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，上一句可知牛顿坐在自家的花园中，看见苹果从树上落下，故选F他开始思考，试着找到苹果落下的理由。

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39小题，上一句可知瓦特改造了蒸汽发动机，使得以蒸汽动力的很多东西被改善。故选E当你看见一架蒸汽船，记住如果不是某人的思考，它就不会被制造出来。

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。
