16.Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be,Places of business that used to keep daytime"business hours"are now open late into the night.And on the Internet,the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant (不相關(guān)的).A half century ago in the United states,most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work,school time and summer time,Today the boundaries still exist,but they seem not clear.
The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most,it no longer does,It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer,in most,it still does.And whether the work week should strengthen its legal limits,or whether it should become more"flexible"is often debated,How should we,as a society,organize our time?Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other?
These are not easy questions even to ask.Part of the difficulty is that we rarely recognize the"law of time"even when we meet it face to face.We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number of hours,a certain number of days,a certain number of years-but unless we meet the truant officer (學(xué)監(jiān)),we may well think that we should go to school due to social custom and parents'demand rather than to the law.As adults we are familiar with"extra pay for overtime working."but less familiar with the fact that what constitutes(構(gòu)成)"overtime"is a matter of legal definition.,When we turn the clock forward to start daylight-saving time,have we ever thought to ourselves;"Here is the law in action"?As we shall see,there is a lot of law that has great influence on how organize and use time:compulsory education law,overtime law,and daylight-saving law-as well as law about Sunday closing,holidays,being late to work,time zones,and so on.Once we begin to look for it,we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and assess.

66.By saying"Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be,"the writer means thatD.
A.work time is equal to rest time
B.many people have a day off on Monday,
C.it is hard for people to decide when to rest
D.the line between work time and rest time is unclear
67.The author raises the questions in Paragraph 2to introduce the fact that peopleC.
A.fail to make full use of their time
B.enjoy working overtime for extra pay
C.a(chǎn)re unaware of the law of time
D.welcome flexible working hours
68.According to the passage,most children tend to believe that they go to school because theyB.
A.need to acquire knowledge
B.have to obey their parents
C.need to find companions
D.have to observe the law
69.What is the main idea of the passage?A
A.Our life is governed by the law of time
B.How to organize time is not worth debating.
C.New ways of using time change our society.
D.Our time schedule is decided by social customs.

分析 本文探討了時(shí)間規(guī)律的變化以及由此帶來的人們生活起居、工作學(xué)習(xí)的變化.

解答 66.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第1段Today the boundaries still exist,but theyseem not clear.說明工作和休息的分界線現(xiàn)在變得不明顯了,故選擇D.A"工作時(shí)間與休息時(shí)間相等",B"很多人在星期一休息",C"人們很難判斷在什么時(shí)候休息"都與真實(shí)含義不符.
67.C 推理判斷題.根據(jù)第2段Part of the difficulty is that we rarely recognize the"law of time"even when we meet it face to face.描述,作者提出這樣的問題是想說明人們不清楚時(shí)間規(guī)律,而并非"不能充分利用時(shí)間"、"喜歡工作以得到額外報(bào)酬"或"歡迎富有彈性的工作時(shí)間".因此,結(jié)合選項(xiàng),答案為C.
68.B 推理判斷題.根據(jù)第3段…we should go to school due to socialcustom and parents'demand rather than to the law可知學(xué)生們認(rèn)為上學(xué)是迫于社會(huì)習(xí)慣或家長的要求而不是出于時(shí)間規(guī)律,應(yīng)選擇B.
69:A 主旨大意題.本文探討了時(shí)間規(guī)律的變化以及由此帶來的人們生活起居、工作學(xué)習(xí)的變化.因此選擇A"我們的生活有時(shí)間規(guī)律掌控"符合文章主題.B"怎樣安排時(shí)間不值得討論",C"利用時(shí)間的新方法改變了我們社會(huì)",D"我們的時(shí)間日程由社會(huì)習(xí)慣決定"都不合文章主題或表達(dá)不正確.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是社會(huì)文化類閱讀理解.做這類題材閱讀理解時(shí)要求考生對(duì)文章通讀一遍,做題時(shí)結(jié)合原文和題目有針對(duì)性的找出相關(guān)語句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析,結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案.推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案,切忌胡亂猜測(cè),一定要做到有理有據(jù).

For one thing,in order to enrich students'life,after-school activities in our school are varied and colorful.Different kinds of clubs are set up,such as reading,basketball,writing and singing.For another,these clubs are open for students for one hour every day.By participating in after-school activities,not only can we build our body and enrich our knowledge,but also we can free us from the heavy load of study.I joined the basketball club because I like basketball very much and I have learned how to be a good player and how to do teamwork.
In a word,I really enjoy the after-school activities.
      Best wishes,
Yours,
Li Jin.
