【題目】We all wish we had just a bit more time. Just think what you could do with an extra hour or two each day: you could finally stick to an exercise routine, or springclean the house, or write your novel, or learn the guitar and so on.

【1】 But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter.

◆ Get Out of Bed Earlier

If you normally get up at 7：30 a．m., try getting up at 7：00 a．m. That halfhour might not sound like much, but it could be time that you use to exercise, to read that book you've been meaning to finish. 【2】

◆ Do the Important Tasks First

Once you get to work, get the important ones done first (not the easy ones, or even the urgent ones). You can afford to spend at least an hour working on big, important tasks rather than on all those little urgent ones.

【3】 The urgent tasks will still get done, and you won't miss the important ones.

◆ Reduce Interruptions

If colleagues have a habit of hanging around your desk to chat, or if the phone is constantly ringing, you might find that it takes you half the day to finish a simple task like writing a letter. Constant interruptions don't just eat up time, they also break your concentration.

When you've got a big task to focus on, let your calls go to voicemail. 【4】 Wearing headphones makes it less likely that people will try to strike up a conversation.

◆ 【5】

A few minutes' chatting, browsing the web, and so on, can easily turn into hours of wasted time over the course of a day.

When you're working, work. If your concentration is slipping, take a proper break: go and get a glass of water, or stretch your legs a bit. And if you're facing a difficult task, try breaking it into small steps or stages so that it's easier to deal with.

A．Stay Focused on Your Work.

B．Take Breaks When Necessary.

C．If you have an office door, close it.

D．If you work like this, you'll usually save time.

E．Would you want me to make your day longer?

F．I can't magically make all your days 25 hours long.

G．Or simply to get your day off to a calm and organized start.

【答案】

【1】F

【2】G

【3】D

【4】C

【5】A

【解析】

本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章介紹了節(jié)省時(shí)間的方式方法。主要是從早起、先完成最重要的任務(wù)、少中斷以及必要的休息方面做起，在日常生活中節(jié)省出更多的時(shí)間。

【1】考查的是上下文的語(yǔ)境理解能力。從空后面But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter句意上可以看出這兒與前一句的轉(zhuǎn)折之意，故選F。

【2】考查的是上下文的語(yǔ)境理解能力。從空前面看to exercise, to read that book you've been meaning to finish，正好與這兒的G項(xiàng)相連接，所以G項(xiàng)正確。

【3】考查的是上下文的語(yǔ)境理解能力。此空前剛好需要一個(gè)對(duì)前面短文意的小結(jié)，D項(xiàng)表示如果這樣做下去的話，會(huì)達(dá)到節(jié)省時(shí)間的效果。所以D項(xiàng)正確。

【4】考查的是上下文的語(yǔ)境理解能力。從空前面看是進(jìn)行事例的說(shuō)明，選項(xiàng)中只有C項(xiàng)符合，所以C項(xiàng)正確。

【5】考查的是上下文的語(yǔ)境理解能力及主題句的概括能力。從空前面看與文章歸納的大的要點(diǎn)相符合，也與下文中的concentration想符合。所以A項(xiàng)正確。

七選五題型要求考生從整體上把握文章的邏輯結(jié)構(gòu)和內(nèi)容上的聯(lián)系，理解句子之間、段落之間的關(guān)系，對(duì)諸如連貫性、一致性等語(yǔ)段特征有較強(qiáng)的意識(shí)和熟練的把握。所以懂得整篇文章的基本結(jié)構(gòu)或段落的語(yǔ)篇結(jié)構(gòu)對(duì)解題很有用。例如小題5要求選擇本段的小標(biāo)題，結(jié)合其它三個(gè)小標(biāo)題可知，小標(biāo)題都是短小精悍的祈使句，符合的選擇項(xiàng)只有A、B，再結(jié)合其段落的內(nèi)容就不難選出正確的答案。

【題目】 Audrey Randolph, who used to be a librarian, is a car mechanic in London. But she didn’t find it easy to become a car mechanic. She had to attend a Centre, where people can learn a new job for 20 weeks. We asked her why she decided to work with cars. “My first reason was independence,” she said. “I also wanted to learn about how things work, using my hands. Besides, I’ve come to the conclusion that many people prefer to have a woman repair their cars.”

When it comes to her experiences in the Center, she tells us about it, “I was the only woman among four hundred men. And some of them were rude to me, just because of my sex.” However, Audrey said she made the right decision.

One hundred years ago women were second-class citizens in Britain. Men controlled everything. Not only that, they really believed that women were “the weaker sex”. Women, they say, depend too little on cool reasoning and too much on intuition (直覺(jué)) to arrive at decisions, and sometimes are not even able to think clearly. But in the past century a lot has changed. Two women have become Prime Minister, and women can now compete as equals in every kind of job and profession. They also have more control over when to have a family and how many children they want. Nowadays both men and women go out to work. Consequently the traditional roles played by them in the family have changed greatly. Those times when the man was the major breadwinner and the woman stayed at home and looked after the house and the children are over. Most couples share the housework and in some homes it is now the man who stays at home with the kids and the woman who goes out to work.

【1】Why did Audrey go to the Centre?

A.To get trained in her job skills.

B.To prove she is more competent.

C.To show she isn’t challenging men.

D.To fight against sex discrimination.

【2】What do Audrey’s training experiences reflect?

A.Companies tend to employ more women.

B.Women undertake more social responsibilities.

C.Women can change jobs more easily than men.

D.Some men still look down upon women today.

【3】What was the argument men raised against women?

A.Women were serious about everything.

B.Women’s thoughts were often unclear.

C.Women’s decisions were unreliable.

D.Women were weak physically.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.Men Are Carrying on a Sex-fight.

B.Women Are More Independent Now.

C.A Woman Made a Right Decision.

D.Men and Women Should Be Equal.
