2.Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be.Places of business that used to keep daytime"business hours"are now open late into the night.And on the Internet,the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant(不相关的).A half century ago in the United States,most people experienced dividing lines between days of rest and days of work,school time and summer time.Today the boundaries(界限) are still present,but they seem not clear.The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most,it no longer does.It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer,in most,it still does.And whether the work week should strengthen(加强) its legal limits(法律限制),or whether it should become more"practical"is often discussed.How should we,as a society,arrange our time?Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other?
These are not easy questions even to ask.Part of the difficulty is that we seldom care about the"law of time"even when we meet it face to face.We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number of hours,a certain number of days,a certain number of years-but unless we meet the truant officer (督学),we may well think that we should go to school due to social custom(习惯) and parents'demand(要求) rather than to the law.As adults we are used to"extra(额外的) pay for overtime working",but less used to the fact that"overtime"is a matter of legal definition.When we turn the clock forward to start daylight-saving time,have we ever thought to ourselves;"Here is the law in action"?As we shall see,there is a lot of law that has great influence on how to arrange and use time:compulsory education law,overtime law,and daylight-saving law-as well as law about Sunday closing,holidays,being late to work,time zones,and so on.Once we begin to look for it,we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and assess(评价).

解答 49-52:BCBA
49题答案:B词义推断理解题,结合前面的句子:The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most,it no longer does.几乎所有州的法律都要求商店在星期日关门,结合词义in most,it no longer does,应该是现在大我数不这么要求了,故选择B.
50题答案:C 推理判断题.根据第二段描述The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most,it no longer does.It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer,in most,it still does.And whether the work week should strengthen(加强) its legal limits(法律限制),or whether it should become more"practical"is often discussed.How should we,as a society,arrange our time?Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other?作者提出这样的问题是想说明人们不清楚时间规律,而并非"不能充分利用时间"、"喜欢工作以得到额外报酬"或"欢迎富有弹性的工作时间".故选择C.
51题答案:B 推理判断题.根据第三段…we should go to school due to social custom and parents'demand rather than to the law可知学生们认为上学是迫于社会习惯或家长的要求而不是出于时间规律,应选择B.
52题答案:A 主旨大意题.本文探讨了时间规律的变化以及由此带来的人们生活起居、工作学习的变化.因此选择A"我们的生活有时间规律掌控"符合文章主题.B"怎样安排时间不值得讨论",C"利用时间的新方法改变了我们社会",D"我们的时间日程由社会习惯决定"都不合文章主题或表达不正确.
点评 本文是一篇日常生活类阅读,题目涉及多道细节理解题,做题时结合原文和题目有针对 性找出相关语句进行仔细分析,结合选项选出正确答案.推理判断也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确的答案.
People who know that they are not well-prepared are usually those who fear test most.However,most students don't know when they are truly prepared for a test.As long as(只要) you know that you have studied well and long enough,you have reason to believe that you are well-prepared.
Be confident about yourself.Confidence before a test can bring about two things:either you fail the test and feel as if your confidence was unfounded(毫无根据)or you could actually do well in the test because of your confidence.Some students find that they experience the first result.However,this is only because those students might not have followed the first tip mentioned above.As long as you have studied well,you will be more confident of your chance to succeed in a test.If you feel as if you have not studied hard enough,then you will not be as confident as you should be.
Ask your teacher in advance(提前)about the material that is going to be covered in the test.In this way,you will know what you should prepare for and you can get confidence in the test.But you have to be brave enough to ask.Most students do not ask unless their teacher gives the information first,so make sure that you ask.
You should know that tests are only telling if you have got the knowledge,not how good or bad your IQ is.So,even if you do badly in one test,you should know that there are other tests to come.As long as you think that there is another tomorrow,you can overcome your fear of a test.However,make sure that you are going to prepare well for the other tests.
Fear can be a problem in the process of achieving success.However,with the right attitude(态度) and preparations,you can overcome your fear of tests by using these tips.
