Question

【題目】六、任務(wù)型閱讀，每空一詞

The way we spend our time can be divided into three groups, or jars (罐子).These would be the necessary tasks jar, the voluntary tasks jar and the happiness jar.

Every day，we spend time filling the necessary tasks jar. We fill this jar with useful things，like making money，doing housework，buying food and paying bills. We then fill another jar with voluntary tasks like taking children to activities and cooking family meals. Those jars are very important，but we may not enjoy them. If we don't fill them each day, our family won't run properly.

However, we often forget to fill the third jar---the happiness jar. This is the jar that we fill with activities that make us happy. Is your happiness jar sometimes empty at the end of the day? We all have days like that. Between doing all the necessary, and voluntary tasks, time flies by on some days, and before we know it, it is time for bed.

That is why each day we try to fill our happiness jar. Most days, I fill mine by going to the ballroom dance class. Playing music is another way that I fill my happiness jar. This week，I was happy to take part in an orchestra (管弦樂(lè)隊(duì)) practice at my church (教堂). At the end of the evening, my happiness jar was full.

Consider how your time is spent. Try to find ways to achieve a balance. At the end of the day, hopefully we've done all we can to make sure that our happiness jar is filled.

【解析】

這篇短文主要講述了我們花費(fèi)時(shí)間的方式分成三個(gè)罐子：必要的任務(wù)罐子；自愿的任務(wù)罐子；幸福地任務(wù)罐子。

【1】根據(jù)文中The way we spend our time can be divided into three groups, or jars (罐子).These would be the necessary tasks jar, the voluntary tasks jar and the happiness jar.可知，我們度過(guò)時(shí)間的三組方式。故填way。

【2】根據(jù)文中Every day，we spend time filling the necessary tasks jar. We fill this jar with useful things可知，必要的任務(wù)罐子充滿有用的事情。be full of…表示充滿……；裝滿……；根據(jù)題意，故填full。

【3】根據(jù)文中We fill this jar with useful things，like making money，doing housework，buying food and paying bills.可知，我們?cè)谶@個(gè)罐子里裝滿了有用的東西，比如賺錢、做家務(wù)、買食物和付帳單。根據(jù)題意，故填paying。

【4】根據(jù)文中We then fill another jar with voluntary tasks like taking children to activities and cooking family meals.可知，這里是說(shuō)自愿的任務(wù)罐子。根據(jù)題意，故填voluntary。

【5】根據(jù)文中We then fill another jar with voluntary tasks like taking children to activities and cooking family meals.可知，然后我們用自愿的任務(wù)填滿另一個(gè)罐子，比如帶孩子去活動(dòng)。介詞like后加動(dòng)名詞。根據(jù)題意，故填taking。

【6】根據(jù)文中We then fill another jar with voluntary tasks like taking children to activities and cooking family meals.可知，故填family

【7】根據(jù)文中However, we often forget to fill the third jar---the happiness jar. This is the jar that we fill

with activities that make us happy可知，這是我們充滿活力的罐子，它給我們帶來(lái)快樂(lè)。happiness的意思是“幸福，快樂(lè)”。故填happiness

【8】根據(jù)文中Between doing all the necessary, and voluntary tasks, time flies by on some days, and before we know it, it is time for bed.可知，這里是說(shuō)是睡覺(jué)的時(shí)間了。 It’s time to do sth.表示是做某事的時(shí)間了；短語(yǔ)go to bed表示去睡覺(jué)。根據(jù)題意，故填go。

【9】根據(jù)文中Try to find ways to achieve a balance.可知，試著找到達(dá)到平衡的方法。Achieve的意思是“實(shí)現(xiàn)”，根據(jù)題意，故填achieve。

【10】根據(jù)文中hopefully we've done all we can to make sure that our happiness jar is filled.可知，希望我們能確保幸福罐被填滿。hopeful的意思是“有希望的”，根據(jù)句意，故填hopeful。

明確任務(wù)后，要迅速閱讀全文來(lái)了解文章主要內(nèi)容，以及文章的感情基調(diào)、作者的意圖等。因?yàn)榇蠹抑�道在材料后的�?wèn)題設(shè)置中，經(jīng)常有對(duì)文章大意的考查。對(duì)于概括大意的題目，需要全篇考慮，這類題目有時(shí)可以從文中直接找到答案，但有時(shí)需要用自己的話來(lái)概括。這類題難度較大，對(duì)文章還得再讀一讀，才能總結(jié)出來(lái)。

除此之外，還經(jīng)常考查給文章擬標(biāo)題。這類題目可以通過(guò)尋找主題句和高頻詞來(lái)完成。主題句往往是首句或尾句，但如果沒(méi)有主題句，就可以從短文中去提煉、概括。確定標(biāo)題同學(xué)們必須遵循兩個(gè)原則，第一個(gè)是標(biāo)題要有概括性，就是說(shuō)標(biāo)題應(yīng)在最大程度上覆蓋全文，體現(xiàn)文章的中心大意；第二個(gè)是標(biāo)題要醒目，即標(biāo)題要吸引讀者的注意力。
