Question

There are 365 days in a year. We sleep 8 hours a day, so we have 122 days for sleeping. Then our work time has 243 days left. But there are 52 weekends in a year. Each weekend is two days. We lose another 104 days a year for work. It takes us about one hour to have breakfast and supper. This comes to 15 days over a year. But we can’t work all that time-we need a holiday. Let’s say we have three weeks’ holiday. We don’t work all day. Four free hours each evening takes up 61 days. We have to remember that we get 2 days’ holiday at Easter, 3 at Christmas and 1 at the New Year. There are also 4 Bank holidays. Take those 10 days away and we have 32 days for work. But then we have one and a half hours’ lunch every day, and half an hour’s coffee break. That comes to 30 days a year. This means that we have only a few days left for work every year!

試題分析：
1.根據(jù)so we have 122 days for sleeping可知，我們一年睡覺122天。所以本題選B。
2.通過 It takes us about one hour to have breakfast and supper. This comes to 15 days over a year.可知，在早飯和晚飯上一年要用15天。所以本題選D。
3.根據(jù) Each weekend is two days可知A是錯誤的；根據(jù)we get 2 days’ holiday at Easter可知C是錯誤的；根據(jù)half an hour’s coffee break可知D是錯誤的；根據(jù) Four free hours each evening takes up 61 days可知，B 是正確的。
4.根據(jù)This means that we have only a few days left for work every year!
可知，我們工作的時間不太多，修飾time不能用many，故排除BD；而much too是“太，非�！钡囊馑�，只有too much是“太多”的意思，可以修飾時間。所以本題選C。
5.通過閱讀全文，我們知道作者的意思是我們工作的時間不多，不能浪費(fèi)時間。所以本題選D。
考點(diǎn)：本題考查議論文。
點(diǎn)評：本文通過算賬的形式告訴我們工作的時間不多，不能浪費(fèi)時間。由于文中出現(xiàn)的數(shù)字較多，不易把握，所以在閱讀時盡量減慢速度，注意體會作者的意圖，當(dāng)然本題的題目并不是很難，1、2、3小題都可以在文中找到答案，第4小題是考知識方面的題目,5小題是推測題。
