Question

    While marathon study sessions may be unavoidable sometimes, do your best to manage your time effectively.

This way you can easily get what you need without taking an unplanned break. Plan out your study sessions in advance. Think about the time you'll need for each task, add 10% extra time for insurance, and then schedule blocks for your tasks. 3. Remember to include short breaks every hour or so.

Instead of getting confused and upset, divide big tasks into small ones If you’re studying for a final of a course, start by looking over past tests and quizzes. 4.Smaller study tasks may also include creating outlines that summarize textbook chapters.

【解析】

本文是说明文。文章讲述了尽管有时可能不可避免地要进行长时间的学习，但要尽最大努力有效地管理自己的时间。文中介绍了一些提高时间利用率的做法。

1.考查段中句。根据空前“Reduce your workload by studying more efficiently. Before you start studying, always read your task sheet to make sure you're focusing on the right topics.（在开始学习之前，请务必阅读任务单以确保你专注于正确的话题。）”和空后“This saves you time looking it up.（这样可以节省你查找的时间。）”可知，F项（另外，请你的导师解释任何使你感到困惑的话题。）能够承接上文并且与下文连接通顺。该段的第二句话与F选项中的additionally引导的句子以及后面的finally引导的句子在逻辑上是紧密相连的。故选F项。

2.考查段首句。根据空后“Make sure you have everything you need, so you won't need to get up every few minutes to get something.（确保你拥有所需的一切，因此你无需每隔几分钟就起身去拿东西。）”可知，B项（在开始学习之前，请把身边的一切准备好。）能够与下文连接通顺。空格后面的内容是对该选项中的prepare的详细解释。故选B项。

3.考查段中句。根据空前“Think about the time you'll need for each task, add 10% extra time for insurance, and then schedule blocks for your tasks.（考虑一下每个任务所需的时间，增加10％的时间以保证任务完成，然后为任务安排好成块的时间。）”和空后“Remember to include short breaks every hour or so.（请记住，每工作一小时左右要休息一下。）”可知，C项（首先安排最艰巨和最重要的任务。）能够承接上文并且与下文连接通顺。该选项中的tasks与前一句的tasks是同词复现。故选C项。

4.考查段中句。根据空前“If you're studying for a final of a course, start by looking over past tests and quizzes.（诸如“学习史末期”或“写学期论文”之类的任务似乎难以解决，不要将困惑和烦恼分为大任务，如果要学习课程的最后部分，请先查看过去的测试）”和空后“Smaller study tasks may also include creating outlines that summarize textbook chapters.（较小的学习任务可能还包括创建能够归纳总结教科书各章节的大纲。）”可知，E项（然后将课程分为几个单元，并一次学习一个单元。）能够承接上文并且与下文连接通顺。该选项中的course与前一句的course是同词复现。故选E项。

5.考查段尾句。根据空前“It’s better to study for 3 separate 3-hour sessions instead of 1 marathon 9-hour session.（最好学习3个独立的3小时课程，而不是1个马拉松9小时课程。）”可知，G项（从长远来看，多次较短的学习时间将帮助你记住更多信息。）能够承接上文。该选项中是对前一句的做法在效果上进行评价。故选G项。
