-：題型解析

七選五的設(shè)空位置無非就段首；段中以及段尾；設(shè)空位置不同考查學(xué)生的能力也有所不

同；段首主要考查有以下三個方面：段尾句作為總結(jié)句；總結(jié)概括全段的內(nèi)容；其次；段尾

句充當(dāng)承上啟下的作用；承接本段前一句；引出下段第一句；最后；作為承接句；與倒數(shù)第

二句形成因果關(guān)系.

解題方向：

1.總結(jié)概括句

做題時一要注意設(shè)空的前一句或前兩三句；二要注意在選項(xiàng)中查找thus,therefore,hence,

so,asaresult,inaword,inshort,toconclude,tosumup等表示結(jié)果、結(jié)論、總結(jié)的詞語；三要

注意與前文的邏輯關(guān)系，找到關(guān)鍵的線索詞句，如表示轉(zhuǎn)折、并列、排比等關(guān)系。如果在文

章第一段的段尾設(shè)空，要認(rèn)真閱讀看此處是細(xì)節(jié)還是主題。通常文章的第一段要提出主題，

如果在段尾提出主題，常用一些信號詞（如轉(zhuǎn)折詞）引出來，正確答案中應(yīng)有這樣的信號詞。

2.承上啟下（過渡）句

做題時如果在選項(xiàng)中找不出與前文之間的關(guān)聯(lián)，此時要考慮與下一段開頭是否有銜接，

要認(rèn)真閱讀下一段的開頭幾句，看是否能緊密聯(lián)系起來。

3.因果關(guān)系承接

因果關(guān)系承接是考查最多的內(nèi)容；也是易錯點(diǎn)；此時考查的是倒數(shù)第二句與最后一句的

因果關(guān)系；而非全段的總結(jié)概括；所以做題時應(yīng)該細(xì)心注意.

解題技巧：

（1）總結(jié)句

解題技巧：通常是結(jié)論、概括性語句，做題時注意要閱讀前文，總結(jié)前文內(nèi)容。另外，

注意查找表示結(jié)論、結(jié)果等信號詞，通過文意對應(yīng)和信號詞解題。

⑵引起下文

解題技巧：在首段結(jié)尾，或者文章最后一段的末尾，往往會出現(xiàn)引起下文、承上啟下或

者引起讀者思考的句子。

(3)文章細(xì)節(jié)

解題技巧：根據(jù)段落一致性原則，在原文和選項(xiàng)中找到相關(guān)的特征詞，通常在選項(xiàng)中會

出現(xiàn)表示并列/遞進(jìn)關(guān)系的關(guān)聯(lián)詞或與前文類似的句式結(jié)構(gòu)，或出現(xiàn)同義詞等其他信號線索。

前面的一句與正確答案的第一句是緊密相連的。要特別注意閱讀這樣相連的兩句，通常會找

到關(guān)鍵的線索詞句。
