5.A【分析】这是一篇说明文。你多久没和家人一起吃饭了？研究表明，全家共享的晚餐机会越多，孩子吸烟、喝酒、抑郁和饮食失调的可能性就越小，他们在学校表现越好，越了解如何社交。【1题详解】根据上一句Onceuponatimethesituationwasdifferent可知，从前与上一段的描述情况不同，每天晚上，家人都会聚在一起吃饭，此处描写从前的场景：每天晚上，餐桌上都会铺上简单的桌布，盘子，刀叉，勺子都会井然摆开。故选B。【2题详解】根据上文的以前和现在情况的对比和下文的回答Thedataseemstopointtotwomainissues:overworkedparentsandoverscheduledchildren.可知，此处应为设问句，其问题内容为“然而，是什么导致了今天家庭聚餐的减少呢？”选D。【3题详解】根据上一句Andsometimesthedeepestandmostmeaningfultimesinafamilyarenotatthetableatall.可知，有时，家庭中最深刻、最有意义的时刻根本不在餐桌上。而空格后一句说到餐桌的重要性，因此此处应为转折的意思，“然而，一家人围坐在一起吃晚饭的时刻仍有其独特之处”，选G。【4题详解】本段重点描述全家围绕餐桌一同就餐的好处，上一句提到了在餐桌上孩子们牙牙学语，E项中they指代前句中的children，而且also一词的使用表明了与上一句的逻辑衔接关系，意为“他们同时也能学会好的餐桌礼仪，那是让他们受益终生的东西”，故选E。【5题详解】根据上一句Amealisaboutcivilizingchildren.可知，一家人共进晚餐对教化孩子意义重大，这是教育孩子传承家庭文化的机会，故选A。【点睛】七选五的解题技巧之一是根据上下文词汇来锁定线索。即：要关注空白前后的名词和动词，然后在选项中查找它们的近义词、反义词、同义词、同类词等。其次是一些专有名词，比如数词、代词、时间、年代、地点/名称等。如在本文中，第1小题中的“dinningtable”，“asimplecloth”与文中后一句“Plates,forksandspoons”为呼应关系；第3小题中的“somethingunique”与下文theplacewhereafamilybuildsanidentity有顺承关系；第4小题中的“they”，第5小题中的“them”，均指代上一句中的children。B【答案解析】1.B

4.D

5.F这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了百老汇的历史。【1题详解】根据上一句WhenpeoplethinkofBroadway,theymaythinkofthatpartoftheworld-famousroadinNewYorkCitythatrunsbetween42ndand53rdStreets.当人们想到百老汇时，他们可能会想到纽约著名的42街和53街之间的那部分路。下一句Itisabillion-dollarindustrythatincludestheatricalshowsinNewYorkandlivetheaterentertainmentthroughouttheworld.这是一个十亿美元的产业，包括纽约的戏剧表演和世界各地的现场戏剧表演。选项B“然而，百老汇不仅仅是一个地理位置”与上文构成转折，引出下文，符合语境。故选B。【2题详解】根据上一句Aplayhousemusthave500ormoreseatstobeconsideredaBroadwaytheater.剧院必须有500个或更多的座位才能被认为是百老汇剧院。选项C“可容纳100至499人的剧院被称为“外百老汇剧院”与上文联系紧密，符合语境。故选C。【3题详解】根据上一句Somepeoplemayhavedoubtedthesetheaterswouldbesuccessful,buttheyturnedouttobe.有些人可能怀疑这些影院会不会成功，但事实证明它们是成功的。选项G“马洛里家族于1880年建造的麦迪逊广场剧院就是其中之一”是上文提到的成功剧院的一个例子，符合语境。故选G。【4题详解】根据上一句Unlikeactorsbeforehim,Boothdidnotstandstillonthestageandsimplydeliverhislines.与之前的演员不同，EdwinBooth并不是站在舞台上，只是简单地说出他的台词。选项D“相反，他喜欢四处走动，在表演时表现出强烈的感情”与上文为转折关系，符合语境。故选D。【5题详解】根据下一句Specifically,comediesanddramasoftencentredonthen-currenteventssuchaswomen'srighttovote,theLaborMovement,andwar.具体来说，喜剧和戏剧通常围绕当时的时事，如妇女投票权、劳工运动和战争。选项F“随着这种新风格的流行，节目的内容也开始改变”承接下文，符合语境。故选F。C【答案解析】1.E

5.C【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章讲述的是对职场穿便装的争论。【1题详解】根据上文Itisthedaywhenshecanwearasweaterandcasualtrousersinsteadofbusinesssuit（这一天，她可以穿毛衣和休闲裤代替职业装。）可知，她喜欢远离她平时考究的职业装和高跟鞋的这一天。故选E。【2题详解】根据上句：另一个贡献者是传真，语音邮件和电子邮件，这减少了公众接触。故下句要表达的意思是：随着更少的办公室会议，人们对穿着的印象越来越少，对舒适的要求也越来越高。故选G。【3题详解】根据前文Someworkersremainstronglyopposed.（一些工人仍然强烈反对。），可知与之相匹配的应该是F项Othersworrythatdressingcasuallylowersanemployer’sprofessionalimage.（其他人担心着装随便会降低雇主的职业形象。）。Some...;others...“一些……，另一些……”，故选F。【4题详解】根据下句：一些专家认为它总有一天会消失。故A项Willthedress-downtrendlast?（这种着装倾向会持续吗？）符合语境，故选A。【5题详解】根据上句：生意人不知道该穿什么，并且许多人早上只穿任何他们喜欢的东西。再根据下句：他们认为在工作中穿衣打扮是社会降低其工作效率的标志之一。可知此空的意思应该是：休闲服装趋势让一些时尚人士担心。【点睛】七选五阅读题，有部分题出现在每一段的开始位置，若问题在段首1.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。2.与后文是并列、转折、因果关系等。着重阅读后文第一两句，锁定线索信号词，然后在选项中查找相关特征词。一般来说正确答案与它后面的一句话的在意思上是衔接的，所以通常情况下，这两句话中会有某种的衔接手段。3.段落间的过渡句。这时要前瞻后望找到启示，即阅读上一段结尾部分，通常正确答案与上一段结尾有机地衔接起来，并结合下一段内容，看所选的答案是否将两段内容连贯起来。小题4根据下句：一些专家认为它总有一天会消失。故A项Willthedress-downtrendlast?（这种着装倾向会持续吗？）符合语境，故选A。D【答案解析】1.A

4.C

5.B【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了课间活动—提到了其对于学生的有利之处，但在推广时面临的大的阻碍—老师和学校的犹豫不决。【1题详解】根据后文“Manyteachersareincludingsomeformofmovementintotheschoolday.(许多老师在上课的时候会安排一些活动。)”可知，设空句应对之前提及自己女儿的老师行为进行解释，她不是唯一一个这样安排课程的。选项A“Mykids'teachersarecertainlynotalone.(我孩子的老师当然不是唯一这样做的人。)”符合分析，且按照词汇对应原则，呼应前文提及的“theirteachers”。故选A项。【2题详解】根据前文“Arecentresearch,publishedinthejournalPediatrics,involvedmorethan10,000childrenbetweentheagesof4and13.”提及了一项研究调查，可推知设空句应是对这项调查结果进行解释。选项F“Itshowsthatkidswhogetextraphysicalactivityinschooldobetterincognitiv
