Reading[B]HowtoFindTimetoRead[C]HowtoSetReadingGoals[D]HowtoReadExtensively31答案Dwhatdeepreadingrequirescannotbeguaranteed.解析：因果細(xì)節(jié)題。題干指出：傳統(tǒng)的時(shí)間管理方法不起作用的原因是什么。根據(jù)題干定位到第二段首句指出theusualtime-managementtechniquesdon’tseemsufficient，是題干的同義替換，但要找原因。整段都在分析過程環(huán)節(jié)，最終原因必然在該段末句提到。直接定位到該段末句，指出深入閱讀不僅需要時(shí)間，而且是一種僅僅通過有效無法獲得的一種時(shí)間。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)D，深入閱讀所需的無法得到確保，是原文末句的同義替換。32答案Bmakepassingtimefulfilling解析：題干問的是“emptybottles”暗喻證明了人們在做什么方面有壓力，emptybottles直接可以在文中GaryEberle所說的話中找到：“Thefuturecomesatuslikeemptybottles…”。其所說的話證明的目的必然是為了說明前一句的觀點(diǎn)。因此，該題定位到三段“trytoslot…butnotthemostfulfillingkind”，該句就指出：只會處理目標(biāo)集中的閱讀，這是有用的，但不是最有滿足感的。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)B使流逝的時(shí)間更有滿足感，是原文的同義替換。33答案Dachieveimmersivereading解析：文中人物觀點(diǎn)題，注意區(qū)分文中人物觀點(diǎn)和作者觀點(diǎn)。題干問的是Eberle贊同為閱讀設(shè)定規(guī)定性時(shí)間幫助什么。根據(jù)題干精確定位到第四段第二句：“You’dthinkthismightfueltheefficiencymind-set,butinfact,E…..intosoultime”，意思是你會認(rèn)為這可以提升效率性思維設(shè)定，但實(shí)際上這些行為幫助我們跨入到靈魂閱讀時(shí)間。對應(yīng)選項(xiàng)D，獲得深入閱讀，屬于同義替換。34答案Areadingbecomesyourprimarybusinessoftheday解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。題干指出：總是帶一本書會起作用如果怎么樣。根據(jù)題干定位到末段中間部分“carryabookwithyouatalltimescanactuallywork,too…sothatreadingbecomesthedefaultstatefromwhichyoutemporarilysurfacetotakecareofbusiness.”，意思是這樣的話閱讀就成為默認(rèn)狀態(tài)，偶爾會出來管理工作(注意business并非默認(rèn)狀態(tài)，非主要事情)。對應(yīng)選項(xiàng)A閱讀成為每天的主要任務(wù)，是該句的同義替換。35答案BHowtoFindTimetoRead解析：標(biāo)題題，即全文中心主旨。通過題干，可發(fā)現(xiàn)題干關(guān)鍵詞中time復(fù)現(xiàn)多次，因此可確定time為全文的主題詞。整篇文章都圍繞閱讀時(shí)間來展開，因此正確答案為A如何尋找閱讀時(shí)間。Text4Againstabackdropofdrasticchangesineconomyandpopulationstructure,youngerAmericansaredrawinganew21st-centuryroadmaptosuccess,alatestpollhasfound.Acrossgenerationallines,Americanscontinuetoprizemanyofthesametraditionalmilestonesofasuccessfullife,includinggettingmarried,havingchildren,owningahome,andretiringintheirsixties.Butwhileyoungandoldmostlyagreeonwhatconstitutesthefinishlineofafulfillinglife,theyofferstrikinglydifferentpathsforreachingit.Youngpeoplewhoarestillgettingstartedinlifeweremorelikelythanolderadultstoprioritizepersonalfulfillmentintheirwork,tobelievetheywilladvancetheircareersmostbyregularlychangingjobs,tofavorcommunitieswithmorepublicservicesandafasterpaceoflife,toagreethatcouplesshouldbefinanciallysecurebeforegettingmarriedorhavingchildren,andtomaintainthatchildrenarebestservedbytwoparentsworkingoutsidethehome,thesurveyfound.Fromcareertocommunityandfamily,thesecontrastssuggestthatintheaftermathofthesearingGreatRecession,thosejuststartingoutinlifearedefiningprioritiesandexpectationsthatwillincreasinglyspreadthroughvirtuallyallaspectsofAmericanlife,fromconsumerpreferencestohousingpatternstopolitics.Youngandoldconvergeononekeypoint:Overwhelmingmajoritiesofbothgroupssaidtheybelieveitisharderforyoungpeopletodaytogetstartedinlifethanitwasforearliergenerations.Whileyoungerpeoplearesomewhatmoreoptimisticthantheireldersabouttheprospectsforthosestartingouttoday,bigmajoritiesinbothgroupsbelievethose“justgettingstartedinlife