(一)
How to be more productive
Getting things done isn’t working all day at 100 miles an hour. 1 . And the following tips can definitely help you.
2
Smaller tasks like answering emails are “shallow work”. Try to be more conscious of what your shallow tasks are, and give yourself permission to block them out for a while so you can focus on the important tasks that require “deep work”.
Call it a day
For good productivity, be strict about when your working day is over, and when you get to the end of your planned work session, ease yourself into a more relaxed state. Look through your unfinished work. 3 . Then close that textbook or laptop and say something out loud like “Shutdown complete!” After that Have some fun. Give your mind the rest it’s earned.
Find your top level goal
4 . Find the big thing that we could call your life’s purpose, like inspiring others, or helping people in society. Put that at the top. On the next level you’ll have mid-level goals like passing an exam. The goals below-it-should all feed into your top-level. They’ll be smaller, more practical things — perhaps writing an email, or doing some research. If they don’t help with achieving your top goal, then get rid of them!
Make your breaks smarter
Time-management master Francesco Cirillo says that for every 25 minutes of intense concentration, you should take five off to do nothing at all, which gives the brain time to recover and keeps your productivity high. 5 . Move around, stare out of a window.
A.Shut out the shallow
B.Make out the shallow
C.Find some pictures of kittens and puppies first
D.Organise your priorities by making a pyramid of goals
E.In the five-minute breaks, don’t jump on your phone
F.Write a short plan of how you’ll tackle it tomorrow
G.Looking for ways to do less and get more done actually makes more sense
【答案】1.G 2.A 3.F 4.D 5.E
【导语】本文是说明文。主要介绍了关于如何提高工作效率的实用建议和方法。
1.根据前文“Getting things done isn’t working all day at 100 miles an hour. (把事情做好不是整天以每小时100英里的速度工作。)”以及后文“And the following tips can definitely help you. (下面的建议绝对能帮到你。)”可知,G项“Looking for ways to do less and get more done actually makes more sense (寻找少费力,多做事的方法实际上更有意义)”承接上文,并引出本段主题,符合文意。故选G项。
2.分析设空,为本段小标题,根据后文“Smaller tasks like answering emails are “shallow work”. Try to be more conscious of what your shallow tasks are, and give yourself permission to block them out for a while so you can focus on the important tasks that require “deep work”. (像回复邮件这样的小任务是“肤浅的工作”。试着更加意识到你的肤浅任务是什么,并允许自己暂时把它们放在一边,这样你就可以专注于需要“深度工作”的重要任务。)”可知,本段主要讲述了把肤浅任务放在一边,所以A项“Shut out the shallow (把肤浅的事拒之门外)”为本段小标题。故选A项。
3.根据前文“For good productivity, be strict about when your working day is over, and when you get to the end of your planned work session, ease yourself into a more relaxed state. Look through your unfinished work. (为了提高效率,严格规定一天的工作时间,当你完成计划的工作时,让自己进入一个更放松的状态。检查一下你未完成的工作。)”可知,还有未完成的工作,再根据后文“Then close that textbook or laptop and say something out loud like “Shutdown complete!” After that Have some fun. Give your mind the rest it’s earned. (然后合上课本或笔记本电脑,大声说“关机完成!”之后呢 玩得开心点。让你的头脑得到应得的休息。)”可知,后文讲述开始休息,所以空处应是对未完成工作的安排,F项“Write a short plan of how you’ll tackle it tomorrow (写一份关于你明天如何处理它的简短计划)”符合文意,承接上文,引出下文。故选F项。
4.分析设空,位于段首,是本段中心句,根据本段小标题“Find your top level goal (找到你的最高目标)”以及后文“Find the big thing that we could call your life’s purpose, like inspiring others, or helping people in society. Put that at the top. On the next level you’ll have mid-level goals like passing an exam. The goals below-it-should all feed into your top-level. They’ll be smaller, more practical things—perhaps writing an email, or doing some research. If they don’t help with achieving your top goal, then get rid of them! (找到我们可以称之为人生目标的大事,比如激励他人,或者帮助社会上的人。把它放在最上面。在下一个阶段,你会有中等水平的目标,比如通过考试。下面的目标都应该进入你的顶层。它们将是更小、更实际的事情——可能是写一封电子邮件,或者做一些研究。如果它们不能帮助你实现最高目标,那就把它们扔掉!)”可知,本段主要讲述设立目标,并且按照优先级去排列,所以D项“Organise your priorities by making a pyramid of goals (通过建立一个金字塔的目标来组织你的优先级)”符合本段主题。故选D项。
5.根据前文“Time-management master Francesco Cirillo says that for every 25 minutes of intense concentration, you should take five off to do nothing at all, which gives the brain time to recover and keeps your productivity high. (时间管理大师弗朗西斯科·西里洛说,每集中注意力25分钟,你就应该休息5分钟,什么都不做,这给了大脑恢复的时间,让你保持高效率。)”可知,E项“In the five-minute breaks, don’t jump on your phone (在五分钟的休息时间里,不要玩手机)”符合本段主题,讲述休息的5分钟要注意的事。故选E项。

