Methods of studying vary; what works 1 for some students doesnt work at all for others. The only thing you can do is experiment 2 you find a system that does work for you. But two things are sure: 3 else can do your studying for you, and unless you do find a system that works, you wont although college. Meantime, there are a few rules that 4 for everybody. The hint is dont get 5 .The problem of studying, 6 enough to start with, becomes almost 7 when you are trying to do three 8 in one weekend. 9 the fastest readers have trouble 10 that. And if you are behind in written work that must be 11 , the teacher who accepts it 12 late will probably not give you good credit. Perhaps he may not accept it 13 . Getting behind in one class because you are spending so much time on another is really no 14 . Feeling pretty virtuous about the seven hours you spend on chemistry wont 15 one bit if the history teacher pops a quiz. And many freshmen do get into trouble by spending too much time on one class at the 16 of the others, either because they like one class much better or because they find it so much harder that they think, they should 17 all their time to it. 18 the reason, going the whole work for one class and neglecting the rest of them is a mistake, if you face this 19 , begin with the shortest and easiest 20 . Get them out of the way and then go to the more difficult, time consuming work.
1.A good B easily C sufficiently D well
2. A until B after Cwhile D so
3. A somebody B nobody C everybody D anybody
4. A follow B go C operate D work
5. A behind B after C slow D later

17. A devote B put C spend D take
18. A Whichever B Whatever C However D Wherever
19. A attraction B decision C temptation D dilemma
20. A arrangements B way C assignments D class
答案與解析
1.【答案】D
well是副詞，good是形容詞，不能修飾動詞work,所以A不可。此處要與后面的doesnt work at all形成對比，sufficiently 不夠細心。
2.【答案】A
根據上下文，此句的意思是你一直進行嘗試，直到找到適合自己的學習方法。因而此處的連詞要表達直到的意思。
3.【答案】B
分析此句，線索是空格后的else，兩個詞連起來表示，別的任何人都不能。
4.【答案】D
根據同義詞復現原則，此處與前文的work同義，work表示起作用的意思。
5.【答案】A
getbehind等都表示落后的意思，根據上下文，顯然是說，我們在學習上不要落后。
6.【答案】C
此處要求填一個形容詞，hardly為副詞，意為幾乎不，可排除。又根據上下文，可以理解出這句話的意思應該是：學習的問題是，一開始的時候是非常難的，而當你想在一周內完成三周的事情時則變得幾乎是不可能的。這時談的是難度的問題，因此選其他的答案是不合適的。如果直接解此題有困難，可以先做后面的題。
7.【答案】C
根據從句中的意思來判斷本題的答案。要在一周內做三周的事，毫無疑問，應當說這是幾乎不可能的。
8.【答案】 C
表面考的是所有格的用法，實際上考的是名詞的數。三周肯定是復數，week必須是復數形式;work是不可數名詞。答案就一目了然了。
9.【答案】 A
本題考查的是篇章詞匯。解題也有兩種方法。第一種方法從篇章的角度著手，承接上面一段，說的是學習的困難，在這里顯然是說即使是讀得最快的人也有困難，選A順理成章。第二種方法從句法著手。這是一個簡單句，顯然不能填連詞和介詞，C、D明顯錯誤。單就本句來說，選almost也是不能的。
10.【答案】B
本題考查固定搭配。 have troubledoing sth.表示做某事有困難。
11.【答案】A
本題考查固定搭配。turn in 的意思是交上去，上交turn up 出現;turn out出來，結果是;give in 讓步。
12.【答案】 D
根據上下文，此處表示過晚之意，用too。
13.【答案】C
本題考查固定用法。notat all，一點也不。
14.【答案】D
這一句及其下一句是說因為你在別的科花的時間太多而在另一科落后，前者不是后者的理由。所以此處要選表示借口、理由意思的詞，即excuse。solution解決方法;method方法，途徑。
15.【答案】A
分析此句，此空表示籠統的有用的意思，可使用動詞help。encourage 鼓勵;assist 協助;improve提高，改善。
16.【答案】 A
本題考查固定搭配。 at the expense of的意思是以為代價。
17.【答案】A
本題考查固定搭配。devoteto是一個固定搭配。
18.【答案】B
分析此句，此空后面是名詞reason，所以答案只能在A,B里選擇。其他兩項不能接名詞。根據句意，表示無論理由是什么，所以選B。
19.【答案】C
分析此句，前面所說的明顯是一種誘惑，所以要選temptation。attraction 吸引;decision決定;dilemma窘境，困境。
20.【答案】D
分析上下文，前文說的是上某課的事，所以選class。arrangements安排;assignments 指派的職責或任務。
