【答案與解析】本文講述了合理利用時間的重要性，人的一生除去睡覺、娛樂和撫養孩子，剩下的時間其實是很少的，因此我們應該合理地利用這些有限的時間，不讓自己后悔。

1. C。familiar意為”熟悉的”，此處指時間對于我們每個人來說都是極為熟悉的，ordinary意為”平常的”，particular意為”特殊的”。

2. D。此處指我們有時把時間視為就像是真實存在著的東西一樣，treat意為”視為；對待”。

3. D。這句指的都是我們是如何對待時間的，treat太籠統，可以排除，save time意為”節省時間”，故答案選D。

4. A。沒有時間我們將失去一切，然而并不是我們中的所有人都知道如何最好地使用時間，兩句間表輕微轉折，故使用連詞however。

5. B。由We can find people committed to working and studying all the day around us，可知整天工作和學習的人應該是很少甚至完全不去玩樂和逛街的，seldom意為”很少，幾乎不”。

6. C�；〞r間做某事應使用動詞spend，pay指花錢買東西，waste意為”浪費”，cost意為”花費，價值”。

7. A。acute意為”敏銳的”，這里是說他們對于時間的短暫有著敏銳的感覺，shortness 意為”短缺”，符合此處語意。length意為”長度”，sufficiency意為”充足，足量”，happiness意為”快樂”。

8. B。因為他們將幾乎所有的時間花在學習上，所以看起來像是時間的奴隸，同時從后面幾句對這種人的看法可知，此處應為表貶義的詞，故答案為B。

9. A。從laugh at them和We also treat them as monsters, and look down upon them可知，此處是指瞧不起這種人，故應為foolish，意為”愚蠢的”。

10. C。這里指沒必要像他們一樣學習和工作，need指”必要，必需”。

11. B。worry 意為”使煩惱”，surprise意為”使驚奇”frighten意為”使驚嚇”，fear意為”恐懼”。我們以為時間是很充足的，但其實確是很短暫的，這個答案應是會使我們感到驚奇。

12. D。根據常識判斷，人生一半以上的時間應該是用來睡覺的。

13. C。此處指花時間來養育孩子，bring up意為”教育，培養”，符合此處語境。grow up意為”成長”，stay up意為”熬夜”，send up意為”發射，長出”。

14. A。energy意為”精力，精神”，此處指等我們退休之后，人老了，就沒有足夠的精力去做一些重要的事情了。intelligence 意為”智力”，strength意為”力量”，ability意為”能力”。

15. D。由also可知，此處應為short的同義詞。四個選項中，limited意為”有限的”，符合要求。

16. B。夢想成為現實，應使用動詞come。come true意為”實現，達到”。

17. B。聯系前文We sometimes say they are ___9___ and laugh at them，可知此處是指不要再嘲笑他們，故答案為B。

18. D。結合前文if we don’t treasure it highly可知此處應為highly，意思是非常珍惜時間。

19. C。比較幾個選項，set off 意為”出發”，cut off 意為”切斷，斷絕”，put off意為”推遲，拖延”，fall off意為”下降，跌落”，此處應指將今天的工作拖延到明天，故答案選C。

20. A。此處應為追上時間的腳步，catch up 意為”追上”，符合此處語境。hurry up意為”趕快”，set up意為”建立”，pick up意為”撿起；獲得”。
