[解析]
(1)E.推理判断题。根据上文"Have you ever woken up worrying about an unfinished project,an email that you forgot to send,or a meeting which you didn't have a chance to schedule?(你是否曾经一觉醒来就在担心一个末完成的项目,一封忘记发送的邮件,或者一个没有机会安排的会议?)"可知,上文进行了针对为完成事项的设问,可推测本句应是针对上述问题的回答,故E选项"If your answer is yes.your brain is bothered by those undone lists(如果你的答案是肯定的,你的大脑就会被那些未完成的清单所困扰)"符合语境,选项中undone对应上文中unfinished.故选E.
(2)F.细节理解题。根据上文"Researchers used to think that this low﹣level worry about unfinished tasks was our unconscious mind trying to get things done by reminding us of what we still needed to do.(研究人员过去认为,这种对未完成任务的低层次担忧,是我们的潜意识在提醒我们还需要做什么,试图把事情完成)"可知,上文提到了研究人员过去认为对未完成任务看法,本句为本段最后一句,应承接上文继续说明研究人员对此的看法,故F选项"The belief was that the reminders wouldn't stop until the tasks were done.(一种想法是直到任务完成,提醒才会停止)"符合语境,选项中reminders对应上文中reminding.故选F.
(3)G.因果关系题。根据上文"But recent research suggests that simply making a plan to deal with an unfinished task makes a huge difference in our ability to focus.When we don't know when or how we will finish the things on our task lists,what will happen?(但最近的研究表明,简单地制定一个计划来处理未完成的任务,会对我们的专注能力产生巨大的影响。当我们不知道何时或如何完成任务清单上的事情时,会发生什么? )以及后文"This is because undone tasks impress us more.(这是因为未完成的任务会给我们留下更深刻的印象)"可知上文就不知道何时或如何完成任务清单上的事情进行了提问,故本句应承接上文回答问题,指出不知道何时或如何完成任务清单上的事情时,我们的思维通常会从现在的任务转移到尚未完成的任务上,故G选项"Our thoughts will typically wander from our present task to our undone tasks(我们的思维通常会从现在的任务转移到尚未完成的任务上)"符合语境,且与下文构成明显的因果关系。故选G.
(4)C.推理判断题。根据上文"As it turns out our unconscious mind isn't actually urging us to do an undone task right now,but rather to make a plan for when we will get it done.To handle this,you can schedule a task on your calendar.(事实证明,我们的潜意识实际上并不是催促我们现在就去做未完成的任务,而是为我们什么时候能完成制定—个计划。要处理这个问题。您可以在日历上安排一个任务)"以及后文"It seems that our brain needs to let something go.(似乎我们的大脑需要放下一些东西)"可知,上文提出的建议是把未完成的任务安排在日历上,可推测本句应承接上文继续说明处理这些未完成任务的方式。故C选项"Or you can list it as an action task or a quick task(或者你可以把它作为一个行动任务或一个快速任务)"符合语境。故选C.
(5)D.段落大意题。根据后文"So stop worrying about an undone to﹣do list of things that you hope to accomplish in a given day or week.Instead.you should avoid being distracted by starting each day with a concrete plan for what you will work on and when.You don't have to constantly make choices about what to concentrate on:Just follow your schedule.(所以,不要再为那些你希望在某天或某周内完成的未完成任务清单而烦恼了。相反,你应该避免分心,以一个具体的计划来开始每一天,你要做什么,什么时候做。你不必总是选择要集中精力做什么:只要按照你的时间表就行了)"可知,本段主要说明了应该避免分心的问题,故D选项"When we have no specific plans,distractions certainly take over(当我们没有具体的计划时,分心就会占上风)"符合语境,选项中being distracted对应后文中distractions.故选D.
