Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文內容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

Today our life and work rarely feel light or pleasant. Instead, the whole experience of being alive begins to melt into one enormous obligation(責任). 【1】

We say this to one another with great pride. 【2】 We are unavailable to our friends and family, unable to find time for the sunset, to finish off our obligations without time for a single mindful breath. This seems to have become the model of a successful life.

Because we do not rest, we lose our way. We lose the relaxation that gives us help. 【3】 Poisoned by the belief that good things come only through tireless effort, we never truly rest. This is not the world we dreamed of when we were young. But how did we get so terribly rushed in a world filled with work and responsibility, yet it lacks joy and delight?

【4】 Sunday is the time to enjoy and celebrate what is beautiful and good, time to sing songs, give thanks, and walk. It is time to be refreshed as we stop our work, our chores and our important projects.

Sunday is more than the absence of work. Many of us, in our desperate drive to be successful and care for our many responsibilities, feel terrible guilty when we take time to rest. 【5】 Many of us still recall when, not long ago, shops and offices were closed on Sundays. Those quiet Sunday afternoons are deep in our cultural memory.

A. We also miss the quiet that gives us wisdom.

B. All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.

C. It becomes the standard greeting everywhere, “I am so busy.”

D. We work through day and night, feeling rather exhausted.

E. But the Sunday has proven its wisdom over the ages.

F. The reason is simple: we have forgotten the Sunday.

G. The busier we are, the more important we seem to ourselves and, we imagine, to others.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】G

【3】A

【4】F

【5】E

【解析】

試題分析：

【1】C前句提到如今人們的生活缺少了輕松和樂趣，而背負的責任增加，由此判斷C選項能承接上文，選C。

【2】G 根據(jù)后句We are unavailable to our friends and family,可以判斷前句是講述人們的忙碌，而G選項內容也是講述人們的忙碌的，內容符合語境，故選G。

【3】A前句內容提到因為忙碌我們失去了放松的時刻，而A選項內容也是人們對過去的懷念，信息提示詞also，由此判斷A選項符合語境。

【4】F后句是關于Sunday的內容，而F選項也提到了Sunday，認為人們生活中缺少了歡樂的原因是忘掉了在周日的放松，內容可以起到上下文的過渡作用，故選F。

【5】E本段內容是關于周日在人們生活中不可或缺的作用。上句講述在責任和壓力下人們感覺休息放松會讓人內疚，而后句是有關周日在記憶中給人們帶來的輕松愉悅的作用，由此判斷E選項內容可以承接上下文，選E。
