Question

【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

You already know that you should wake up early to become more productive, and perhaps you have also heard that you shouldn’t check your email first in the morning. While this advice is good and well-documented, there is also another kind of productivity advice that is as effective as well. 【1】

1. Work when there is a distraction(分心) around

Your environment doesn’t have to be 100% quiet if you want to get work done. Let’s say that you are working from home and you have kids. Let’s also assume that you don’t have a quiet workspace in your home to do your work. Naturally, you could decide to do work during the quiet hours. 【2】 .

2. Drink coffee before taking a nap

【3】 Then take a caffeine nap. Combining coffee and napping time can have a big improvement in one’s personal productivity. Drink a cup of coffee, take a 20-minute nap right afterward and wake-up refreshed.

3. 【4】

It’s so funny to think that the places that seem like the last ones in which to get anything done are the best for productivity. I’m talking about trains and when I travel alone, I look forward to getting work done there. In fact, I have done a lot of work during my trips when I’m moving from one place to another.

4. Close the curtains

Closing the curtains can improve your productivity. I might do some work at the dining table where there is a window to the left of me. Since I can see the nearby parking space through the window (and the people and moving cars as well), the movement might catch my attention, so the simplest way to prevent the distraction is to close the curtains.【5】

A. Work in a train.

B. Focus on one thing at a time.

C. Have a mobile Internet access with you.

D. But not all of the tasks have to be done then.

E. Try these tips and see how they work for you.

F. Want to improve your afternoon productivity?

G. That way I can put all of my attention to my work.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】E

【2】D

【3】F

【4】A

【5】G

【解析】

【1】E 考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：除了早起外还有别的方法可以让人提高效率。所以这里选E（试试这些方法看看是否有效 ）。

【2】D考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：你可以现在安静的时候工作，但是这些时间不一定能完成工作，所以这里选D与上下文一致。

【3】F考查对上下文语境的理解。空后的意思是： 然后喝一杯咖啡，再小睡。所以这里选F（ 想要下午工作有效率吗？）与上下文一致。

【4】A考查对段落的理解。本段的意思是：在旅途中工作。所以这里选A（在火车上工作 。）符合段意。

【5】G考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：避免分心的最简单的方法就是关掉窗帘。所以这里选G（ 这样就可以集中精力工作了。）与上下文一致。
