七选五阅读是近几年高考阅读理解的一个新题型,文章的体裁以说明文和议论文居多。题材主要涉及文化、教育、体育、未来规划、工作实务等内容。文章本身难度略低于常规阅读试题,但是因为在给出的七个选项中,有的选项区分度不大,所以七选五阅读试题的难度实际上比常规阅读试题的难度有所增加,而且会出现由于一处误选导致多处错选的后果。本文旨在对七选五阅读题型中出现的常见错误类型进行剖析,以期提高同学们对七选五阅读题的应试能力。
忽略词汇衔接造成的错误

例1 (2013北京卷) The migration (迁移) of people from the countryside to the city—was the result of modernization, which has rapidly transformed how people live and where they live.
In 1990, fewer than 40% of Americans lived in urban areas. Today, over 82% of Americans live in cities. Only about 2% live on farms. 3
Large cities were impossible until agriculture became industrialized. Even in advanced agricultural societies.
A. That kept cities very small.
B. The rest live in small towns.
C. The effects of urban living on people should be considered.
D. Soon many other industrial nations become urban societies.
E. But even 200 years ago, only a few people could live in cities.
F. Modernization drew people to the cities and made farmers more productive.
G. Modern cities have destroyed social relations and the health of human beings.
答案 B。
分析 部分同学忽略了82%和2%都属于100%这个整体数字的一部分,去掉82%和2%还有16%,故为“剩下的”(the rest)。还有一部分同学可能没有很好地利用文中的词汇衔接信息。空格前出现了40%、82%、2%这三个百分数,属于数字的一种,那么后文作为全段的一部分,很可能也是关于数量的句子。这是对同学们一种明显的提示。
点拨 英语词汇衔接关系分为词的复现和同现关系。词的复现指的是某一词以原词、同义词、近义词、上下义词、概括词或其他形式重复出现在语篇中。文章的句子通过这种复现关系,达到相互衔接、意义完整。词的同现关系指的是词汇共同出现的倾向性。七选五阅读语篇的上下文语境中往往有同义词、近义词、近义表达等,甚至有相同词汇的重复使用。词汇衔接关系是我们解题很好的线索。
