1、 题型解析
►考试试题模式
给出一篇缺少5个句子的文章，对应有七个选项，需要同学们依据文章结构、内容，选出正确的句子，填入相应的空白处。《考试说明》对该题型命题目的的表述为“主要考查考生对文章的整体内容和结构与上下文逻辑意义的理解和学会。”
新题型七选五阅读理解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，但他们的考察方法都是一样的，只须考生选择的答案可以使行文连贯，符合英文的语法与习惯表达就好，因此，这两类题型在做题办法上有共通之处。另外，从该题型给出的选项中大家可以发现一些特征：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）和注解性句子（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征来排除，比如主旨概括句要么过于宽泛要么一概而论或偏离主题，过渡性句子不可以反映文章的行文结构，注解性句子与上文脱节等。依据这类，大家总结一些关于七选五的做题办法供大伙参考。
2、 解题方法
►1. 先看选项
跟完形填空不同，七选五的答案选项较少，并且给出的都是句子，因此，大家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地方。另外，通过阅读选项，大概找出跟其它选项表达完全不认可思的句子，如此的话大家就能直接将该选项排除。
►2. 再看空前空后
因为七选五空出的是整个句子，而这类句子与句子之间，势必有一种联系，因此大家可以通过选项中某个名词或动词跟空前或空后的一致性或者有关性来确定这两个句子之间有一种关联性，从而选择正确的答案。
►3.注意代词或定冠词
在做这种题目的时候，必须要注意句子中出现的人称代词或者指示代词，由于大家了解，代词是指代一个名词或者一个句子的，然后通过代词在句子中所做的成分大家可以判断出它指代的句子的种类，大家要做的就是从选项中找这种句型就能了。
►4. 注意特殊疑问词
假如选项中或空前出现特殊疑问词，必须要把这句话仔细读几遍，由于对于不同特殊疑问词的回答方法是不同的，譬如对why的回答，后
面要有because等表缘由的词，对when的回答，后面要有表时间的状语，对where的回答，后面要有表地址的名词，对how的回答，后面要有方法状语等。
►5. 注意连词
如一些表示转折的连词，but, However, yet, though, nevertheless等，另外还有一些表示并列关系的连词如and, also, as well as, neither nor, either or, not only...but also, on one hand....on the other hand等。由于这类连词可以表现句子与句子之间的关系，通过不一样的连词大家可以推知句子与句子之间不一样的关系。

A garden that's just right for you
（新课标全国Ⅱ卷）
Have you ever visited a garden that seemed just right for you, where the atmosphere of the garden appeared to total more than the sum of its parts? 16 . But it doesn't happen by accident. It starts with looking inside yourself and understanding who you are with respect to the natural world and how you approach the gardening process.
● 17
Some people may think that a garden is no more than plants, flowers, patterns and masses of color. Others are concerned about using gardening methods that require less water and fewer fertilizers. 18 . However, there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden. One of them comes from our earliest years.
●Recallyour childhood memories
Our model of what a garden should be often goes back to childhood. Grandma‟s rose garden and Dad‟s vegetable garden might be good or bad, but that‟s not what‟s important. 19 —how being in those gardens made us feel. If you‟d like to build a powerful bond with your garden, start by taking some time to recall the gardens of your youth. 20 , then go outside and work out a plan to translate your childhood memories into your grown-up garden. Have fun.
A. Know why you garden
B. Find a good place for your own garden
C. It‟s our experience of the garden that matters
D. It‟s delightful to see so many beautiful flowers
E. Still others may simply enjoy being outdoors and close to plants
F. You can produce that kind of magical quality in your own garden, too
G. For each of those gardens, writer down the strongest memory you have
【答案】16. F 17. A 18. E 19. C 20. G
18.E 本段前两句提出有的人觉得花园只不过一些花花草草，有的人关心少用水少用废料。本句仍然在说明大家对园艺的不同怎么看。故E项“还有别的人只不过喜欢在户外接触植物”与上下文一致，也是大家对于园艺的看法。
19.C 依据前句“......那些都无关紧要”可知划线句强调的是在园艺中对大家来讲真的要紧的是什么。故C项“要紧的是大家搞园艺的历程”符合上下文串联。
20.G 本部分介绍假如大家自己建一个花园，要回忆一下年轻的时候所看到的那些花园，并把这类花园的优点写下来，然后拟定计划并把我们的计划变成漂亮的花园。故G项与上下文一致。
The Science of Risk-Seeking
（北京卷）
Sometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth tasking. 71 Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work.
The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. 72 As the quality of Risk-taking was passed from on ration to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.
So why aren’t we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one Killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. 73
No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. 74 To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.
Mean taking some risks, so your brain raisers your tolerance for risk as well.
75 For the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.
As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we’ll continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool.
A. It all depends on your character.
B. Those are the risks you should jump to take.
C. Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.
D. Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.
E. This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.
F. However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.
G. New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.

（四川卷）
Both men and women are living longer these days in industrialized countries. 16 In general, they can expect to live six or seven years more than men. One reason for this is biological.
One important biological factor that helps women live longer is the difference in hormones between men and women. 17 Between the ages of about 12 and 50, women produce hormones that are involved in fertility. These hormones also have a positive effect on the heart and blood flow. In fact, women are less likely to have high blood pressure or to die from heart attacks.
18 They help the body defend itself against some kinds of infections. This means that women generally get sick less often and less seriously than men. The common cold is a good example: women, on average, get fewer colds than men.
19 Scientists are still not exactly sure how genes influence aging, but they believe that they do. Some think that a woman’s body cells have a tendency to age more slowly than a man’s. Others think that a man’s body cells have a tendency to age more quickly. 20
A．However, women, on average, live longer.
B .The biological factor plays an important part.
C. Women are also helped by their female genes.
D. The female hormones also protect the body in another way.
E. Recent research seems to support both of these possibilities.
F. Therefore, women are more healthy than men and can live a better life.
G. Hormones are chemicals which are produced by the body to control various body functions.
