Question

【题目】 We often see top students around us and everyone knows about them. Let us take Jenny as an example. She is monitor of our class. She spends a lot of time working for our class, but she s【1】 gets good grades in all subjects. How do students like Jenny do that? When I asked her, she said, “Hard work is not the whole story. It’s not how long you sit at the desk with your books open. It’s what you do while you are sitting.” Indeed, we can see many top students spend f 【2】 hours on their studies than their classmates. Jenny gave me some valuable suggestions.

Studying is a matter of personal preference(偏爱), so choose the w 【3】 that you are most comfortable with. Some people like working late at night when the house is quiet, while others like doing their work e【4】 in the morning. Still others like studying as soon as they arrive home from school while the work is fresh in their minds. No matter which way you use, try to do your best.

Studying is your business and business comes before entertainment(娱乐). When you are studying, phone calls should go unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks uneaten. Studying is the only thing in your mind. N 【5】 can pull you away from what you are studying.

Studying is like e 【6】 . You chew(咀嚼) it one bite at a time. You can plan what to do today, but don’t do too much. When you can’t finish the work you have planned to do, you may l 【7】 confidence. On the other hand, you will not study well without a good plan. It all depends on how you arrange your time.

Jenny told me that most of us would be as good as her if we tried our best. Maybe she is right, so why not have a try?

【解析】

本篇是班长珍妮给我的一些有价值的高效学习方法：选择合适自己的学习方法；学习第一娱乐第二；学习像吃东西，一口吃不成大胖子，只要努力学习都可以成为优秀的学生。

【1】句意：她花很多时间为我们班级工作，但她还是在所有科目都取得好成绩。

空格在动词前面，判断填副词；“根据上文She spends a lot of time working for our class她花很多时间为我们班级工作”，可知，她虽然花很多时间在工作上，学习还很优秀；由首字母提示，still意为“还”，故填still。

【2】句意：的确，我们可以看到很多优秀的学生在学习上比他们的同学花更少的时间。

根据句中than的比较结构，判断空格填形容词比较级；根据上文“It’s not how long you sit at the desk with your books open. It’s what you do while you are sitting学习并不是说你打开书坐在书桌旁多长时间，而是你坐在书桌旁做什么.”，可知优秀学生花时间比较少但效率更高，由首字母提示，故填fewer。

【3】句意：学习是个人偏好的问题，所以选择你最舒服的方法。

空格子在定冠词the后面，判断填名词；空格句是这段文章的总述句，根据下文提到各种适合不同人的学习时间，推断是“选择合适自己的学习方法”，由首字母提示，way意为“方法”，故填way。

【4】句意：一些人喜欢在深夜房间安静的时候工作，而一些人喜欢在清晨工作。

空格在动词短语后面，判断空格填副词；while意为“而”，前后句存在句意对比；根据“Some people like working late at night when the house is quiet, 一些人喜欢在深夜房间安静的时候工作”，判断后句句意“一些人喜欢在清晨工作”；由首字母提示，early in the morning意为“清晨”，故填early。

【5】句意：在你的脑海里学习是唯一的一件事。没有什么事情能把你从学习中拉走。

空格是句子的主语，判断填名词或代词；根据上文“Studying is the only thing in your mind.在你的脑海里学习是唯一的一件事”，推断下文句意为“没有什么事情能把你从学习中拉走”，nothing意为“没有什么事情”， 由首字母提示，故填Nothing。

【6】句意：学习就像吃东西。你一次只能咀嚼一口。

空格在like后面，判断填动名词；根据下文“You chew(咀嚼) it one bite at a time.你一次只能咀嚼一口。”推断上文把学习比作吃东西；由首字母提示，故填eating。

【7】句意：当你不能完成你计划要做的，你可能会失去信心。

空格在情态动词may后面，判断填动词原形；根据上文“When you can’t finish the work you have planned to do当你不能完成你计划要做的” 推断当完成不了计划的任务，会受到打击，失去信心；由首字母提示，lose confidence意为“失去信心”，故填lose。

根据首字母提示完成短文，解答前要先跳空阅读全文，猜测大意；再根据上下文联系猜测空格所缺的信息；最后根据首字母提示确定单词。本篇都要根据空格前后的词的词性来判断空格的词性，再根据上下文联系确定空格的词义。题2 要注意前后句句意的对比，形容词用比较级，题6like后面用动名词，题7 情态动词后面用的动词原形。完篇后阅读全文，检查所填的单词的拼写、时态和词义是否符合文章的意思。
