11.I'll do it tomorrow,I swear!
Procrastination is the thief of time and a lot of students suffer from it.(71)CHowever,they only stare into space,eat snacks,surf the Internet,watch videos and look at their pretty peers sitting around them who,most likely,are doing nothing either.
According to a recent report by the BBC,95percent of us procrastinate at some point and 20percent of the world's population are chronic procrastinators,complicating their lives with their constant delaying of tasks.
The figures are discouraging.(72)D Just look at Hamlet,who is perhaps the world's most famous procrastinator.He is also a university student,and his indecision leads to tragedy(悲。﹊n the biggest way.
Procrastinators like to find excuses to justify their behavior,but BBC columnist Rowan Pelling says they are all wrong.
(73)E Pelling says this is nonsense,as work done at the last minute is more likely to have mistakes than work done on time.She says the behavior of procrastinators often makes them feel nervous and ashamed,inconveniences others,and annoys loved ones.
Pelling also points out that procrastination feels particularly delinquent(不良傾向的) in a society that views swift action as praiseworthy,and,at times,even as morally good.
(74)FPiers Steel,a Canadian social scientist and author of The Procrastination Equation,believes humankind is"designed"to procrastinate.Nevertheless,he suggests a couple of good ways to get through the task at hand.(75)ABreak the task down into small pieces and work your way through them methodically.The second is ingenious:Give a trusted friend a sum of money and tell them that if you don't complete the task you have undertaken by a specific time,they can keep it or donate it to a cause you hate.

A.The first one is obvious.
B.But this does nothing to break the spell.
C.They could spend whole days in the library doing nothing useful.
D.Procrastinators are less wealthy,less healthy and less happy than those who don't delay.
E.Many procrastinators tell themselves they are perfectionists who work best under pressure.
F.Fortunately,social scientists have thrown their weight behind efforts to understand this behavioral weakness and offer strategies to control it.
G.Paralyzed by their habit to procrastinate,they write micro blogs about their fears,asking their online friends if they sometimes have the same issue.

分析 這篇文章主要介紹了一種行為缺陷,拖延癥并提出一系列防控策略.

解答 71-75 CDEFA
1.C. 選項(xiàng)的they指代上句的students; 選項(xiàng)中的doing nothing useful對(duì)應(yīng)后面的stare into space,eat snacks,surf the Internet…等,并在第一段末復(fù)現(xiàn)了doing nothing.
2.D. 哈姆雷特(莎士比亞悲劇劇名及該劇的主人公)例子He is also a university student,and his indecision leads to tragedy(悲。﹊n the biggest way.的tragedy對(duì)應(yīng)了選項(xiàng)中的less happy.
3.E.由后面的Pelling says this is nonsense,as work done at the last minute is more likely to have mistakes than work done on time 可知Pelling說(shuō)這是行不通的,因?yàn)樵谧詈笠环昼娡瓿傻墓ぷ鞅劝磿r(shí)完成的工作更有可能犯錯(cuò)誤,因此拖延癥患者認(rèn)為在壓力下他們能工作的更好是錯(cuò)誤的.
4.F. 由后面的he suggests a couple of good ways to get through the task at hand.可知社會(huì)學(xué)家想出辦法完成手邊的工作. 
5.A. 由后面的The second is ingenious 可知第一是明顯的,第二是獨(dú)具創(chuàng)新的.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 做七選五題目時(shí)要注意以下規(guī)則:1.放進(jìn)去通順,這一點(diǎn)是基礎(chǔ).凡不通順的必錯(cuò)無(wú)疑;2、選項(xiàng)中有單詞、詞組、句子成分或與所選答案所在段內(nèi)容重合;
3、選項(xiàng)與其上句或下句之間有必然的邏輯關(guān)系;4、選項(xiàng)全部?jī)?nèi)容都屬于正確答案所在段.有時(shí)備選答案中可能含有甲乙兩項(xiàng)內(nèi)容,這時(shí),只有當(dāng)甲和乙都?xì)w屬于本段時(shí),答案才是正確的.

3.A.There are few statues in the Middle East.
B.Art is a good means for people to know about religions.
C.Artists express their feelings and opinions in their works.
D.People know more about our culture through learning art history.
E.Art is more objective than history itself.
F.Art history provides information of different places and people.

80.A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than is possible to learn in general history classes.Most typical history courses concentrate on politics,economics and war.But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people,but also religious beliefs,emotions,and psychology.D
81.In addition,information about the daily activities of our ancestors-or of people very different from our own-can be provided by art.In short,art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place,and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than can be found in most history books.F
82.In history books,objective information about the political life of a country is presented; that is,facts about politics are given,but opinions are not expressed.Art,on the other hand,is subjective:it reflects emotions and opinions.The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly"political"artist.In his well-known painting The Third of May 1808,he criticized the Spanish government for its misuse of power over people.Over a hundred years later,symbolic images were used in Pablo Picasso's Guernica to express the horror of war.Meanwhile,on another continent,the powerful paintings of Diego Rivera,Jose Clemente Orozco,and David Alfaro Siqueiros-as well as the works of Alfredo Ramos Martins-depicted these Mexican artists'deep anger and sadness about social problems.C
83.In the same way,art can reflect a culture's religious beliefs.For hundreds of years in Europe,religious art was almost the only type of art that existed.Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that depicted people and stories from the Bible.Although most people couldn't read,they could still understand biblical stories in the pictures on church walls.B
84.By contrast,one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was (and still is) its absence of human and animal images.This reflects the Islamic belief that status are unholy.A.
