【解析】

本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，介紹了如何更好地管理時(shí)間的幾點(diǎn)建議。

【1】空前說(shuō)時(shí)間管理是計(jì)劃和控制在具體活動(dòng)上花多少時(shí)間的過(guò)程，你完成的事情的數(shù)量和質(zhì)量取決于你如何有效地管理你的時(shí)間，下文又介紹了管理時(shí)間的幾點(diǎn)建議，此處需要一個(gè)承上啟下的過(guò)渡句，既要對(duì)應(yīng)上文提到的時(shí)間管理話題，又要引出下文介紹的幾點(diǎn)建議，故D項(xiàng)（以下是一些如何更好地管理時(shí)間的建議）符合語(yǔ)境。故選D。

【2】空后說(shuō)不要僅僅依靠你的記憶，這說(shuō)明你要把你的計(jì)劃寫(xiě)下來(lái)，故A項(xiàng)（把它們寫(xiě)下來(lái)）符合語(yǔ)境。故選A。

【3】此處為本段小標(biāo)題，根據(jù)本段內(nèi)容，特別是根據(jù)“Consider shutting them off completely as you work on a task that requires your full attention.”可知，當(dāng)你做一個(gè)需要你全神貫注的任務(wù)時(shí)，把社交媒體完全關(guān)掉，因此本段主要講的是要專(zhuān)注于所做的事情，不要分心，故B項(xiàng)（專(zhuān)注于你所做的事情）符合語(yǔ)境。故選B。

【4】空后說(shuō)他們努力做好少數(shù)幾個(gè)真正重要的領(lǐng)域，并有勇氣對(duì)其他的一切說(shuō)“不”，這說(shuō)明此處應(yīng)該會(huì)提到一種成功人士敢于說(shuō)“不”的情況，空后一句中的“They”指代的就是G項(xiàng)中的“business leaders”，故G項(xiàng)（許多商界領(lǐng)袖把他們的成功歸結(jié)為簡(jiǎn)單地說(shuō)“不”）符合語(yǔ)境。故選G。

【5】空前說(shuō)休息對(duì)你的大腦有好處，如果你休息一下，你會(huì)表現(xiàn)得更好，此處總結(jié)上文，講的是讓大腦保持清醒的好處，故E項(xiàng)（處理難題的方法來(lái)自于清醒的頭腦）符合語(yǔ)境。故選E。

【題目】 We walked in so quietly that the nurse at the desk didn't even lift her eyes from the book. Mum pointed at a big chair by the door and I knew she wanted me to sit down. While I watched mouth open in surprise, Mum took off her hat and coat and gave them to me to hold. She walked quietly to the small room by the lift and took out a wet mop.

Ever since I was a small children I’ve enjoyed doing exercise, either indoor nor outdoor. Keep fit is important to me and I used to spend a couple of hour at the gym every week.

He just said, “Why not to give it a try?” So I went to a club and found I enjoyed them, though I would have to do a lot training to be good at it.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源： 題型：

【題目】 A desire among many seniors is to “age in place.” Aging in place is a term used to describe a person living in their own house, for as long as they are able to, as they age. Yes, the familiarity of your current home is the advantage of aging in place, but the potential financial drawbacks to renovate（翻新）the house might actually be more costly than the long-term benefits.

40 years ago, with a growing family, you probably purchased a 4-bedroom child-friendly house. Now, with kids moving out, you might be thinking about changing one of your bedrooms into a massive master bathroom, and another into an open-space reading area. You might also be thinking about cutting back on lawn maintenance（草坪維護(hù)）by installing a pool surrounded by beautiful paving stones. It all sounds wonderful doesn’t it？For the short term, you may really enjoy the new upgrades, but you’ll still have to climb those stairs, pay to heat and cool a home that’s larger than what you need, and continue fixing all the things that start to go wrong with a 40-year-old home.

Last month, in their Retirement Repot, Kiplinger addressed the point, “Renovations are just a part of what you need to make aging in place work for you. While it’s typically less expensive to remain in your home than to pay for assisted living, that doesn’t mean it’s a slam dunk to stay put. You’ll still have a long to-do list. You need to plan ahead for how you will manage maintenance and care-for your home, and for yourself.”

So, at some point, the time may come when you decide to sell this house anyway. That can pose a big challenge if you’ve already taken cash value out of your home and used it to do the type of renovation we mentioned above. The family moving into your neighborhood is probably similar to what your family was 40 years ago.

【1】Why do many seniors want to age in place？

A.They are familiar with the house.B.They can enjoy long-term benefits.

C.They can live as long as they desire.D.They are likely to avoid financial trouble.

【2】What do the seniors renovate the houses mainly for？

A.Preparing for aging in place.B.Making it more energy-efficient.

C.Cutting back on the necessary cost.D.Making full use of the space available.

【3】What is conveyed in the Retirement Report？

A.Aging in place turns out to be very rewarding.

B.Renovating the house calls for a lot of money.

C.Assisted living deserves wider public attention.

D.Aging in place is more than renovating the house.

【4】What can be the author’s advice for those wishing to age in place？

A.Take life as it is.B.Think before you act.

C.Better late than never.D.Enjoy life to the fullest.
