三、根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Beat the Procrastination Habit
I am a procrastinator (拖延症患者). I always have been. I've tried all sorts of things to beat the habit. Here are some techniques I've been using.
Set aside blocks of time to do things.
When I was talking with my wellness(健康) coach earlier this year, she asked me why I didn't exercise more often. "①________" I said. "Something always comes up." She wasn't impressed. "J.D.," she said, "you have to make time. Make an appointment with yourself to run or to go for a bike ride." The same principle applies to other things you might procrastinate.
②________.
Often I'll be sitting on the back porch reading a book, and it will occur to me that some chores need to be done, mending the fence, for example. "③________," I tell myself. Wrong! What usually happens is that I forget to write it down, and even if I do, I just look at the list and procrastinate for weeks on end. The best move is to actually do the chore when I think of it. (Assuming, of course, that I have the time at that moment, which I usually do.)
Use a timer to bring you back to reality.
Part of the reason why I procrastinate is that I'm a daydreamer. ④________. One way to keep on track is to use a timer. I use the Ultrak Jumbo Countdown Timer, but not as often as I should. I set it for 48 minutes. When it goes off, ⑤________: Am I doing what I'm supposed to be doing
Do not multitask.
I often start many things at once, but I never actually do any of them. In order for me to get something done, I need to focus my attention on it.
Trying to do several things at once is a sure way to be sure they'll all be unfinished tomorrow.
A. I'm always lost in thought
B. it brings me back to reality
C. If it comes to mind, then do it
D. I don't have the time
E. it serves as an instant reality check
F. Do it right away if you are asked to do something
G. I need to write that down so I can remember it
四、语法填空

三、答案:DCGAE
解析: 作者结合切身经历,给出了应对拖延症的几个合理建议。
①考查上下文语境关系。根据上文的"she asked me why I didn't exercise more often"可知,健身教练问“我”为什么不多经常锻炼,此处是答语,故D项符合语境。
②考查段落主旨。根据最后的结论The best move is to actually do the chore when I think of it.可知,最好的办法就是想到就做,由此可知,本段讲的是想到了什么事情就要马上去做,故C项符合语境。
③考查逻辑关系。根据空后内容可知,通常情况是忘记写下来,即使是写下来,也只是看看清单,拖延几个星期,故G项(我需要把它写下来,这样我就能记住了)符合语境。
④考查上下文逻辑关系。根据空前“我”拖延的部分原因是“我”喜欢做白日梦,此处承接上文,故A项符合语境。
⑤考查逻辑关系。根据"Am I doing what I'm supposed to be doing "可知,定时器可以让我们检查自己:“我”做“我”该做的事了吗 故E项符合语境。
