Answer 1

【答案】

【1】F

【2】C

【3】A

【4】G

【5】E

【解析】

本文是议论文。文章提出了几条可以帮助我们远离可能的危险的建议。

【1】此题线索是词汇复现。空前一句提到“世界是一个危险的地方，尤其是晚上” ；选项F意思为：幸运的是，你可以做些事情远离可能的危险。选项F中“ danger”与空前一句中的“dangerous” 是同根词复现。选项F与上一句语义顺承。故选F项。

【2】此题是逻辑线索。空前一句提到 “不要打电话或听音乐”；选项C意思为：相反，要注意你周围的人。选项C与上一句语义转折，其中instead表示转折意义；选项C中“people round you”与上文的“your surroundings”是同畴词。故选C项。

【3】此题线索是词汇复现。空前一句提到 “穿颜色鲜艳的衣服。”；选项A意思为：鲜艳的颜色可以在不同的方面帮助你。选项A中“Bright colors”与上一句的“brightly colored”是同根词复现。故选A项。

【4】此题线索是代词指代。该段首句也是该段的主题句“要确保别人知道你要去哪里”；选项G意思为：如果你真的出了什么事，他们知道从哪里开始找你。选项G中的they指代空前一句中的a friend or a person，选项G与上一句语义顺承。故选G项。

【5】此题是逻辑线索，空前一句提到“如果可以的话，尽量要有那些住在你房子附近的人的电话号码”；选项E意思为：虽然你可以打电话向妈妈求助，但她可能在几千英里之外。选项E中“live thousands of miles away”与空前一句中“live next to your house”语义相反， 选项E中while表示语义的转折。该空引出下文，结合下文And as a result she may not be able to help you at all.（因此，她可能根本无法帮助你。）这正是向远在千里之外的妈妈求助，可能造成的后果的描述。故选E项。

七选五做题技巧

1. 重点阅读上下句

因为正确选项必定会与上下句之间语义衔接、逻辑通顺，解题时大多只看上句，或只看下句，就可基本确定答案。

如第1小题，空前一句提到“世界是一个危险的地方”；选项F意思为：幸运的是，你可以做些事情远离可能的危险。选项F与上一句语义顺承，从而可以推断出选项。

2. 词语复现显神功

上下文与主题相关的词语通常会以原词、同义词、近义词、同根词或同范畴词等形式在上下文中重复出现。

如第3小题此题线索是词汇复现， 选项A中“Bright colors”与上一句的“brightly colored”是同根词复现，从而可确定选项。

值得注意的是，有的题利用词语复现解题十分管用，但这并不意味着凡与上句或下句有复现词的选项就一定是正确选项，只是正确的可能性更大，在解题过程中需重点考虑或优选考虑而已。是否为正确答案，还得将含复现词的选项代入原文，看该选项与上下文是否真的衔接，只有上下衔接紧密的才是正确选项。

3. 代词、逻辑亦管用

七选五就是考查上下文之间的衔接，而代词是语篇衔接的重要手段之一，故解题中要善于利用这一衔接手段。

如第4小题，选项G中的they指代空前一句中的a friend or a person。代词指代帮助确定选项。

4.逻辑很重要

阅读时，注意句与句之间、段与段之间的总分、转折、因果、并列、递进、解释等逻辑关系，是确定选项的重要方法。

如第2小题， 空前一句提到 “不要打电话或听音乐”；选项C意思为：相反，要注意你周围的人。选项C与上一句语义转折，instead表示转折意义，从而可以确定选项。
