Question

【題目】 Do you have the similar experiences? Your parents often feel stressed and sometimes have difficulty controlling their temper (脾氣); you study 7 days a week and find it difficult to make progress no matter how hard you try. Life always seems to be tiring.

Is there any way out of the tiring life? Believe it or not, the solution is you may need time for your hobbies. Research has shown that people who have hobbies are generally healthier, and feel much happier. Having a hobby may be even more important to people who lead very full and busy lives.

Many people say a sport as a hobby keeps them fitter, helps them manage their anger, and puts them in a much better mood. As a result, this influences their quality (質(zhì)量) of life, work and family time Hobbies provide us with a chance to get social. Getting social can make us feel more supported. Hobbies can also bring pleasure. Think about the simple joy you get from travelling to new places. Further, hobbies may actually improve our work performance as they improve our decision-making skills, creativity and confidence.

What if you are too busy to have a hobby? Finding the time for your hobby is really important. You may have to give up watching TV, force yourself to turn off the computer, or even let your homework wait for a while. Make your hobby a priority (優(yōu)先). Set a goal and get a friend to help you stay with a hobby.

“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” is a famous saying. This may be quite true, so make sure you find time for yourself to relax. Pick up a hobby — especially if you are depressed (沮喪的), stressed or going through a tough (艱難的) time. You will thank yourself for it, and so will your family and co-workers.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】B

【2】B

【3】D

【解析】

本文介紹了當(dāng)你的父母感到有壓力；你很難取得進(jìn)步的時(shí)候，生活似乎總是很累。解決方法是你可能需要時(shí)間來滿足你的愛好。有愛好的人通常更健康，更快樂。對(duì)于那些過著充實(shí)而忙碌的生活的人來說，有一個(gè)愛好可能更重要。這可能是真的，所以一定要有時(shí)間讓自己放松。養(yǎng)成一種愛好-尤其是當(dāng)你情緒低落、壓力很大或經(jīng)歷了一段艱難的時(shí)期時(shí)。你會(huì)為此感謝自己，你的家人和同事也會(huì)感謝你。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。通過題干的“the solution to the tiring life is that”可以回原文定位到第二段第二句話“Believe it or not, the solution is you may need time for your hobbies.”，譯為“無論相信與否，解決方法是你可能需要給愛好一些時(shí)間”。選項(xiàng)A譯為“我們需要花時(shí)間和朋友一起”；選項(xiàng)B譯為“我們應(yīng)該給愛好一些時(shí)間。”；選項(xiàng)C譯為“我們應(yīng)該去新的地方旅行。”；選項(xiàng)D譯為“我們需要控制我們的脾氣。”故正確答案為選項(xiàng)B。

【2】段落大意題。本題我們需要根據(jù)文章第三段的內(nèi)容總結(jié)找答案。選項(xiàng)A譯為“我們?nèi)绾文軋?jiān)持愛好。”文章的第三段沒有提到“如何堅(jiān)持愛好。”故選項(xiàng)A不正確。選項(xiàng)B譯為“愛好帶給我們的益處。”文章第三段，首先寫運(yùn)動(dòng)作為愛好帶給人的益處，其次愛好給我們提供機(jī)會(huì)去社會(huì)交際以及社會(huì)交際的益處，最后寫愛好帶來快樂和愛好提高工作表現(xiàn)等，這與選項(xiàng)B相符合；選項(xiàng)C譯為“為什么做運(yùn)動(dòng)是一個(gè)好的愛好。”本選項(xiàng)只表達(dá)了第三段的一部分內(nèi)容；選項(xiàng)D譯為“什么時(shí)候我們能夠發(fā)展愛好”，第三段內(nèi)容沒有提及。故正確答案為選項(xiàng)B。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)題干中“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.”回原文定位到最后一段第一句話。再根據(jù)最后一段第二句話“This may be quite true, so make sure you find time for yourself to relax.”，譯為“這可能相當(dāng)正確，所以確保你找到時(shí)間給你自己去放松。”選項(xiàng)A譯為“去抱怨繁忙的生活。”；選項(xiàng)B譯為“去描述Jack的糟糕的工作。”；選項(xiàng)C譯為“去解釋如何發(fā)展一個(gè)愛好。”；選項(xiàng)D譯為“鼓勵(lì)人們找時(shí)間去放松。”，故正確答案為選項(xiàng)D。
