聯考英語（二）真題解析系列16彈：

So what does work? Perhaps surprisingly, scheduling regular times for reading. You'd think this might fuel the efficiency mind-set, but in fact, Eberle notes, such ritualistic behaviour helps us “step outside time's flow” into “soul time.” You could limit distractions by reading only physical books, or on single-purpose e-readers. “Carry a book with you at all times” can actually work, too-providing you dip in often enough, so that reading becomes the default state from which you temporarily surface to take care of business, before dropping back down. On a really good day, it no longer feels as if you're “making time to read,” but just reading, and making time for everything else.

34. “carry a book with you at all times” can work if______

A. reading becomes your primary business of the day

B. all the daily business has been promptly dealt with

C. you are able to drop back to business after reading

D. time can be evenly split for reading and business

參考譯文

那什么方法管用呢?也許讓人驚訝的是，規定時間閱讀。你可能覺得這樣做，會使得讓時間變得有效的這一思維定式更變本加厲了，但實際上，Eberle提到，養成這種習慣能幫助我們“跳出時間流逝”的思維模式，進入到“靈魂時間”。可以只讀實體書，或者只有單一功能的電子閱讀器，以避免分心。“隨身帶書”也真的會有用，只要你經常沉浸其中，閱讀就成為了你的默認狀態，你可以冒個泡，臨時處理一下業務，再繼續沉浸其中。在一個美好的一天，就不再覺得是“利用時間閱讀了”，而只有閱讀，時間也變得無所不能。

【長難句分析】

“Carry a book with you at all times” can actually work, too - providing you dip in often enough, so that reading becomes the default state from which you temporarily surface to take care of business, before dropping back down.

破折號后是補充說明。providing此為連詞，意思是如果。 from which you temporarily surface to take care of business, before dropping back down. 是定語從句修飾state。

本句翻譯為“隨身帶書”也真的會有用，只要你經常沉浸其中，閱讀就成為了你的默認狀態，你可以冒個泡，臨時處理一下業務，再繼續沉浸其中。

【答案解析】

34.“隨身帶書”真的有用，如果__A___

A. 閱讀成為你每天的主要事情

B. 所有的日常事務迅速解決

C. 閱讀后能繼續做事

D. 時間能平均分配給閱讀和其它事情上
