Tips for Cooking on a Tight Schedule
From my experience, there are three main reasons why people don't cook more often: ability, money, and time. __1__ Money is a topic I'll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule：
1．Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I'm already hungry and there's nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials already? __2__
2．Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread? __3__ It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.
3．__4__ This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.
Hopefully that gives you a good start. __5__ And don't let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!
A．Try new things.
B．Ability is easily improved.
C．Make three or four instead.
D．Understand your food better.
E．Cooking is a burden for many people.
F．Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.
G．A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.
文章大意：本文是一篇说明文，介绍了如何在有限的时间里做一顿好饭。
答案：
1．B根据上下文语境，上文提到不做饭的原因有三个，能力、金钱与时间，并分别对金钱与时间作了讲述，故空处应简单叙述能力，故选B项。
2．G 本段主题句think ahead，相关句子只有G项，“花一点时间提前计划可以节省后面的很多工作”。
3．C 根据上下文语境。上文“你在制作一条面包吗”下文“多做一点花差不多同样的时间”，可知空处应该填C项，“制作三、四条吧。”
4．A 空处是本段主题句。由本段内容可知介绍多尝试新的菜谱和新的想法，这样能力会越来越高。故选A项。
5．F 根据上下文语境。由下文不要让忙碌打消你在饮食生活方面改变一下的乐趣。所以空处应该是F项，让饮食生活成为一种乐趣而不是负担。

(2014·辽宁) Eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life. Every waking moment, the eyes are working to see the world around us. Over forty percent of Americans worry about losing eyesight, but it's easy to include steps into our daily life to ensure healthy eyes. Here are five suggestions for a lifetime of healthy eyesight：
·Schedule yearly exams. __1__ Experts advise parents to bring babies 6 to 12 months of age to the doctor for a careful check. The good news is that millions of children now can have yearly eye exams and following treatment, including eyeglasses.
·Protect against UV rays (紫外线). Long-term stay in the sun creates risk to your eyes. No matter what the season is, it's extremely important to wear sunglasses. __2__
·Give your eyes a break. Two-thirds of Americans spend up to seven hours a day using computers or other digital products. __3__ Experts recommend that people practice the 20/20/20 rule: every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet away.
·__4__ As part of a healthy diet, eat more fruits and vegetables each day. Vitamins (维生素) C and E help protect eyesight and promote eye health.
·Practice safe wear and care of contact lenses (隐形眼镜). Many Americans use contact lenses to improve their eyesight. While some follow the medical guidance for wearing contact lenses, many are breaking the rules and putting their eyesight at risk. __5__ Otherwise, you may have problems such as red eyes, pain in the eyes, or a more serious condition.
A．Eat your greens.
B．Eye care should begin early in life.

文章大意：本文介绍了保持好的视力的五个建议。
答案：
1．B从下一句话Experts advise parents to bring babies 6 to 12 months of age to the doctor for a careful check可知答案。
2．C上一句话意为：无论是什么季节，戴太阳镜是非常重要的。可知，空格处应该意为：太阳镜会保护你的视力。
3．G根据文中的Give your eyes a break可知，本段说的是用眼要注意休息，故本题选G项。
4．A本段说的是饮食对于保护眼睛的重要性，故此处填A项。
5．F本段说的是戴隐形眼镜存在的问题。所以空格处的下一句应该为：否则你会眼疼或者更严重的情况，可知此处意为：戴隐形眼镜要听医嘱。

