‎2019届高考英语一轮复习限时阅读训练33‎ ‎ (A)‎ Every day has just 24 hours—and this applies to all people. Some people are constantly pushed for time. This article is about how we can learn to manage our valuable time more effectively. ‎ In reality we cannot manage time. We can only manage ourselves and our relationship with time. 1 And habits are not that easy to change. ‎ Below here are tips that can help you manage your time better. ‎ Organize your goals. ‎ Organize your goals based on two criteria: degree of urgency and importance: a. Should be done today, tomorrow, etc. b. Should be done at “that date”. c. Can be put off for so many days. d. Can ask someone else to do it. 2 ‎ Clean up your list. ‎ Make a list of everything you think that is not helping or benefiting you and do not do them! ‎ Focus on one goal. ‎ Concentrate only on one goal at a time. Otherwise, if while dealing with something you think about everything you can do later, most likely you will get bored and disappointed. 3 The boredom（厌倦）is guaranteed with this way of thinking. ‎ Identify your deadlines. ‎ ‎4 ‎ Divide the activities per day/week and long-term goals to get a clear picture of what you have to do and when. ‎ Find suitable work environment. ‎ ‎5 ‎ Be realistic. ‎ Make sure that your goals are realistic and do not try for the impossible. ‎ Say “NO”. ‎ Learn to say “no” to other activities, requests and people who eat your time (unless indeed at that very moment it is necessary for you to help them). ‎ A. Allow time to adjust your list if necessary. ‎ B. After all, how we use our time is largely a matter of habit. ‎ C. Create a suitable environment to work, one that fits your style. ‎ D. Check the list of what you should do and when it must be completed. ‎ E. After organizing your goals, start with the most important and urgent. ‎ F. It is like every time you eat you think all the meals you must eat in your life. ‎ G. Do not let boredom discourage you if what you have to complete is boring. ‎ ‎(B)‎ ‎6 Many things can become distractions (分散注意力的事). Your ability to focus your mind, emotions and physical movements will directly influence your success. Staying focused on the task at hand can be easier said than done. Here are some powerful techniques that can help you improve your ability to focus. ‎ For physical control, it helps to have a constant exercise schedule. 7 Exercising helps you gain better command of your body, and even goes beyond the body, giving you more flexibility not just physically but also emotionally and mentally. When you feel more comfortable in your body, you increase your self-confidence, which helps you feel more relaxed. ‎ For mental control, meditation (沉思；冥想) does the task. 8 It’s easy to get distracted by things in your background, but in order to perform well you have to maintain a high degree of focus. When you relax your thoughts it trains your mind to deal effectively with outside distractions so you can stay centered on what matters most at the moment. ‎ ‎9 It prevents you from overreaction and also from overacting. When your emotions settle down, you gain greater awareness of the environment you’re in, and feel calm and in control. ‎ ‎10 The good thing is that self-control can be developed. Start exercising frequently, get yourself into meditation, and start to feel positive changes in your career and your life in general. ‎ A. In short, focus requires self-control. ‎ B. There are many benefits of exercising. ‎ C. Generally speaking, you need to practise a lot. ‎ D. There are still some disadvantages of exercise. ‎ E. Your emotions are well served by meditation as well. ‎ F. Focus is an important part of success and achievement in general. ‎ G. It helps block out all the noise and activities that are going on around you. ‎ 答案解析 A ‎【文章大意】本文就怎样更加有效地利用时间提出了一些建议。‎ ‎1.【解析】选B。根据下一句的提示词habits可知此处选B项。‎ ‎2.【解析】选E。根据前面的“Organize your goals. . . ”可知此处选E项。‎ ‎3.【解析】选F。此处是上面所说要点的举例，所以选F项。‎ ‎4.【解析】选D。根据后面的解释“Divide the activities per day/week and. . . ”可知此处选D项。‎ ‎5.【解析】选C。从上面的“Find suitable work environment. ”可知此题选C项，均涉及工作环境问题。‎ B ‎ 【文章大意】本文提出了如何集中注意力的方法。‎ ‎6.【解析】选F。根据下文有很多事情能分散你的注意力及集中注意力能使你成功可知, 此处选F项。‎ ‎7.【解析】选B。根据前后文的关键词exercise可知, 此处选B项。‎ ‎8.【解析】选C。根据下文很容易分散注意力可知, 此处选C项，为了保持好需要进行大量的练习。‎ ‎9.【解析】选E。根据下文你的情绪稳定下来之后可知，本段叙述的是与emotions有关的信息，故选E项。‎ ‎10.【解析】选A。主旨归纳题。前文提到了几种办法，本段对此归纳总结，故选Ａ项。‎
