点评 七选五题型看似简单,实际上有时完全作对并不容易,需要方法和分析能力及足够的耐力,有必要进行专门练习.首先,快速浏览一遍七个备选答案,先确定哪个选项适合放在文章的什么位置.其次,快速浏览文章,确定文章体裁,抓住文章结构,分析篇章结构,找出各段的主题句或主旨大意.其三,注意各选项中出现的句子衔接手段,寻找句中衔接标志词,七选五备选答案中有两个多余的选项,会对文章中两个空的选择构成干扰,这时要特别细致地比对相似选项.最后,用代入法,检查答案是否合理,将所有选择答案放回空白处,通读全文,检查文章内容是否语义连贯合理、紧扣主题,语篇结构是否通顺连贯、具有一致性、合乎逻辑,写作思路是否清晰明了,格式以及用语是否恰当贴切,从而判断选择的答案是否正确.

An artist named Johanna Basford pretty much owns two slots of the top seven books on Amazon,next to household names like Erik Larson and Dr.Phil.But Basford's books aren't novels---they're collections of black-and-white drawings.The artist,who graduated from design school in 2005and is based in Scotland,has turned her lovely ink drawings into coloring books"for grownups."And they're wildly popular,selling millions of copies.
What is it about these books that has made them so popular with adults?Basford told me that when she first suggested to publishers the idea of a grownup coloring book four years ago,"colouring for adults wasn't the trend it is now.You can imagine how quiet they went after I suggested it."
But the book she ended up drawing has become a phenomenon:2013's Secret Garden:An Inky Treasure Hunt and Coloring Book is currently#2on Amazon's Top 100and has sold 1.4million copies.The followup,Enchanted Forest:An Inky Quest & Coloring Book,is#6right now.Why is coloring suddenly a craze amongst grownups?
Basford pointed to some reasons---first,that coloring books are a way for adults who don't normally draw or paint to be creative."A blank sheet of paper can be discouraging,but a colouring book acts as a bit of a buffer(缓冲) in this situation,"she says.
Second,coloring books don't require anywhere near as much logical thought as,say,drawing a portrait.There are psychological benefits,too:
"I've heard from so many people ranging from lawyers,financial advisers,business owners and busy mums,all say the same thing:that colouring helps them relax.Then there're people who are recovering from illness or dealing with a difficult time in their lives,they too find the calming effects of colouring is beneficial to them."
What's so striking about Secret Garden and Enchanted Forest is that they've managed to stay at the top of Amazon's best seller list as physical books,alongside those that can be instantly downloaded and read.Basford hears that too:She points out that her books are an activity that can be done without the help of your wifi router."It's a chance to unplug,look away from the screens and do something fun,"she says.Maybe Basford has plugged into a vast and unacknowledged desire to really,actually do nothing---to let the brain take over,without the technology.
