Ⅰ.阅读理解
The situation is that familiar—deadlines are approaching, time runs out, disorder and confusion fills the day. The feeling is just as familiar—a slightly faster heart rate, and shortness of breath. Yes, it is panic time.
It's too late to kick yourself with “I should have started on this sooner.” or “It was a mistake to accept this tight deadline.” The only thing left to deal with the situation is to panic more efficiently.
※Focus.
Panic happens when you are on an overload—too many things to do, too much pressure, too little time. But if you focus on the tasks that you need to take care of, and line them up in a logical list, you can have better control of a highly stressful and wild situation.
※Get rid of distractions.
Time wasters and unnecessary activities are the last things you need during this time. Let everyone know you are on panic mode and should not be disturbed unless it is an emergency.
※Watch your time.
Don't be too engaged in one detail so that you reduce your timing for the other important details. Mind the time and deal with each task so that you can finish all of the required activities sufficiently.
Try to solve a panic situation as quickly as you can so that you can rest and get back your energy and strength for the next one.
本文是一篇说明文。人们经常会遇见一些恐慌时刻，那么如何处理这些恐慌时刻呢？我们要有一些有效的措施，在文章第3～5段里提出了三个建议。
1．What can a person in a panic mode do to watch his time?
A．He should wear a watch.
B．He should focus on one detail.
C．He should do his work quickly.
D．He should mind the time properly.
答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据第五段第二句“Mind the time and deal with each task so that you can finish all of the required activities sufficiently.”可知在“watch your time”里作者建议我们要合理分配时间高效完成每一个任务。故D项正确。
2．The author suggests those on an overload ________.
A．paying no attention to their panic mode
B．planning their work according to a timetable
C．doing their work in a careful and logical way
D．asking their friends to help do the work
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“But if you focus on the tasks that you need to take care of, and line them up in a logical list, you can have better control of a highly stressful and wild situation.”可知作者建议我们在有太多工作要做的时候，把这些工作按照细致的逻辑顺序排列好，然后一个一个地去解决，这样就不会到最后的时候很恐慌了。故C项正确。
3．The underlined word “distraction” probably refers to something that________.
A．draws off one's attention B．needs to be done at once
C．is worth doing D．costs much money
答案：A
解析：词义猜测题。根据第四段第一句“Time wasters and unnecessary activities are the last things you need during this time.”可知浪费时间在不必要的事情上是我们最不需要做的事情，这些事会分散我们的注意力。所以“Get rid of distractions”中的“distraction”指分散注意力的事，故A项正确。
4．Which of the following can be the title of the passage?
A．A Familiar Situation B．Panic More Efficiently
C．Keep Your Spirit High D．Throw Away Distractions
答案：B
解析：标题判断题。根据文章前两段可知人们经常会遇见一些恐慌时刻，那么如何处理这些恐慌时刻呢？我们要有一些有效的措施，在第3～5段里提出了三个建议。所以本文是关于如何有效处理恐慌的话题，故B项正确。