Whenever you pick up an apple and prepare to eat it, you may notice a small sticker attached to the fruit with a row of four or five numbers on it.That string of numbers is something called a Price Look-Up (PLU) code. 21 It’s designed to help supermarkets get to know their inventory (库存) of fruits and vegetables, and to make it easy for checkout clerks to know what to charge for a particular item. Thus, you can get through the line and out of the door more quickly.
From the code, you can also know what specific variety of a particular fruit or vegetable you’re going to enjoy — whether it’s a Honeycrisp apple or a Shamouti orange. And it may tell you the size of the fruit or vegetable. 22 You may know whether it was grown conventionally (常规地) or on an organic farm.
A volunteer committee developed PLUs in 1988. One important reason why PLUs were invented was to enable supermarkets to tell the difference between conventionally grown fruits and vegetables and higher-priced organic food. As organic produce was being introduced then, cashiers often wrongly sold it at the conventional price. 23 There are now more than 1,500 different PLUs in use around the globe. 24 Just type in the code from a sticker on a piece of fruit, and it will tell you that 3114, for example, refers to an extra large green mango,belonging to the Keitt or Francis varieties of that fruit.
25 The produce industry has been trying to develop biodegradable (可生物降解的) PLUstickers, but it’s difficult to do that. Eventually, PLUstickers may be replaced altogether by lasers that mark the codes on fruits and vegetables.
A.The function is fairly simple.
B.PLU codes have a long history.
C.You probably think organic food is healthier.
D.The appearance of PLUs helped solve this problem.
E.Besides, it shows where the fruit or vegetable comes from.
F.The future of fruit and vegetable stickers is still uncertain.
G.You can use the PLU search app to know what a particular one means.
【答案】21.A 22.E 23.D 24.G 25.F
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了水果蔬菜上面贴的PLU(价格查询代码)的用途,由来以及随着技术的发展,它可能会被标记水果和蔬菜代码的激光所代替。
21.下文“It’s designed to help supermarkets get to know their inventory (库存) of fruits and vegetables, and to make it easy for checkout clerks to know what to charge for a particular item.(它旨在帮助超市了解他们的水果和蔬菜库存,并让收银员更容易知道特定商品的收费)”说明发明PLU代码的目的以及用途。空处引出下文,说明PLU代码的功能其实非常的简单,就是让超市了解水果蔬菜的库存以及让收银员知道特定商品的价格。A项“功能相当简单。”符合语境。故选A。
22.上文“And it may tell you the size of the fruit or vegetable.(它可能会告诉你水果或蔬菜的大小)”说明从PLU标签中可知知道水果或蔬菜的大小。空处和前文为递进关系,同时说明能够从PLU代码获取什么信息。E项中的it指代前文中的code,说明除了知道水果或蔬菜的大小之外,它还可以让人们知道蔬菜或水果来自哪里。E选项“此外,它还显示了水果或蔬菜的来源。”符合语境。故选E。
23.上文“As organic produce was being introduced then, cashiers often wrongly sold it at the conventional price.(由于当时引入了有机农产品,收银员经常错误地以传统价格出售)”说明收银员经常错误将有机农产品以传统产品的价格出售。空处给出解决此问题的办法。D项中的“this problem”指代前文中的“cashiers often wrongly sold it at the conventional price”,说明D项“PLU的出现帮助解决了这个问题”符合语境。故选D。
24.下文“Just type in the code from a sticker on a piece of fruit, and it will tell you that 3114, for example, refers to an extra large green mango,belonging to the Keitt or Francis varieties of that fruit.(例如,只要输入水果贴纸上的代码,它就会告诉你,3114指的是一个超大的绿色芒果,属于该水果的Keitt或Francis品种)”说明输入水果贴纸上的代码会获得什么样的信息。空处承上启下。G项中的“what a particular one means”和上文中的“more than 1,500 different PLUs in use”相呼应,“the PLU search app”和下文中的“type in the code”相呼应,说明G项“您可以使用PLU搜索应用程序来了解特定代码的含义”符合语境。故选G。
25.下文“The produce industry has been trying to develop biodegradable (可生物降解的) PLUstickers, but it’s difficult to do that. Eventually, PLUstickers may be replaced altogether by lasers that mark the codes on fruits and vegetables.(农产品行业一直在努力开发可生物降解的PLU贴纸,但很难做到这一点。最终,PLU标签可能会被标记水果和蔬菜代码的激光完全取代)”说明PUL代码在未来可能会被标记水果和蔬菜代码的激光完全取代。F项“水果和蔬菜贴纸的未来仍不确定。”适合作本段的主旨句,统领本段。故选F。突破05 阅读理解之七选五题

Whenever you pick up an apple and prepare to eat it, you may notice a small sticker attached to the fruit with a row of four or five numbers on it.That string of numbers is something called a Price Look-Up (PLU) code. 21 It’s designed to help supermarkets get to know their inventory (库存) of fruits and vegetables, and to make it easy for checkout clerks to know what to charge for a particular item. Thus, you can get through the line and out of the door more quickly.
From the code, you can also know what specific variety of a particular fruit or vegetable you’re going to enjoy — whether it’s a Honeycrisp apple or a Shamouti orange. And it may tell you the size of the fruit or vegetable. 22 You may know whether it was grown conventionally (常规地) or on an organic farm.
A volunteer committee developed PLUs in 1988. One important reason why PLUs were invented was to enable supermarkets to tell the difference between conventionally grown fruits and vegetables and higher-priced organic food. As organic produce was being introduced then, cashiers often wrongly sold it at the conventional price. 23 There are now more than 1,500 different PLUs in use around the globe. 24 Just type in the code from a sticker on a piece of fruit, and it will tell you that 3114, for example, refers to an extra large green mango,belonging to the Keitt or Francis varieties of that fruit.

B.PLU codes have a long history.
C.You probably think organic food is healthier.
D.The appearance of PLUs helped solve this problem.
E.Besides, it shows where the fruit or vegetable comes from.
