So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule: 1.Think ahead.

Do you have the right materials ready? _【2】__

2. Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread? __【3】__ it takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.

3. __【4】__ This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.

B. Understand your food better.

C. Ability is easily improved.

D. Make three or four instead.

E. Cooking is a burden for many people.

【答案】

【1】C

【2】F

【3】D

【4】A

【5】G

【解析】試題分析：這篇文章主要講的是作者給那些生活中抽不出空來做飯的人提的一些建議。

【1】C：考察對上下文的理解。由前文可知，人們不喜歡經(jīng)常做飯的原因主要有3個：ability，money、time，而后文又說money這個話題他想過段時間再談，今天所要談的重點(diǎn)是time，那么這個空就是說的ability，所以選C。

【2】F：考察對關(guān)鍵詞的把握。第一點(diǎn)是think ahead，也就是要先計劃安排好時間，與F中的planning ahead相呼應(yīng)，因此選F。

【3】D:考察對上下文的理解。我們看這個空前面的一個問句的意思是你是在做一塊面包嗎？而這個空后面的句子的意思是花一樣的時間去做更多的事情。這段的主題又是讓你的時間變得有意義，顯而易見，作者的意思是我們應(yīng)該在這段時間里做更多的面包，3塊或者4塊，而不是一塊。因此選D。

【4】A:考察對關(guān)鍵詞的把握。這題是選小標(biāo)題，那么我們就要結(jié)合這段的內(nèi)容來做分析。由這段中的new ideas和the more you try可知這段主要講的是嘗試新的事物。所以選A。

【5】G:考察排除法的運(yùn)用。這題可用排除法，首先排除A、C、D、F，那么就還剩下B、E、G。由于最后一段講的是對人們的美好祝愿，而E則是陳述的一個事實(shí)，所以排除E。然后這篇文章主要講的是怎樣在繁忙的生活安排中抽出空來做飯，所以主要是講的cooking和living的關(guān)系，排除B，選G。

【題目】A nine-year-old kid was sitting at his desk when suddenly there was a puddle (some water or liquid) between his feet and the front of his trousers was wet. He thought his heart was going to stop because he couldn’t possibly imagine how this had happened. It had never happened before, and he knew that when the boys found out he would never hear the end of it. When the girls found out, they would never speak to him again as long as he lived.

He prayed this prayer, “Dear God, I need help now! Five minutes from now I’m dead meat! ” He looked up from his prayer and here came the teacher with a look in her eyes that said he had been discovered. As the teacher was walking toward him, a classmate named Susie was carrying a goldfish bowl full of water. Susie tripped （絆倒） in front of the teacher and dumped （倒）the bowl of water in the boy’s lap. The boy pretended to be angry, but all the while he was saying to himself, “Thank you. God! ”

Now all of a sudden, instead of being the object of ridicule(嘲笑), the boy was the object of sympathy（同情）. The teacher rushed him downstairs and gave him gym shorts to put on while his trousers dried out. All the other children were on their hands and knees cleaning up around his desk. The sympathy was wonderful. But as life would have it, the ridicule that should have been his had been transferred （轉(zhuǎn)移） to someone else—Susie. She tried to help, but they told her to get out.

【題目】Laws that would have ensured pupils from 5 to 16 to receive a full financial education got lost in the ‘wash up’. An application is calling on the next government to bring it back.

At school the children are taught to add up and subtract(減法) but, extraordinarily, are not routinely shown how to open a bank account — let alone how to manage their finances in an increasingly complex and demanding world.

Today the parenting website Mumsnet and the consumer campaigner Martin Lewis have joined forces to launch an online application to make financial education a compulsory element of the school curriculum in England. Children from 5 to 16 should be taught about everything from pocket money to pensions, they say. And that was exactly the plan preserved in the Children, Schools and Families bill that was shelved by the government in the so-called “wash-up” earlier this month — the rush to legislation before parliament was dismissed. Consumer and parent groups believe financial education has always been one of the most frustrating omissions of the curriculum.

As the Personal Finance Education Group (Pfeg) points out, the good habits of young children do not last long. Over 75% of seven- to-eleven-year-olds are savers but by the time they get to 17, over half of them are in debt to family and friends. By this age, 26% see a credit card or overdraft(透支) as a way of extending their spending power. Pfeg predicts that these young people will “find it much harder to avoid the serious unexpected dangers that have befallen many of their parents' generation unless they receive good quality financial education while at school.”

The UK has been in the worst financial recession(衰退)for generations. It does seem odd that — unless parents step in — young people are left in the dark until they are cruelly introduced to the world of debt when they turn up at university. In a recent poll of over 8,000 people, 97% supported financial education in schools, while 3% said it was a job for parents.

【1】 The passage is mainly about _____________.

A. how to manage school lessons

B. how to deal with the financial crisis

C. teaching young people about money

D. teaching students how to study effectively

【2】It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that __________.

A. the author complains about the school education

B. pupils should not be taught to add up and subtract

C. students have been taught to manage their finances

D. laws on financial education have been effectively carried out

【3】 The website and the consumer campaigner joined to _________.

A. instruct the pupils to donate their pocket money

B. promote the connection of schools and families

C. ask the government to dismiss the parliament

D. appeal for the curriculum of financial education

【4】A poll is mentioned to ___________.

A. stress the necessity of the curriculum reform

B. show the seriousness of the financial recession

C. make the readers aware of burden of the parents

D. illustrate some people are strongly against the proposal

【題目】Owning a smartphone may not be as smart as you think. It may let you surf the Internet, listen to music and snap photos wherever you are... but it also turns you into a workaholic, it seems.

A study suggests that, by giving you access to emails at all times, the all-singing, all-dancing mobilephone adds as much as two hours to your working day. Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles.

The study by technology retailer Pixmania reveals the average UK working day is between 9 and 10 hours, but a further two hours is spent responding to or sending work emails, or making work calls. More than 90 percent of office workers have email-enabled phones, with a third accessing them more than 20 times a day. Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails. Some workers confess they are on call almost 24 hours a day, with nine out of ten saying they make work emails and calls outside their normal working hours. The average time for first checking emails is between 6 am and 7 am, with more than a third checking their first emails in this period, and a quarter checking them between 11 pm and midnight.

Ghadi Hobeika, marketing director of Pixmania, said, “The ability to access literally millions of apps, keep in contact via social networks and take photos and video as well as text and call has made smartphones invaluable for many people. However, there are drawbacks. Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and smartphones mean that people literally cannot get away from work. The more constantly in contact we become, the more is expected of us in a work capacity. “

【1】Which of the following is true according to the text?

A. The average UK working time is between nine and twelve hours.

B. Nine-tenths spend over three hours checking work emails.

C. One-fourth check their first mail between 11 pm and midnight.

D. The average time for first checking emails is between 6 am and 8 am.

【2】The underlined word “accessing” in the third paragraph can be replaced by “ “.

A. calling B. using C. reaching D. getting

【3】What can we conclude from the text?

A. Every coin has two sides

B. It never rains but pours.

C. All that glitters is not gold..

D. It’s no good crying over spilt milk.

【4】What’s the main idea of the text?

A. Workaholics like smartphones.

B. Employers don’t like smartphones.

C. Smartphones make our life easier.

D. Smartphones bring about extra work.
