More often than not, David leaves his homework behind and surfs the Internet or watches TV instead, waiting until the last minute. “But the longer I wait,” says David, aged 15, “the more I worry.” Everyone procrastinates (拖延) because they want to feel good now. The way to do that is to avoid the task. You can procrastinate on nearly anything even enjoyable tasks such as planning a vacation. “Some people procrastinate cleaning. Some people procrastinate by cleaning,” says Professor Peter Stone. Research has shown that the top tasks young people procrastinate are studying and going to bed. “One big reason for procrastination is that people are afraid of failure, of not meeting others’ expectations,” Stone adds. Some people believe that procrastination will make them thrive. But researchers disagree. “I did a study several years ago, asking procrastinators to finish a task in a certain period of time,” says Stone. “They did worse than non-procrastinators: they made more mistakes and they took longer. But they thought they did better.” No matter what the reason is, procrastination is usually not going to be good for you. For example, bedtime procrastination can lead to sleeplessness, which in turn can cause many other health problems. For those who need some drive to stop procrastinating, the best advice might be to take action first. If you’ve been procrastinating on forming a habit of exercise, just put on your walking shoes. A little bit of progress will get you moving. Next, find something to help you remember to take action. If you want to go to bed at 10:30 p.m., you might set a timed dimmer switch at 10 p.m. When the lights are dimmer, you’ll start going to bed. It works for most people. Finally, reward (奖励) yourself every time you make progress. For example, after you’ve run 3 km, enjoy your favourite ice cream. But be careful: it won’t work the other way around. 16. What is the main reason for people’s procrastination according to the passage? A. They want to avoid doing hard work. B. They need to finish the top tasks first. C. They plan to do the enjoyable tasks last. D. They are afraid to lose and let others down. 17. The underlined word “thrive” in paragraph 3 most probably means ________. A. think faster B. give up more easily C. worry too much D. work more successfully 18. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE about procrastination? A. It helps people to avoid making mistakes in their work. B. It is a habit that only happens with unpleasant tasks. C. People who procrastinate often overestimate their performance. D. Bedtime procrastination is the most common type among the young. 19. What should David do if he wants to stop procrastinating on a writing task? A. Put on some soft music to help think actively. B. Get a pen and write down possible starting sentences. C. Enjoy a favourite ice cream, and then start writing. D. Search the Internet for enough ideas before starting. 20. What can be the best title for this passage? A. Meeting a Procrastinator. B. Procrastination: Yes or No? C. Say Goodbye to Procrastination. D. Want to Feel Good Now? Procrastinate. 【答案】16 D 17. D 18. C 19. B 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要探讨了拖延症的成因、影响以及如何克服拖延的方法。 【16题详解】 细节理解题。根据“One big reason for procrastination is that people are afraid of failure, of not meeting others’ expectations”可知，人们拖延的主要原因是害怕失败、害怕让别人失望。故选D。 【17题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“But researchers disagree…They did worse than non-procrastinators”可知，研究者不认同“拖延会让人更成功”的观点，thrive在此处意为“更成功地工作”。故选D。 18题详解】 细节理解题。根据“they made more mistakes and they took longer. But they thought they did better”可知，拖延的人常常高估自己的表现。故选C。 【19题详解】 细节理解题。根据“the best advice might be to take action first”可知，若大卫想停止在写作任务上拖延，应先采取行动，比如拿起笔写下可能的开头句。故选B。 【20题详解】 最佳标题题。文章围绕拖延症展开，介绍了其成因、危害并给出克服方法，旨在让人们告别拖延。故选C。 C Drones are a kind of machine that can fly. At present, China took the lead (领先) in using and developing them all around the world. They’re becoming more and more popular and are widely used in many areas.

Some people say this special machine will change our life as much as the computer does. In Brazil, farmers use drones to watch their crops. Brazil has quite a few large farms. On these farms, people find it difficult to look after all the crops. Drones can help farmers to find out if the crops are ill. They also help farmers use fewer farm chemicals (农药). This can help the environment and save much money. Drones can also help to find lost people. If people are lost, who are far from home, police can use drones to find them. A 92-year-old man in Virginia was lost and had to spend a night in the woods. Luckily, the drone found him in 20 minutes. He was finally saved by the police. Drones can even serve people coffee. US company IBM has made this kind of drone. It can carry coffee to those in need. The drone can know when to bring a cup of coffee by studying a person’s habits. Then, the drone will fly to the person. There is a special device (设备) under the drone. It helps the drone to give people the coffee.

