　　10.【答案】A
　　此空與a common characteristic(普遍的特征)構(gòu)成動(dòng)賓結(jié)構(gòu)。 share共享,共有;consent同意，divide分開(kāi)，只有share能與其搭配。所以選A。

　　Methods of studying vary; what works 1 for some students doesn’t work at all for others. The only thing you can do is experiment 2 you find a system that does work for you. But two things are sure: 3 else can do your studying for you, and unless you do find a system that works, you won’t although college. Meantime, there are a few rules that 4 for everybody. The hint is “don’t get 5 ”.The problem of studying, 6 enough to start with, becomes almost 7 when you are trying to do three 8 in one weekend. 9 the fastest readers have trouble 10 that. And if you are behind in written work that must be 11 , the teacher who accepts it 12 late will probably not give you good credit. Perhaps he may not accept it 13 . Getting behind in one class because you are spending so much time on another is really no 14 . Feeling pretty virtuous about the seven hours you spend on chemistry won’t 15 one bit if the history teacher pops a quiz. And many freshmen do get into trouble by spending too much time on one class at the 16 of the others, either because they like one class much better or because they find it so much harder that they think, they should 17 all their time to it. 18 the reason, going the whole work for one class and neglecting the rest of them is a mistake, if you face this 19 , begin with the shortest and easiest 20 . Get them out of the way and then go to the more difficult, time consuming work.
　　1.A good B easily C sufficiently D well

　　3. A somebody B nobody C everybody D anybody
　　4. A follow B go C operate D work
　　5. A behind B after C slow D later

　　17. A devote B put C spend D take
　　18. A Whichever B Whatever C However D Wherever
　　19. A attraction B decision C temptation D dilemma
　　20. A arrangements B way C assignments D class
　　答案與解析
　　1.【答案】D
　　well是副詞，good是形容詞，不能修飾動(dòng)詞work,所以A不可。此處要與后面的doesn’t work at all形成對(duì)比，sufficiently 不夠細(xì)心。
　　2.【答案】A
　　根據(jù)上下文，此句的意思是“你一直進(jìn)行嘗試，直到找到適合自己的學(xué)習(xí)方法”。因而此處的連詞要表達(dá)“直到”的意思。
　　3.【答案】B
　　分析此句，線索是空格后的else，兩個(gè)詞連起來(lái)表示“(除了你自己)，別的任何人都不能……”。
　　4.【答案】D
　　根據(jù)同義詞復(fù)現(xiàn)原則，此處與前文的work同義，work表示起作用的意思。
　　5.【答案】A
　　get(fall, be)behind等都表示落后的意思，根據(jù)上下文，顯然是說(shuō)，我們?cè)趯W(xué)習(xí)上不要落后。
　　6.【答案】C
　　此處要求填一個(gè)形容詞，hardly為副詞，意為“幾乎不，可排除”。又根據(jù)上下文，可以理解出這句話的意思應(yīng)該是：學(xué)習(xí)的問(wèn)題是，一開(kāi)始的時(shí)候是非常難的，而當(dāng)你想在一周內(nèi)完成三周的事情時(shí)則變得幾乎是不可能的。這時(shí)談的是難度的問(wèn)題，因此選其他的答案是不合適的。如果直接解此題有困難，可以先做后面的題。
　　7.【答案】C
　　根據(jù)從句中的意思來(lái)判斷本題的答案。要在一周內(nèi)做三周的事，毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)，應(yīng)當(dāng)說(shuō)這是幾乎不可能的。
　　8.【答案】 C
　　表面考的是所有格的用法，實(shí)際上考的是名詞的數(shù)。“三周”肯定是復(fù)數(shù)，week必須是復(fù)數(shù)形式;work是不可數(shù)名詞。答案就一目了然了。
　　9.【答案】 A
　　本題考查的是篇章詞匯。解題也有兩種方法。第一種方法從篇章的角度著手，承接上面一段，說(shuō)的是學(xué)習(xí)的困難，在這里顯然是說(shuō)“即使”是讀得最快的人也有困難，選A順理成章。第二種方法從句法著手。這是一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單句，顯然不能填連詞和介詞，C、D明顯錯(cuò)誤。單就本句來(lái)說(shuō)，選almost也是不能的。
　　10.【答案】B
　　本題考查固定搭配。 have trouble(in)doing sth.表示做某事有困難。
　　11.【答案】A
　　本題考查固定搭配。turn in 的意思是“交上去，上交”;turn up 出現(xiàn);turn out出來(lái)，結(jié)果是;give in 讓步。
　　12.【答案】 D
　　根據(jù)上下文，此處表示“過(guò)晚”之意，用too。
　　13.【答案】C
　　本題考查固定用法。not…at all，一點(diǎn)也不。
　　14.【答案】D
　　這一句及其下一句是說(shuō)因?yàn)槟阍趧e的科花的時(shí)間太多而在另一科落后，前者不是后者的理由。所以此處要選表示“借口、理由”意思的詞，即excuse。solution解決方法;method方法，途徑。
　　15.【答案】A
　　分析此句，此空表示籠統(tǒng)的“有用”的意思，可使用動(dòng)詞help。encourage 鼓勵(lì);assist 協(xié)助;improve提高，改善。
　　16.【答案】 A
　　本題考查固定搭配。 at the expense of的意思是“以……為代價(jià)”。
　　17.【答案】A
　　本題考查固定搭配。devote…to是一個(gè)固定搭配。
　　18.【答案】B
　　分析此句，此空后面是名詞reason，所以答案只能在A,B里選擇。其他兩項(xiàng)不能接名詞。根據(jù)句意，表示“無(wú)論理由是什么”，所以選B。
　　19.【答案】C
　　分析此句，前面所說(shuō)的明顯是一種誘惑，所以要選temptation。attraction 吸引;decision決定;dilemma窘境，困境。
　　20.【答案】D
　　分析上下文，前文說(shuō)的是上某課的事，所以選class。arrangements安排;assignments 指派的職責(zé)或任務(wù)。
