【名师点睛】：

不同的文章有不同的结构形式，在七选五阅读中确定文章体裁有利于我们确定各段之间的关系。一般说来，记叙文的语言是按时间发展顺序或因果关系排列的，常用的连接词有：then, later, after that, soon, after a while, in the end, so, as a result, because of that等。说明文常采用总—分-总的结构形式，第一段说明要说明的主题，下面几段多是从不同的角度来说明问题，最后总结，所以各段之间多是平行关系，经常出现举例说明的现象。议论文先抛出议题，然后从正反两个方面进行讨论，最后得出结论。新闻体裁的应用文首句为主题句，下面展开细节性的报道。
以本文为例，本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位青少年向其他近视儿童捐赠眼镜的故事。这类文体我们就需要根据作者叙述的事情的发展来选择合适的答案。以本文的第一小题为例，由该空前的a big problem一个大问题和空后的he hadlearned nothing that day他那天什么也没学到，我们可想象为什么他那天什么也没学到，通读全文，我们知道此篇文章跟眼镜有关，反观选项，可知E项He could not see much of what was going on in his classroom.，他看不清教室里发生了什么事，内容符合此处语境。故选E。
