Question

【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Everyone wants more free time to do the things they love. Here are four methods that you can use in your personal life to get things done more efficiently and save time.

1. Save time by shopping all at once.

【1】 Go out and do all of your shopping on a single day in a single trip. By the way, the very best time to shop for groceries is Tuesday afternoon and evening. Why? Store shelves are restocked（再备货）on Monday after the weekend. On Tuesday, you can get the greatest selection, get out fast, and get more free time.

2. 【2】

Wasting the time of other people is usually not deliberate. If you are a boss with people reporting to you, avoid wasting the time of your staff by keeping them waiting or being late for meetings. The more respect you show for the time of your staff, the more valuable and important they will feel. 【3】

3. Get more free time by being punctual.

Only 2 percent of people are punctual all the time, and these people are respected by everyone. Punctuality is professional and polite. 【4】 There is no such thing as being fashionably late.

4. Get things done quickly.

Get things done at a fast pace. 【5】 The more efficiently you work and the more you get done, the better you feel. Most successful people work at a faster pace than unsuccessful people.

A. Don’t waste the time of others.

B. Get into the hait of being on time.

C. When you go shopping, do it all at once.

D. Don’t break the rule of meeting strangers.

E. The same rule applies to your personal life.

F. Remember, fast pace is essential to success.

G. Get everything done before going shopping every time.

【5】F

【解析】

【文章大意】每个人都想有更多的业余时间去做自己喜爱的事情。可是如何做事情既有效率又能节省时间呢？文中的方法值得我们借鉴。

【1】C 考查上下文和句意理解。根据本段的标题“Save time by shopping all at once.”（通过立即购物来节省时间）和后面的“Go out and do all of your shopping on a single day in a single trip.”可知，“When you go shopping, do it all at once.”（当你去购物的时候，一次把东西买齐）符合题意。故答案为C。

【2】A 考查上下文和归纳概括。本空是选小标题，根据后面的内容“Wasting the time of other people is usually not deliberate.”（浪费其他人的时间通常都不是故意的）和“avoid wasting the time of your staff”（避免浪费你的员工的时间）可知，本空应该是“不要浪费其他人的时间”。故答案为A。

【3】E 考查上下文和句意理解。根据前面的内容“The more respect you show for the time of your staff, the more valuable and important they will feel.”和本段的标题内容“不要浪费时间”可知，“The same rule applies to your personal life.”（同样的规则也适用于你的个人生活）为本题答案，故选E。

【4】B 考查上下文和句意理解。根据本段的标题“Get more free time by being punctual.”（通过守时来得到更多的自由时间）和本空前面一句的内容“Punctuality is professional and polite.”（守时是专业和有礼貌的）可知，本空应该是“Get into the habit of being on time.”（养成准时的习惯）。故答案为B。

【5】F 考查上下文和句意理解。根据后面的“Most successful people work at a faster pace than unsuccessful people.”（大多数成功的人工作节奏比不成功的人要更快）可知，“Remember, fast pace is essential to success.”（记住：快节奏是成功最基本的原则）。因此正确答案为F。
