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。

Today our life and work rarely feel light or pleasant. Instead, the whole experience of being alive begins to melt into one enormous obligation(责任). 【1】

We say this to one another with great pride. 【2】 We are unavailable to our friends and family, unable to find time for the sunset, to finish off our obligations without time for a single mindful breath. This seems to have become the model of a successful life.

Because we do not rest, we lose our way. We lose the relaxation that gives us help. 【3】 Poisoned by the belief that good things come only through tireless effort, we never truly rest. This is not the world we dreamed of when we were young. But how did we get so terribly rushed in a world filled with work and responsibility, yet it lacks joy and delight?

【4】 Sunday is the time to enjoy and celebrate what is beautiful and good, time to sing songs, give thanks, and walk. It is time to be refreshed as we stop our work, our chores and our important projects.

Sunday is more than the absence of work. Many of us, in our desperate drive to be successful and care for our many responsibilities, feel terrible guilty when we take time to rest. 【5】 Many of us still recall when, not long ago, shops and offices were closed on Sundays. Those quiet Sunday afternoons are deep in our cultural memory.

A. We also miss the quiet that gives us wisdom.

B. All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.

C. It becomes the standard greeting everywhere, “I am so busy.”

D. We work through day and night, feeling rather exhausted.

E. But the Sunday has proven its wisdom over the ages.

F. The reason is simple: we have forgotten the Sunday.

G. The busier we are, the more important we seem to ourselves and, we imagine, to others.

【答案】

【1】C

【2】G

【3】A

【4】F

【5】E

【解析】

试题分析：

【1】C前句提到如今人们的生活缺少了轻松和乐趣，而背负的责任增加，由此判断C选项能承接上文，选C。

【2】G 根据后句We are unavailable to our friends and family,可以判断前句是讲述人们的忙碌，而G选项内容也是讲述人们的忙碌的，内容符合语境，故选G。

【3】A前句内容提到因为忙碌我们失去了放松的时刻，而A选项内容也是人们对过去的怀念，信息提示词also，由此判断A选项符合语境。

【4】F后句是关于Sunday的内容，而F选项也提到了Sunday，认为人们生活中缺少了欢乐的原因是忘掉了在周日的放松，内容可以起到上下文的过渡作用，故选F。

【5】E本段内容是关于周日在人们生活中不可或缺的作用。上句讲述在责任和压力下人们感觉休息放松会让人内疚，而后句是有关周日在记忆中给人们带来的轻松愉悦的作用，由此判断E选项内容可以承接上下文，选E。
