题型简介
七选五是英语高考试卷中的一个重要题型，分为正文和选项两个部分，正文通常是250 词左右的短文，文中有5个句子被挖空，正文后给出七个选项，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。《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以及上下文逻辑意义的理解和掌握。备选项中，个别选项间区分度不大，干扰性强，这就增加了题型的难度。如果不小心误选一题，就有可能造成连带效应，出现几个错误。总的来说，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。02
命题走向
分析历年高考真题可发现，七选五题型考查体裁，以说明文占比最高，议论文次之，而记叙文考查较少。因为说明文和议论文问题结构比较清晰，适合考查标题概括、主题句、过渡句等，从而考查学生对行文结构、脉络层次的综合分析能力。03
解题步骤
01
阅读文章第一段，提取关键信息，即名词+动词，舍去多余的形副表达，在读不太明白的前提下，切勿过多加入额外信息。02
观察空所在位置，特别关注小标题、段首句、特殊标点等；03
研究选项，非必要无需逐字逐词翻译，但要学会提取关键信息，包括名词、代词、数词等，不要过多纠结形副修饰词，动词可以关注，但不要太过。
04
初步判断干扰选项的可能，如相似句式，含相同关键词等；05
返回文中，从小标题、段首句、特殊标点处开始做题，其次是段中，段尾，最后才是首段。06行业现状
段尾句做题时，先观察小标题，再观察空前句；07行业现状
做题时，一定做到全局把控，心有说明结构图谱。歌诀：先圈后划再整合，预判可以死变活。文字线索与逻辑，逐一分析不错过。代词这个好家伙，前后左右无定所。拓展思路必学技，满分怎能没把握。

解题技巧
口诀一
如果选项里有Here（There）be, 答案一定是第一题。
解释：七选五的文章多数是说明文，说明文的结构是“总—分”或者是“总—分—总”结构。首段尾句通常用Here/There be …. tips / skills / ways / method等起到引领全文的作用。因此第一段最后一句设空，如果选项中有 Here / There be tips / suggestions / advice（建议），ways（方法），methods（方法），skills（技巧），strategies(策略)等。这是七选五第一题（36题）的答案。
句式：
1. Here / There / The following are...tips / skills / ways / methods ...
2.These tips / The following suggestions may help you…
注意：根据先易后难的原则，优先确定该题答案。
例：安徽合肥一中2024高二期中
It can be a wonderful and satisfying experience to have rouimmatce to share a home with. Living with others can often help you develop cluse relationships and learn some life skills along the way.__1__.
A. Respect yourself
B. Keep things clean and organised
C.You can create an open-door policy
D. It is also wise to be mindful of noise levels
E. Here are practical tips on how to be a good roommate
F. Living with others can lead to disagreements and arguments
G. Being a good roommate is more than making your rent payments on time
答案：1.E解析：根据第一段内容以及全文的结构可知,第一段引出话题，讲到了与他人一起居住的好处,下文对应几个小标题,介绍了成为好室友的建议,由此可知,设空处应该起到过渡作用,引出下文的建议。故E项(这里有关于如何成为一名好室友的实用建议)符合语境。故选E项。
口诀二
小标题设空，祈使句必用。
解释：小标题在原文中一般会加粗，或者出现在每段的首句,，小标题比较简短，且在选项中，多数以动词原形开头（祈使句），A或B很明显是小标题，不选A就选B；不选B就选A。如果选了A要划掉B，反之也如此。（选A放弃B；选B放弃A。）这样可以缩小解题范围，提高解题效率。
小标题的三种形式：
1.祈使句（动词原形开头）
2.动名词短语（-ing短语）
3.名词短语
例：安徽合肥一中2024高二期中英语试题
__3__
Nothing is more important than keeping your shared space clean and organised. Take the time to clean up shared areas like bathrooms and kitchens and respect each other's standards of cleanliness.
Develop a sense of humour
__4__. Developing a sense of humour will help relieve tension and create a more light-hearted atmosphere ,especially when you and your roommates have the same sense of humour.