”faceatougheragood-payingjob,startingafamily,managingdebt,andfindingaffordablehousing.PeteSchneiderconsiderstheclimbtoughertoday.Schneider,a27-yaear-oldautotechnicianfromtheChicagosuburbssayshestruggledtofindajobaftergraduatingfromcollege.Evennowthatheisworkingsteadily,hesaid.”Ican’taffordtopaymamonthlymortgagepaymentsonmyown,soIhavetorentroomsouttopeopletomarkthathappen.”Lookingback,heisstruckthathisparentscouldprovideacomfortablelifefortheirchildreneventhoughneitherhadcompletedcollegewhenhewasyoung.“Istillgrewupinanuppermiddle-classhomewithparentswhodidn’thavecollegedegrees,”Schneidersaid.“Idon’tthinkpeoplearecapableofthatanymore.”36.Onecross-generationmarkofasuccessfullifeis_____.[A]tryingoutdifferentlifestyles[B]havingafamilywithchildren[C]workingbeyondretirementage[D]settingupaprofitablebusiness37.ItcanbelearnedfromParagraph3thatyoungpeopletendto____.[A]favoraslowerlifepace[B]holdanoccupationlonger[C]attachimportancetopre-maritalfinance[D]giveprioritytochildcareoutsidethehome38.Theprioritiesandexpectationsdefinedbytheyoungwill____.[A]becomeincreasinglyclear[B]focusonmaterialisticissues[C]dependlargelyonpoliticalpreferences[D]reachalmostallaspectsofAmericanlife39.Bothyoungandoldagreethat____.[A]good-payingjobsarelessavailable[B]theoldmademorelifeachievements[C]housingloanstodayareeasytoobtain[D]gettingestablishedisharderfortheyoung40.WhichofthefollowingistrueaboutSchneider?[A]Hefoundadreamjobaftergraduatingfromcollege.[B]Hisparentsbelieveworkingsteadilyisamustforsuccess.[C]Hisparents’goodlifehaslittletodowithacollegedegree.[D]Hethinkshisjobasatechnicianquitechallenging.36答案Bhavingafamilywithchildren解析：此題是細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞定位到第二段第一句Acrossgenerationallines,…includinggettingmarried,havingchildren…即成功的標(biāo)志包括結(jié)婚生子，故而正確選項(xiàng)是Bhavingafamilywithchildren.37答案Cattachimportancetopre-maritalfinance解析：此題是細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞定位到第三段第一句Youngpeople…toagreethatcouplesshouldbefinanciallysecurebeforegettingmarriedorhavingchildren…即年輕人認(rèn)為夫妻在結(jié)婚前或者生小孩前應(yīng)該在經(jīng)濟(jì)上是穩(wěn)定的，故而Cattachimportancetopre-maritalfinance為正確答案。38答案DreachalmostallaspectsofAmericanlife解析：此題是細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞定位到第四段第一句…thosejuststarting…willincreasinglyspreadthroughvirtuallyallaspects…即這些期待即將滲透到美國生活的各個(gè)方面，故而DreachalmostallaspectsofAmericanlife為正確答案。39答案Dgettingestablishedisharderfortheyoung解析：此題是文中人物觀點(diǎn)題。根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞定位到第五段第一句…itisharderforyoungpeopletodaytogetstartedinlifethanitwasforearliergenerations.即與年長者相比，現(xiàn)如今的年輕人維持生計(jì)更加困難，故而Dgettingestablishedisharderfortheyoung為正確答案。40答案CHisparents’goodlifehaslittletodowithacollegedegree.解析：此題是正誤判斷題。根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞定位到第六段第五句Lookingback…h(huán)isparentscouldprovideacomfortablelifeforthechildreneventhoughneitherhadcompletedcollegewhenhewasyoung.即父母即便沒有上過大學(xué)但仍舊可以為孩子提供舒適的生活，故而Hisparents’goodlifehaslittletodowithacollegedegree.為正確答案。PartBDirections:Readthefollowingtextandanswerthequestionsbychoosingthe