B Looking at the undone homework on his desk always makes David Grey feel uncomfortable. More often than not, David leaves his homework behind and surfs the Internet or watches TV instead, waiting until the last minute. “But the longer I wait,” says David, aged 15, “the more I worry.” Everyone procrastinates (拖延) because they want to feel good now. The way to do that is to avoid the task. You can procrastinate on nearly anything, even enjoyable tasks such as planning a vacation. “Some people procrastinate cleaning. Some people procrastinate by cleaning,” says Professor Peter Stone. Research has shown that the top tasks young people procrastinate are studying and going to bed. “One big reason for procrastination is that people are afraid of failure, of not meeting others’ expectations,” Stone adds. Some people believe that procrastination will make them thrive. But researchers disagree. “I did a study several years ago, asking procrastinators to finish a task in a certain period of time,” says Stone. “They did worse than non-procrastinators: they made more mistakes and they took longer. But they thought they did better.” No matter what the reason is, procrastination is usually not going to be good for you. For example, bedtime procrastination can lead to sleeplessness, which in turn can cause many other health problems. For those who need some drive to stop procrastinating, the best advice might be to take action first. If you’ve been procrastinating on forming a habit of exercise, just put on your walking shoes. A little bit of progress will get you moving. Next, find something to help you remember to take action. If you want to go to bed at 10:30 p.m., you might set a timed dimmer switch at 10 p.m. When the lights are dimmer, you’ll start going to bed. It works for most people. Finally, reward (奖励) yourself every time you make progress. For example, after you’ve run 3 km, enjoy your favourite ice cream. But be careful: it won’t work the other way around. 16. What is the main reason for people’s procrastination according to the passage? A. They want to avoid doing hard work. B. They need to finish the top tasks first. C. They plan to do the enjoyable tasks last. D. They are afraid to lose and let others down. 17. The underlined word “thrive” in paragraph 3 most probably means ________. A. think faster B. give up more easily C. worry too much D. work more successfully 18. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE about procrastination? A. It helps people to avoid making mistakes in their work. B. It is a habit that only happens with unpleasant tasks. C. People who procrastinate often overestimate their performance. D. Bedtime procrastination is the most common type among the young. 19. What should David do if he wants to stop procrastinating on a writing task? A. Put on some soft music to help think actively. B. Get a pen and write down possible starting sentences. C. Enjoy a favourite ice cream, and then start writing. D. Search the Internet for enough ideas before starting. 20. What can be the best title for this passage? A. Meeting a Procrastinator. B. Procrastination: Yes or No? C. Say Goodbye to Procrastination. D. Want to Feel Good Now? Procrastinate. C Drones are a kind of machine that can fly. At present, China took the lead (领先) in using and developing them all around the world. They’re becoming more and more popular and are widely used in many areas. People use a computer to control this flying machine. Drones can do many things for us, like carrying things, taking pictures, and following animals that are in danger. Some people say this special machine will change our life as much as the computer does. In Brazil, farmers use drones to watch their crops. Brazil has quite a few large farms. On these farms, people find it difficult to look after all the crops. Drones can help farmers to find out if the crops are ill. They also help farmers use fewer farm chemicals (农药). This can help the environment and save much money. Drones can also help to find lost people. If people are lost, who are far from home, police can use drones to find them. A 92-year-old man in Virginia was lost and had to spend a night in the woods. Luckily, the drone found him in 20 minutes. He was finally saved by the police. Drones can even serve people coffee. US company IBM has made this kind of drone. It can carry coffee to those in need. The drone can know when to bring a cup of coffee by studying a person’s habits. Then, the drone will fly to the person. There is a special device (设备) under the drone. It helps the drone to give people the coffee. The drone can also predict when someone needs their next cup of coffee. 21. In Paragraph 1, the writer tells us the wide use of drones in the passage by ________.
