First through seventh or one through seven are both acceptable. It seems we settled on "two thousand" to say 2000 (through 2009), after 2010, we say "twenty-ten", etc.

The correct reading would depend on the context in which this phrase is being used. If it is a newspaper headline or a formal document, options 1 and 3 would be the most fitting. However, if it is a more casual setting, options 2, 4, 5, or 6 could be acceptable.
To determine the correct reading, consider the following:
- How is the phrase being used? If it is in a formal context, it is usually preferable to write out the numbers (e.g., "twenty") rather than using numerals ("20OO").
- Can you see any other clues or context from the surrounding text that may help determine the intended pronunciation?
Remember that context is key, and it's always best to use your judgment based on the situation in which the phrase is being used.
