七选五解题技巧
一、依据连接词衔接手段解题(一)
(一)七选五试题概述
1. 考查目的
《考试说明》对 “七选五”的命题目的表述为“主要考查学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。”
七选五与完形填空有相似之处,完形填空空出的是词,而七选五空出的是句子,考查的方式
一样,只要考生选择的答案能够使行文连贯符合英语的语法以及表达习惯表达就行,因此,
这两类题型在做题方法上有共通之处。
2. 七选五高考真题特点
全国高考试卷,包括北京高考试卷,7 选 5 试题基本为说明文。北京高考试题以科普说明文
为主。
全国高考三套试卷,早期的试题语篇类型多以方法建议类说明文为主,属于典型的“总分
(总)”,第 1 段是文章主旨,其他段落分别说明,各段落之间是平行、并列关系,并且各段
多以主题句加解释说明性,而近两年只有 2018 年全国卷 2,2020 年全国卷 1 采用了这种中
规中矩的结构文体,其余的要么采用了递进式结构语篇文本,要么采用了双层“总分(总)”
结构,其文本结构不再像以前一样一目了然。
什么叫“总分总”结构?也就是第 1 段他给你一个总述,然后第 2、3、4 段分别介绍,最
后一段进行一个总结。

3. 七选五文本中的显性和隐性衔接手段
语篇应该具有连贯性,语篇连贯是依靠语篇衔接关系建立起来的。实现语篇连贯的衔接机制
有显性和隐性之分,其中显性衔接是实现语篇连贯的主要手段,而隐性衔接则是实现语篇连
贯的不可缺少的方式。二者相间使用,相互补充,促成整个语篇连贯的建立。
显性衔接手段大体可通过词汇衔接、语法衔接以及连接词衔接等三个方面来实现;隐形衔接
存在于语篇的底层,是语篇的无形网络。这种无形网络对语篇信息的理解带来了很大困难。
读者在理解无明显标记或仅有部分标记的语篇时,必须借助上下文语境、图式知识(背景
知识)及推理想象等手段来完整理解语篇的隐含意义。
4. 英语语篇的显性衔接:连接词衔接(连接词如:not only...but also、but)
连接词衔接:这里的连接词是广义的,它不仅包括语法意义上的连词,也包括具有连
接意义的由副词或介词短语所体现的状语。
通过连接词的运用,人们可以了解句子之间的语义联系,甚至可以经前句从逻辑上可预
见后续句的语义,从而进一步明确句子语义发展的方向。连接词本身不仅具有清楚的语义,
更重要的是他们能够表达出某种逻辑关系,因此连接词的运用标志着某种语义概念及逻辑
关系的出现,在语篇中发挥着起承转合的作用。
连接词的作用:无论在口语还是书面语中,这些起连接作用的词语以其特有的方式来帮
助人们理解语篇,标示出一个观点是如何从一方面表达到另一方面的。它们的这种连接作用
如同旅途上的路标,为旅行者指路导航。
