Question

【題目】 The time-out (暫停)is a method to punish your children's misbehavior (不當(dāng)行為).Children are taken away from their present situation for a few minutes. During the time-out they are put in a place and not allowed to do anything. It's a great way to help your children calm down and realize their shortcomings. 【1】.

Decide what is worth a time-out

Find a quiet moment to discuss a time-out principle for your family, determining where you'll give time-outs, for what reasons, and for how long. 【2】. And you can make your first time-out feel prepared and calm.

Give a warning

Instead of suddenly giving a time-out to your children, warn them that they'll get one if they continue to be naughty. 【3】. At this age children are often angry without realizing it.

Giving them a time-out can make them calm. Some kids dislike time-outs very much, so that finally the warning itself does the job. However, warnings are not enough. When your children hit, kick, or bite someone, use a time-out right away.

【4】

It's a good idea to choose a time-out place, such as a chair or the end of a hallway. But remember that the place you choose needs to be safe and shouldn't be frightening.

Decide how long time-outs will last

【5】. Your children should have enough time to stop misbehaving and calm down. If it is too short or too long, your children may forget the punishment or become upset. Many experts advise one minute per year of your children's age. You can watch the clock yourself or set an alarm clock and tell them that the punishment is over when it rings.

A. Select a place

B. Use time-out regularly

C. A time-out needs enough time

D. You needn't make decisions in a hurry

E. Here are a few ways to make it work for you

F. Give your children hugs and kisses after the time-out

G. This gives them a chance to control their own behavior first

【2】D

【3】G

【4】A

【5】C

【解析】

本文為說(shuō)明文。文章主要介紹了一種處罰孩子的措施——time-out。

【1】考查對(duì)上下文的理解及推理判斷能力�？崭袼�在一段的下文主要敘述了處罰孩子有用的方法�？芍�，根據(jù)下文的內(nèi)容，可推斷出空格處的目的在于引出下文，是對(duì)下文的總結(jié) 。分析選項(xiàng)可知，E項(xiàng)Here are a few ways to make it work for you（這里有些方法對(duì)你有幫助）符合文意。故選E。

【2】考查對(duì)上下文的理解及推理判斷能力。根據(jù)本段的小標(biāo)題“Decide what is worth a time-out”決定何時(shí)運(yùn)用time-out方法。上下文“Find a quiet moment to discuss a time-out principle for your family, determining where you'll give time-outs, for what reasons, and for how long....And you can make your first time-out feel prepared and calm” 找一個(gè)安靜的時(shí)間為你的家人討論一個(gè)運(yùn)用time-out的原則，決定你將在哪里運(yùn)用，出于什么原因，以及多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間...第一次使用time-out不僅要準(zhǔn)備充分，而且要冷靜。由此可推斷出不能匆忙做決定 。分析選項(xiàng)可知D項(xiàng)You needn't make decisions in a hurry（你無(wú)需匆忙做出決定），是符合文意。故選D。

【3】考查對(duì)上下文的理解及推理判斷能力。本段小標(biāo)題是“Give a warning（發(fā)出警告）”。再根據(jù)空格上句“warn them that they'll get one if they continue to be naughty”可知，警告他們?nèi)绻�繼續(xù)淘氣，他們會(huì)得到一個(gè)time-out。結(jié)合下句“At this age children are often angry without realizing it.” 可知，這個(gè)年齡的孩子們常常不知不覺(jué)生氣，所以給他們一個(gè)time-out處罰是可以讓他們冷靜冷靜。由此可推斷出 G項(xiàng)This gives them a chance to control their own behavior first（這會(huì)先給他們一次控制他們自己行為的機(jī)會(huì)）符合文意。故選G。

【4】考查對(duì)上下文的理解及推理判斷能力。本大題是一段的小標(biāo)題。根據(jù)本段的首句“It's a good idea to choose a time-out place,... But remember that the place you choose needs to be safe and shouldn't be frightening.”可知，要找一個(gè)最好選擇一個(gè)運(yùn)用time-out的地方，...但要記住，你選擇的地方要安全，不應(yīng)該讓人害怕。可知，本段主要介紹了使用time-out要選好地點(diǎn)，故A項(xiàng)符合文意。

