一、问题在段首或是小标题
如果问题在段首或是小标题，通常是考查主题。认真阅读下文内容，根据段落一致性的原则，查找同义词或其他相关的词，推断出主题。关注每段首尾句，了解大意。方法是:分析选项关键词是否与原文、段落主旨吻合。排除过于宽泛、以偏概全、偏离主题的干扰项。七选五文章通常分为若干小段落，各段落会根据整体文章写作主题展开，对文章主题进行不同方面的描述。因此，解题时，应在有限的时间内对文章进行快速浏览，抓住文章结构及主要内容。另外，还可以通过句式结构来判断，例如祈使句类的短句，肯定或否定的陈述句。
【典例1】(2014全国卷Ⅰ)The jobs of the future have not yet been invented. 36 By helping them develop classic skills that will serve them well no matter what the future holds....
4.Selfexpression
40 There are many ways to express thoughts and ideas — music, acting, drawing, building, photography. You may find that your child is attracted by one more than another.
G.Being able to communicate ideas in a meaningful way is a valuable skill.
【分析】 40.G 。有两方面依据：(1)由本段第二句的'many ways to express thoughts and ideas'和第三句的'attracted by one more than another'都体现了'communicate ideas in a meaningful way'，即前后文内容一致;(2)与本文首段的'By helping them develop classic skills that will serve them well no matter what the future holds'相呼应。
二、问题在段中
如果问题在段中，要细读备选项，巧用与文章相对应的线索词。解题时，应重点阅读备选项和文章空白处的上下文，圈定文章中的线索词，明确试题考查要素，结合选项中的关键词，形成重要的选择依据。此时，有的混淆选项干扰性较大，可能出现只能与空格前一句连贯或后一句连贯的现象。
【典例2】(2016全国卷Ⅰ)There are three main types of cryptography. 37 For example, the first letters of 'My elephant eats too many eels' spell out the hidden message 'Meet me.'..
A. code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the
message of a real code, you must have a code book. 39 For example,
'bridge' might stand for 'meet' and 'out' might stand for 'me.' The message
'Bridge out' would actually mean 'Meet me.'
E. You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it
out.
F. With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other
words.
【分析】37.E。本题考查句子之间的解释例证关系。从后面文章的举例'For example, the first letters of
‘My elephant eats too many eels’ spell out the hidden message ‘Meet
me.’'可知，空处应该是对例子的概括，即我们可以运用每个单词的首字母来组成密码，故选E项。
39.F。本题考查的是逻辑关系，从上一句'To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book'可知，你需要用〖HJ3.7mm〗解码书来找出密码单词所对应的真正意思，故F项正确。
三、如果问题在段尾
如果问题在段尾，通常是结论、概括性的语句。注意在选项中查找表示结果、结论、总结等的信号词，如therefore, as a result, in short, to sum up, in a word等词语。
【典例3】（2017百校联盟）Making good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation. A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of health information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to find relevant information, how to separate fact from opinion, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources. 36
G. The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources.
【分析】36.G。本段基本上起到统领全篇的作用。第36题设在本段的结尾，紧接下来的几段都为建议，因此本题选择G项。
