1.答案与解析:G 考查上下文衔接。空前谈到人们参加聚会时都思考过什么时候离开最合适。空后谈到既要避免不礼貌地过早离开,又要考虑不过度逗留。所以本空选G“到离开聚会最自然的时间可能是一种艺术形式”。
2.答案与解析:B 考查上下文衔接。空前谈到了礼仪专家Blaikie认为礼貌地离开聚会有一个黄金时间,因此本段应该谈离开聚会的具体时间。所以,本空谈在工作日的晚上聚会的话,10:30是离开的黄金时间。

Test 2
(2018·长沙市名校第二阶段测评)
How to Retain (保存) More of Every Book You Read
In recent years, I have focused on building good reading habits and learned how to read more. For most people, the final goal of reading a nonfiction book is to actually improve their life by learning a new skill, understanding an important problem, or looking at the world in a new way. __1__ With that in mind, I'd like to share three reading comprehension
skills that I use to make my reading more productive.
1.Make all of your notes searchable.
Having searchable book notes is important for returning to ideas easily. __2__ An idea is only useful if you can find it when you need it. There is no need to leave the task of reading comprehension merely up to your memory.
2.__3__
When you go to the library, all of the books will be divided into different categories. In the real world, of course, knowledge is not separated into neatly defined boxes. __4__ For that reason, I try to consider how the book I'm reading is connected with all of the ideas that are already inside my head. Whenever possible, I try to combine the lessons I'm learning with previous ideas.
3.Summarize the book in one paragraph.
__5__ It forces me to review my notes and consider what is really important about the book. In many cases, I find that I can usually get just as much useful information from reading my oneparagraph summary and reviewing my notes as I would if I read the entire book again.
A.Combine thoughts as you read.
B.All knowledge is interconnected.
C.Describe the book to your friends.
D.Read widely if you want to practice the skills.
E.It increases the chances that you will apply what you read in real life.
F.Once I finish a book, I challenge myself to summarize the text in just three sentences.
G.It's important to read books, but it is just as important to remember what you read and use it.

2.答案与解析:E 根据语境可知,有可查阅的读书笔记对于轻松地回想起书中的思想很重要,这增加了你将读到的东西运用到现实生活中的可能性。E项中的It指代Having searchable book notes。
3.答案与解析:A 根据此段的最后一句“Whenever possible, I try to combine the lessons I'm learning with previous ideas”可知,作者建议读书的过程中要学会整合思想,故A项与此处匹配。
