B．Researched.C．Deepened. D．Eased.答案D解析詞義揣測題。依據畫線詞后面的“byfillingmytimewithbusywork”和第五段第一句“LaterIrealizedbusyworkcouldn’treallybringtherelief...”可知，該詞與bringtherelief相對應，意為“減輕，緩解”，因此選D。10．What’stheauthor’ssuggestionondealingwithdistraction?A．Workhardwiththeintentiontofillourlife.B．Balancebetweenourworkandsocialactivities.C．Expandourworkloadtofitthetimeavailable.D．Removethesenseofguiltaboutmind’swanderingaway.答案A解析推理推斷題。依據最終一段中“guiltcame...workingwithoutintention”“considerthatyoumightneedtoworkharderonprojectsthatwillfillyourdaysandenrichyourlife”可知，作者認為內疚來自工作無安排，假如我們工作時分心，就要考慮在一些能豐富我們生活的事上多做努力。由此推知，作者建議有安排地在能豐富我們生活的事情上努力，因此選A。Ⅱ.七選五(2024·湖北七市3月模擬)Therewasasurveyofthepeoplewhowerebornfrom1980to2000,askingthemwhattheirmostimportantlifegoalswere.Over80percentsaiditwastogetrich.11We’reconstantlytoldtodevotemoretoourwork,topushharderandtoachievemore.We’regiventheimpressionthatthesearethethingsthatweneedtogoaftertohaveagoodlife.Butisthatthetruth？12Butwhatifwecouldstudypeoplefromthetimewhentheywereteenagersallthewayintooldagetoseewhatreallykeepspeoplehappyandhealthy?TheHarvardStudyofAdultDevelopmentdidit.For75years,they’vetrackedthelivesof724men.Studieslikethisareextremelyrare.Almostallprojectsofthiskindfallapartwithinadecadebecausetoomanypeopledropoutofthestudy.13Ortheresearcherscan’tgettogether.Butthroughacombinationofluckandthepersistenceofseveralgenerationsofresearchers,thisstudyhassurvived.Sowhathavetheylearned?Theconclusionisthatit’snotwealthorfamethatcounts.14They’velearnedthreebiglessonsaboutrelationships.Firstly,peoplewhoaremoresociallyconnectedtofamily,tofriendsandtocommunityarehappierandphysicallyhealthier.Thesecondisthatit’snotjustthenumberoffriendsyouhavebutthequalityofyourcloserelationshipsthatmatters.Andthethirdisthatgoodrelationshipsdon’tjustprotectourbodies.15A．Theycanevenprotectourbrains.B．Tobecomefamouscamesecond.C．Orfundingfortheresearchdriesup.D．Thegoodlifeisbuiltwithrelationships.E．Itturnsoutthatbeinginconflictis
