Sharing bread, whether during a special occasion or at the family dinner table, is a common symbol of togetherness. Many

Early forms of cake were simply a kind of bread, so this tradition has its roots in the custom of sharing bread. Food also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations. In the southern Unit

51、C38D39B40E【名师点睛】 七选五阅读“主要考查考生对文章的整体内容和结构以及上下文逻辑意义的理解和掌握。”可以得出以下判断：该题备选项可分为主旨概括句（文章整体内容）、过渡性句子（文章结构）和注释性句子（上下文逻辑意义）三类。其多余的两个干扰项也往往从这三方面进行设置，例如主旨概括句或过于宽泛或以偏概全或偏离主题，过渡性句子不能反映文章的行文结构，注释性句子与上文脱节等。分析篇章结构，把握全篇文脉是阅读填空题解题的关键，英语的语篇（discourse）通常是由句子和语段（sentence group）构成的，语段是句子和语篇之间的中间层次，句子虽然能够单独地表达相对完整的思想，但是它不

52、能表达多方面的、比较复杂的思想，只有把几个句子结合为较大的言语片段，才能表达一个相对独立的层意，所谓的“积句而成章，积章而成篇。”就是这个道理。 分析文章的层次包含两种形式：一种是分析整篇文章的层次，也就是段落，另一种是分析每一个段落内部的层次，也就是语篇层次。语篇与段落是有区别的，语段是篇章结构的中间层次，是由句子到篇的一种过渡形式，段落（paragraph）是在某些语体（如记叙文、议论文）中比语段更大的意义单位，较小的段落可以只包括一个语段或一个句子，一般来说，一个段落通常由几个语段构成。构成语段的方式有两种，一是靠句际间意义的结合，二是靠句际间的关联词，逻辑性插入语来连接，在分析语段层次

53、时，可以借助句际间的连接词语作出判断，但最主要的还是要真正体会句际间的意义关系，把握作者的思路，从语序上去发现断续点，理清层次，好文章的层次非常清晰，只有层层入手，才能真正理解文章。其实，“七选五”跟传统题型完形填空有相似之处，只要考生选择的答案能够使行文连贯，符合英文的语法以及习惯表达就行。另外，从该题型给出的选项中我们可以发现一些特点：该题型选项大致可分为主旨概括句（文章整体内容）、过渡性句子（文章结构）和注释性句子（上下文逻辑意义）三类。另外两个多余的干扰项也可以通过这三个特点来排除，例如主旨概括句要么过于宽泛要么以偏概全或偏离主题；过渡性句子不能反映文章的行文结构；注释性句子与上文脱节

54、等。一、先通读选项，理解句意，同时掌握选项特点并比较语义重心的异同。比如，通过阅读选项，有可能找出跟其他选项表达完全不同意思的句子，这样的话我们就可以直接将该选项排除。二、再通读全文，了解大意并分析篇章结构，着重看空前空后。由于“七选五”空出的是句子，而这些句子与句子之间，必然有一种联系。因此，我们可以通过选项中某个名词或动词跟空前或空后的一致性或者相关性来确定这两个句子之间的关联性，从而选择正确的答案。三、根据语境线索选择答案，注意抓住其关键词语。语境线索主要指反映上下文关系的衔接手段，如篇章结构、词语重现、逻辑、连接、指称、同构等。1.篇章结构通常为总-分或总-分-总。2.词语重现不是指词

55、语的简单再现，而是指某个词语可能以不同的词类、性、数、格、时、体、态等形式出现。考点：考查说明文阅读 第三部分 英语知识运用第一节 完形填空 (共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Many students often say that they dont have “ enough time” to do all their schoolwork.My 41 is often brief, “You have as much time as the president.”

56、 I usually carry on a bit about there being twenty-four hours in the day for 42 , and suggest that “not enough time” is not an 43 explanation of not getting something 44 . 45 in graduate school, I tried to prove to one of my professors 46 saying that I was working hard.
