56.C47%的已婚夫妇抱怨他们在一起的时间太少。57.C联系上下文语境可知,此处是问“时间都哪儿去了呢?”58.D由语境及大多数人的生活状态可知,对大多数人来说,工作和乘公交车上下班占用了一天中的大部分时间。59.A生活简单化就意味着我们要知道所花钱、时间和精力的方式。60.B由语境可知,我们应该寻找一些方法使事情变得更容易一些。然后,我们就必须控制自己的生活以获取娱乐的时间。第Ⅱ卷第三部分:英语知识运用(共两节,满分45分)第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(不多于3个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。Josh:Jean,youarestudyingIELTS.Areyou61(plan)ongoingabroad?
