【1】 This date was the old mid-winter festival in pre-Christmas times, around the time of the longest night and the shortest day. Christmas in the 21st century has many traditions: Christmas trees, cards and presents. Shops can make about 60 percent of their year’s income in the three months before Christmas, so most shops get ready for it in October. 【2】 The first time this happened was in 1867 when Macy’s famous shop in New York, stayed open until midnight on Christmas Eve.

By mid-December, almost every shop and street has a Christmas tree. 【3】 In the northern countries, winter is cold and dark and most trees are decorated with lights and colored glass balls to give people hope that spring will come.

Father Christmas is known across the world with his white hair, red coat and big bag of toys. Young children are told that he lives in the north of Finland and makes toys for them. 【4】

On Christmas Day a traditional meal is eaten, usually a turkey and a rich, spicy cake. Some people hate Christmas. 【5】 They love seeing family and friends; they also love the traditions. Love it or hate it, Christmas is a time to look back over the old year and forward to the new one.

試題分析：本文介紹了圣誕節(jié)的歷史由來，人們會在圣誕節(jié)購物，火雞是圣誕節(jié)的傳統(tǒng)事物，不管人們喜歡與否，圣誕節(jié)都是回望過去展望未來的意義。

【1】C考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。從句子This date was the old mid-winter festival in pre-Christmas times,可以看出This date was festival，中心在festival 和選項中Christmas Day 一致。故選C。

【2】E考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。從句子stayed open until midnight on Christmas Eve.可以看出和選項E有聯(lián)系。故選E。

【3】A考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。從句子most trees are decorated with lights and colored glass balls give people hope that spring will come.key words "most trees"以及前面的almost every shop and street has a Christmas tree可見它歷史悠久，與A項相符。故選A。

【4】G考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。從前面的句子makes toys for them可看出，后面的內(nèi)容與toy有關(guān)。故選G。

【5】D考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。從后面的句子They love seeing family and friends; they also love the traditions. 可知前面要講的是有很多人喜愛它。故選D。

高考七選五解題方法

1.通讀全文，了解文章大意。這是一個泛讀的過程，目的是了解文章大意，為以后的理解做鋪墊。

2.分析句型，了解語法構(gòu)成

3.當我們了解了文章大意后，要明確每一個空是填一個整句子還是半個句子。這一點十分重要，它能夠幫助我們迅速確定某些空的選項范圍，比如，有一個空的結(jié)尾處沒有標點符號，后文緊跟著一個句子的后半部分，很顯然這時我們需要填的是半個句子，這時便可以在七個選項中找到是半個句子的選項，從而縮小選擇范圍。比如第36題，后面的句子的主語就是this date...開篇就是這個，來的莫名其妙，可知前面的橫線上肯定介紹了一個節(jié)日，否則不會用this這個詞，故選C。

4.明確關(guān)聯(lián)關(guān)系。任何句子都是要么和上文有聯(lián)系，要么和下文有聯(lián)系，要么和上下文都有聯(lián)系。比如40題，前面一句講的是人們討厭圣誕節(jié)，后面一句講的是人們對圣誕的喜愛之情，可知填空處肯定是這兩種感情的轉(zhuǎn)折。故選D。

5.帶入通讀，復(fù)查

做完題目切忌直接離開，這是我們很有必要將自己修正好的文章通讀一遍，將其看做一片行文通順語意連貫的文章來讀，這是如果感到有含義不連貫的地方，很有可能是我們填錯了空，就要復(fù)查了，注意：七選五的特點在于，錯一道，往往還會錯另外的一道或幾道，我們叫做"連錯"，所以當你發(fā)現(xiàn)自己有一處填的有問題時，一定要同時檢查其他空。

【題目】Almost everyone accepts the fact that crime can never be wiped out entirely. Thus control of crime becomes the focus of police and government around the world. The question lawmakers must answer is, “Which system of criminal punishment works best for society?” Each country has developed its own ideas for solution to this question, and these solutions then determine how criminals are punished under different systems. However, none of the current system in use has proved 100 percent effective. There are many ideas about punishment of criminals. Some systems look only to (傾向于) get retribution (懲罰) against criminals. These systems work to frighten criminals away from repeating a crime in the future.

These systems also try to deter (威懾) others in society by using the criminal as an example of what can happen to a person if he or she is caught committing crimes. Rehabilitation (悔過) is another philosophy by which many systems of punishment operate. The goal of these systems is to return a former criminal to society after a required period of treatment and training, usually in prisons. The idea is to help change the person's behavior and approach so that he or she becomes a law-abiding citizen.

