Answer 1

【答案】

【1】G

【2】F

【3】C

【4】D

【5】E

【解析】

本文是说明文，介绍了美国学校精神周的目的和各种庆祝活动。

【1】此题是词汇推测。根据下一句have one primary goal和That goal is to…可知，此段说的是学校精神周的目的。选项G意为：精神周的主要目的是让孩子们支持学校。primary goal和选项G中的main purpose 是同义词复现。故选G 项。

【2】此题是代词指代和逻辑线索。此段是说明精神周的目的。选项F意为：这也是确认在那个赛季中参加比赛的运动队时候。选项F也是说明精神周的目的之一，其中it 指代Spirit Week，also表示递进关系。故选F项。

【3】此段谈论的是精神周的各种活动。空前一句谈论的是“学生通过穿识别性的服装表示对学校的支持”，空后一句提到Monday …Tuesday's Hawaiian shirt day…Wednesday's silly T-shirt day..Thursday… Friday's school colors day可知， 学生一周中每天着装不一样。选项C意为：他们一周中的每一天都可以穿不同的。选项C是承上启下。故选C 项。

【4】选项D意为： 孩子们不是唯一为精神周打扮的人；下文提到“学生用横幅、海报和其他装饰品装饰墙壁、大厅和教室”。选项D中be dressed up 和下一句decorate意思相近。是词汇复现。故选D 项。

【5】空前一句提到“因为父母也喜欢精神周”；选项E意为：看到孩子们对学校活动充满热情，他们非常高兴。选项E说明父母喜欢精神周的原因。故选E项。

七选五做题技巧

1. 略读文章抓大意

即以最快的速度跳跃式地浏览文章的大小标题、首段、每段的首句，以及表示句、段关系的连接性词语，如however, but等词后的内容，以了解文章的基本结构和内容大意。

如此篇文章可以跳跃式地浏览文章，会发现每一小段的首句就是该小段的主题句。第一段是主题是“学校举行精神周”，第二段主题是“精神周的目的”，第三段主题是“精神周的活动”。

2. 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3小题，空前一句谈论的是“学生通过穿识别性的服装表示对学校的支持”，空后一句谈论“学生一周每天穿的不同的衣服”。选项C是承上启下，从而推断出选项。

3. 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1小题此题线索是词汇复现。空后一句中的primary goal和选项G中的main purpose 是同义词复现，从而确定选项。

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。

4. 代词、逻辑亦管用

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

如第2小题，选项F中，it 指代Spirit Week，also表示递进关系。代词指代和逻辑可以帮助确定选项。
