Ⅰ.七选五
We face problems in our everyday life. 1 Don't worry. As long as you are breathing, you can solve problems.
Be aware of the problem.
First of all, it is important to know and understand the problem clearly. 2 Following questions like why, what, how, when, where and who will take you to the root cause of the problem.
Analyse the problem.
Analysing the problem will give you time to think of a proper solution. 3 They can be diagrams (图表), flow charts or lists, etc.
Plan a strategy (策略)．
Planning a strategy will help you waste less energy and time in attempting all the solutions. This step includes knowing the advantages and disadvantages of applying a solution. In this way, you can abandon the strategy that you don't find worthy to apply.
4
Leave out the information that is not required for the solving of the problem. You need to be accurate with the details. Keeping the unrelated information can sometimes complicate the simple problems as we tend to overlook the important information.
Carry out the solution.
Putting the solution into effect in a correct way to get the result expected is important while solving a problem. You need to be creative while actualizing (实施) a solution just in case some other problem arises while applying the solution. 5
A．Remove unrelated information.
B．You can use various tools to study the problem.
C．Use yes or no questions to get better information.
D．Knowing the problem means solving half the problem itself.
E．They can be social problems, relationship problems, or problems at work.
F．Being ready with alternatives is also important in case a solution works only halfway.
G．Spend 10% of the time analysing the problem and 90% on the solution, not the opposite.
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了解决问题的方法，包括了解问题、分析问题、制定策略、筛选信息、实施解决方案等。
1．E 解析：上一句说我们每天都在面对着各种问题，下文接着又说我们可以解决这些问题，综合比较各个选项可知，此处应该是对各种问题进行列举。故选E。
2．D 解析：上一句说首先我们必须要非常清楚地了解问题，接下来就应该是说了解问题的重要性。由此可知，D选项符合题意。故选D。
3．B 解析：根据下文中的举例“They can be diagrams (图表)，flow charts or lists, etc.”可知这些都是分析问题的方法。故选B。
4．A 解析：根据文中的“Leave out the information that is not required for the solving of the problem.”可知，要去除不需要的信息，而A选项是对这一句话的同义转述。故选A。
5．F 解析：根据文中的“You need to be creative while actualizing (实施) a solution just in case some other problem arises while applying the solution.”可知，在施行解决方案时为了防止出现其他问题，我们必须要具有创造性。综合比较各个选项可知F选项符合题意。
