1．Tips for Cooking on a Tight Schedule
    From my experience，there are three main reasons why people don't cook more often：ability，money and time．（16）B． Money is a topic I'll save for another day．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．The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I'm already hungry and there's nothing ready to eat．So think ahead of the coming week．When will you have time to cook？Do you have the right materials already？（17）G．
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？（18）C．  It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something．So sav e yourself the effort for a future meal．
3．（19）A． 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．
Hopefully that gives a good start．（20）F． And don't let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!

A．Try new things．
B．Ability is easily improved．
C．Make three or four instead．

點評 七選五題型看似簡單，實際上有時完全作對并不容易，需要方法和分析能力及足夠的耐力，有必要進行專門練習．首先，快速瀏覽一遍七個備選答案，先確定哪個選項適合放在文章的什么位置．其次，快速瀏覽文章，確定文章體裁，抓住文章結構，分析篇章結構，找出各段的主題句或主旨大意．其三，注意各選項中出現(xiàn)的句子銜接手段，尋找句中銜接標志詞，七選五備選答案中有兩個多余的選項，會對文章中兩個空的選擇構成干擾，這時要特別細致地比對相似選項．最后，用代入法，檢查答案是否合理，將所有選擇答案放回空白處，通讀全文，檢查文章內容是否語義連貫合理、緊扣主題，語篇結構是否通順連貫、具有一致性、合乎邏輯，寫作思路是否清晰明了，格式以及用語是否恰當貼切，從而判斷選擇的答案是否正確．
