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。

Different cultures

The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot. 1._____

The origin of the Eastern cultures is mainly from two countries: China and India. Both of the two cultures are developed by rivers—the Yellow River in China and the Indus River in India. 2.________

When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture, another famous culture was brought up on the Mesopotamian Plain—the Mesopotamian Civilization. This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. 3._______ Like the Chinese culture, the European culture also crossed waters. When the British settled down in America, their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean. So the American culture doesn't distinguish from the European culture a lot.

4.________ Take the language system for example. In the East, most languages belong to the pictographic language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system. Other causes like human race difference counts as well. But what's more, due to the far distance and the steep, areas between the East and West, the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries. So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no interference(干扰)  from the other.

These differences are everywhere. 5.________ But different cultures make the world of 21st century more colourful. The cultural gap should not be the obstacle (障碍)  to the civilization of human being. It ought to be the motivation of our going farther.

A．Let us work together to keep a variety of culture.

B．One important thing is to learn about other cultures.

C．And these two are well known as the base of the European culture.

D．At the same time, some other differences add to the cultural differences.

E．This is because the culture systems are two separate systems on the whole.

F．They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles.

G．They are obvious and affect people's ways of thinking and their views of the world.

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，上一句这两种文化都是由河流发展而来的——中国的黄河和印度的印度河，故选F他们使得这两种文化发展并且形成自己的风格。

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36小题东西方文化相差很大。故选E这是因为东西方文化是两个不同的文化系统。

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。
