Answer 1

分析 本文講述的是如何提高效率以減少完成家庭作業(yè)的時(shí)間．作者提出四點(diǎn)建議：第一，關(guān)閉電子設(shè)備；第二，適當(dāng)進(jìn)行鍛煉；第三，在安靜的地方學(xué)習(xí)；第四，適當(dāng)安排休息時(shí)間．

解答 36-40．FGDAC
36．F 考查上下文聯(lián)系．前面提到"Homework can be a long，hardtask for many students"可知，有時(shí)候，坐下來并開始工作是一項(xiàng)挑戰(zhàn)．故選F．
37．G 考查上下文聯(lián)系．根據(jù)"Power down electronics，關(guān)閉電子設(shè)備．"可知，要鼓勵你的孩子把電子設(shè)備關(guān)閉，且在必要時(shí)才使用它們．故選G．
38．D 考查上下文聯(lián)系．根據(jù)"others benefit from this type of physical activity before beginning their school work"可知，這些體育鍛煉將有助于提高警覺性和注意力．故選D．
39．A 考查上下文聯(lián)系．根據(jù)"Any of these choices work fine，as long as they are in a quiet area with minimal noise．"可知，要找一個(gè)安靜的地方學(xué)習(xí)．故選A．
40．C 考查上下文聯(lián)系．根據(jù)"And they will reward themselves with a break after each partis complete"可知，學(xué)生經(jīng)常把作業(yè)分成幾部分，并且在各部分完成后，他們就會獎勵自己．故選C．

點(diǎn)評 七選五"這樣的題型，主要目的在于"考查考生對文章的整體內(nèi)容和結(jié)構(gòu)以及上下文邏輯意義的理解和掌握．解題時(shí)最主要的兩個(gè)步驟就是1．理清文章的邏輯和結(jié)構(gòu)，2．在所給的原文中找出關(guān)鍵詞或者說是線索詞．文章的整體思路能幫助你在答案中篩選出符合邏輯的選項(xiàng)，關(guān)鍵詞則能幫助你確定更多的細(xì)節(jié)，排除相近的選項(xiàng)．這些技巧多練練就能孰能生巧．
