2024年高考英语易错题：七选五4大陷阱（学生版）（新高考专用）

易错点18七选五

易错陷阱1：段落标题类易混易错点.

【分析】

应当首先观察其他段落标题的句式结构，如果有相同结构，则可迅速缩小选择范围。标题

应当短小精悍，多为名词词组、动名词或祈使句。

易错陷阱2：段首句易混易错点。

【分析】段首句一般考查文章或段落的主题.首先应当采取形似原则，观察与其他段落首句是

否出现相同结构，一般考查祈使句的相同结构居多。其次应当研读上一段的内容，尤其是上一

段结尾的内容，结合本段内容，看选项是否符合逻辑上的紧密衔接。

易错陷阱3：段中句易混易错点.

【分析】如果设空在段中，则首先关注选项中的人称代词如，they,he,it等和空格后面的这些人

称代词。同时注重瞻前顾后，看前后是否存在例证关系、因果关系、转折关系、递进关系等。

如果考查段落间的过渡句，则可以结合词汇复现原则看是否对上句有补充说明同时和后句有正

确的逻辑关系。此类考题考生多数只看前句，不看后句.

易错陷阱4：段尾句易混易错点.

【分析】段尾句通常具有结论性和概括性，应当注意选项中是否出现表示结果、结论、总结等

的信息词。有时，段尾句和段首句呈现出首尾呼应的现象，也是检查选项的一个重要参考。
