閱讀短文還原句子的文章一般為200—250詞左右,設空位置一般為三種:段首、段尾和段中。根據歷年真題的考查可看出考題中段中設空最多,段尾次之,段首最少。其主要考查:
1. 學生能理解故事情節和事件發展順序。
2. 學生能理解段落中各句子之間的邏輯關係。
二、滿分技巧
1. 解題步驟
(1)讀選項,畫關鍵詞,暗排序。
(2)讀文章,找邏輯,抓過渡詞。
(3)先易後難來解題。
(4)回讀文章定答案。
2. 得分技巧
(1)抓住過渡詞,看住上下句。
(2)盯緊橫線的前後詞語。
通過學生對這類題型的解題步驟、思路及技巧的練習和實踐,可總結出以下複習策略:
1. 養成限時閱讀的習慣,提高閱讀速度。培養學生的閱讀技能, 處理好閱讀速度與效率問題。閱讀速度應控制在每篇5分鐘,每分鐘40—50個詞為宜。
2. 注意常考點。平時練習多注意代詞(如it,this,they)、選項的句內關係(如因果、轉折)及重現(文章與選項的復現提示)等。
3. 解題技巧
通讀全文,了解文章大意。根據文章整體結構、具體內容,並結合關鍵詞,將選項填入文中,再次通讀全文,重點考查邏輯關係和關聯結構,研究多餘選項,確定排除理由,最終確定答案。
1. 如果問題設在段首
(1)通常是段落的主題句。認真閱讀後文內容,根據段落一致性原則,查找相關的詞,推斷出主題句。
(2)與後文是並列,轉折,因果關係等。著重閱讀後文第一兩句,鎖定線索信號詞,然後在選項中查找相關特徵詞,通常正確答案的最後一句與空白後的第一句在意思上是緊密銜接的,因此這兩句之間會有某種的銜接手段。
(3)段落間的過渡句。這時要瞻前顧後找啟示,即閱讀上一段結尾部分,通常正確答案與上一段結尾有機地銜接起來,並結合下一段內容,看所選的答案是否將兩段內容連貫起來。
2. 如果問題設在段尾
(1)空白前的一句或兩句是重點語句,重點閱讀以鎖定關鍵詞。
(2)通常是結論,概括性語句。注意在選項中查找表示結果結論,總結等的信號詞,如:Therefore, as a result,thus,hence,in short,to sum up,to conclude,in a word等詞語,選項中也可發現前文的同義詞句。
(3)與前文是轉折或對比關係。此時要注意在選項中查找表示轉折對比的關聯詞,同時注意選項中所講內容是否與前文在同一主題上形成對立、對比關係。
(4)與前文是並列或排比關係。在這種情況下,通常是該段落要求補全說明本段主題的其他細節,因此,根據段落一致性原則,在原文和選項中找到相關的特徵詞,通常選項中會出現表示並列或遞進關係的關聯詞或與前文類似的句式結構,或出現同義詞等其他線索。
(5)所選答案是引出下一段的內容。如果在選項中找不出與前文之間的關聯,此時可考慮與下一段的開頭是否有一定的銜接,認真閱讀下一段開頭幾句,看是否與選項的最後一句緊密連接起來。
(6)如果第一段的段尾是空白,要認真閱讀,看此處是細節還是主題,通常文章第一段要提出文章的主題,如果在段尾提出主題,會用一些信號詞如轉折詞引出來,正確答案應有這樣的特徵詞。學科&網
A
A. Never be afraid to give
B. Plan ahead as much as possible
C. Work out your priorities(優先考慮的事)
D. Be disciplined(有紀律的) at all times
E. Make sure everything has its place
F. Stick to a schedule
Being Well-Organized And Getting Things Done
Being well-organized and getting things done and what we have done is tried to make them as easy to follow as possible to allow you to implement(實施) them immediately. There is no doubt that being organized does make a difference.
1,It is something that you should do every single day and the best way to approach this is to place things in order of importance. Watching that movie may sound like a good idea, but put that at the bottom of the list and focus on things that influence your work, health, or anything else that is key to your survival(生存).
2 ,Next, you should consider trying to plan ahead, so if you know that there is an appointment at a certain location for a certain time, then plan your day around that appointment.
