Question

What time is it？Most people are pretty accurate in their answer. And if you don’t know for sure, it’s very likely that you can find out. There may be a watch on your wrist; there may be a clock on the wall, desk, or computer screen; or maybe you’re riding in a car that has a clock in the dashboard .

Even if you don’t have a timepiece of some sort nearby, your body keeps its own beat. Humans have an internal clock that regulates (調(diào)節(jié)) the beating of our heart, the peace of our breathing, the discharge (排出) of chemicals within our bloodstream, and many other bodily functions.

Time is something from which we can’t escape. Even if we ignore it, it’s still going by, ticking away, second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour. So the main issue in using your time well is, “who’s in charge？” We can allow time to slip by and let it be our enemy. Or we can take control of it and make it our ally.

     By taking control of how you spend your time, you'll increase your chances of becoming a more 

successful student. Perhaps more importantly, the better you are at managing the time you devote to your 

studies, the more time you'll have to spend on your outside interests. 

     The aim of time management is not to schedule every moment so we become slaves of a timetable that 

governs every waking moment of the day. Instead, the aim is to make informed choices as to how we use 

our time. Rather than letting the day go by, largely without our awareness, what we are going to discuss 

next can make us better able to control time for our own purposes.

1.The underlined word “ally” in Para.3 most likely means somebody or something that is ________.

A. your slave and serves you

B. your supporter an helps you

C. under your control and obeys you

D. under your influence and follows you

2.The author intends to tell us that time ________.

A. could be regulated by a timepiece such as a clock or a watch

B. could be managed by the internal clock by human bodies

C. should be well managed for our own interest

D. should be saved for outside interests

3.In the next part, the author would most probably discuss with you ________.

A. how to keep up with the times        B. how to make up for lost time

C. how to have a good time             D. how to make good use of time

試題分析：本文講的是時(shí)間無(wú)處不在。即使我們忽視它，它照樣流逝著，我們無(wú)法逃避這一切。那么我們只能好好的利用時(shí)間。通過(guò)好好利用時(shí)間，我們可以成為一個(gè)更成功的學(xué)生，更重要的是，我們不僅可以學(xué)習(xí)好，還有更多的時(shí)間花在課外興趣上。管理好時(shí)間的目的，不是為了制定一個(gè)時(shí)間表來(lái)讓我們成為時(shí)間的奴隸，而是讓我們掌控時(shí)間，利用好它來(lái)實(shí)現(xiàn)我們的目標(biāo)。

1.詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)前面一個(gè)句子中l(wèi)et it be our enemy讓它成為我們的朋友和make it our ally對(duì)比，和enemy對(duì)應(yīng)的意思就是friend。故選B。

2.推理判斷題。由第二段可以推斷出作者想告訴我們?nèi)梭w內(nèi)的生物鐘可以調(diào)節(jié)時(shí)間。

3.推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一句：what we are going to discuss next can make us better able to control time我們接下來(lái)要討論的是可以讓我們更好地掌握時(shí)間，可以推斷下一段作者將討論人們?nèi)绾纬浞掷�用時(shí)間。故選D。