Capital punishment is another form of punishment which systems use in extreme criminal cases, sometimes involving such crimes as a murder, rape, and violent theft. In these cases, the person is put to death. Today, capital punishment is used in relatively few countries. Many countries have done away with it. In other words, capital punishment remains only in officially law books but is rarely used. However, capital punishment remains in use in some countries including the United States.

【1】The police around the world usually concentrate their attention on_______ .

A. how to catch the person who commits crimes

B. how to punish the person who commits crimes

C. how to control crimes

D. how to determine the system of punishment of criminals

【2】Different purposes of the systems of criminal punishment are mentioned in the passage except_________ .

A. to frighten criminals and stop them from committing crimes again

B. to warn others in society not to commit crimes

C. to reform criminals and help them return to society

D. to help criminals get some knowledge of law

【3】Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Many countries including the USA have got rid of capital punishment.

B. In some countries capital punishment can only be found in law books, but it is hardly used.

C. Capital punishment is only used in extreme criminal cases.

D. Some countries including China still use capital punishment

【題目】There are various aspects that go into making a successful school, and success can be measured in various ways. Often, the teachers are praised for a school’s success and blamed for its failure. Yet, in order for a school to be effective, it must be a place where teaching and learning can easily take place, and that requires the hard work of more than just educators. Students must take learning into their own hands and feel as if what they are doing is as important as it actually is. This can only be done with the cooperation of every adult that is involved in the students’ life. Some of these individuals often go unnoticed, yet the role they play in the students’ lives is immeasurable.

In the school, administrative assistants greet students at the start of the day and answer a large quantity of questions. When an assistant remembers a student’s name or even something special about that student, it communicates to him that he is cared for. The assistant can also give that extra encouragement for a student to make better choices, especially when they are visiting the principal’s office.

Meanwhile, though cafeteria workers have a short space of time to interact with students, they can make a big difference as well. Beyond meeting nutritional needs, cafeteria workers may also on occasion meet the emotional needs of the students they serve. Students benefit from positive interaction with adults, and cafeteria workers may give that extra bit of encouragement that a child needs.

Custodians (管理員) are usually underappreciated for what they offer to schools. They have to be knowledgeable about everything from cleaning to fixing the most intricate (復(fù)雜的) tools. They get to school early in the morning before teachers arrive and lock up late at night after the last student has left from the after-school event. They also make sure teachers are equipped with the necessary items and prepare the rooms so that they are ready for learning. A great custodian also gives that kind word or extra smile to that student who needs it most.

【1】The purpose of the passage is to _______.

A. emphasize the role teachers play in a school

B. highlight the contributions of other staff at school besides teachers.

C. tell us who make the greatest contributions to a school

D. explain what contributes to the success of a student

【2】If an assistant remembers a student’s name, the student will feel that _________.

A. he is paid particular attention to B. he is special

C. he has done something wrong D. he has made progress in study

【3】Which of the following is TRUE about cafeteria workers?

A. It’s enough for them to cook for the students.

B. It’s hard for them to interact with the students.

C. They have the most interaction with students at school.

D. They can also meet the emotional needs of the students.

【4】How does the author feel about the staff mentioned in the text?

A. Disappointed. B. Dissatisfied. C. Appreciative. D. Doubtful.

【題目】There are a number of advantages when it comes to living alone. However, it also comes with a few safety concerns. You still never know who will be around the corner. Don’t be another victim; be sure to follow our tips.

1. All doors should be kept locked.

Always keep your doors locked when you are in your apartment or dorm. Make sure the doors are closed behind you when you come into the building and never leave your room unlocked, even when you are in it. There’s always a chance that someone might sneak in while you are unaware. Always try to remember to close doors behind you to ensure your safety.

2. Don’t lose your keys.

Even if you do everything you can to keep the doors locked, criminals might still be able to e into your house with a key. Always know where your keys are to prevent this. Never put them down in a public place or give them to friends. Also, before you bring your car into the repair shop, take off the house keys.

3. When it comes to safety, standing up for yourself is important.

If you aren’t getting all the security features you want, don’t be afraid to ask. If your lighting situation is less than ideal, discuss this with your supervisor or landlord. Talk to the campus security organization if you think a security phone near your dorm is a good idea. Request that the building employ someone to monitor those entering and leaving the building. You should feel safe where you reside (居住于), so stand up for your rights.

4. Be careful.

You still might find yourself in a potentially dangerous situation. Check your peephole (窺視孔) before letting anyone in. Whenever you witness something around your building that makes you uncomfortable or suspicious just dial 911. It is a good idea to always walk with a friend instead of alone. Be familiar with people who live in the building, so you can keep track of anyone that is a stranger.
