【解析】在早晨,没有什么声音比闹钟更令人讨厌了。对于清晨,有些人是带着微笑从床上一跃而起,有些人却视之为最可恶的敌人。本文中作者给出了几点建议,可以帮助读者把早晨变得不那么难以忍受。
【1】分析划线处的后文While I have a love-hate relationship with mornings,I have found that there are indeed ways to make mornings a little more bearable.中的a love-hate relationship和bearable表示作者对早晨的感情态度是爱恨交织的,并且作者在后文会给写建议,帮助读者把早晨变得不那么难以忍受。而前文Some of us are the type to jolt out of bed with a smile.说有些人早晨是带着微笑从床上翻起来的,因而可以推测出划线处应该是转折语气,表示有些人不喜欢早晨。E选项However,for others,mornings are the worst enemy.然而,对于有些人来说,早晨是最坏的敌人。符合语境要求。故选E。
【2】根据小标题可知这一段的大意是在早晨的时候对这一天进行规划。划线处的前文Give yourself at least one little thing to look forward to each day表示“每天要给自己安排至少一件可以期待的事情”,F选项It can even be a cookie of your favorite taste on the lunch break.表示“它可以是午餐休息时你最喜欢的那个口味的曲奇饼”,it指代的正是前文中的one little thing。故选F。
【3】前文Even just ten minutes of focused mental thought can completely clear your mind说明哪怕十分钟的注意力集中的精神状态都可以完全使你的思想清晰起来。G选项It’s easy with the availability of apps and YouTube guided exercises out there.中的apps以及YouTube都是能让人注意力集中的东西,符合语境。再结合后文Of all of them,I like Headspace best可知划线处肯定列举出了好几种能让人注意力集中的事物,因而G选项能很好的将前后文联系起来。故选G。
【4】根据后面的If you have your outfit ready in advance,you are more likely to feel confident and mentally prepared for the day如果你提前准备好衣服,第二天你更有可能感觉信心满满。可知这一段的大意是提前准备好第二天要穿的衣服。B选项Lay out your clothes the night before符合这一段的大意,故选B。
【5】根据小标题Go with a friend or classmate to breakfast,school,etc.和朋友或同学去吃早餐或去上学。D选项中Mornings are best when you have good company.表示“如果你有个好伴侣,早晨还是很美好的”符合语境。故选D。
