Question

【题目】 请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

注意：每个空格只填1个单词。

I used to be the messiest person alive．Over the years, through watching others and by trial and error, I have finally found ways to come up with plans, organize them and follow through with them．

Make an outline of everything you need to have and do to make your plan happen．Make a list of all of the steps that need to be accomplished and think about what needs to be done．

Detail everything thoroughly and read over it so you can start coming up with some mental solutions of how to carry out your plans．

You should ensure that if for some reason way one doesn’t work, you have way two and way three to lean back on．Therefore, different ways are needed at hand．It’s just a matter of being organized．Chances are that there is always more than one way of doing things, and chances are that if one of those ways doesn’t work, one of the other ones will．

Committing yourself to finishing at least part if not all of your plan at once is also necessary．It will show that you not only have initiative to get things rolling, but that you are interested in the results obtained with making the move to get everything done．

If you make a commitment to finish before a specific time, make sure that you carry that out, and be sure to do everything in the way you said you would, within the time-frame you set for yourself．

Don’t try to tackle more things all at a time．All that does is delay your progress, distract you and make you lose your interest, motivation and energy．

Carrying out an effective plan requires being as organized as possible．You will only achieve this by sticking to the order of the plan and not deviating or trying to do more at a time．

Last but not least, you should never abandon things mid-project．It will only annoy everyone around you including yourself．Unfinished plans are a waste of time, energy and, in some cases, even money．

So, don’t be afraid of organization．The older we get, the more necessary it becomes to have the skills to follow through with confidence and to be able to carry through plans in an organized and manageable way．It pays to be organized, after all．

【3】Write/Put/Take

【4】steps

【5】different

【6】ensure

【7】Promise

【解析】作者认为自己曾经是个最邋遢的人，经过多年尝试及向他人学习，最终找到让自己变得干净整洁的方法——制定并执行计划。本文就介绍了让生活变得有秩序的方法。

【1】根据最后一段总结So, don’t be afraid of organization及It pays to be organized, after all．所以填organized。

【2】根据表格中下文所列的内容都是用动词不定式表达，表示目的。所以填Purposes/Aims/Goals。

【3】根据第二段第一条建议就是Make an outline of everything you need to have…即要把想做的事列提纲，把它们写下来。所以填Write/Put/Take，与down搭配都有“写下，记下”的意思。注意要大写。

【4】根据第二段句子Make a list of all of the steps that…所以填steps。

【5】根据第四段Therefore, different ways are needed at hand．所以答案填different。

【6】根据第四段开头句子You should ensure that if for some reason way one doesn’t work…可知，此项建议的目的是确保一种方法不起作用时，有另外的方法可选择。所以填ensure。

【7】根据第五段句子Committing yourself to finishing at least part…可知，此项建议是要保证至少得完成一部分任务，commit指“承诺，保证”，后面不加to do，所以填promise，promise to do指“承诺干某事”，注意大写。

【8】根据句子within the time-frame you set for yourself…可知，填within。

【9】根据倒数第三段Carrying out an effective plan requires being as organized as possible．可知，此项建议的目的是为了让自己的计划能彻底被执行，所以填carried，用过去分词表被动。

【10】根据最后一段So, don’t be afraid of organization．可知，这是作者做出的总结，所以填Conclusion，注意大写。
