39、er, they are filling their lives up voluntarily. In an article for The New York Times entitled The busy trap, Kreider says, “busy people” are “addicted to busyness and fear what they might have to face in its absence”.Our lives cannot possibly be silly or meaningless if we are “in demand every hour

40、of the day”.Kreider says that for most of us, being busy is not necessary; its something weve chosen.He tells the story of a friend of his who was driven out of New York by high rent costs.

48、r was in可知作者的姐姐出车祸了。2. A。这里对应下文的“Amanda was one of the 4 drivers I knew. I felt shocked and terrified.”在作者的眼里，姐姐开车一向稳妥，所以当她获悉了姐姐出车祸时，身体的每个部位因为惊愕而僵住了。3. D。由上句作者的惊呆和下句她是最安全的司机之一，可知作者不相信她会发生车祸，因此用How。4. B。尽管她只有17岁，但她是我知道的最安全的司机之一。这正是作者不相信会发生车祸的原因。5. D。作者和弟弟就立刻奔向姐姐入住的医院。leave for 动身前往（某地）。6. A。当我们到达医院时，

49、我姐姐的脸从眉毛往上都被盖住。7. B。几种仪器连接在她身上。attachto 与相连。8. A。look up 抬头向上看。姐姐是躺在病床上的，她当然是向上看我了。9. C。从她眼中，我预计会看到恐惧，但我看到的却是力量。10. D。当她对我说：“我爱你”的时候，我突然意识到，我对姐姐说我爱她的次数是多么的少。11. A。由下句“but she wasnt listening any more可知作者想回复姐姐的“我爱你”。12. B。前后是因果关系。我也想对她说我爱她，但她却不在听我说话了，因为医生正把她带往X光线室。13. D。看到姐姐受伤的情况，又听到“我爱你”，作者感触很大，直到姐姐

50、转过墙角我看不到她时，我再也抑制不住自己的感情，大哭起来。14. C。姐姐被推走后，尽管大家都告诉我她会没事的，但我一直在担心。15. B。作者在手术室外面等候Amanda时焦虑不安，所以可以判断，这里表示过去的分分秒秒都让她内心的疑虑不断增大，担心手术是否顺利。confidence 信心；sympathy 同情；curiosity 好奇心。16. A。这里大家等候医生手术的结论，所以A比较合适，words 话语；note 便条；evidence 证据；information 信息。17. D。当我知道自己不会失去姐姐的时候，我的心雀跃起来。虽然她需要做一些整容手术，但毕竟她还活着，这对我来说

51、才是最重要的。18. D。一年之后，尽管我们两个经常吵架，但每次even though 尽管；now that 既然。19. C。每次我看到姐姐脸上的伤疤时，我都记得要告诉她我爱她。20. B。她脸上的伤疤成了对我的提醒，因为，曾经我差点没机会给她说我是多么地爱她。21. D。知道女儿没有听自己的话开走了Chevy，父亲生气地打电话报警说车子被偷了，所以D正确，C不对。由“The police officer was too young to understand father-daughter politics”可知B不对。A文中没有提到。22. B。第五段里作者提到，一天在马路上第一眼看见

52、父亲时竟没有认出来，因为他看上去如此年迈脆弱。尤其是第五段的最后一句“Perhaps I saw your age for the first time that day”更是明显地跟B吻合。23. A。根据第四段和倒数第二段的“Its more about unconditionally loving children who are stubborn, who know everything and wont listen to anyone”可以推出父亲是关爱孩子和容忍孩子的，所以caring和tolerant正确。24. D。从第一段的“squeezing her ample bott

53、om into the seat, filling all available space she put her enormous arm on our common armrest”可以得此答案。25. B。从第七段的“She was thoughtful”以及第九段的“Laura was an interesting conversationalist. She was well read in many subjects Her comments were humorous and inspirational I was pleasantly surprised by her inte

54、lligent comments and well-thought-out analysis”可知，劳拉是个很有人格魅力的人，所以作者才改变了她对劳拉的态度，B正确。26. A。从第十一段的“I eat healthily and walk regularly; Im this size because I am born to be big!”可以得此答案。D是个很大的干扰项，但是文中劳拉并没有说快乐比健康重要，所以D不对。27. B。根据第七段的“Her voice was warm and caring”以及“When we were served drinks and meals, s

55、he made sure that I had room to move in my seat”，劳拉对人体贴周到，让人感觉温暖。28. D。本句的含义可从下文的“I have other priorities”推测，花钱在买衣服上没什么意义，作者有别的更需要花钱的地方。29. D。作者先引用了别人的看法“US writer Jennifer Baumgartner says peoples clothes tell a story about their personality”，随后用自己的实例“My daughters were shocked. They thought I looke

56、d like a nerd, but I knew my disguise was perfect”来驳斥，衣着并不能真实反映出人的性格。30. A。作者在介绍完Elizabeth L. Cline的书以后紧接着说“I dont agree”，是为了表达自己的不同观点。31. A。作者通篇都在驳斥“穿什么衣服能反映出人的性格”这个观点，但事实上，他认为穿什么衣服并不重要，“Do I care? Not at all. You get what you pay for”点题了。32. B。Kreider says “busy people” are busy “because theyre ad

57、dicted to busyness and fear what they might have to face in its absence”. Kreider认为有些人抱怨自己忙是因为他们对于“忙”的状态上了瘾以致难以面对悠闲的生活状态。33. C。根据文中提到的Kreider的一位友人的经历以及文中的相关叙述可知忙不忙有时取决于环境。34. C。根据后文Doing nothing is not lazy, he says, “It is as indispensable to the brain as vitamin D is to the body.”可知space out就是腾出时间休息，什么也不做的意思。35. B。文中举出阿基米德和牛顿的例子是为了说明闲散的状态有利于科学发明的产生。“不过分忙碌”也有其好处。9
