考点：考查信息匹配 【名师点拨】 高考七选五解题方法

1.通读全文，了解文章大意。这是一个泛读的过程，目的是了解文章大意，为以后的理解做铺垫。 2.分析句型，了解语法构成。

3.当我们了解了文章大意后，要明确每一个空是填一个整句子还是半个句子。这一点十分重要，它能够帮助我们迅速确定某些空的选项范围，比如，有一个空的结尾处没有标点符号，后文紧跟着一个句子的后半部分，很显然这时我们需要填的是半个句子，这时便可以在七个选项中找到是半个句子的选项，从而缩小选择范围。比如40小题，考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据下一句：迈克尔乔丹一直坚持认为他作为一位伟大的篮球运动员，来自于他的勤奋他的工艺为多，与他的天赋一样。可知此处内容是从自己喜欢的事情中得到力量。故选C。

4.明确关联关系。任何句子都是要么和上文有联系，要么和下文有联系，要么和上下文都有联系。比如39小题，考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据上一句：一旦你决定什么对你来说是重要的，要争取的目标，建立一个日常工作表，将帮助你实现它们。根据下一句：它们可以给你一个消极的想法阻碍你的自律。所以此处的内容是改掉自己的坏习惯。故选F。

5.带入通读，复查

做完题目切忌直接离开，这是我们很有必要将自己修正好的文章通读一遍，将其看做一片行文通顺语意连贯的文章来读，这是如果感到有含义不连贯的地方，很有可能是我们填错了空，就要复查了，注意：七选五的特点在于，错一道，往往还会错另外的一道或几道，我们叫做\连错\，所以当你发现自己有一处填的有问题时，一定要同时检查其他空。 第三部分 英语知识运用(共二节，满分45分)

第一节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题l．5分，满分30分)

阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

After a decade at the publishing company, I was fired．I had worked so hard for so long．I was always doing my job 41 ，clawing my way up the ladder．And 42 ? Doing these things had 43 me．in the end，very little of lasting value．I wondered what would happen if I let it all go—didn’t look for a job，didn’t keep my 44 ambition．

My husband thought it was a great idea．“Just 45 ,” he said．As a serious windsurfer, he suggested I try the sport as a path to clarity．I had windsurfed before , but only in 46 water．I didn’t like high winds．I didn’t like going fast—that was 47 ．But I wanted to abandon the past．My 48 was to do nothing but read and windsurf every day．I wanted to feel the fear and do it anyway．I wanted to learn how to ride the currents，and I couldn’t think of a better way than to 49 myself to the invisible，ever-shifting wind．

I decided to sail at Swell City, a favorite outpost on the Washington side of the Columbia．That July 50 to be one of the windiest months on record．I grew to find that what I was doing did 51 for my standing in the world．It won me no friends．Then again，I was 52 ．

One day, a friend and her l5-year-old son came，and after I explained my 53 , he said the simplest．but most profound thin9：“It’s all in the 54 ．” This kid had windsurfed only three times , 55 he knew the secret．“If you go out there knowing you’re going to 56 it，you will，”he continued．“But if you go out there afraid you’ll get hurt , you will．” I smiled at him．Wasn’t that 57 the same problem I’d encountered in life? I’d always been terrified l wouldn’t reach the goal or 58 the job．I knew I had to let that fear go．And slowly I did．

The wind wanted nothing from me．It cared not at all about my ambition or accomplishments．It 59 me that the beauty of life is in the trying．And that’s where I am：still trying for the turnaround．in life and in the 60 ．
