七选五一直是很多学生觉得很困难的题型,它一般选用指导类的说明文,有非常清晰的逻辑和思路,多以大标题和小标题的结构模式呈现,也有小部分没有小标题来划分结构,但是主题句分明,结构清晰,可以看做隐藏的小标题。因为考查的能力比较广,...七选五一直是很多学生觉得很困难的题型,它一般选用指导类的说明文,有非常清晰的逻辑和思路,多以大标题和小标题的结构模式呈现,也有小部分没有小标题来划分结构,但是主题句分明,结构清晰,可以看做隐藏的小标题。因为考查的能力比较广,能力要求也较高,很多学生在做七选五时总是容易失分。很多选项看起来都跟文章息息相关,但并不是正确的答案。其实七选五答题最重要的是要根据文章的连贯性或逻辑性从选项中选取正确答案。七选五的题目中有些逻辑关系较为明显,比较容易找到答案,但有些逻辑关系比较复杂,很容易失分,比如说平列关系就是考试的一个易错点。平列关系是指前后句互为平行并列关系,有时会出现一些明显的表示逻辑关系的信号词,比如first…second…third…;for one thing…for another thing…;to begin with…what's more…last but not least….但很多时候文章中并没有明显的逻辑连词可供判断,并且平列关系的正确答案中出现的一些名词信息在全段中均未提及,看起来像是无关选项。只单方面考虑前句或者后句而不是联系上下文一起思考容易得到错误答案。这个时候我们一定要仔细观察,分析文章和段落结构,厘清前后逻辑关系,使前后文无论是意义上还是逻辑上,结构上都能自洽。展开更多