【5】考查對(duì)上下文的理解及推理判斷能力。根據(jù)本段的小標(biāo)題“Decide how long time-outs will last（決定time-out多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間）”。由此可知，本段與time-out的時(shí)間有關(guān)。分析選項(xiàng)可知C項(xiàng)（A time-out needs enough time）與此段意義一致，根據(jù)下文“Your children should have enough time to stop misbehaving and calm down”可知，你的孩子應(yīng)該有足夠的時(shí)間來(lái)阻止其不當(dāng)行為和冷靜下來(lái)。由此可推斷出C項(xiàng)（超時(shí)需要足夠的時(shí)間）符合文意，故選C。

七選五題型考查學(xué)生把握整篇文章的布局和邏輯層次關(guān)系和把握微觀信息間關(guān)聯(lián)性這種題一般可從以下方面來(lái)做：

（1）看首段，跳過(guò)空格快速通讀全篇，確定文章體裁，抓住文章結(jié)構(gòu)，分析篇章結(jié)構(gòu)，了解文章大意。首段的末句一般是全文的主題所在，首段的末句對(duì)于快速掌握文章的主題具有重要意義。

（2）精讀空格前后兩句，利用各種銜接手段選擇正確的選項(xiàng)填入空格。七選五空出的是整個(gè)句子，可以通過(guò)選項(xiàng)中某個(gè)名詞或動(dòng)詞跟空前或空后的一致性或者相關(guān)性來(lái)確定這兩個(gè)句子之間有一種關(guān)聯(lián)性，從而選擇正確的答案。如第3小題，本段小標(biāo)題是“Give a warning（發(fā)出警告）”。再根據(jù)空格上句“warn them that they'll get one if they continue to be naughty”可知，警告他們?nèi)绻�繼續(xù)淘氣，他們會(huì)得到一個(gè)time-out。結(jié)合下句“At this age children are often angry without realizing it.” 可知，這個(gè)年齡的孩子們常常不知不覺(jué)生氣，所以給他們一個(gè)time-out處罰是可以讓他們冷靜冷靜。由此可推斷出 G項(xiàng)This gives them a chance to control their own behavior first（這會(huì)先給他們一次控制他們自己行為的機(jī)會(huì)）符合文意。故選G。

（3）根據(jù)空前小標(biāo)題看選項(xiàng)，找出與空前空后句中心詞同義，近義或相關(guān)性的詞語(yǔ)，實(shí)現(xiàn)關(guān)鍵詞的對(duì)接，尤其是詞（或短語(yǔ)）的復(fù)現(xiàn)。先易后難，各個(gè)突破。通過(guò)閱讀選項(xiàng)，有可能根據(jù)選項(xiàng)中的關(guān)鍵詞找出正確選項(xiàng)。如第5小題，根據(jù)本段的小標(biāo)題“Decide how long time-outs will last（決定time-out多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間）”。由此可知，本段與time-out的時(shí)間有關(guān)。分析選項(xiàng)可知C項(xiàng)（A time-out needs enough time）與此段意義一致，根據(jù)下文“Your children should have enough time to stop misbehaving and calm down”可知，你的孩子應(yīng)該有足夠的時(shí)間來(lái)停止其不當(dāng)行為和冷靜下來(lái)。由此可推斷出C項(xiàng)（超時(shí)需要足夠的時(shí)間）符合文意，故選C。

（4） 解題的關(guān)鍵是能嫻熟地利用各種銜接手段。尤其要注意代詞，連詞等。如表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系的but，though ,however 等。

最后，用代入法，檢查答案是否合理，將所有選擇答案放回空白處，通讀全文，檢查文章內(nèi)容是否語(yǔ)義連貫合理、緊扣主題，語(yǔ)篇結(jié)構(gòu)是否通順連貫、具有一致性、合乎邏輯，寫(xiě)作思路是否清晰明了，格式以及用語(yǔ)是否恰當(dāng)貼切，從而判斷選擇的答案是否正確。
