Question

【題目】Americans think much about time. From childhood(童年)they learn to value(珍視)time. As children their parents and teachers ask them to be on time to go to school, to work and to do everything. When they are having a good time, they say that time goes easily. When a person is dying（死亡）, they say he is living on a borrowed time.

試題分析：我們經(jīng)常說(shuō)：一寸光陰一寸金，時(shí)間是非常寶貴的。而這篇短文給我們介紹的是美國(guó)人的時(shí)間觀念，他們覺(jué)得時(shí)間非常重要，時(shí)間就是金錢，就是一切，因此他們的生活節(jié)奏非常的快。

【3】B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段中When a person is dying（死亡）, they say he is living on a borrowed time.可知，當(dāng)一個(gè)人快要死亡的時(shí)候，他們會(huì)說(shuō)他們在茍延殘喘的活著。由此可知選B。

【5】A主旨大意題。這篇短文給我們介紹的是美國(guó)人的時(shí)間觀念，他們覺(jué)得時(shí)間非常重要，時(shí)間就是金錢，就是一切，因此他們的生活節(jié)奏非常的快。故A選項(xiàng)美國(guó)人的時(shí)間觀念這個(gè)題目最符合文章的大意，故選A。
