13、的解题技巧之一是根据上下文词汇来锁定线索。即：要关注空白 前后的名词和动词，然后在选项中查找它们的近义词、反义词、同义词、同类词 等。其次是一些专有名词，比方说数词、代词、时间、年代、地点/名称等。在 本文中，第2小题中的“them”，第5小题中的“1”,第1小题中的from Florida to Alaska,均与上下文或选项中有相呼应的词语。. B. A. D. G. F【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了室内设计中颜色的选择问题。36题以逗号结尾，后面另起一个简单句，可以从句子结构排除D,E,F,G项。 根据前文的三个问句可知，此处是从中选择一种。应选B （不管你寻找哪一种）。前

14、文：在过去的许多年里，有许多技术帮助设计者实现这一要点；下文：它 们有点复杂。所以A （然而他们都很有用）承上启下。符合题意。本空是一个主题句，总说选择小型颜色是我们很熟悉的方法。后文分说小型 颜色选择具体用于哪些。应选D。根据前文“中型颜色选择通常是指一些例如沙发，餐桌或者书架等家具的颜 色选择”，接着说明这种范围的颜色选择是比小型颜色选择在两种方式上更高一 级，应选G。根据前文 the time, effort and relative expense put into it are significant （你所付 诸的时间、精力和相关的费用是巨大的），后文F项（那肯定是值得的，因为你

15、想第一次把它弄好）是上文的结果。应选F。点睛：关键词法解决阅读填空题是一种有效的方法。做题时很重要的一点是 保持对一些线索词的敏感，最主要的线索特征词是空白前后的名词和动词，寻找 答案时注意在选项中查找同义词、近义词、反义词或表示同一类事物的词语等。 其次是代词、数词、表示时间/年代的词、地点/名称等专有名词等。尤其是在读 不懂句子的情况下，利用这样的线索词寻找答案是很有效的方法。37题A选项中的them指代上文中的different techniques和下文中的they指代 内容相同。38题上一段末尾提到要介绍三种颜色选择，本段详细介绍第一种small color choice.选项和语段

17、。故该句应该起承上启下的作用, 故F选项（如果我们愿意用批判性的目光来评估自己的话，那么了解这些原因将 会控制我们的愤怒。）承上启下，应选F。.考查上下文理解和逻辑推理能力。该空前面两句提到引发愤怒的事件很多， 例如：堵车，截止日期临近，身体疼痛等。下一句提到：某件事会激发一个人的 怒气，但其他人却不会为此而生气的原因是由于个人的历史和心理特征。该空承 上启下，应当提到某件事会使某些人生气，但不会使别人生气这个现象，故G 选项（人们对这些事情的反响不一样，这就导致使一个人生气的事情可能会让另 一个人生气，也可能不会让另一个人生气。）承上启下，应选G。.考查上下文理解和逻辑推理能力。上一句提到：

18、每个人都有自己的心里不平 衡的地方。那些比拟好强，气量比拟小的人更容易生气。下一句提到：而且，有 时候，pre-anger并不一定是一种持久的状态，而是一种触发事件发生前的暂时状 态。该空承上启下，既要提到上一句中的那些性格特征，又要提到下一句中的 pre-anger, 故 Having these personality traits implies the pre-anger state, where anger is in the background of your mind.（拥有这些个性特征意味着愤怒之前的状态， 愤怒就在你的大脑背景中。）承上启下，应选E。.考查上下文理解和逻辑推

19、理能力。下一句提到：有时候，甚至常规性的事件 也会变成pre-anger或恼怒的来源。有时候对这些情况的无知和负面观点会产生 愤怒。该空位于段首，引出下文，故A选项（我们的对情况的态度和看法也会 在我们内心产生愤怒。）是本段的主题句，概括全段内容，应选A。.考查上下文理解和逻辑推理能力。下一句提到:但是生气很容易转变为暴力， 所以最好了解一下愤怒的原因来阻止它的存在。该句和上一句之间是转折关系， 结合剩余选项可知，D选项（愤怒是一种特别强烈的感情，或许人们认为他们有 理由生气。）和下文构成转折关系，应选D。点睛：七选五解题策略之一：词语复现词语复现包括原词复现和同反义词复现，及正确选项和空格前

20、后句子有相同的词 或同反义词相互呼应。抓住这些复现线索，题目自然迎刃而解。在第一小题中， 空前的the main reasons和G选项中的these reasons属于原词复现。第二小题空 前文提到的trigger, G选项中的trigger,和空后一句中的trigger也属于原词复现。CEFGB【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了人和动物为什么需要睡眠的一些理论以及睡眠的重 要性。.根据前一句 When lab rats are not allowed to sleepjhey die within a month.当实 验室的老鼠不允许睡觉时，一个月他们就死了，因此推断C项“同样，

