2、s.That may be a bad thing,particularly at work.New research shows that clockbased work schedules hinder morale(士气)and creativity.Clocktimers organize their day by blocks of minutes and hours.For example:a meeting from 9 am.to 10 am.,research from 10 am.to noon,etc.On the other hand,tasktimers have a
3、 list of things they want to accomplish.They work down the list;each task starts when the previous task is completed.It is said that all of us employ a mix of both these types of planning.What,then,are the effects of thinking about time in these different ways?Does one make us more productive?Better

7、my:work organized by clock time.While most people will still probably need,and be,to some extent,clocktimers,taskbased timing should be used when they are performing a job that requires more creativity.Itll make those tasks easier,and the taskdoers will be happier.1What is the way people often do th

11、creative workCperforming creative jobs tends to make workers happierDa scientific standard should be adopted in job evaluation【解题导语】本文是一篇对时钟型和任务型两种工作方式的研究报告。【难句分析】While most people will still probably need,and be,to some extent,clocktimers,taskbased timing should be used when they are performing a j
12、ob that requires more creativity.分析:本句中While引导让步状语从句,意思是“虽然”,相当于although;when they are performing a job是when引导的时间状语从句;that requires more creativity是一个定语从句,先行词是a job。译文:虽然大多数人仍然很可能在某种程度上需要或者成为时钟计时型的人,但是他们在做需要更多创造力的工作时还是应当使用任务型的时间安排。1C考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“It is said that all of us employ a mix of both these
13、 types of planning”可知,人们采用了这两种方式的复合型工作方式,因此选项C“他们把时钟型和任务型的计划结合起来”是正确的。选项A、B和D的信息在文中无处可寻,所以都是错误的。give priority to.意为“给以优先考虑”;on hand意为“在手边”;set a time limit for.意为“给设定时限”。2A考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“They found clocktimers to be more efficient but less happy because they felt little control over their lives.Task
14、timers are happier and more creative,but less productive”可知,采用时钟计时型工作方式的人效率更高,采用任务计时型工作方式的人更开心,但是效率较低。所以选A。3D考查推理判断。根据第五段首句“The researchers argue that taskbased organizing tends to be undervalued and undersupported in business culture”可知,研究人员认为任务型的工作方式在商业文化中往往被低估并且缺乏支持。故选项D“它(商业文化)没有充分强调任务型的实践”正确。4B
15、考查推理判断。根据末段中的“taskbased timing should be used when they are performing a job that requires more creativity”可知,在做需要更多创造力的工作时还是应当使用任务型的工作方式。故选B项。根据第四段中的“Tasktimers are happier and more creative, but less productive”和末段的末句“Itll make those tasks easier, and the taskdoers will be happier”可知,文中讲述的是采用任务计时型
16、工作方式的人更开心,且更有创造力,但并不意味着做有创造力的工作会让人们更开心,所以选项C是错误的;选项A和D的内容在文中没有提及,是主观臆断,因此也是错误的。B(2018长春市质量监测一)Lately a popular bookstore in Hefei,Anhui Province,has risen_to_fame because it becomes the worlds first shared bookstore,in a move meant to encourage more reading among Chinese citizens.It comes to peoples

24、nd members can be rewarded with one yuan for every book read.分析:本句中who finish reading 12 books in three months为定语从句,修饰先行词People,关系代词who在定语从句中作主语,指人。译文:在三个月内读完12本书的人可以得到百分之八的押金,并且会员每读完一本书可以得到一元钱的奖励。5C考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“it becomes the worlds first shared bookstore, in a move meant to encourage more readin
25、g”可知,这个书店成为一家共享书店是为了更好地推广阅读。故选C项。6A考查词义猜测。根据第一段中的“popular”一词,以及第二段中的“more than 200,000 visitors flooded the store on its first day as a shared bookstore on July 16 this year,a record high since it was reopened to the public”可知,这家书店应该很受欢迎。rise to fame意为“出名”。故选A项。7D考查推理判断。根据第五段中的“We want to bring down
26、 the cost of reading so people could read more books”可推知,共享图书可能会降低阅读成本,这样人们可以阅读更多书。故选D项。B项错在“cant be borrowed”,这与文中的“Customers are allowed to borrow”和“All books on sale in the bookstore are available for sharing”不符。文章提到这家书店于2013年重新对公众开放,今年7月16日成了一家共享书店并有约4000本书被读者带回家,故C项错误。8C考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“and membe
27、rs can be rewarded with one yuan for every book read”可知,共享书店的会员每读一本书可以得到一元钱的奖励。故选C项。文章中提到有些家长为孩子买了很多书,但并没有提到书店鼓励家长为孩子多买书,A项错误;B项错在unconditionally ,与文中的“Customers are allowed to borrow up to two books valued at under 150 yuan per visit after registering with an app and paying the 99 yuan deposit(钾金)”
28、不符;文章提到共享书店的会员每读一本书可以得到一元钱的奖励,并不是每一位爱好读书的人都能得到奖励,故D项错误。C(2018山东省实验中学高三第一次模拟考试)After one of his close family friends known for her generosity died of cancer in 2013,26yearold Luke Cameron decided to do at least one good deed a day,for 365 days,and he has not missed yet.The Gloucester resident perform
