12、ains our nerves when we try to get things done perfectly, 而非 it 直接 urges us to get things done punctually; 选项 D 要看清 , 原文是 a different conception of time而非 a perfect concept of time. 2.C)more emphasis on efficiency对应原文第二段第一句The pace of modern industrial life forbids this kind of glorious and magnific

A 选项有被直接提及 , B 选项 reluctant是不愿的意思 , 而本文并非讨论愿不愿的问题, D 选项being punctual is an undesirable habit which should not be formed, 黑体部分分别为守时和不良习惯的意思 , 显然不是作者本意 . 总结一下 , 今天这期比昨天讲小猫小狗的阅读要难一些- -, 是一篇既要求词汇量 , 同时又要求答题技巧的典型的阅读理解.

17、所谓答题技巧, 就是首先要读懂文章的大概意思, 然后注意一些关键句子 . 关键句子很有可能出现在段落的连接部分, 比如开头和结尾 . 一般情况下 , 阅读理解的前面几道题是可以从原文的关键句子中直接找出答案的 , 而后面几道题 , 往往要求综合全文来分析. 最近几天的阅读, 大体分为两种 : 一种是偏向主观论述的阅读, 比如倒数 55 天的癌症、倒数53 天的空调和今天的效率 ; 另一种是偏向客观叙述的阅读, 比如倒数 52 天的家养宠物和倒数54 天的无家可归的儿童 . 前者往往要着重考虑作者的中心思想, 后者往往要着重考虑作者的整体内容. 名师资料总结 - - -精品资料欢迎下载 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 名师精心整理 - - - - - - - 第 5 页，共 5 页 - - - - - - - - -
