(2015·石家庄二中一模)We have a problem, and the strange thing is that we not only know about it, but also celebrate it.Just today, someone boasted to me that she was so busy that she’s averaged four hours of sleep a night for the last two weeks.She wasn’t complaining; she was proud of the fact.She is not alone.
Why are typically rational people so irrational in their behavior? The answer is that we’re in the midst of a bubble.I call it “The More Bubble”.
The nature of bubbles is that something is absurdly overvalued until—eventually—the bubble bursts, and we’re left wondering why we were so irrationally animated in the first place.The thing we are overvaluing now is the opinion of doing it all, having it all, achieving it all.
This bubble is being enabled by a combination of three powerful trends: smart phones, social media, and extreme consumerism.The result is not just information overload, but opinion overload.We are more aware than at any time in history of what everyone else is doing and,therefore, what we should be doing.In the process, we have been sold a bill of goods: that success means being supermen and superwomen who can get it all done.Of course, we boasted about being busy—it’s code for being successful and important.
And our answer to the problem of more is always more.We need more technology to help us create more technologies.We need to shift our workload to free up our own time to do yet even more.
Luckily, there is a solution to the pursuit of more: the pursuit of less, but better, a growing number of people are making this change.I call these people Essentialists.
These people are designing their lives around what is essential and removing everything else.These people arrange to have actual weekends (during which they are not working).They created technologyfree zones in their homes.They trade time on Facebook with calling those few friends who really matter to them.Instead of running to different meetings, they put space on their calendars to get important work done.
So we have two choices:We can be among the last people caught up in “The More Bubble”,or we can join the growing community of Essentialists and get more of what matters in our one precious life.
1.When the woman said for two weeks she only slept for four hours a night,________.

B.she was asking for suggestions

【解题导语】 本文为一篇记叙文。内容讲述了一名乘客在飞机出事故的危险时刻,请缨要亲自去操作飞机,最后化险为夷的故事。
1.解析:考查文章内在联系及词性转换。根据上文中的“everyone sensed that something was wrong”(飞机出故障了)可知,此处应用steady(稳定的,平稳的)的反义词,又因修饰动词move应用其副词形式。因此本空应填unsteadily一词。
答案:unsteadily
2.解析:考查动词时态。fasten的动作发生在thrown forward(为一般过去时)的动作之前,即“过去的过去”,因此fasten应用过去完成时态。
答案:had fastened
3.解析:考查非谓语动词。句意:说话很快,几乎耳语,她告诉大家,飞行员已经晕倒了。此处用speaking表示一种伴随动作。
来源:www.ziyuanku.com答案:Speaking
4.解析:考查代词。句意:她告诉乘客飞行员晕倒了,问是否有人对机器有所了解(懂机器方面的知识)。根据语意可知,此处表示“乘客中的任何一个人”,因此应用any一词。
答案:any
5.解析:考查名词。After a moment’s hesitation“经过片刻的犹豫”,空格前的词为名词所有格形式,因此其后要用名词。hesitate的名词形式为hesitation。
答案:hesitation
6.解析:考查动词时态和语态。句意:把飞行员挪到一边,他坐到了驾驶座上仔细听地面的飞机场正在给这架飞机发送的紧急指示。句式分析:that引导的定语从句,先行词为the urgent instructions。根据句意可知,instructions与send之间为被动关系,故应用其被动形式;当时,地面飞机场正在给飞机发送紧急指示,故应用过去进行时,因此应用send的过去进行时的被动语态。
答案:were being sent
7.解析:考查副词。...was dangerously close to the ground at the moment“危险地接近地面的时刻”。be close to是一个固定搭配,意为“靠近……”。close在此为形容词,用副词来修饰。
答案:dangerously
8.解析:考查固定搭配。sb.be familiar with sth.为固定搭配,意为“某人熟悉某事”。
答案:with
9.解析:考查状语从句。句意:当他操作使飞机着陆的关键时候到了。根据语意可知,应用when来引导时间状语从句。
答案:when
10.解析:考查非谓语动词。句中已有谓语动词guided,因此当再出现另外一个动词follow(遵循,按照)时,应用其非谓语动词形式。又因follow与the man之间为主谓关系(即主动关系),因此应用其现在分词形式作伴随状语。
答案:following