Evaluating Sources (来源) of Health Information
Making good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation. A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of health information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to find relevant information, how to separate fact from opinion, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources. __1__
Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determine whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study. __2__
Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behaviour “contributes to” or is “associated with” an outcome; this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result. __3__ Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it.
Use your common sense. If a report seems too good to be true, probably it is. Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements.__4__ Evaluate “scientific”statements carefully, and be aware of quackery(江湖骗术)．
__5__ Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration, but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us.
Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about health problems will serve you well throughout your life.
A．Make choices that are right for you.
B．The goal of an ad is to sell you something.
C．Be sure to work through the critical questions.
D．And examine the findings of the original research.
E．Distinguish between research reports and public health advice.
F．Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author's point of view.
G．The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources.
文章大意：有关个人健康信息的来源由许多，应该如何对这些信息进行正确评价，得到真正对自己合理有用的信息，本文给出了几个有用的途径。
答案：
1. G前面连续有几个how to...提出的问题，下面四段都是几个建议，所以此处应该用一个句子过渡，说明下面将要给出几个建议。
2．D文章第二段说的是要“查看原始材料”，所以D项当中的original是关键词，应该“考虑一下研究成果的类型，并应检查原始研究的调查报告”。
3．F文章第三段的建议是要当心语言的误导。结合本文，这里的语言误导是指因为某种语言的描述导致对于结果的错误的理解。“某个过程并不意味着一定会导致某个结果(this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result)”，信息也有可能因为作者观点的原因被错误的解读，故选F项。
4．B由空格前面的句子“Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements.”可知此处应选B项，说明为什么要当心包含广告的信息。
5．A“朋友和家庭成员可以是看法和激励的巨大(信息)来源，但我们每个人都应该找到适合我们自己的健康的生活方式”，所以，本段的主题是“作出对自己正确的选择”。

And clearly we don't have any difficulty in gaining the new information, for our understanding was equal to them before we started. Otherwise, we would have felt the shock of puzzlement.
The second sense is the one in which we read something that at first we do not completely understand. Here the thing to be read is at the first sight better or higher than the reader. The writer is communicating something that can increase the reader's understanding. __3__ Otherwise one
person could never learn from another. Here “learning”means understanding more, not remembering more information.
What are the conditions in this kind of reading? First, there is inequality in understanding. __4__ Besides, his book must convey something he possesses and his potential readers lack. Second, the reader must be able to overcome this inequality in some degree. And he should always try to reach the same level of understanding with the writer.

(2014·豫南五市二模) Have you ever noticed that the more you have the more you want? Let's face it. Thinking our life is good enough doesn't come naturally to many people. When we have high expectations of everything in life, we will run into disappointment. Only when we are aware that needs are different from desires can we live with satisfaction. __1__
__2__ Most people want things to be better than they are, or when things are going well, we forget to appreciate what we have. Learn to reflect on how much better things are than they could be. Write down 5 things you are grateful for right now.

Many people regret something they can no longer change, which ends up holding them back from moving forward in a more positive manner. __3__ So work to stay present and be mindful of the current moment to find more joy and fulfillment.
When we use other people as the measuring stick for our personal success and quality of life, we are likely to be less satisfied. Social comparisons can provide useful information when we try to learn from others, but they also hold our perspective in a discontented position. __4__ When you focus on your big ambitions and future goals, you might neglect the daily pleasures that surround you. __5__ Stay present and focus on the task you're undertaking at the moment.

(2014·河北省“五个一名校联盟”质监一) 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．Seek out someone who has already achieved the similar outcome to your goals.
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．Soon, your task will be so simple that you will be thinking you can do it now.
文章大意：怎样改掉拖延的毛病，本文给出了很好的建议。
答案：
1．E拖延是我们非常熟悉的现象。它的危害很多。E项是其中之一。
2．G把任务分解就会使大任务变得简单。所以G项符合语境。
3．D前面有两个问题，所以D项的“latter”与之照应。
4．F该段讲的是时间，且该段开始的“Create a detailed timeline with specific deadlines.”与F项照应。所以F项符合语境。
5．B空后的“people like Steve Jobs or Bill Gates”与B项“who inspire you to take action.”照应；空后的“you'll be more inspired to act”与B项“inspire you to take action.”照应。

