instead 一词在高考题中，特别是在七选五中，经常出现，且常为设题点。但不少考生却掌握不好，导致失分。本文就其用法作一个小结。
首先理解instead 的意思“相反地，反而”，它一般用在前一句为肯定句，后一句为否定句，或者前一句为否定句，后一句为肯定句中。若前后不是句子，也依然往往是前面是否定的后面就是肯定的，其前面是肯定的后面就是否定的。即，前后肯否常相对。
一、在七选五中的考查
（2017年全国Ⅰ卷）I was， nevertheless， talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness. 38 Instead， we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life.
A. This time there was no tent.
B. Things are going to be improved.
C. The trip they took me on was a rough one.
解析：因Instead后面的句子为肯定句，前句应为否定句，浏览各选项，只有选项A符合。
（2015年全国Ⅰ卷）You didn’t lose “everything”. Once trust is lost， what is left？ Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle， look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life. 40 Instead， it’s a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness.
D. Remember that you can expect the best in return.
F. This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships.
G. Seeing the positive side of things doesn’t mean you’re ignoring what happened.
解析：因Instead后面的句子為肯定句，正确选项应为否定句。浏览DFG三个选项，只有选项G符合。
（2009年全国新课标卷）Never allow your children to study in front of the television， as that will encourage passive activity.
3
C. Finally， spend time with your kids when they’re studying.
D. Keep the atmosphere light and offer lots of encouragement， too.
E. Instead， use TV as a treat or a reward when the homework is completed.
解析：选项E中的TV与上句中的television是原词复现，认真理解上句与选项，意思非常连贯。再次印证：选项E以Instead开头，此句为肯定句，空前句为否定句（Never），故选E肯定无疑。
二、在完形填空中的考查
（2017年全国Ⅰ卷）I soon realized that the silence was not unpleasant. 58 ， if there had been any talking， it would have caused us to learn less.
58. A. Lastly B. Thus C.Instead D. However
解析：前一句含否定词not，后句没有，可能填Instead；或这样理解：前句是双重否定（not unpleasant）构成的肯定句，后者是含有表示否定意义的less（更少）的句子，可知应填Instead。
（2007年全国课标卷）Caring about her safety， the father decided to pilot the plane himself. However， the birds did not recognize or follow him， and 51 slept in the grass.
51. A. so B. instead C. hardly D. too
解析：前面是否定的，后面是肯定的，很可能填instead，再根据句意确认，选项B正确。
