51、ou have difficulty finishing work on time，communicate.GSo if something takes longer than expected，you can still wrap the work up and submit it on time.语篇导读本文就如何克服拖延的习惯提出了三点建议。1E过渡句。空前信息“failing to meet deadlines can easily get you fired”表明，在工作中，不能按时完成工作可能使你很容易被解雇，空后提到“这里有一些很好的建议”。由此判断，设空处的前后是转折关系，故E
52、项信息“But handled properly.”符合题意。2C细节句。由本段标题“Assign deadlines to what matters.”可知，本段建议要给重要的事情设定最后期限。空后谈到“这将提供足够的压力来确保你能完成它”，由此推断C项“But if an activity is urgent，set a deadline immediatdly.”符合题意。3A主旨句。根据本段信息“Set a personal deadline for yourself a day or two before the actual deadline.”可知，本段建议要留出一些时间，故A项
53、“Plan for flexible hours.”符合本段主旨。4G细节句。根据空前信息可知，为自己制订一个比最后期限提前一天或两天的期限。G项“So if something takes longer than expected.”符合语境。5F细节句。由空后信息“This means letting others know.”可知，就是要和他人交流沟通。由此判断，F项信息与之匹配。解题关键词：communicate。.语法填空The history of Chinese poetry dates back almost 2,700 years _1_the Spring and Autu

57、ype of poetry，calligraphy art hanging in peoples homes.语篇导读本文是一篇说明文，讲述了中国诗歌的发展历史。1to考查介词。根据句意可知，中国诗歌的历史可以追溯到2 700年前的春秋时期(公元前770前476年)。该句中的date back to.是固定短语，表示“追溯到，从就开始有”。2because/since/as考查状语从句。因为秦始皇毁掉了所有可以找到的书，所以在那之前记录很少。根据语境可知，此处应用because/since/as引导原因状语从句。3be located考查时态。在该句中locate表示“查明，找到”，在that
58、引导的定语从句中，that与locate之间为被动关系，因此用be located。4changed考查时态。根据句意可知，唐朝前的几个世纪间，中国诗歌的风格、习惯、规则逐渐发生了变化。这是在描述过去发生的事情，故用一般过去时。5productive考查形容词。空处位于名词poets之前，修饰人，因此用形容词，再结合语境可知，此处应用productive表示“多产的”。6highly考查副词。分析句子结构可知，空处修饰谓语动词regarded，因此用副词。high 和highly都可作副词，前者表示具体意义的“在高处，向高处”；后者表示抽象意义的“钦佩地，赞赏地；很，非常”。根据语境可知，此处用副词highly。7painters考查名词。根据下文的“calligraphers”可以推断，此处指“画家”，故用painters。8the考查冠词。for the purpose of doing sth.是固定搭配，意为“为了”。9meaning考查名词。根据空前的“deeper”和空后的“more elegance”可知此处用名词meaning，表示“意义”。10to find考查非谓语动词。本句是“It is形容词to do sth.”句型，其中It 是形式主语，不定式是真正的主语。故填to find。
