Answer 1

【答案】

【1】G

【2】F

【3】C

【4】D

【5】E

【解析】

本文是說明文，介紹了美國學校精神周的目的和各種慶�；顒�。

【1】此題是詞匯推測。根據(jù)下一句have one primary goal和That goal is to…可知，此段說的是學校精神周的目的。選項G意為：精神周的主要目的是讓孩子們支持學校。primary goal和選項G中的main purpose 是同義詞復現(xiàn)。故選G 項。

【2】此題是代詞指代和邏輯線索。此段是說明精神周的目的。選項F意為：這也是確認在那個賽季中參加比賽的運動隊時候。選項F也是說明精神周的目的之一，其中it 指代Spirit Week，also表示遞進關(guān)系。故選F項。

【3】此段談?wù)摰氖蔷�神周的各種活動。空前一句談?wù)摰氖?/span>“學生通過穿識別性的服裝表示對學校的支持”，空后一句提到Monday …Tuesday's Hawaiian shirt day…Wednesday's silly T-shirt day..Thursday… Friday's school colors day可知， 學生一周中每天著裝不一樣。選項C意為：他們一周中的每一天都可以穿不同的。選項C是承上啟下。故選C 項。

【4】選項D意為： 孩子們不是唯一為精神周打扮的人；下文提到“學生用橫幅、海報和其他裝飾品裝飾墻壁、大廳和教室”。選項D中be dressed up 和下一句decorate意思相近。是詞匯復現(xiàn)。故選D 項。

【5】空前一句提到“因為父母也喜歡精神周”；選項E意為：看到孩子們對學�；顒映錆M熱情，他們非常高興。選項E說明父母喜歡精神周的原因。故選E項。

七選五做題技巧

1. 略讀文章抓大意

即以最快的速度跳躍式地瀏覽文章的大小標題、首段、每段的首句，以及表示句、段關(guān)系的連接性詞語，如however, but等詞后的內(nèi)容，以了解文章的基本結(jié)構(gòu)和內(nèi)容大意。

如此篇文章可以跳躍式地瀏覽文章，會發(fā)現(xiàn)每一小段的首句就是該小段的主題句。第一段是主題是“學校舉行精神周”，第二段主題是“精神周的目的”，第三段主題是“精神周的活動”。

2. 重點閱讀上下句

因為正確選項必定會與上下句之間語義銜接、邏輯通順，解題時大多只看上句，或只看下句，就可基本確定答案。

如第3小題，空前一句談?wù)摰氖?/span>“學生通過穿識別性的服裝表示對學校的支持”，空后一句談?wù)摗皩W生一周每天穿的不同的衣服”。選項C是承上啟下，從而推斷出選項。

3. 詞語復現(xiàn)顯神功

上下文與主題相關(guān)的詞語通常會以原詞、同義詞、近義詞、同根詞或同范疇詞等形式在上下文中重復出現(xiàn)。

如第1小題此題線索是詞匯復現(xiàn)。空后一句中的primary goal和選項G中的main purpose 是同義詞復現(xiàn)，從而確定選項。

值得注意的是，有的題利用詞語復現(xiàn)解題十分管用，但這并不意味著凡與上句或下句有復現(xiàn)詞的選項就一定是正確選項，只是正確的可能性更大，在解題過程中需重點考慮或優(yōu)選考慮而已。是否為正確答案，還得將含復現(xiàn)詞的選項代入原文，看該選項與上下文是否真的銜接，只有上下銜接緊密的才是正確選項。

4. 代詞、邏輯亦管用

七選五就是考查上下文之間的銜接，而代詞和邏輯是語篇銜接的重要手段之一，故解題中要善于利用這些銜接手段。

如第2小題，選項F中，it 指代Spirit Week，also表示遞進關(guān)系。代詞指代和邏輯可以幫助確定選項。
