What is time？Is it a thing to be saved or spent or wasted，like money？Or is it something we have no control over，like the weather？Is time the same all over the world？
That's an easy question，you say．Wherever you go，a minute is 60seconds，an hour is 60minutes，a day is 24hours，and so forth．But in America，time is more than that．Americans see time as a __________ resource．Maybe that's why they are fond of the expression，"Time is money．"
Because Americans believe time is a limited resource，they try to conserve and manage it．People in the U．S．often attend 百度竞价推广inars or read books on time__________．It seems they all want to organize their time better．Professionals carry around pocket planners--some in electronic form--to keep track of appointments and deadlines．People do all they can to squeeze more time out of their time．The early American hero Benjamin Franklin expressed this view best："Do you love life？Then do not waste time，for that is the stuff life is made of．"
To Americans，punctuality is a way of showing __________for other people's time．Being more than 10minutes late to an appointment usually calls for an apology and an explanation．People who are running late often call ahead to let others know of the delay．Of course，the less formal the situation is，the less important it is to be exactly on time．
American lifestyles show how much people honor the time of others. When people plan an event, they often set the time days or weeks__________ If people want to come to your house for a friendly visit, they will usually call first to make sure it is suitable. only very close friends will just "drop by" unannounced. Also, people__________ to call others late at night for fear they might be in bed. The time may vary, but most folks think twice about calling after 10:00 p.m.
Even Americans would admit that no one can master time．Time--like money--slips all too easily through our fingers．And time--like the weather--is very hard to __________．Nevertheless，time is one of life's most precious gifts．And unwrapping it is half the fun．

A.respect B.attitude C.sympathy D.concern
A.on average B. in advance C.for sure D.on purpose
A.fail B.tend C.hesitate D.hate
A.capture B.predict C.announce D.promise
答案：BAABCB
分析：
75.natural自然地；物质的 valuable 宝贵的 financial财经的，经济的 forceful强有力的
依据后文“Maybe that's why they are fond of the expression，"Time is money．”“可能这就是为何他们喜欢时间就是资金这句话”可知时间是非常宝贵的
management 管理establishment 企业打造 experiment 实验 movement运动活动。依据后文“It seems they all want to organize their time better 。他们好像仿佛全都想要更好的管理时间”可知此空填管理management更适合
Respect 尊敬 attitude 态度 sympathy 同情 concern 关心关系。依据后文“迟到十分钟一般要道歉和讲解，假如晚到的话要提前告诉别的人......”
可知是对别人时间的尊重
78.on average 平均 in advance 提前 for sure 确保 on purpose并不是偶然，故意。依据第五段的一些关键字譬如第二句的“plan”第三句的“first”可知次空填in advance适合
79.fail 失败 tend 倾向、照顾 hesitate犹豫 promise承诺。依据后文“在晚上10点之后给别的人打电话要三思”，可知次空填犹豫做合适。
80.capture 俘获夺取 predict预测 announce宣布 promise许诺。依据前文“时间就像天气一样，非常难----”在联系第一段出现的“have no control over”填预测较适合
C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words．（在短文的空格内填入适合的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词首字母已给）：（14分）
A proverb is a short, well-known saying that expresses a common truth or belief. Proverbs are popular around the world. Many proverbs give advice about how to live. Some proverbs are hundreds of years old, but they are still used today.

Another proverb is that do not bite __________ more than you can chew. This means do not try to do
More than you are able to do.
Sometimes I tell my children to cooperate to solve a problem. After all, two heads are better than one. Two people working together can get better__________, But another proverb says too many cooks spoil the broth. If too many people try to do something. then the job will not be done well.
Some people are pessimist（悲观主义者） they always think about how bad things are or will be，Other people are optimists（乐观主义者） they always look on the bright side. They think things will be all right Optimists might say that every cloud has a silver lining. They can find something good even in a bad __________. other people are both pessimists and optimists They hope for the best and prepare for the __________.

84. results ,依据词性，这个题第一选的是名词，然后依据意思是两个人的合作会产生更好的结果.
85. 这个题依据词意填写的是名词，意思是在最坏的情形下，所以填写是situation
