Question

A punctual person is in the habit of doing a thing at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment.

　   The unpunctual man，on the one hand，never does what he has to do at the proper time._ 1._There is a proverb saying, “Time flies never to be recalled”. This is true. __2.__Time is more valuable than material things. In fact，time is life itself. The unpunctual man is for ever wasting and mismanaging his most valuable possessions as well as other's. The unpunctual person is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters，or return calls or keep appointments promptly.. __3.__He knows that he can not get through his huge amount of work unless he faithfully keeps every piece of work when it has to be attended to. __4.__If a person is invited to dinner and arrives later than the appointed time，he keeps all the other guests waiting for him. Usually this will be regarded as a great disrespect to the host and all other guests present.

　   Unpunctuality，moreover，is very harmful when it comes to do one's duty，whether public or private. Imagine how it would be if those who are put in charge of important tasks failed to be at their proper place at the appointed time.__ 5.__

A. He is always in a hurry and in the end loses both time and his good name

B. They appear to be busy but never get well organized

C. Maybe everybody minds being kept waiting at a party

D. A lost thing may be found again，but lost time can never be regained.

E. But the man who really has a great deal to do is very careful of his time and seldom complains of want of it

F. After all, man who is known to be habitually unpunctual is never trusted by his friends or fellow men.

G. Failure to be punctual in keeping one's appointments is sign of disrespect towards others.

【解析】

試題分析：本文通過對(duì)比描述了守時(shí)和不守時(shí)的不同表現(xiàn)。守時(shí)的人總會(huì)按時(shí)完成任何事情,而且在約會(huì)方面從來不遲到。與此相反，不守時(shí)的人從來不會(huì)在恰當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)間做完應(yīng)該完成的事情，而且作者也提到不守時(shí)是對(duì)人不尊敬的表現(xiàn)，而且也會(huì)失去人們的信任。

1.A考查上下文的理解判斷能力。前句內(nèi)容講不準(zhǔn)時(shí)的人的表現(xiàn)“從來不在恰當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)間做他需要做的事情”，縱觀選項(xiàng)A項(xiàng)內(nèi)容恰好也是描述不準(zhǔn)時(shí)的人的表現(xiàn)，而且能符合語(yǔ)境，承接上文，所以答案選A。

2.D考查上下文的理解判斷能力。根據(jù)上下文可知此部分是講述時(shí)間的寶貴，而D選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容是講時(shí)間一去不復(fù)返，恰好是對(duì)上句的進(jìn)一步解釋，所以正確答案是D。

3.E考查上下文的理解判斷能力。前句講不守時(shí)的人的表現(xiàn)，而下文He knows that he can not get through是關(guān)于守時(shí)人的做法，由此可知E選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容能起到承上啟下作用。

4.G考查推理概括能力。本段通過舉例來說明不準(zhǔn)時(shí)是不禮貌的，是對(duì)人不尊重的表現(xiàn)，而縱觀選項(xiàng)G項(xiàng)內(nèi)容恰恰能夠起到概括本段的作用，故G為正確選項(xiàng)。

5.F考查上下文的理解判斷能力。本段講述不守時(shí)的危害，而F選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容也是有關(guān)不守時(shí)的壞處，能夠符合語(yǔ)境，承接上文，所以正確選項(xiàng)為F。
