牛刀小试

(C)

        You know the feelings of operating on autopilot, running from one meeting to the next--or skipping from one email distraction to another.
    Before you know it, the month has passed, the season has changed and you're left scratching your head, wondering how to bring meaning back to your career and life.
Kory Kogon, FranklinCovey productivity expert and co-author of The 5 Choices to
Extraordinary Productivity, says the problem is widespread. In fact, an international six-year study by FranklinCovey found that 40 percent of respondents indicated they spent 40 percent of their time on things that were "not important" to them or to their companies.
    Based on the timeless principles of human productivity and backed by the latest neuroscience (神经系统科学) research, Kogon's co-authored book aims to help people increase productivity at work and in their personal lives by making wise choices on a daily basis.
    "Our attention is under attack, and people feel overburdened like never before," Kogon says.
    Kogon says the condition is that people live with the effects of a productivity paradox (悖论). Technology has left individuals feeling overburdened with the number of decisions they must make during the day, the number of tasks that require their attention and the drain of their personal energy.
    Adam Merril, another co-author of The 5 Choices, says that the book research made him much more aware of how these challenges make harmful impact on individuals.
    "You can see the cost of this on our daily lives, on our relationships that have not been cultivated and on our goals that have not been met," Merril says. People waste time, attention and energy on things that don't drive the most important results.
    Before jumping into the specific choices, it's important to note that the book builds on the FranklinCovey principles of time management, specifically the idea of fitting activities into quadrants (象限) based on what's urgent, not urgent, important and not important.
    Quadrant 2, the home of activities that are important but not urgent, is seen as the place of extraordinary productivity. Kogon says it's in this quadrant that you can focus on doing proactive (积极主动的) work, achieving high-impact goals, creative thinking, planning, relationship building and learning.
    "Unlike the other quadrants, where things come at you, you have to consciously choose to be in quadrant 2," she notes.
    But to get there, you must learn to rewire your brain, which has become accustomed to responding to the urgent and feeling that dopamine (多巴胺) high. Kogon says that the latest brain science shows that individuals can overcome "urgency addiction" by taking time to pause and consider what's actually important.
    The strategy, which the authors call "pause-clarify-decide", puts emphasis on the difference between the "reactive brain" and the "thinking brain".
    When you can pause long enough to ask yourself if something is important, you can clarify and decide what will give you the best return on every moment of your day .

真相大白

74.C 75.D 76.A 77.C

名师把脉

这篇文章是典型的C篇科技类文章，难度比较高，段落比较多，讲的是如何提高生活中的工作效率的问题，有一些科技类文章的难词生词，同时题材又不会离生活太远

步步为赢

74.这道题是细节题，我们定位到第2道，word guessing的题目可以结合词本身的意思和文章意思2者来看，scratching your head本来是抓耳挠腮的意思，根据前文的意思，你要操作一个自动驾驶仪，要经过一个又一个的会议，一封一封的发邮件，结果时间白白得耗掉了，可以得出答案应为C；面的wonder（想知道）一词也是一个提示

75.这道题目是细节题，我们先定位出The 5 Choices这本书在文章哪里出现了，Before jumping into the specific choices, it's important to note that the book builds on the FranklinCovey principles of time management，文章中这句话给了我们答案，build on就相当于题干中的be based on，故应该选择D,时间管理的象限法则

76.这道题是标题题，需要纵览全文，这篇文章主要讲如何提高生活中的工作效率，我们总是囿于那些紧急的事情，而忘记了生活中什么才是最重要的，B选项太具体，C选项只是作者为了讲清楚自己的观点而饮用的理论，不能作文章的标题，D选项影响效率的诸多因素在文章中根本没有涉及

77.这道题是细节题，但是涉及到4个不同的问题，需要总览全文，A选项过于片面，象限理论中第4象限是既不紧急也不重要，所以也是不需要马上做的；B选项也过于片面，紧急性和重要性都是指导我们工作流程的准则，只不过作者告诉我们相比较而言，重要性更重要；D选项跟原文一比照The strategy, which the authors call "pause-clarify-decide", puts emphasis on the difference between the "reactive brain" and the "thinking brain".就知道是错的了