A. Respect yourself
B. Keep things clean and organised
C.You can create an open-door policy
D. It is also wise to be mindful of noise levels
E. Here are practical tips on how to be a good roommate
F. Living with others can lead to disagreements and arguments
G. Being a good roommate is more than making your rent payments on time
答案：3.B
解析：根据设空处的位置可知,设空处是本段的小标题,是概括本段给出的建议（tips）;结合本段内容可知,本段主要介绍了与室友一起居住，应该注重保持公共区域的整洁,故B项(保持整洁有序)适合作为本段的小标题。故选B项。
温馨提示：文章中的小标题形式要保持一致。有小标题的先找小标题，这样可以排除两个选项，缩小解题范围，提高解题效率。
口诀三
上下看，找复现。
解释：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在上下文中重复出现，这种现象叫词语复现。我闷首先重点阅读空格前后的句子，然后圈定线索词（名词、动词），最后拿线索词和选项的词匹配，匹配成功，答案自现。常见的复现形式有：
(1) 原词复现（同词复现）:原词复现是指一个句子中的关键词(常为动词、名词、形容词)会反复出现在文中的其他句子中。这些词会以不同词类、词性、数、格、时态、语态等形式出现。如：“comes”与“coming ”,“came”；“leave ”与“leaving”,“left”等。因此，要学会寻找空格前后句句中的相同关键词。
例：2015新课标卷 I__39__If you’ve been betrayed, you are the victim of your circumstance. But there’s a difference between being a victim and living with a “victim mentality”.A. Learn to really trust yourself.C. Stop regarding yourself as the victim.D. Remember that you can expect the best inreturn.【答案】C
解析：要求选段落主题句。空后句三次出现 victim 一词, 七个选项中只有选项 C 中有victim，原词复现。将选项 C“不要把自己当作受害者”代入空格处，与下文衔接紧密，故选 C 项。本段结构：总(总领)-分(细说)。
温馨提示：词语复现是语篇衔接的一个重要手段，而七选五正是考查语篇衔接，因此，利用词语复现解七选五非常管用。在近五年的8套全国新课标卷共40道题中有13道题利用这一招可直接选出答案，利用这一招可将选项缩小到2个选项的还有5道，也就是说，平均起来，几乎有一半的题仅用这一招就可解决。
【真题再现】例：2021全国卷甲Invite 5—10 people so you have a nice selection. 37. Less people than that, and there may not be enough things to choose from; more than that, and it becomes uncontrollable.__38__.They should also prepare plenty of reusable bags to carry their“new”clothes home.A．Less people than thatB．Hold a clothing swapC．If two people are competing D．Just keep music playing throughoutE．Donate whatever clothes are left overF．Have everyone put their clothes in the right spotsG．Tell everyone to bringclean clothes in good condition【答案】38.G
解析：本题考查原词复现。本段空白后“They should also prepare plenty of reusable bags to carry their ‘new’clothes home.”讲他们还应准备大量的可回收的袋子，来把“新”衣服带回家。其中的“clothes” 原词复现是解题提示，同时“new”表明衣服应该是好的，对应G选项中的“clean”“in good condition”。
(2) 同义词复现: 指意义相同或相近的词、词组重复出现。如：important 与 significant；decide 与 determine 决定；room 与 space；website 与 online；abandon-desert 等）
例：福建龙岩市2023-2024学年第一学期期中联考If you feel like you lack the basic skills required for good communication, there are a number of reliable ways to improve. Here are a few tips:____17___Effective communicators are always good listeners.Active listening means engaging with what people say by giving positivere plies and asking follow-up questions to show that you are paying attention.A.Practice active listening.B.Develop communication skills.C.Public speaking may sound frightening.D.Know what’s appropriate to express when speaking publicly.E.Turn to them for advice on improving your communication skills.F.Showing strong emotions can lead to poor communication and conflict.G.Pay attention to your facial expressions and body language when speaking with someone.【答案】17. A
解析：根据上文“If you feel like you lack the basic skills required for good communication , there are a number of reliable ways to improve. Here are a few tips.(如果你觉得自己缺乏良好沟通所需的基本技能，有一些可靠的方法可以改善。这里有一些建议。)”以及后文“Effective communicators are always good listeners. Active listening means engaging with what people say by giving positive replies and asking follow-up questions to show that you are paying attention.(有效的沟通者总是好的倾听者。积极倾听是指通过给予积极的回答和提出后续问题来参与人们所说的内容，以表明你在认真倾听。)”可知，此空上一段讲提高沟通技能的方法。下一段在讲学会积极倾听。
