4.A.Time can run out.
B.Tomorrow won't be better.
C.Ideas need time to develop.
D.Your professor will be impatient.
E.You blow off your chances for help.
F.You are probably overestimating (高估) the pain.

Never Put off Tomorrow What You Can Do Today
Want to put off studying for the physics test?Or writing that thirty-five-page research paper on future uses of biotechnology?Sure you do?And who wouldn't?But it's still a silly idea to put off doing something until a future time.Here is why…
61.B The task will be still the same.It won't be any more fun and you still won't want to do it.As the deadline gets closer and closer,the task seems to become larger and larger if you haven't started the work.And the stress increases.Now not only do you have to write that paper,you have to do it under great pressure.
62.F Before you start,it seems that the task is unlikely to be accomplished.But you know what?You're probably miscalculating.Get started-maybe on a small piece-and you will discover that you have more resources and know more about the subject than you thought.Result?You won't experience nearly as much suffering as you expected to.Things are guaranteed-100percent-to get better.
63.E If you leave your work before the night before it's due,you give up the possibility of getting input from your professor.Professors regularly give advice-or at least a few useful tips-during office hours.Unfortunately,though,they don't usually hold office hours at midnight,so you will be out of luck when you discover the night before the midterm that you have no idea how to do the questions that will count for two-thirds of your grade.
64.C Ever wonder why the professor assigns the papers two weeks before it's due?It's because he or she expects you to be thinking about the issue,or doing the research,for two weeks.No,not every waking moment,but at least some of the time.After all,the professor could just as easily have given the assignment one week before it was due if he or she expected less thinking.When you throw together a paper or a report at the last minute,your ideas are half-baked.And your professor will know it.
65.A If you put things off at the last minute,you might find that you haven't budgeted enough minutes to finish the necessary tasks.It's the easiest thing in the world to miscalculate how long it'll take to do all the work especially when new issues arise-like illness,family problems,computer breakdowns,trouble at work,and all the other things-as you're thinking through your paper argument or preparing yourself for the coming test.If you keep delaying,you don't allow yourself time for those various life events that have an adverse (不利的) effect on your ability to complete your assignment.

分析 本篇講的是把任務(wù)推到明天這樣一個(gè)習(xí)慣的壞處,分五段分析分析了五種壞處:明天不一定會(huì)更好;你可能高估了痛苦的力量;得到幫助的機(jī)會(huì)可能會(huì)喪失;有時(shí)候想法和見解是需要時(shí)間去培養(yǎng)和發(fā)展的;時(shí)間會(huì)流逝.

解答 61.答案:B.根據(jù)后面的兩句"The task will be still the same.It won't be any more fun and you still won't want to do it."可以推斷,本段談?wù)摰闹黝}把工作留給將來做不是好主意.
62.答案:F.根據(jù)前兩句"…it seems that the task is unlikely to be accomplished.But…miscalculating…maybe it's a small place…h(huán)ave more…more…than you though."可以判斷,該段講的是:沒有開始的時(shí)候,會(huì)覺得工作不可能完成.但是人們會(huì)估計(jì)錯(cuò)誤.做起來以后,就會(huì)覺得其實(shí)自己比想像的要強(qiáng)多了,自己完全能勝任的.結(jié)果就是一定能夠做成功,做得更好.
63.答案:E.根據(jù)下一句"If you leave your work…,you give up the possibility of…give advice,"以及"Unfortunately,though…so you'll be out of luck…"可以得知本句主題為:把事情放到最后一刻去做,將會(huì)放棄得到幫助的機(jī)會(huì).
64.答案:C.根據(jù)"No,not every waking moment,but at least some of the time."以及"your ideas are halfbaked"可知,該段主要講述"有時(shí)候想法和見解是需要時(shí)間去培養(yǎng)和發(fā)展的".
65.答案:A.根據(jù)本段第一句"If you put things off till the last minute…"和"…you don't allow yourself time for those…"可知,如果人們習(xí)慣于將事情推到最后一刻去做,將可能發(fā)現(xiàn)沒有預(yù)留出足夠的時(shí)間完成要做的各種事情.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 做此類題時(shí)應(yīng)先瀏覽所提供的選項(xiàng),利用這些信息激活與文章主題相關(guān)的背景知識(shí),同時(shí)根據(jù)所提供的選項(xiàng)去推測(cè)文章的內(nèi)容,預(yù)測(cè)所要概括段落的內(nèi)容.

12.While there is no widely accepted definition of MOOCs,their key features are open access:they are currently free to participants,no entry qualifications are required,they support an unlimited number of participants and as yet,very few include any form of accreditation (認(rèn)證).
Currently offered by some famous universities,MOOCs are attractive to people who do not have the financial resources to meet the growing costs of university education,or who do not have formal qualifications.They also allow participants to study at their own pace.
The potential for MOOCs to deliver education is obviously vast-they could be considered as a huge step forwards in widening participation.They also have the potential to provide a unique window on universities that offer popular and valuable courses,they may attract some participants to register for formal fee-paying programmes at the same or other universities and are likely to promote new ways of on-line education.
However,it is still very early days for MOOCs.The quality of the education provision is highly variable,with many courses offering only recordings of lectures,and delivery is particularly difficult in some special fields that require practical classes,research projects or extensive library access.Besides,wider engagement with participants requires very considerable resource.Even limited feedback or examination becomes a major task if there are several thousand students in the class.
Considering the challenges,some people argue MOOCs will soon evaporate (蒸發(fā)).But they certainly provide good opportunity for widening higher education,are a means of raising awareness of universities to audiences of tens or hundreds of thousands,and are well worthy of serious consideration.

19.In the mid-1950s,I was a somewhat bored early-adolescent male student who believed that doing any more than necessary was wasted effort.One day,this approach threw me into embarrassment
In Mrs.Totten's eighth-grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson,Indiana,we were learning to add and subtract decimals (小數(shù)).
Our teacher typically assigned daily homework,which would be recited in class the following day.On most days,our grades were based on our oral answer to homework questions.
Mrs.Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had apeared on our homework sheets.She would start either at the  front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end.
Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students,it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer.This particular time,I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations.
What I failed to expect was that several students were absent,which threw off my estimate.As Mrs.Totten made her way from the beginning of the class,I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get.I tried to work it out before she got to me,but I had brain freeze and couldn't function.
When Mrs.Totten reached my desk,she asked what answer I'd got for problem No.14."I…I didn't get anything,"I answered,and my face felt warm.
"Correct,"she said.
It turned out that the correct answer was zero.
What did I learn that day?First,always do all your homework.Second,in real life it isn't always what you say but how you say it that matters.Third,I would never make it as a mathematician.
If I could choose one school day that taught me the most,it would be that one.

61.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1indicateD?
A.It is wise to value one's time.
B.It is important to make an effort
C.It is right to stick to one's belief.
D.It is enough to do the necessary.
62.Usually,Mrs.Totten asked her students toC.
A.recite their homework together
B.grade their homework themselves
C.a(chǎn)nswer their homework questions orally
D.check the answers to their homework questions
63.The author could work out which questions to answer since the teacher alwaysA.
A.a(chǎn)sked questions in a regular way
B.walked up and down when asking questions
C.chose two or three questions for the students
D.requested her students to finish their usual questions
64.The author failed to get the questions he had expected becauseB.
A.the class didn't begin as usual
B.several students didn't come to school
C.he didn't try hard to make his estimate
D.Mrs.Totten didn't start from the back of the class
65,Which of the following can be the best title for the passageD?
A.An Unforgettable Teacher
B.A Future Mathematician
C.An Effective Approach
D.A Valuable Lesson.
