【解析】

試題分析：

 B 根據(jù)前一句The unpunctual man, on the other hand, never does what he has to do at the right time說明不守時(shí)的人不能在正確的時(shí)間做正確的事情，接下來B項(xiàng)內(nèi)容;總是很匆忙，總是在失去時(shí)間與之相符。

 D 根據(jù)上句“Time flies never to be recalled．”說明所填的這句與之意思相近，故D項(xiàng)內(nèi)容：時(shí)間一去不復(fù)返。與之相符。

 E 根據(jù)下一句He knows that he can get through his huge amount of work only if he faithfully keeps every appointment and deals with every piece of work when it has to be attended to．說明這是守時(shí)的人所做的事情，故E項(xiàng)內(nèi)容：有很多事情要做的人一定會珍惜自己的時(shí)間。這樣的人才是守時(shí)的人。E項(xiàng)符合上下文。

 G 根據(jù)本段內(nèi)容說明不守時(shí)是對別人的不尊重，那么這樣的人是不會成功的，故G項(xiàng)就是文章的中心思想，符合上下文。

 F 本段仍然是關(guān)于不守時(shí)的危害，鞏固F項(xiàng)與上下文意思相符，那些不守時(shí)的人永遠(yuǎn)都不會得到別人的尊敬。

考點(diǎn)：考查總結(jié)歸納和推理能力

點(diǎn)評：此類文章重在把握上下文之間的邏輯關(guān)系，通過前后的意思連貫性及細(xì)致性用心的答題，定能完成的很好。

A punctual person is in the habit of doing a thing at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment.

A lost thing may be found again, but lost time can never be regained. Time is more valuable than material things. In fact, time is life itself. The unpunctual man is for ever wasting and mismanaging his most valuable asset as well as others’. The unpunctual person is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters, or return calls or keep appointments promptly. But the man who really has a great deal to do is very careful of his time and seldom complains of want of it.
