第一节完型填空（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）
阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从21~30各题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Okay, you are in the classroom, you’ve got the proper attitude, your instructor seems eager and energetic and you’re ready to learn. Your instructor starts 21 . You listen to the first few words and then begin to take notes. Copious notes. At the end of 45 minutes you have literally rewritten the 22 . Your hand is sweaty from the constant writing and you’ve filled up seven pages of your notebook. But one thing is 23 . You forgot to listen to the lecture.
This is a 24 problem in all classes. You are so afraid that you might miss something “important” that your tendency is to write 25 down. We all do because we have all committed this 26 at one time or another. I realize it’s easy for me to say this, but it is much better to listen to the lecture carefully and 27 only those things that were genuinely important.
It goes without saying that your notes should be written readably. I wouldn’t suggest rewriting your 28 after every class but sometimes this will help you understand and recollect the material better. Organize your notes into brief 29 . Use arrows, stars, asterisks and other notational devices to highlight things that seem really important. As a rule, if there is anything you don’t understand, bring it up during the next class period. If not, you will be doing yourself, and everyone 30 in the class, a great injustice.
21. A. speaking B. saying C. talking D. discussing
22. A. speech B. lecture C. lesson D. class
23. A. missing B. going C. losing D. leaving
24. A. average B. ordinary C. common D. usual
25. A. anything B. something C. nothing D. everything
26. A. behavior B. action C. fault D. error
27. A. record B. notice C. memorize D. keep
28. A. comments B. notes C. diaries D. works
29. A. styles B. sections C. species D. designs
30. A. rest B. remaining C. other D. else
