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1小题，考查句意理解和上下文，根据下一句：一个重要的大学在一千多年以前的埃及开始。可知此处应填：然而，大学不是一个现代的发明。根据句意可知可知此处填的是一个完整的句子，故选E。

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2小题，考查句意理解和上下文，根据下一句：开罗市的领导决定创建一个学校提供更高的学习，不久后，爱资哈尔大学成立。可知此处应填：大约在988年，一个新的决定诞生了。故选D

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。