21、人几天不 睡觉，也会生病”，人和动物对应起来，死和生病形成对应，应选C。.前一句提到的睡觉有助于帮助我们加强新的记忆，因此推断学生在学习新知 识后如果有机会睡一觉，他们在考试中就会表现得更好，前后逻辑关系很顺畅, 因果联系，应选E。.该空为段尾句，是对该段前面内容的总结，同时，结合第四段第一句话中的 代词he可以知道，该空中必然包含一个人名，否那么he就失去了所指对象，选项 中包含人名的选项有F和G,但只有F选项能与第三段的内容衔接.也就是说, 睡眠会帮助清除一局部记忆，为新记忆腾出空间，按照研究人员Tononi的话说， “睡眠是我们为学习付出的代价”。应选F。.根据下文中提到的关键词syna

22、pses in the mice以及整个句子可知，他肯定 做了关于老鼠的实验，G项有关键词synapses, mice,都与他的实验有关，应选 Go.该空为尾段的倒数第二句话，应该与其前后的句子意义连贯.该空前面一句 里出现了 protect、stay,而该空后面一句出现了 keep、matter,正好与选项B里 的preserve和important呼应.也就是说，重要的记忆会被保存下来。前后逻辑 关系顺畅，应选B。DCAFE【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己近三年来逐渐改变了对野营的看法，从以前 对野营活动嗤之以鼻，经过几次野营后慢慢喜欢上了野营，最后表达野营将逐渐 成为人类

23、回归自然的很好方式，建议人们找到属于自己的方式。上文They had nothing in common with me说明作者原来认为他不会成为野 营者.而下文主要描述的是“我”从最开始进行“rough travel”到有了“pop-up camper”再到有了 trailer的过程，在这过程中作者对野营的爱好逐步增加，对野 营的相关知识也在逐步增长，上下文呈转折关系.D项意为“然而在那之后我将 会学到关于野营的很多知识“，起到转折作用，引出下文，符合语境.故正确答 案为D。由卜文 We sleep in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walke

29、间内，找出每段写作内容的关键词。明确各段的主题句或 主旨大意。文章正文局部通常分为假设干小段落。各段落会根据整体文章写作主题 展开，对文章主体进行的不同方面的描述。找出各个小段落中的关键词，明确其 描述内容，为整体试题的解决做好铺垫。阅读各个空的前后句，标记关键词，关 键词包括句中的核心名词或名词词组（如带有形容词的名词词组）、专有名词、 时间数字、代词、连词等。重点阅读各个问题附近的句子，圈定线索词，然后从 选项中寻找相关的特征词，以确定答案。做题时可以采用代入排除法。如果一题 做不出或拿不准，可先放过，继续往下读，先做容易的能做出的题，直到读完整 篇文章。3、定位选项，明确各备选选项的含义

30、，抓住其关键词语，根据文章整体结构与 具体内容，将选项填入文中，填写时尤为注意各选项中出现的句子衔接手段及句 中的衔接标志词。在定位选项时，要特别注意空格上下段的写作内容，以及空格 上段尾句和下段首句的结构和意义。将所选项放入空白处，看看是否与上下文构 成语义及逻辑上的直接关系，是否符合该处语境。能否承接前后的写作线索。使 文章无论内容还是衔接上都能做到通顺。4、通读复检，将所选答案代入文中，再次通读全文，重点考查逻辑关系和关联 结构。在完成选项定位后，应通读全文，检查文章内容是否完整，语义是否连贯合理、 各段落内容是否紧扣主题，语篇结构是否通顺连贯、具有一致性、合乎逻辑，写 作思路是否清晰明

31、了，格式以及用语是否恰当贴切，从而判断选择的答案是否正 确。同时，我们还应注意对相近选项的比照分析，个别干扰项由于与某个正确选 项的内容相近具有很强的干扰性，这时就需要我们认真分析，排除干扰，从而得 出正确选项。5、确定排除，研究多余选项，确定排除理由，最终确定答案。GBEAC【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了父母如何帮助孩子培养良好的学习习惯。.本段讲述内容就是要你的孩子养成良好的学习习惯，学会制定学习的计划J, 控制好自己的学习时间，所以G项One of the best ways to form good study habits for your kids is to d
