(36)空前定冠詞the及空后will表明所填詞應(yīng)為名詞，并充當(dāng)句子的主語(yǔ)，而根據(jù)句子后面的than the past or present可知此處是與“過(guò)去”或“現(xiàn)在”的比較，很容易就可以聯(lián)想到“future（未來(lái)）”。

(37) 空前系動(dòng)詞are及空后不定式表明所填詞很可能為過(guò)去分詞，其邏輯賓語(yǔ)為Americans。本句中as表示“正如”，引導(dǎo)非限制定語(yǔ)從句，代替前面整個(gè)句子，因此應(yīng)注意所填詞在意思上與前面句子的連貫性。

(38) 空前Americans及空后的名詞短語(yǔ)表明所填詞應(yīng)充當(dāng)句子的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞，主語(yǔ)為復(fù)數(shù)，且前后句子的時(shí)態(tài)均為現(xiàn)在時(shí)，故此處應(yīng)填動(dòng)詞原形?！皌hus”表明本空所在句子應(yīng)為前句內(nèi)容導(dǎo)致的結(jié)果。既然美國(guó)人認(rèn)為應(yīng)該把時(shí)間用在有意義的事情上，那么他們對(duì)于 “well-organized person（有條理的人）”應(yīng)該是持“贊賞（admire）”的態(tài)度。 滬江四六級(jí) http://cet.hjenglish.com

(39) 空前不定冠詞a及空后介詞短語(yǔ)表明所填詞應(yīng)為單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞。one who has…應(yīng)是對(duì)前面“a well-organized person”的解釋，并且and表明本空應(yīng)與a written list并列。根據(jù)上文，“a well-organized person”應(yīng)該是指擅長(zhǎng)安排時(shí)間的人，因此他在把要做的事情列成清單的同時(shí)應(yīng)該把時(shí)間也安排好，故本空很可能填“schedule（時(shí)間安排表）”一詞。

(40) 由and可知所填詞應(yīng)與punctual（準(zhǔn)時(shí)的）并列作表語(yǔ)共同描述“ideal person”的特點(diǎn)。根據(jù)上文所述，理想的人應(yīng)該能夠做到準(zhǔn)時(shí)并充分“尊重”或“考慮”他人的時(shí)間。故本空很可能填“respectful”或“considerate”。

(41) 空前They及空后的名詞短語(yǔ)表明所填詞應(yīng)充當(dāng)句子的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞，而助動(dòng)詞do not決定此處應(yīng)填動(dòng)詞原形。本空可聯(lián)系第40空的分析。本空所在句子仍然是描述“ideal person”的情況，上句中說(shuō)他們都很準(zhǔn)時(shí)，言外之意就是他們不會(huì)“浪費(fèi)（waste）”別人的時(shí)間?！?/p>

(42)空前的no和空后的名詞短語(yǔ)表明此處應(yīng)為形容詞修飾outcome（效果）。That引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句修飾前面的conversation or other activity，根據(jù)上一題的分析，本句應(yīng)該是表示理想的人是不會(huì)用那些不能帶來(lái)好處的談話或其他活動(dòng)去浪費(fèi)別人的時(shí)間的。而從短文前面的內(nèi)容可知，本文主要是強(qiáng)調(diào)時(shí)間的效率，因此這里應(yīng)該有“快速或明顯”的含義。 滬江四六級(jí) http://cet.hjenglish.com

(43)本空位于系動(dòng)詞和謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞之間，故所填詞很可能為副詞，修飾動(dòng)詞shared。本空所在句子的含義為美國(guó)人對(duì)時(shí)間的態(tài)度不被其他人分享，尤其是歐洲以外的人。這種說(shuō)法過(guò)于絕對(duì)，故所填詞應(yīng)表達(dá)一種“（不）完全或一定”的含義。后面句子中的more likely也提示這里應(yīng)表達(dá)一種非絕對(duì)的概念。

(44)空前的regard time as表明所缺部分應(yīng)為as的賓語(yǔ)，故其形式應(yīng)為名詞短語(yǔ)。而本句的主語(yǔ)they應(yīng)該指代的是non-European，根據(jù)上句所述，他們應(yīng)該不像美國(guó)人那樣看重時(shí)間。
?[Main Points] something that simply exists around them, not something they can use

(45) in this context意為“在這種概念的促使下”，指代的應(yīng)該是上文的情況，即每天要盡可能的節(jié)約并有效地利用時(shí)間，故接下來(lái)描述的應(yīng)該是上文情況所導(dǎo)致的結(jié)果。而根據(jù)空后的“McDonald’s, KFC, and other fast food”，所缺部分應(yīng)該是描述快餐店的出現(xiàn)。

?
(46) 空前的as McDonald’s restaurants意為“隨著麥當(dāng)勞餐館的…”，而空后的現(xiàn)在分詞短語(yǔ)（bringing not…）應(yīng)該是前面內(nèi)容導(dǎo)致的結(jié)果，即前面的情況不僅給人們帶來(lái)了漢堡包而且導(dǎo)致了人們對(duì)速度、效率和潔凈的重視，因此此處很可能是指美國(guó)這種快餐店在其他國(guó)家的擴(kuò)展給其他國(guó)家?guī)?lái)的影響。填空時(shí)要注意由于空前是as引導(dǎo)的從句，而空后是現(xiàn)在分詞作狀語(yǔ)，故所缺部分應(yīng)該包含從句的謂語(yǔ)部分及整個(gè)主句才能使句子的結(jié)構(gòu)完整。
