27、选五【语篇解读】本文介绍了如何合理有效地利用时间。1答案与解析：B根据第1空后两句“Manypeopletrytomanagetheirtime.Theyarrangeinformationandtipsinordertoeffectivelydoso.”可知，许多人试图管理他们的时间，他们整理信息和建议为的是能有效地管理时间。根据后两句可反推第1空应是关于有效利用时间的好处，故选B项。2答案与解析：F根据第2空后一句“Timecanbemanagedeasilybyfindingoutwhatisimportantandarrangingthesethingsintheorderofimpo
28、rtance.”可知，管理好时间并不难，可以通过弄清什么是重要的并按重要性来安排这些事情来实现，即有目的地设定目标就能很容易地管理时间。故选F项。3答案与解析：D根据第3空后一句“Theansweristhat.”可知，第3空是个问题；该空后两句讲述了弄清楚你需要采取的步骤及你想做的事后，你就知道每件事要花多少时间了。根据后两句可反推第3空应是关于如何进行时间管理及需要哪类信息。故D项符合语境。4答案与解析：E根据第三段最后一句“Thesestepsarelikegoals.”及第4空后一句“Nothavingthemislikewalkingblindlyinadarkroom, tryingtofindthedoor.”可知，这些步骤就像目标，没有目标就像在黑暗的房间中行走，试图找到门。由此可推知第4空应是关于设定目标的。故E项符合语境。5答案与解析：A根据第5空后一句“Therearealotofthingsthatweneedtodoinashorttime.”可知，我们在很短的时间内要做很多事情，说明现在是快节奏的生活。故A项符合语境。
