【答案】16.E17.F18.G19.C20.D

【解析】

【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了为未完成的待办事项制定具体计划的重要性和

方法。

【16题详解】

根据上文“Haveyoueverwokenupworryingaboutanunfinishedproject,anemailthat

youforgottosend,orameetingwhichyoudidn'thaveachancetoschedule?（你

是否曾经一觉醒来就在担心一个未完成的项目，一封忘记发送的邮件，或者一个没有机会安

排的会议？）”可知，上文进行了针对为完成事项的设问，可推测本句应是针对上述问题的

回答，E选项中undone对应上文中unfinished。故E选项“如果你的答案是肯定的，你的

大脑就会被那些未完成的清单所困扰”符合语境，故选E。

【17题详解】

根据上文wResearchersusedtothinkthatthislow-levelworryaboutunfinishedtasks

wasourunconsciousmindtryingtogetthingsdonebyremindingusofwhatwestill

neededtodo.（研究人员过去认为，这种对未完成任务的低层次担忧，是我们的潜意识在提

醒我们还需要做什么，试图把事情完成）”可知，上文提到了研究人员过去认为对未完成任

务看法，本句为本段最后一句，应承接上文继续说明研究人员对此的看法，F选项中

reminders对应上文中reminding。故F选项“一种想法是直到任务完成，提醒才会停止”

符合语境，故选F。

【18题详解】

根据上文“Butrecentresearchsuggeststhatsimplymakingaplantodealwithan

unfinishedtaskmakesahugedifferenceinourabilitytofocus.Whenwedon,tknow

whenorhowwewillfinishthethingsonourtasklists,whatwillhappen?（但最

近的研究表明，简单地制定一个计划来处理未完成的任务，会对我们的专注能力产生巨大的

影响。当我们不知道何时或如何完成任务清单上的事情时,会发生什么？）”以及后文“This

isbecauseundonetasksimpressusmore.（这是因为未完成的任务会给我们留下更深刻

的印象）”可知上文就不知道何时或如何完成任务清单上的事情进行了提问，故本句应承接

上文回答问题：指出不知道何时或如何完成任务清单上的事情时，我们的思维通常会从现在

的任务转移到尚未完成的任务上,故G选项“我们的思维通常会从现在的任务转移到尚未完

成的任务上”符合语境，且与下文构成明显的因果关系。故选G。

【19题详解】

根据上文“Asitturnsout,ourunconsciousmindisn'tactuallyurgingustodoan

undonetaskrightnow,butrathertomakeaplanforwhenwewillgetitdone.To

handlethis,youcanscheduleataskonyourcalendar.（事实证明,我们的潜意识实

际上并不是催促我们现在就去做未完成的任务，而是为我们什么时候能完成它制定一个计

划。要处理这个问题，您可以在日历上安排一个任务）”以及后文“Itseemsthatourbrain

needstoletsomethinggo.（似乎我们的大脑需要放下一些东西）”可知，上文提出的建议

是把未完成的任务安排在日历上，可推测本句应承接上文继续说明处理这些未完成任务的方

式。故C选项“或者你可以把它作为一个行动任务或一个快速任务”符合语境，故选C。

【20题详解】

根据后文“Sostopworryingaboutanundoneto-dolistofthingsthatyouhopeto

accomplishinagivendayorweek.Instead,youshouldavoidbeingdistractedby

startingeachdaywithaconcreteplanforwhatyouwillworkonandwhen.Youdon，t

havetoconstantlymakechoicesaboutwhattoconcentrateon:Justfollowyour

schedule.（所以，不要再为那些你希望在某天或某周内完成的未完成任务清单而烦恼了。相

反，你应该避免分心，以一个具体的计划来开始每一天，你要做什么，什么时候做。你不必

总是选择要集中精力做什么：只要按照你的时间表就行了）”可知，本段主要说明了应该避

免分心的问题，D选项中beingdistracted对应后文中distractions。故D选项“当我们

没有具体的计划时，分心就会占上风”符合语境，故选D。

第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分）
