Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

Procrastination (拖延) is a phenomenon we are familiar with. When we procrastinate, we waste our free time and put off important tasks we should do till it’s too late. 【1】 Here, I will share some personal steps taken to overcome procrastination with great success.

Break your work down into little parts. Part of the reason why we procrastinate is that we find the work too overwhelming (巨大的)for us. Break it down into little parts, and then focus on one part at a time. If you still procrastinate after doing so, break it down even further. 【2】

Change your environment. Look at your work desk and your room. Do they make you want to work or do they make you sleepy? 【3】

Create a detailed timeline with specific deadlines. Having just one deadline for your work is like an invitation to procrastinate. That’s because we would get the impression that we have time and keep pushing everything back until it’s too late. 【4】 In this way, you know you have to finish each task by a certain date.

【5】 I’m pretty sure if you spend just 10 minutes talking to people like Steve Jobs or Bill Gates, you’ll be more inspired to act than if you spend the 10 minutes doing nothing. The people we are with influence our behavior.

A. Soon, your task will be so simple that you will be thinking you can do it now.

B. Hang out with people who inspire you to take action.

C. Having a companion makes the whole process much more fun.

D. If it’s the latter, you should begin to change your workspace.

E. It’s a bad habit eating us away and stopping us achieving greater success in life.

F. Break down your project, and then create an overall timeline with specific deadlines for each small task.

G. Seek out someone who has already achieved the similar outcome to your goals.

【5】B

【解析】

試題分析：本文敘述了人們在生活中經(jīng)常存在的拖延習(xí)慣，并提出了幾個(gè)解決這個(gè)問題的具體建議。

【1】E 根據(jù)上句we waste our free time and put off important tasks we should do till it’s too late可知拖延會(huì)浪費(fèi)我們的時(shí)間。這是一個(gè)很不好的習(xí)慣，會(huì)阻止我們在生活中取得成功。故E項(xiàng)符合上下文串聯(lián)。

【2】A 根據(jù)本段第一句Break your work down into little parts.作者給我們第一個(gè)建議就是把工作分解成小部分，然后一次解決一個(gè)問題。如果我們發(fā)現(xiàn)自己分解的不夠小，那么就繼續(xù)分成更小的。最后原來一個(gè)巨大的任務(wù)就會(huì)變得非常小。故A正確。

【3】D 根據(jù)本段第一句Change your environment.可知我們要改變工作的環(huán)境。如果我們的環(huán)境不利于我們的工作，那么我們就要改變它。故D正確。

【4】F 根據(jù)本段第一句Create a detailed timeline with specific deadlines.可知本段是關(guān)于每一個(gè)時(shí)間段都要有最后期限以此來提醒我們及時(shí)完成應(yīng)該完成的任務(wù)。F項(xiàng)公式我們要把計(jì)劃分解成小的任務(wù)，然后給每個(gè)小任務(wù)都設(shè)定具體的期限。符合段落的中心思想。故F正確。

【5】B 根據(jù)本段第一句I’m pretty sure if you spend just 10 minutes talking to people like Steve Jobs or Bill Gates,可知如果我們能夠和一些成功人士在一起會(huì)給我們很大的影響。這些人能夠激勵(lì)著我們?nèi)〉酶�大的進(jìn)步。故B項(xiàng)符合上下文串聯(lián)。
