one is in pain.By distracting(分心、)the mind from the pain,music,people say,can lower stress and anxiety levels.This,of course,can lead to less pain.Many people enjoy relaxing music in the evening prior to going to bed.3While the validity of the idea is still being assessed,the lowered stress can even be tied back to blood pressure.Similarly,according to researchers,listening to just30minutes of soft music every day may help with healthy blood sugar levels,through the lowering of stress and anxiety.When it comesto heart health,there is speculation(推测)that it’s not the style of music,but rather the tempo that makes it so good for your heart health.In one European study,participants listened to music as the researchers monitored their heart rates and blood pressure.4On the other hand,when the music slowed,the participants’stress and anxiety levels became lower and the effects on heart rates appeared to follow suit.5But there is a whole range of other health issues that turning up the radio could be beneficial for,which is what makes music so valuable.A.This feeling can also result in many other health problems.B.Some experts say that music can be harmful if it is too loud.C.This idea is a little off-the-wall but still has scientific backing.D.They say it can play a big role in calming the brain enough to sleep.E.The implications of music on overall well-being are really impressive.F.It is also highly popular due to the individualized effects on stress and anxiety.G Interestingly,the more cheerful the music was,the faster their heart rates were.

【综合练习】第一篇The Value of TearsTears can ruin make-up, bring conversation to a stop, and give you a runny nose. Tears leave you embarrassed and without energy. Still, crying is a fact of life, and your tears are very useful. Even when you're not crying, they make a film over the eye's surface. 36When tears fall, they reduce stress. But we tend to fight them for all sorts of reasons. “People worry about showing their emotions(情绪), afraid that once they lose control they'll never get it back.” 37 After we cry, the feelings that caused the tears often disappear.Sometimes people become much stressed and can't cry. Whatever emotion they are feeling—shock, anger, fear, or sadness—is being held back.But everyone has the need to cry. Psychologist Vera Diamond explains that her treatment often consists of giving people permission to cry. 38 Patients practice crying just to become used to expressing emotions.
