Question

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

   It is necessary but difficult for English beginners to memorize new words, and long lists of words

seem to make the mission impossible. They are puzzled why they try to memorize words with great ef-

forts but forget them easily. That's why there are often inquiries about how to memorize new words.

1.  Here are some tips to help.

   2.  We too often separate the process of new words memorization from pronunciation. In fact

these two can be combined and each will enhance the other. Saying the word to ourselves helps acti-

vate aural(hearing) memory, which helps the memory.  3.  The more familiar we are with the word,

the greater chance we will have to keep it for the rest of our life.

    Never memorize single English words.   4.  Relate the word to terms we already know, either as

synonym or antonym. For example, the word "gargantuan" is similar in meaning to words "gigantic",

”huge" and "large". Make a sequence of words: "small, medium, large, gigantic, and gargantuan".

Create a mental image of the word that involves strong emotions. Think, "The gargantuan whale is go-

ing to swallow me whole".

    Learning English words requires action. Complaining how difficult it is to memorize new words

will be of little help. 5.  Have a try with ten words a day and you will see what a difference you will

make in our English learning.

A. So take action right now.

B. Speak the word while memorizing it.

C. Memorizing new words is very important.

D. Actually, some have given up learning new words.

E. In fact, learning new words needn't be that difficult.

F. Make as many associations and connections as possible.

G. The sound of word helps us recall the spelling and familiarizes us with the word.

【解析】

试题分析：本文就如何记单词提出了几点建议。

1.考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据上文“单词记完很快忘掉，经常有人咨询如何记单词”，本处“事实上学习单词没那么困难”承接上文，同时引出下文“提出几点建议”，前后衔接自然，符合语境。故选E。

2.B考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据下句“不要把记忆单词和读音分解”，故本处“边读边记”符合题意。故选B。

3.G考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据上句“读出来有利于记忆”和下句“越熟悉越不容易遗忘”，本处“出声音记忆单词能够帮助我们回顾它的拼写，熟悉单词”承上启下，符合语境。故选G。

4.F考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据上句“不要孤立的记单词”，“本处”尽可能地联系（其它事物）”承接上文，符合语境。故选F。

5.A考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据上句“抱怨没用”，本处“行动起来”与本段第一句“requires action”对应，符合语境。故选A。

高考七选五解题方法

1.通读全文，了解文章大意。这是一个泛读的过程，目的是了解文章大意，为以后的理解做铺垫。

2.分析句型，了解语法构成。

3.当我们了解了文章大意后，要明确每一个空是填一个整句子还是半个句子。这一点十分重要，它能够帮助我们迅速确定某些空的选项范围，比如，有一个空的结尾处没有标点符号，后文紧跟着一个句子的后半部分，很显然这时我们需要填的是半个句子，这时便可以在七个选项中找到是半个句子的选项，从而缩小选择范围。比如37小题，考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据下句“不要把记忆单词和读音分解”，故本处“边读边记”符合题意。故选B。

4.明确关联关系。任何句子都是要么和上文有联系，要么和下文有联系，要么和上下文都有联系。比如38小题，考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据上句“读出来有利于记忆”和下句“越熟悉越不容易遗忘”，本处“出声音记忆单词能够帮助我们回顾它的拼写，熟悉单词”承上启下，符合语境。故选G。

5.带入通读，复查

做完题目切忌直接离开，这是我们很有必要将自己修正好的文章通读一遍，将其看做一片行文通顺语意连贯的文章来读，这是如果感到有含义不连贯的地方，很有可能是我们填错了空，就要复查了，注意：七选五的特点在于，错一道，往往还会错另外的一道或几道，我们叫做"连错"，所以当你发现自己有一处填的有问题时，一定要同时检查其他空。
