-：题型解析

七选五的设空位置无非就段首；段中以及段尾；设空位置不同考查学生的能力也有所不

同；段首主要考查有以下三个方面：段尾句作为总结句；总结概括全段的内容；其次；段尾

句充当承上启下的作用；承接本段前一句；引出下段第一句；最后；作为承接句；与倒数第

二句形成因果关系.

解题方向：

1.总结概括句

做题时一要注意设空的前一句或前两三句；二要注意在选项中查找thus,therefore,hence,

so,asaresult,inaword,inshort,toconclude,tosumup等表示结果、结论、总结的词语；三要

注意与前文的逻辑关系，找到关键的线索词句，如表示转折、并列、排比等关系。如果在文

章第一段的段尾设空，要认真阅读看此处是细节还是主题。通常文章的第一段要提出主题，

如果在段尾提出主题，常用一些信号词（如转折词）引出来，正确答案中应有这样的信号词。

2.承上启下（过渡）句

做题时如果在选项中找不出与前文之间的关联，此时要考虑与下一段开头是否有衔接，

要认真阅读下一段的开头几句，看是否能紧密联系起来。

3.因果关系承接

因果关系承接是考查最多的内容；也是易错点；此时考查的是倒数第二句与最后一句的

因果关系；而非全段的总结概括；所以做题时应该细心注意.

解题技巧：

（1）总结句

解题技巧：通常是结论、概括性语句，做题时注意要阅读前文，总结前文内容。另外，

注意查找表示结论、结果等信号词，通过文意对应和信号词解题。

⑵引起下文

解题技巧：在首段结尾，或者文章最后一段的末尾，往往会出现引起下文、承上启下或

者引起读者思考的句子。

(3)文章细节

解题技巧：根据段落一致性原则，在原文和选项中找到相关的特征词，通常在选项中会

出现表示并列/递进关系的关联词或与前文类似的句式结构，或出现同义词等其他信号线索。

前面的一句与正确答案的第一句是紧密相连的。要特别注意阅读这样相连的两句，通常会找

到关键的线索词句。