A项“Practice active listening.(练习积极倾听。)”符合语境。故选A项。 【真题再现】2022新高考IYou and your partner will probably have different skills 40 Over time, both of you will benefit—your partner will be able to lift more weights and your will become more physically fit. The core of your relationship is that you will always be there to help each other. C. You'll work harder if you train with someone else.E.How can you write a good" seeking training partner" notice?F.Just accept your differences and learn to work with each other.【答案】40.F
解析：设空处前一句说你和你的健身伙伴可能有不同的技能，设空处后文说你们互相帮助，都会受益。F项中的 differences 对应前一句中的 different skills, work with each other 对应后文中的 be there to help each other。F项承上启下，符合语境。
(3) 同畴词复现（上义词与下义词）:上下义词重复信息是指文中选项位置的前后两句中出现意义相关的上位或下位词，因表达的需要而重复出现一到两次，重复出现的过程中，上下文存在着逻辑关系，起着前后衔接作用，这有利于做题时锁定关键词，找出正确答案。如①crop（庄稼）（上义词）与（下义词）：rice（大米，wheat（小麦）等。②animal（动物）（上义词）与（下义词）：cat，dog，tiger，wolf。③fruit（上义词），apple，orange，pear，banana，peach（下义词）等。
例：2024届江苏南通市第一学期期中联考Choose a cause. Some good ideas might be something like,"Save the whales!" But nothing says you can't do more than one cause. __37__ For example, you could work to save polar bears in November, plant trees in December, and stop global warming in January.A.Name your club.B.Great minds think alike.C.After all, saving the world is a big job.D.Choose members to hold all the meetings.E.Your club could do a different cause every month. F.It could be in the woods, in the park or in the classroom.G.But encourage all members to support each other's work.【答案】37.E
解析：空前说可以不仅有一个目标(cause)。空后列举了11月、12月、1月开展不同主题的活动。所以这一句应该是一个承上启下的句子。应该选E—在不同月份开展不同主题活动。
(4) 同根词复现：以同根词的词义为基础而词性不同的词语重复出现。如：happy-happily-unpappy-happiness；ill-illness；dust-dusty；wake-awake；calm-calmness-calmly...）
(5) 反义词复现：以反义词或反义表达的形式重复出现。如：cheap（便宜）与 expensive（昂贵）；good 与 bad。
例：2021全国卷甲A successful swap depends on the selection of clothes, the organization of the event, and, obviously, how much fun is had. It's really easy to do! Here are a few pointers.Invite 5 — 10 people so you have a nice selection. __37__，and there may not be enough things to choose from; more than that, and it becomes uncontrollable.A．Less people than thatB．Hold a clothing swapC．If two people are competingD．Just keep music playing throughoutE．Donate whatever clothes are left overF．Have everyone put their clothes in the right spotsG．Tell everyone to bring clean clothes in good condition【答案】37.A
解析：根据本段空白处后文“more than that, and it becomes uncontrollable”，超过5－10人，则无法控制，可知分号前后是两个相反意义的对比关系，根据反义信息“more than”，可以推理得知空白处想表达人太少的含义。 温馨提示：有的题利用词语复现解题十分管用，但这并不意味着凡与上句或下句有复现词的选项就一定是正确选项，只是正确的可能性更大，在解题过程中需重点考虑或优选考虑而已。
口诀四
遇代词，向前看，人对人，物对物，单对单；复对复。
解释：为了避免与上文提到的名词重复，用不同的代词指代上文提到的人、事物或事件。
（1）人称代词：he/she /they / you /we 主格
him/her/ them/ me/ you/ us 宾格
看到he,前面肯定有人且是男的；看到 she，前面肯定有人且是女的。
（2）it指代单数名词、不可数名词、句子。
（3）指示代词：
①选项中的 this/that 这个/那个，代表文章中的单数名词。
②选项中的 these/those /这些/那些，代表文章中的复数名词。
解题时要根据选项里面的代词去匹配文章里名词或代词的单复数以及性别是否一致。
例：2024-2025学年度郑州市高三上学期1月期期末考试英语试题
They lower your risk of a fatal heart attack. Researchers found that cat owners had a 30per cent lower risk of dying of a heart attack. ____39___. The researchers assumed — and most cat owners would agree — that cats’ unbothered nature has a calming effect. Spending time with any pet lowers stress, an important contributor to heart disease.
