Question

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Homework is a major part of going to school: It's your teachers' way of evaluating (评价) how much you understand of what's going on in class. 1. Luckily, you can do a few things to make homework less work.

Be sure you understand the homework.

Write your homework down in your notebook or day planner if you need to. 2. It's much easier to take a minute to ask the teacher during or after class than to struggle to remember later that night!

Use any extra time in school.

Many schools have study halls that are specifically designed to allow students to study. It's tempting (诱惑)to hang out with friends during study periods or unstructured (松散的) time. 3.

Take a break.

4. So take some breaks while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without stretching or relaxing will make you less productive than if you stop every so often. Taking a 15­minute break every hour is a good idea for most people.

5.

If you don't finish your homework during school, think about how much you have left and what else is going on that day, and then budget your time. Most high­school students have between 1 and 3 hours of homework a night. If it's a heavy homework day and it seems like you've got an assignment in every subject but gym and lunch, you'll need to devote more time to homework. It's a good idea to come up with some kind of homework schedule, especially if you are involved in sports or activities or have an after­school job.

A．Pace yourself.

B．Settle down to do homework.

C．And it helps digest important concepts.

D．Most people's attention spans aren't very long.

E．Don't be afraid to ask questions about what's expected.

F．Once your homework is done, you can check over it if you have extra time.

G．But the more work you can get done in school, the less you'll have to do that night.

【解析】

试题分析：作业太多，你可以试试如下的办法：1.确保自己知道要做什么作业；2.争取在学校完成；3.注意作业的时间一次不要太长；4.调整自己的步伐。

1.C 考查对上下文的理解。空前的意思是讲“作业是你的老师检查你的听课效果的一种方法”。而C项（它帮助你消化重要的概念。），二者都在说做作业的好处，故选C与上下文一致。

2.E 考查对上下文的理解。空后的意思是讲“花一些时间问老师更好”。E选项（不要害怕问问题。）前后一致，故选E符合上下文。

3.G 考查对上下文的理解。本段主要讲述“在学校多用一些时间”。空前的意思是讲“在学习期间和朋友玩一玩很有诱惑力”，故选G（你在学校完成的作业越多，你在晚上做的作业就越少。）符合上下文。

4.D 考查对上下文的理解。空后的意思是讲“做作业期间要适当休息一下”，D项（大多数人的注意力的时间不会太长。），前后形成因果关系，故选D项符合上下文。

5.A 考查对段落的理解。本段的意思主要讲述“如果你的作业很多，你应该做一个计划”，A项（调整自己的步伐）与本段的意思是一致，故选A。

考点：考查对文章的整体理解和上下文逻辑关系的把握。
