Last week, my younger brother visited me for five days. To ensure I could spend as much time with him as possible, I worked extra hard during the weekend before he arrived.
It amazed me how much I could accomplish when I had a strong motivation to be efficient.
During the week, I put in a couple of hours in the mornings to handle pressing issues and then spent the afternoons and evenings going out with him. Once again, I was surprised to realize just how much free time was available to me if I consciously chose to be more effective while working.
This made me think of Parkinson's Law: Work expands to fill the time available for its completion.
I realized then that I'd given myself more time than necessary for work, and as a result, I ended up spending a lot of time delaying needlessly and entertaining myself online.
How might things change for me, I wondered, if I chose to commit to more social and recreational activities, made them priorities and was motivated to finish work quicker
I realize not everyone has flexible work schedules, but I believe we could all create more time for ourselves if we were motivated to cut out the choices that don't match our strongest desires and intentions. Maybe it's being absent-minded in front of the TV or searching the web.
I believe what English musician John Lennon said is true: Time that you enjoyed wasting was not wasted.1 don't think there's anything wrong with using technology if we've consciously chosen to do it.
However, we owe it to ourselves to get out in the world and explore different possibilities—to be playful, curious, engaged and just to be.
Perhaps it would be easier to do that if we asked ourselves: How can I be more effective Can I minimize what I am currently doing How can I start using the time I've created in a way that will excite and inspire me

2.答案：energetic
解析：考查词形转换。句意:一旦你养成了早上锻炼的习惯,你就会感觉精力充沛,不再犯困。空处应填形容词作表语,故填energetic。
3.答案：psychological
解析：考查形容词。句意:过度疲劳不仅是种身体状况,而且它的心理效应会对你的工作和生活产生很大的影响。由空前的has以及空后的effects可知,空处应填形容词psychological,意为"心灵的;心理的;精神上的"。
4.答案：accidentally
解析：考查词形转换。句意:令这位中年男子吃惊的是,他在上班的路上意外地从河里救起了他失散已久的儿子。空处修饰动词saved,且结合句意可知,应填accidentally"偶然地,意外地"。
5.答案：routine
解析：考查名词。句意:他六点起床,跑半个小时,然后吃饭;那是他早上的例行公事。根据他早上起床,跑步和吃饭的时间安排,此处表示一种惯例,routine表示“惯例,常规”,符合句意,故填routine。

三、
答案：1-4 BCDC
解析：1.细节理解题。根据第二段“It amazed me how much I could accomplish when I had a strong motivation to be efficient.(当我有强烈的动力去提高效率的时候,我能完成多少事情让我感到惊讶)”以及第三段中“Once again, I was surprised to realize just how much free time was available to me if I consciously chose to be more effective while working.(我再一次惊讶地意识到,如果我有意识地选择在工作时更有效率,那我能有更多空闲时间)”可知,作者对于自己能在更短的时间内完成工作感到惊奇,故选B。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段中“Once again, I was surprised to realize just how much free time was available to me if I consciously chose to be more effective while working. (我再一次惊讶地意识到,如果我有意识地选择在工作时更有效率,那我能有更多空闲时间)”以及第四段“This made me think of Parkinson's Law: Work expands to fill the time available for its completion.(这让我想到了帕金森氏定律:工作的扩展是为了填满完成工作所需的时间)”可知,是作者工作效率的变化让她想到了帕金森定律。故选C。
3.细节理解题。根据倒数第四段中“I realize not everyone has flexible work schedules, but I believe we could all create more time for ourselves if we were motivated to cut out the choices that don't match our strongest desires and intentions.(我知道不是每个人都有灵活的工作时间,但我相信,如果我们有动力放弃那些不符合我们最强烈愿望和意图的选择,我们都可以为自己创造更多的时间)”可知,作者建议我们专注于最重要的任务,忽略不重要的事情,来为自己腾出更多的时间。故选D。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Perhaps it would be easier to do that if we asked ourselves: How can I be more effective Can I minimize what I am currently doing How can I start using the time I've created in a way that will excite and inspire me (也许,如果我们扪心自问:我怎样才能更有效率 我能把我正在做的事情最小化吗 我怎样开始利用我所创造的时间,让我感到兴奋和鼓舞 )”结合文中作者结合自身经历,意识到当自己强烈渴望提高效率时,往往可以在很短的时间内完成许多事情,从而引发了作者对于如何更有效地进行时间管理的反思。可推知,作者写这篇文章的主要目的是反思更好的时间管理。故选C。
四、
答案：①called ②sadness ③depending ④an/the ⑤has met ⑥earlier ⑦equipped ⑧with ⑨has
⑩where
解析：①考查非谓语动词。分析该句结构可知,动词call和其逻辑主语The robot之间为动宾关系,故用其过去分词做后置定语。句意:该机器人名叫Nadine,是由这所大学的一个研究团队开发的。
②考查名词。根据该句中的"anger and"可知,空处与名词"anger"并列,也应当用名词形式。
③考查非谓语动词。分析该句结构可知, 动词depend和其逻辑主语(前面的情况)之间为主谓关系,故用其现在分词形式。
④考查冠词。iPhone为以元音音素开头的单数可数名词,且该处可以表示泛指,也可以表示特指,故应填 an/ the。
⑤考查动词的时态。根据语境以及该句中的时间状语before可知,该句应用现在完成时。
⑥考查形容词的比较级。根据句意可知,该处指“更早的交谈”,故用形容词的比较级。
⑦考查被动语态。该句主语为robots,和动词equip之间为被动关系,故用被动语态。
⑧考查with复合结构。分析该句结构可知,此处为with复合结构,our population做宾语,现在分词短语 becoming older做宾语补足语。
⑨考查主谓一致和时态。该句主语为Nadine,为单数形式;根据该句中的Currently可知,该句陈述的是现在的情况,应用一般现在时。因此谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。
⑩考查定语从句。分析该句结构可知,空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为the university,在从句中做地点状语,故用where来引导该从句。