3 ,Knowing where everything is really will allow you to get more things done as you will waste less time hunting for that object that you require to complete your task. Too much time is wasted hunting for keys or that piece of paper and it also just stresses you out and can upset your pace.
4,Giving tasks to others will always lead to you getting more done, but it is not just a case of picking anybody to do a task. Instead, you need to make sure that they are capable of doing it without running into any problems and that they do have the correct tools to complete the job.
5,Having a schedule will help to force you into completing tasks on time and actually getting more done in the process. The only problem here is that you need to be sensible when working out how long something takes or you will put undue pressure on yourself and this is where mistakes can occur and you will actually then start to get less done.
B。Question: I’m 15 and I』ve been having trouble sleeping at night. It usually takes me 2 to 4 hours to get to sleep. 1 I can’t focus on my lessons at school. Please help me!
Answer: If you are a person who doesn’t regularly get a good night’s sleep, you are not alone. 2 Here are some tips for helping you get a good night’s sleep.
⊙Keep regular hours
By keeping regular hours your body and mind know what is coming up and can start to prepare for you to sleep. 3 If you can’t go to bed at a regular time, then make sure you get up at a regular time. So after a late night you wake up tired, and it forces you to go to bed earlier.
⊙ 4
I know, you hear this about everything from heart health to losing weight, but exercise really does do you a world of good. However, don’t do it too close to going to sleep. It is better to do it about an hour after dinner.
⊙Relax before going to bed
5,In fact, when you lie down to go to sleep, your mind is going to be thinking about the programs you have been watching. Instead, take just 20 or 30 minutes before bed to read or sit, anything that gets you to slow down and gives your mind a rest!
A. Take some exercise.
B. And I usually get about 4 or 5 hours』 sleep in a day.
C. It also means you can get in regular number of hours each night.
D. Many people suffer from sleep problems.
E. You may think that watching TV before you go to bed is a good way to relax.
C,Without a friend,the world is like a desert. Too many people want others to be their friends,but they don’t give friendship back. 1 To have a friend, you must learn to be one. You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning the following rules.
2 Friends must be able to trust one another. If you don’t tell the truth, people usually find out,and you may lose your friend’s trust. Good friends always trust in one another to speak and do things honestly.
Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You don’t have to give your lunch money or your clothes,of course. 3 These can be valuable to a friend. They tell your friends what is important to you. By sharing them,you help your friends know you better.
Everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. 4 Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place, so you can understand the problem better.
No two friendships are ever exactly similar. 5 In fact, good friendship will just not easily last. That is to say, you must give as much as you take, or friendship will die away.
A. Keep your friend’s feelings in mind.
B. Instead you share your ideas and feelings.
C. Something may go wrong at school.
D. That is one of the causes why some friendships don’t last very long.
E. One way to do this is to be honest with a friend.
F. But all true friendships have three things in common.
G. Honesty is where a good friendship starts.

Have you ever tried to hide your emotions(情感) from someone during a conversation? ___71___
Scientists from the Ohio State University have found that people are able to tell other people’s emotions according to changes in the color of their faces.
Scientists studied pictures of people’s facial e
xpressions. ____72____ For example, happiness makes our faces red around the cheeks and a little blue around the chin. Disgust(厭惡) creates not only a blue-yellow color around the lips, but also a red-green color around the nose and forehead.
"We believe these color patterns are the result of small changes in blood flow triggered(觸發) by the central nervous(神經) system." Lead researcher Alex Martinez said.
____73____ Does the color alone or also facial expressions help people tell other’s emotions?
To figure this out, scientists added color patterns to pictures of faces that showed no facial expressions. ___74___They were able to tell the emotions 75 percent of the time without any difficulty.____75____ For example, when two people are heatedly arguing over something, we say they are red in the face. When a person is very angry, we』d say he or she is blue in the face.

B(北京市密雲區2017屆九年級期末)A year ago I paid no attention to English idioms(習語), though my teacher said again and again that it was important. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in my experience.
One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road. I was very happy because I thought I could talk with him in English. And 1 . As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner shook his head, saying, "You don’t say! You don’t say!" I was surprised. "Why?" I thought, "Perhaps this is not a proper topic.
