56.C47%的已婚夫婦抱怨他們在一起的時間太少。57.C聯(lián)系上下文語境可知,此處是問“時間都哪兒去了呢?”58.D由語境及大多數(shù)人的生活狀態(tài)可知,對大多數(shù)人來說,工作和乘公交車上下班占用了一天中的大部分時間。59.A生活簡單化就意味著我們要知道所花錢、時間和精力的方式。60.B由語境可知,我們應該尋找一些方法使事情變得更容易一些。然后,我們就必須控制自己的生活以獲取娛樂的時間。第Ⅱ卷第三部分:英語知識運用(共兩節(jié),滿分45分)第二節(jié)(共10小題;每小題1.5分,滿分15分)閱讀下面材料,在空白處填入適當?shù)膬?nèi)容(不多于3個單詞)或括號內(nèi)單詞的正確形式。Josh:Jean,youarestudyingIELTS.Areyou61(plan)ongoingabroad?
