【题目】New Year’s Plans for First Graders

The first year in high school can be very difficult. 【1】. An unsuccessful first year can hurt a student’s GPA(平均成绩点数)and more importantly, destroy his or her confidence. At the halfway point here, let’s suggest a few New Year’s Plans.

●Become a part of your school

Join a club, a sport or other activity that will give you a chance to develop your leadership, creativity and organizational skills. All those are important skills to have in college and in life. 【2】 .

●Work on your grades

First year grades are one-fourth of your high school GPA, but one-third of the GPA that will be handed to colleges when you apply. If you’ve had a difficult first three months, now is the time to get help. 【3】. It may be reading, math, or a certain other class. Many classes build on what was learned before, so determine what you have difficulty with and master it. If necessary, turn to your teacher.

●【4】

In high school, students must work more by themselves and manage their time well. If time management hasn’t been your strength, then make a system that will work for you. Many students need a homework notebook or electronic scheduling tool. 【5】 The attached article has great suggestions for managing time—a skill that if learned in high school, will be used for life.

A. Improve your time management skills.

B. Manage your after-class activities properly

C. You’d better first find out what your problem is

关于七选五的做题步骤：

1、通读全文，对文章进行快速浏览，寻找主题句，抓住文章结构及文章的写作内容。在阅读过程中，要注意文章的开始与结束段落，尤其是文章的首段及末段末句，因为“开门见山”与“结尾总结”的写作方式为常见的写作方式，首段的末句一般是是全文的主题所在，说明本文将探讨哪些内容，并简要指出文章的写作思路，有时甚至会以提纲的形式进行呈现。首段的末句对于快速掌握文章的主题有重要意义。

2、详读段落，在短时间内，找出每段写作内容的关键词。明确各段的主题句或主旨大意。文章正文部分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，对文章主体进行的不同方面的描述。找出各个小段落中的关键词，明确其描述内容，为整体试题的解决做好铺垫。阅读各个空的前后句，标记关键词，关键词包括句中的核心名词或名词词组（如带有形容词的名词词组）、专有名词、时间数字、代词、连词等。重点阅读各个问题附近的句子，圈定线索词，然后从选项中寻找相关的特征词，以确定答案。做题时可以采用代入排除法。如果一题做不出或拿不准，可先放过，继续往下读，先做容易的能做出的题，直到读完整篇文章。至此，文章的要点和主旨

3、定位选项，明确各备选选项的含义，抓住其关键词语，根据文章整体结构与具体内容，将选项填入文中，填写时尤为注意各选项中出现的句子衔接手段及句中的衔接标志词。在定位选项时，要特别注意空格上下段的写作内容，以及空格上段尾句和下段首句的结构和意义。将所选项放入空白处，看看是否与上下文构成语义及逻辑上的直接关系，是否符合该处语境。能否承接前后的写作线索。使文章无论内容还是衔接上都能做到通顺。

4、通读复检，将所选答案代入文中，再次通读全文，重点考查逻辑关系和关联结构。

在完成选项定位后，应通读全文，检查文章内容是否完整，语义是否连贯合理、各段落内容是否紧扣主题，语篇结构是否通顺连贯、具有一致性、合乎逻辑，写作思路是否清晰明了，格式以及用语是否恰当贴切，从而判断选择的答案是否正确。同时，我们还应注意对相近选项的对比分析，个别干扰项由于与某个正确选项的内容相近具有很强的干扰性，这时就需要我们认真分析，排除干扰，从而得出正确选项。

5、确定排除，研究多余选项，确定排除理由，最终确定答案。