(2014·河南省长葛市三模) Although different universities in the US have different admissions policies, most determine admission based on several standards, including a student's high school course of study, high school Grade Point Average (GPA), participation in activities, SAT or ACT exam scores, a written essay, and possibly a personal interview.
The university admissions office considers whether a student has taken courses in high school that have prepared him or her for more difficult coursework. A student's high school GPA is also considered. __1__ Each letter grade is assigned a number of points: A＝4 points, B＝3, C＝2, D＝1 and F＝0 point. A GPA is calculated by adding all of the points earned for each course grade and dividing the total points by the total number of courses taken. __2__
Universities prefer to see applications from high school students who have engaged in activities in their spare time, such as clubs, athletic teams and student government. __3__ Most
students in the US take the SAT Reasoning Test or the ACT during their final year of high school. Each university sets a minimum SAT or ACT score that a student must achieve in order to be admitted. These are standardized quantitative examinations. The SAT tests critical reading, math and writing skills. __4__
Students are often required to write an essay as part of the application process. __5__ The applicants may also be required to have a personal interview with a representative from the admissions office.
A．A student who fails a required course must repeat the course.
B．A GPA is a figure representing a student's accumulated grades.
C．Each admissions office determines the length and content of the essay.
D．For example, a GPA of 3.0 is a “B” average for all of the courses taken.
E．A student graduates after he or she has successfully passed all the required courses.
F．The ACT tests English, math, reading, science reasoning and optional writing.
G．Voluntary participation in these activities shows students have learned valuable life lessons.
文章大意：虽然美国大学的招生政策不同，但是大多数都要求高中学业、GPA、社会活动、SAT或ACT考试分数、书面论文或者个人面试。
1．B前面提到了GPA，所以应该选择B项或者D项；D项与数字相连应该是第二空的内容。所以选B项。
2．D见上题解析。
3．G前面讲到高中生在业余时间从事的活动。所以G项“these activities”与之照应。
4．F前面讲的是SA T以及ACT，所以F项符合语境。
5．C前面的“essay”与C项照应。

(2014·大庆市二模)
Ways to save time
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 spring-clean the house, or write your novel, or learn the guitar, or get a new qualification. __1__ But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter.
·__2__
If you normally get up at 7：30 am try getting up at 7：00 am. That half-hour 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, or simply to get your day off to a calm and organized start.
·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 start a conversation.
·Stay focused on your work.
A few minutes chatting, browsing the web, and so on, can easily turn into hours of wasted time over the course of a day.__5__ If your concentration is slipping, take a proper break. 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．When you're working, work.
B．Take breaks when necessary.
C．If you have an office door, close it.
D．Get out of bed earlier.
E．If you work like this, you'll usually save time.
F．Would you want me to make your day longer?
G．I can't magically make all your days 25 hours long.
文章大意：本文介绍了节省时间的方法。
答案：
1．G由后文“但是我能帮你找到更多的时间”可知，此空应该是G项“虽然我不能魔幻地让你一天有25小时”符合语境。
2．D该题是本段的主题句，所以早起床符合语境。
3．E先做重要的事会节省你的时间。
4．C该空所在段讲的是避免被打扰的方式，所以C项“关上办公室的门”符合语境。
5．A与该段主题句“Stay focused on your work”照应的是A项。

(2014·长春市第三次调测) Trust has been considered as the basis of any relationship, including friendship. No relationship can last long with a lack of trust. Not many of your friends will have real faith in you as you would like to believe.__1__ Sometimes, it takes years, even a complete lifetime, to trust someone. However, how do we know if our friends have faith in us?
__2__ With whom will you share things that you don't want everyone to know? It would be
with a close friend, whom you trust as much as you trust yourself. While a few of your friends may be fiercely protective of their privacy and may not tell their secrets to anyone, those who do, surely find you trustworthy and reliable.
Whom do you look up to for advice when you need it the most? It has to be either your parents or your friends. __3__ This is a shining example of trust. You only seek advice from people you hold in high regard and find dependable. The friends who trust you will never forget to include you in the important decisions of their life.
Arguments and heated discussions are a part of every relationship, and this is also true for friendship. __4__ While some people find it difficult to forgive and forget, your friends will never have problems moving on. It is because they trust you and believe that you will never cause any pain to them on purpose.
There are times in life when you find yourself a lonely soldier. __5__ Your friends will never let you down and will strongly stand for you when you need encouragement. You can determine that they trust you and believe in your beliefs, if they side with you when you need them the most.
A．People can be extraordinarily jealous sometimes.
B．You know they will never pass on a wrong suggestion.
C．In fact, winning trust is, by far, the most challenging aspect of relationships.
D．Two people cannot have identical reactions to a situation and different opinions do exist.
E．No matter how close you are to your friends, you cannot take that comfort level for granted.
F．If your friends share their secrets, there's a good possibility that they have much faith in you.
G．However, people who are fortunate to have been blessed with true friends are never alone in any battle.
文章大意：本文是一篇说明文，告诉读者信任是联系的纽带和基础，以及在生活中如何才能知道我们的朋友是否信任我们。
1．C考查考生对上下文顺承关系的理解能力。由第一段最后两句“Not many of your friends will have real faith in you as you would like to believe. __1__ Sometimes, it takes years, even a complete lifetime, to trust someone.”可知。答案中的信息与画线部分信息吻合。
2．F考查考生对段落大意的概括能力。本句是主题句，概括下文。“With whom will you share things that you don't want everyone to know? It would be with a close friend, whom you trust as m uch as you trust yourself.”
3．B考查考生对上下文因果关系的理解能力。上文说你想征求他人意见时最想找的是你的父母或朋友，下文答案接着给出找他们的原因是你知道他们不会害你，故选B。
4．D考查考生对上下文顺承关系的理解能力。根据本段第一句“Arguments and heated
discussions are a part of every relationship, and this is also true for friendship”可知。答案中的信息与画线部分信息吻合。
5．G考查考生对上下文转折关系的理解能力。本答案的上文说人生中有时候你会感到孤独，下文则说真正的朋友绝不会让你失望或沮丧，故为转折关系，并且答案句的开头又有提示词However，因此选G。

