大家好。

本周，我们看一篇七选五阅读，来自于2017年全国Ⅱ卷。

本文是一篇说明文，还是熟悉的体裁，熟悉的套路。

老规矩，上原题：

Interruptions are one of the worst things to deal with while you’re trying to get work done. 36, there are several ways to handle things. Let’s take a look at them now.

37. Tell the person you’re sorry and explain that you have a million things to do and then ask if the two of you can talk at a different time.

When people try to interrupt you,have set hours planned and let them know to come back during that time or that you’ll find them then. 38. It can help to eliminate(消除) future interruptions.

When you need to talk to someone,don’t do it in your own office. 39, it’s much easeier to excuse yourself to get back to your work than if you try to get someone out of your space even after explaining how busy you are.

If you have a door to your office, make good use of it. 40. If someone knocks and it’s not an important matter. excuse yourself and let the person know you’re busy so they can get the hint(暗示) than when the door is closed,you’re not to be disturbed.

A. If you’re busy, don’t feel bad about saying no

B. When you want to avoid interruptions at work

C. Set boundaries for yourselfas your time goes

D. If you’re in the other person’s office or in a public area

E. It’s important that you let them know when you’ll be available

F. It might seem unkind to cut people short when they interrupt you

G.Leave it open when you’re available to talk and close it when you’re not

首先，快速浏览一遍七个选项，划出实词。

主抓空前空后。

第36空，空前一句开宗明义：Interruptions are one of the worst things to deal with while you’re trying to get work done，意为：当你工作时，打扰成为必须去处理的最糟糕的事情之一。由此句可大致推出本文主要讲了如何处理在工作中的打扰。

空后一句：there are several ways to handle things. Let’s take a look at them now. 意为有一些方法可以解决（在工作中被打扰的问题）。根据这句可以推出，空前应该提出了工作中被打扰时该怎么办。根据做题前在选项中划出的实词，综合分析，只有B项最合适：When you want to avoid interruptions at work（当你想在工作中避免打扰时）。因此第36空答案为B项。

第37空出现在段首，必然起到提纲挈领的作用。空后一句：Tell the person you’re sorry and explain that you have a million things to do and then ask if the two of you can talk at a different time， 意为：跟那个人说抱歉，并解释你有很多事需要做，商议另约时间。这属于工作中被打扰时具体的解决方案，正好是对选项A（If you’re busy, don’t feel bad about saying no）的进一步说明。再者，A选项中的saying no跟空后一句中tell the person you're sorry同义。因此，第37空答案为A项。

第38空出现在段中. 先看空前：When people try to interrupt you, have set hours planned and let them know to come back during that time or that you’ll find them then. 本句意为：当有人试图打扰你的时候，安排好时间，让他们知道在那时你会回来。那么第38空必然讲的是让对方知道你什么时候有空（come back during that time or that you’ll find them then），对比选项可知，只有E项中的let them know when you’ll be available最贴切。因此第38空答案为E项。

第39空出现在段中，且空后紧跟逗号，逗号后是一个完整句子。由此可知，39空应为一个有引导词的状语从句。选项中只有A,B, D为状从，A和B项已被选出，只剩D项：If you’re in the other person’s office or in a public area，意为如果你在其他人的办公室或在公共区域时，空后it’s much easeier to excuse yourself to get back to your work...意为找个借口回到工作中会更容易些。空后这句的条件为D项中的状从。因此第39空答案为D项。

第40空出现在段中，空前一句If you have a door to your office, make good use of it，意为：如果你办公室有门，好好利用它。那么空后一定是要讲具体怎么利用办公室的门，选项G正是这个意思：G.Leave it open when you’re available to talk and close it when you’re not（当你方便说话时把它开着，不方便时关闭它）。因此，第40空答案为G项。

总结：七选五阅读，跟完形填空一样，都是就逻辑的考察。做题步骤为：

1. 快速浏览一遍七个选项，划出实词；

2. 注意空前空后中的线索词（通常也是实词），跟选项中的实词做对比（近义同义递进转折等）；

3. 试填；

4. 代入选项，验证检查，确保万无一失。
