【題目】任務(wù)型閱讀
Thomas Edison was one of the most successful inventors the world has ever seen.
But people found that although Edison was good at inventing new things, he was a poor fisherman. He used to spend an hour almost every day sitting at the side of a river and fish. He always fished all alone by himself.
People asked Edison, “Why are you so crazy about fishing when you are so bad at it?” His answer was, “I really never caught ant fish because I have never used any bait (誘餌).” Another question followed, “Why would you fish without bait?” Edison answered, “Because when you fish without bait, people don't disturb you and neither do the fish”
Sometimes the world's best inventor was the world's worst fisherman. In fact, because Edison was the world's worst fisherman, he could become the world's greatest inventor.
Are you setting aside some time for yourself to think? Here are some ideas for you:
Slowing down and taking long showers is a good idea.

Long walks are good too.
Afternoon naps have been proved to improve creativity.
A. But he never caught any fish.
B. It provides me my best time to think.
C. So is listening to some soft classical music.
D. In all, Edison has thousands of inventions.
E. He was asked the reason behind him being a fisherman.
F. To make your brain work better, you need to take a rest.
G. Set aside 15-20 minutes per day so that you can do nothing.

【答案】D；A；B；F；C
【解析】本文通過愛迪生在釣魚時給自己思考時間的例子，告訴我們要給自己留出時間去思考。
(1)考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。上句講愛迪生是世界上最成功的發(fā)明家，D項：愛迪生一共有幾千項發(fā)明，是對上句的補(bǔ)充說明，所以答案是D.
(2)考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。本段講愛迪生其實是一個貧窮的漁民，整天獨(dú)自在河邊釣魚。A項：但是他從來釣不到魚，與上句連接表示結(jié)果，與下文I really never caught any fish意思一致，所以答案是A.
(3)考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。上文講愛迪生釣魚從不放誘餌，從來釣不到魚。這樣其他人和魚都不會打擾我，給我最好的時間思考。B項表達(dá)了此意，所以答案是B.
(4)考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。上句：你給自己留出一些時間思考嗎？下文提了幾點(diǎn)建議，F(xiàn)項：為了讓你的大腦運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)得更好，你需要休息一下。承上啟下，所以答案是F.
(5)考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。與其它休息措施并列，C項：聽一些柔和的古典音樂，也是幫助休息后思考的措施之一，所以答案是C.
