點評 七選五題型看似簡單，實際上有時完全作對并不容易，需要方法和分析能力及足夠的耐力，有必要進行專門練習(xí)．首先，快速瀏覽一遍七個備選答案，先確定哪個選項適合放在文章的什么位置．其次，快速瀏覽文章，確定文章體裁，抓住文章結(jié)構(gòu)，分析篇章結(jié)構(gòu)，找出各段的主題句或主旨大意．其三，注意各選項中出現(xiàn)的句子銜接手段，尋找句中銜接標志詞，七選五備選答案中有兩個多余的選項，會對文章中兩個空的選擇構(gòu)成干擾，這時要特別細致地比對相似選項．最后，用代入法，檢查答案是否合理，將所有選擇答案放回空白處，通讀全文，檢查文章內(nèi)容是否語義連貫合理、緊扣主題，語篇結(jié)構(gòu)是否通順連貫、具有一致性、合乎邏輯，寫作思路是否清晰明了，格式以及用語是否恰當貼切，從而判斷選擇的答案是否正確．
