题目

By far the most common difficulty in study is simple failure to get down to regular concentrated work. This difficulty is much greater for those who do not work to a plan and have no regular routine of study. Many students muddle along, doing a bit of this subject or that, as the mood takes them, or letting their work pile up until the last possible moment. Few students work to a set timetable. They say that if they did construct a timetable for themselves, they would not keep to it, or would have to alter it constantly, since they can never predict from one day to the next what their activities will be. According to the author, what is the most widespread problem in study? A Lack of a systematic plan for study. B Failure to keep to a set study timetable. C Distractions of routine activities from study.

Few students work to a set timetable. They say that if they did construct a timetable for themselves, they would not keep to it, or would have to alter it constantly, since they can never predict from one day to the next what their activities will be.

According to the author, what is the most widespread problem in study?

A Lack of a systematic plan for study.

B Failure to keep to a set study timetable.

C Distractions of routine activities from study.

题目解答

答案

### 问题解析 题目要求我们找出作者认为在学习中最普遍的问题。为了回答这个问题，我们需要仔细阅读文章并找出关键信息。 文章的第一句话明确指出了最普遍的问题：“By far the most common difficulty in study is simple failure to get down to regular concentrated work.” 这句话的意思是，学习中最普遍的困难是无法进行定期的集中工作。 接下来，文章进一步解释了这个问题的原因。作者提到，那些没有计划和固定学习routine的学生更容易遇到这个问题。许多学生随心所欲地学习，不做计划，导致工作堆积到最后一刻。 ### 选项分析 - **A. Lack of a systematic plan for study.** - 这个选项提到缺乏系统的学习计划。虽然文章中提到了没有计划的学生更容易遇到问题，但这并不是最普遍的问题，而是导致问题的一个原因。 - **B. Failure to keep to a set study timetable.** - 这个选项提到无法遵守固定的学习时间表。文章中确实提到了许多学生没有固定的时间表，但这也不是最普遍的问题，而是导致问题的一个原因。 - **C. Distractions of routine activities from study.** - 这个选项提到日常活动对学习的干扰。文章中没有提到日常活动的干扰是主要问题，而是强调了学生无法进行定期的集中工作。 ### 最终答案 根据文章的第一句话，最普遍的问题是“无法进行定期的集中工作”。虽然选项A和B都提到了导致这个问题的原因，但最直接的答案是A，因为缺乏系统的学习计划是导致无法进行定期集中工作的主要原因。 因此，正确答案是 **A. Lack of a systematic plan for study.** ### 详细解析 1. **文章核心信息**： - 最普遍的问题是无法进行定期的集中工作。 - 缺乏计划和固定的学习routine是导致这个问题的主要原因。 2. **选项分析**： - **A**：缺乏系统的学习计划，这是导致无法进行定期集中工作的主要原因。 - **B**：无法遵守固定的学习时间表，这是结果而不是原因。 - **C**：日常活动的干扰，文章中没有提到这一点。 3. **结论**： - 最普遍的问题是无法进行定期的集中工作，而缺乏系统的学习计划是导致这个问题的主要原因。 因此，正确答案是 **A. Lack of a systematic plan for study.**

解析

本题考查对文章细节的理解，需准确找出作者认为的学习中最普遍问题。

关键信息定位

文章首句明确指出：“By far the most common difficulty in study is simple failure to get down to regular concentrated work.”（到目前为止，学习中最常见的困难是无法进行定期的集中学习。）随后解释道，这一困难对“不按计划学习、没有固定学习 routine 的人”影响更大，许多学生“随心情学一点这个或那个”“作业堆到最后一刻”，进一步说明缺乏系统计划是导致无法定期集中学习的核心原因。

选项分析

  • A. Lack of a systematic plan for study.（缺乏系统的学习计划）
    文章提到“不按计划学习的人困难更大”，且“没有固定 routine”“随心情学习”均指向“缺乏系统计划”，这是导致“无法定期集中学习”的根本原因，符合“最普遍问题的根源”这一表述。
  • B. Failure to keep to a set study timetable.（无法遵守固定学习时间表）
    文章仅说“很少有学生按固定时间表学习”，但这是“缺乏计划”的具体表现之一，并非“最普遍的问题”本身（问题是“无法集中学习”，而“不守时间表”是原因）。
  • C. Distractions of routine activities from study.（日常活动对学习的干扰）
    文章未提及“日常活动干扰”，属于无中生有。
