Question

【題目】閱讀七選五。

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 am, try getting up at 7：00 am. 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.

【解析】

試題分析：本文介紹了節(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】小題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】小題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】小題3:考查的是上下文的語(yǔ)境理解能力。此空出剛好需要一個(gè)對(duì)前面短意的小結(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】小題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】小題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。