高考英语阅读专题练习七选五 Muzak The next time you go into a bank, a store, or a supermarket, stop and listen. What do you hear? 71 It's similar to the music you listen to, but it's not exactly the same. That's because this music was especially designed to relax you, or to give you extra energy. Sometimes you don't even realize the music is playing, but you react to the music anyway. Quiet background music used to be called "elevator (电梯) music" because we often heard it in elevators. But lately we hear it in more and more places, and it has a new name "Muzak". About one-third of the people in America listen to "Muzak" everyday. The music plays for 15 minutes at a time, with short pauses in between. It is always more lively between ten and eleven in the morning, and between three and four in the afternoon, when people are more tired. 72 If you listen to Muzak carefully, you will probably recognize the names of many of the songs. Some musicians or songwriters don't want their songs to be used as Muzak, but others are happy when their songs are chosen. Why? 73 Music is often played in public places because it is designed to make people feel less lonely when they are in an airport or a hotel. It has been proven that Muzak doeswhat it is designed to do. Tired office workers suddenly have more energy when they hear the pleasant sound of Muzak in the background. 74 Supermarket shoppers buy 38 percent more groceries. 75 . They say it's boring to hear the same songs all the time. But other people enjoy hearing Muzak in public places. They say it helps them relax and feel calm.

To a certain degree, it’s a matter of logic(逻辑)—of being able to spot weaknesses in other people’s argument and to avoid them in your own, it also includes related skills such as distinguishing fact from opinion and assessing the soundness of evidence. In the broad sense, critical thinking is focused, organized thinking—the ability to see clearly their relationships among ideas. 71 The greatest thinkers, scientists and inventors have often taken their information that was readily available and put it together differently to produce new ideas that, too, is critical thinking. 72 As the class goes on, for example, you will probably spend a good deal of time organizing your speeches. While this may seem like a purely mechanical(机械的) exercise, it is closely connected with critical thinking. If the structure of your speech is loose and confused, chances are that your thinking is also disordered and confused. If, on the other hand, the structure is clear, there is a good chance your thinking is too. Organizing a speech is not a matter ofarranging the ideas you already have. 73 What is true of organization is true of many aspects of public speaking. 74 As you work on expressing your ideas in clear, accurate language, you will improve your ability to think clearly and accurately. 75 As you learn to listen critically to speeches in class. You will be better able to assess the ideas of speakers in a variety of situations. If you take full advantage of your speech class, you will be able to develop your skills as critical thinker in many circumstances. This is one reason public speaking has been regarded as a vital part of education since the days of ancient Greece. A. Rather, it is an important part of shaping the ideas themselves. B. This may seem like a lot of time, but the rewards are well worth it. C. It may also help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech. D. It has often been said that there are few new ideas in the world, only reorganized ideas. E. If you are wondering what this has to do with your public speaking class, the answer is quite a lot. F. The skills you learn in your speech class can help you become a more effective thinker in a number of ways. G. As you study the role of evidence and reasoning in speechmaking ,you will see how they can be used in other forms of communication as well. Empathy Last year, researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy, the ability to understand other people, among college students had dropped sharply over the past 10 years. __71__ Today, people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs. Jennifer Freed, a co-director of a teen program, has another explanation.
