关于新题型，2006年考纲上公布的新题型有三种，但这三种题型多少都涉及文章的衔接(cohesion)与连贯(coherence)，其中7选5这种题型最基础，也最具代表性，因此下面介绍的技巧以7选5为例。这种题的做题技巧主要包括两个方面：做题步骤与判断方法。
一） 做题步骤
1． 阅读各个空的前后句，标记关键词
在阅读文章的开始部分、明确文章的基本话题以后，要阅读五个空各自的前后句，并将前后句中的解题线索，即关键词标记下来。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。
2． 阅读各个选项，尤其是选项的首句，标记关键词
3． 比较上述两类关键词，确定答案
4． 将确定的答案代入原文，看读起来是否通顺。
二） 判断方法
在标记了原文与选项的关键词以后，可以按照下列原则判断原文的空与选项是否匹配：
1． 词汇衔接
正确选项中的关键词一般重复前一句的关键词，也与下一句的关键词相呼应。
2． 逻辑衔接
正确选项与原文空之前的句子在逻辑上是连贯的。例如，前一句使用although，那么正确选项的内容应该与之相反。
3． 代词衔接
正确选项中代词之后的关键词一定在原文的前一句谈论过。例如，如果选项中说this reward，而且这一选项是正确答案，那么原文中的空之前的句中一定出现过reward这个词或它的同义词。

During several years of gambling in that casino, Williams a state auditor earning $35,000 a year, last approximately $175,000. He had never gambled before the casino sent him a coupon for $20 worth of gambling.
He visited the casino, lost the $20 and left .On his second visit he lost $800. The casino issued to him, as a good customer, a “Fun Card”, which when used in the casino earns points for meals and drinks, and enables the casino to track the user’s gambling activities. For Williams, these activities become what he calls “electronic heroin”.

He sometimes played two slot machines at a time, all night, until the boat locked at 5 a.m, then went back aboard when the casino opened at 9 a.m .Now he is suing the casino, charging that it should have refused his patronage because it knew he was addicted. It did know he had a problem.
In March 
1998, a friend of Williams’s got him involuntarily confined to a treatment center for addictions, and wrote to inform the casino of Williams’s gambling problem. The casino included a photo of Williams among those of banned gamblers, and wrote to him a “cease admissions” letter. Noting the “medical/psychological” nature of problem gambling behaviors, the letter said that before being readmitted to the casino he would have to present medical/psychological information demonstrating that patronizing the casino would pose no threat to his safety or well-being.
(42) _____________________________.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the casino has 20 signs warning, “Enjoy the fun… and always bet with your head, not over it.” Every entrance ticket lists a toll-free number for counseling from the Indiana Department of Mental Health.
Nevertheless, Williams’s suit charges that the casino, knowing he was “helplessly addicted to gambling,” intentionally worked to “lure” him to “engage in conduct against his will.” Well.

(B) It is unclear what luring was required, given his compulsive behavior. And in what sense was his will operative?

(E) David Williams suit should trouble this gambling nation. But don’t bet on it.
(F) It is worrisome that society is medicalizing more and more behavioral problems, often defining as addiction what earlier, sterner generations explained as weakness of will.
(G) The anonymous, lonely, undistracted nature of online gambling is especially conductive to compulsive behavior. But even if the government knew how to more against Internet gambling, what would be its grounds for doing so?
