这篇短文告诉我们时间是非常宝贵的,我们不能浪费时间,而是应该珍惜时间,并且合理、充分地使用时间,活在当下。
【1】句意:然而我们大多数人直到太晚了才意识到时间的宝贵。remind提醒,使想起;realize意识到;review复习,回顾;research研究。根据句意和下文It is only when we get___6___that we begin to realize that time is a precious treasure.可知,这里表示“意识到时间的宝贵”,故应选B。
【2】句意:我们不去计算一天中的每一秒、每一分钟、每一小时,因为我们知道明天会带来更多。tomorrow 明天;success成功;ability能力;knowledge知识。根据句意和空后will bring more可知,带来更多时间的是明天,故应选A。
【3】句意:我们有如此多的时间,以至于我们觉得自己能够轻松地承担得起浪费时间的后果。agree同意;avoid避免;afford负担得起;advise建议。根据句意We have so much time….to waste some of it可知,这里表示“我们认为自己能承担浪费时间的后果”,故应选C。
【4】句意:想想这些常见的英语表达:“浪费时间”、“填满时间”、“消磨时间”。expressions表达;instructions指导,说明;suggestions建议;introductions介绍。根据空后"wasting time. ""filling in time” or even "killing time"可知,这里列举的是与time有关的英语表达,故应选A。
【5】句意:我们对时间多么的不尊重。few几乎没有,修饰可数名词;little少,几乎没有,修饰不可数名词;a few一些,几个;a little一点儿。根据上文"wasting time. ""filling in time” or even "killing time"可知,人们对时间是不尊重的,这里表示否定的意思,先排除C和D。空后respect是不可数名词,故应选B。
【6】句意:只有当我们变老的时候,我们才意识到时间是宝贵的财富。older更老的;stronger更强壮的;elder更年长的;higher更高的。上文When we are young, we feel that we will never run out of time.提到,“我们年轻的时候,总是感觉时间用不完”,这里应对应说“我们老的时候,才意识到时间的宝贵”,故应选A。
【7】句意:我们可能突然发现自己没有很好地投资我们的时间。Simply仅仅,只;Specially特殊地;Suddenly突然;Seriously严重地,严肃地。根据句意可知,这里表示“我们老的时候,突然意识到…”,故选C。
【8】句意:我们发现我们不再有足够的时间去做我们想做的事情了。at times有时候;any more不再,谓语动词应用否定形式,构成not …any more;at least至少;no longer不再。根据句意可知,这里表示“不再有足够的时间了”,修饰谓语动词have,故选D。
【9】句意:正如成年人需要把钱花在税收和账单等不愉快的事情上一样,他们也必须把时间花在那些他们可能并不想做的事情上。unexpected出乎意料的;unpleasant令人不愉快的;unforgettable难忘的;unbelievable难以置信的。根据句中they also have to spend their time doing things that they might not really want to do“他们也把时间花在他们不想做的事情上”可知,这里应指的是“把钱花在令人不愉快的事情上”,故应选B。
【10】句意:正如习语所说:“拖延就是浪费时间”。writes写;tells告诉;reads 读;says说。say可以表示“提供信息”,这里表示习语的内容,故应选D。
