3.考查语意理解和推理判断能力。根据空格后So give out a bit of your budget to your hobby of choice so that you cannot blame a lack of “materials” for not doing anything.得知你要拿出一部分预算花费到你的爱好上，可以得知前面说：事实上，你花钱是花在你心仪的事情上。故选F。

4.考查语意理解和推理判断能力。根据空格后If you jog, decide which races you want to do this year. If you practice music, organize a concert.如果你慢跑就参加比赛，练习音乐就组织音乐会，得知总结的段落小标题是要为爱好采取行动。故选B。

【名师点睛】

“七选五”题要求学生根据文章的结构、逻辑、上下文的内容选出相应的五句话填入空白处将文章补充完整。主要目的在于“考查考生对文章的整体内容和结构以及上下文逻辑意义的理解和掌握。”

试题的位置不同，解题策略也不同：

1．若问题在段首：通常是段落主题句。认真阅读该段落，根据段落一致性原则，查找相关词或者同义词，从而推测出主题句，找到答案。 例如___3___So give out a bit of your budget to your hobby of choice so that you cannot blame a lack of “materials” for not doing anything.根据相关词your hobby和where their heart is.，可以判断出本段是：建议我们花钱花在你心仪的事情上，故选F。

2．若问题在段尾：通常是结论、概括性语句。要注意表示总结的信号词，如therefore, as a result, hence,thus, to sum up, to conclude, in short, in a word等词语，选项中也可发现前文的同义词句。例如：As with most things, starting of getting something ready to start can be difficult. But don’ t give up. ___5___根据前面的difficult 和But don’ t，可以判断选G。

3.若问题是位于自然段中 承上启下是空格的主要任务，分析句子之间的逻辑关系及内容的连贯性，注意句子间的衔接手段。将选项代入原文，如果前后内容连贯，符合逻辑，就能得出正确答案。 例如：So, get-someone to jog with you, or make music with you, or share recipes with you. Plus, you will inspire them to keep on practicing their hobby. ___2___Put your money where your mouth is.本段前一句说“你可以激励别人练习他们的爱好”，后一句说“拿出实际行动来。”可知，A项“这是一件双赢的事情。”承上启下。