A. They also improve your mental health
B. They contribute a lot to our strong body
C. With the considerate care from the owners
D. Here are some ways that your pet pal benefits you
E. With their regular tasks of feeding, walks and play
F. They introduce more bacterial diversity that our body adapts to
G. But you may wonder how it comes about without taking a cat for walks
【答案】39.G
解析：由前文“They lower your risk of a fatal heart attack. Researchers found that cat owners had a 30per cent lower risk of dying of a heart attack.(它们降低了你致命心脏病发作的风险。研究人员发现，养猫的人死于心脏病的风险降低了30%)”可知，养猫可以帮助人减少心脏病，此段作者以科学家关于猫咪的发现为证据，来服务于段落中心。选项前一句是研究发现。
选项后俩句中“calming effect”，“lowers stress”可见主要讲述为何养猫能降低心脏病发作。那么本空起衔接功能。由此可知，G选项But you may wonder how it comes about without taking a cat for walks(但你可能想知道，不带猫散步，它是怎么来的)符合文意，其中出现了关键词cat，与段落主旨相符，it指代上句的科学发现。故选G项。
温馨提示：英语表达中代词出现的频率极高，当选项，空格前后出现代词，一定要重视，绝对是解题的超级线索。出现代词，就说明前文中有代词指代的具体人或事物。利用这一线索，解答题目就相当的简单。（利用代词的指代关系，根据代词的单复数差异可以准确快速地解题。）
【真题再现】2021浙江卷1月
Researchers have a good way to deal with this problem. Make all customers stand in one long，snaking line—called a serpentine line—and serve each person at the front with the next available register.__34__This is what they do at most banks and fast-food restaurants. With a serpentine line，a long delay at one register won't unfairly punish the people who lined up behind it. Instead，it will slow down everyone a little bit but speed up checkout overall.
A．Why does this always seem to happen to you?
B．So why don't most places encourage serpentine lines?
C．Some of them may have stood in a queue for almost an hour.
D．The chances of your line being the fastest are only one in three.
E．How high is the probability that you are in the fastest waiting line?
F．With three registers，this method is much faster than the traditional approach.
G．But sometimes，as on a Sunday afternoon，the system gets particularly busy.
【答案】F解析：本题考查上下文衔接。前一段提到如果商店中排起了三个结账的队伍，那么结账时延误情况的出现是随机的。本段提到研究人员为解决这一问题，想出了一个好办法：让所有人排成一队，排在最前面的人到可用的收银机处结账。F项能很好地承接上文，同时F项中的this method是空后This的指代对象，代词重复是一个很好的解题信号。
口诀五
标点符号，结构对照。
解释：（1）空格前如果有逗号，选项（答案）的第一个字母要小写。（2）有问就有答，问什么就答什么。(用why?问→用because, the reason is that来回答。)
口诀六
固定句式要记牢，速定答案错不了。
(1) some…others….still others… 一些人….一些人……还有一些……(2) one….another…. 一个…….另一个…….(3) for one thing… for another… 一方面…. 另一方面…（用于列举两个（并列的）原因或观点）(4) On the one hand… On the other hand 一方面… 另一方面…
例：2024-2025学年度11月湖北省荆荆宜高二上学期联考Some focus on traditional, folk music.__38__ Music festivals have become very popular venues that have become well established as part of summer culture.A. Rock music is the reflection of history.B. Woodstock festival changed the form of rock concerts.C. However,it focused not only on music but other events.D. Another early rock festival was the Isle of Wight Festival.E. Today, it’s hard to imagine summer without musical festivals.F. What perhaps put music festivals on the map was Woodstock in 1969.G.Others are intended for younger audiences or those who prefer period based music.【答案】38. G
解析：根据空前“Some focus on traditional, folk music.（一些专注于传统、民间音乐。）”可知，G项是空前的顺义承接，Some 和 Others 相呼应，故G项“其他的是专为年轻观众设计的，或者那些喜欢古典音乐的人。”符合，故选G项。
