这篇短文中作者Alex给我们介绍了他一天的时间安排，文章按照时间的顺序，叙述了Alex从早上起床到晚上睡觉，以及在学校里的活动。

【1】细节理解题。根据短文中At 7:30 a.m. I take a bus to school.可知，Alex每天7点半坐公交车去上学。由此可知应选D。

【2】细节理解题。根据短文开头I often get up at 6:30 a.m. Half an hour later I have my breakfast.可知，Alex 6点半起床，半个小时之后他吃早饭，也就是7点。故选B。

【3】推理判断题。根据短文中I often get up at 6:30 a.m. Half an hour later I have my breakfast. At 7:30 a.m. I take a bus to school.可知，Alex6点半起床，半个小时之后吃早饭，然后7点半去上学。由此可知他吃早饭的时间是从7点到7点半，持续半个小时，故应选A。

【4】细节理解题。根据短文中I have lunch and talk with my classmates at school.可知，Alex在学校里吃午饭。故应选A。

【5】细节理解题。根据短文的最后Then I do my homework and watch TV. At about 10:30, I go to bed.可知，Alex吃完晚饭后，做家庭作业，然后看电视，然后再去睡觉。由此可知应选D。

这是一篇记叙文，短文中讲述了Alex一天的时间安排。文章是按照时间的顺序描写的，比较有秩序、有条理，也有助于我们把握文章的中心大意，完成后面的题目。文章的内容贴近学生日常生活，有关这样话题的文章，在教材上也有接触，因此比较容易理解。后面的题目设置主要是以细节理解题为主，做题时，应先通读全文，了解大意，理清文章脉络结构；然后根据题目所问，定位到原文相关的地方，根据有关信息作答。例如第2小题，题目问的是Alex什么时间吃早饭，其实在短文中并没有明确告诉我们Alex吃早饭的时间，但文章中是有线索可寻的，根据I often get up at 6:30 a.m. Half an hour later I have my breakfast.这句话可知，Alex 6点半起床，半个小时之后他吃早饭，也就是7点。故选B。再如第4小题，我们以题干中have lunch为关键词，定位到原文，就可以找到题目的答案。
