解析
本题主要考查对词汇的理解和在具体语境中的运用能力。解题时需要根据句子的逻辑、语义以及固定搭配来选择合适的单词。
- “In a busy work life, you might feel there's never enough time to finish your tasks. As a result, you often feel overwhelmed with the daily...”,这里表达在忙碌的工作生活中,会被日常的某种事物压得喘不过气,“grind”有“日常的辛苦工作、劳累”的意思,符合语境,所以填“grind”。
- “Instead of... your work hours”,结合前文说时间不够,这里应该是说不要延长工作时间,“extend”是“延长”的意思,“of”是介词,后面接动词的 -ing 形式,所以填“extending”。
- “Consistently... to this method”,“conform to”是固定搭配,表示“遵循、遵守”,这里说一直遵循这种方法,“consistently”后接动词的 -ing 形式,所以填“conforming”。
- “People with a good attitude take the...”,“take the initiative”是固定短语,意为“采取主动、主动出击”,所以填“initiative”。
- “Relieving stress is crucial for... productivity”,缓解压力对于维持生产力是至关重要的,“maintain”是“维持、保持”的意思,“for”是介词,后面接动词的 -ing 形式,所以填“maintaining”。
- “Conversely, passive activities like... shopping”,这里说消极的活动,“excessive”表示“过度的”,“excessive shopping”即“过度购物”,符合消极活动的描述,所以填“excessive”。
- 前文提到消极活动,这里说这些活动不太怎么样,“toxic”有“有害的、有毒的”意思,可引申为对人有不良影响,符合语境,所以填“toxic”。
- “The final trick is to cultivate a routine that matches your rhythm and... tasks for efficiency”,这里说培养一种适合自己节奏的日常安排并使任务更有效率,“automate”是“使自动化”的意思,能让任务更高效,所以填“automates”。
- “Your morning routine isn't just about the basics... it's about creating sustainable...”,早上的日常安排不仅仅是一些基本事情,而是要创造可持续的习惯,“habit”是“习惯”的意思,这里用复数形式,所以填“habits”。
- “... out your things the night before”,“lay out”是固定短语,意为“铺开、摆放好”,这里说前一天晚上把东西摆放好,所以填“lay”。
