B．Recovered.C．Usedup. D．Changed.答案：C解析：詞義揣測題。依據(jù)前句“Ifyouthinkofwillpowerassomethingthat'slimited,you'remorelikelytobetiredwhenyouperformadifficulttask”可知假如你認為意志力是有限的東西，在執(zhí)行困難的任務時，你更可能會乏累；本句中的But是關鍵詞，說明與上句形成轉折，所以此處是指假如你認為意志力很難被耗盡，那么你就可以堅持下去。故C項正確。3．Thefollowinggroupscanbenefitfromthefindingsexcept.A．patientsfollowingstrictdietsB．childrenlikingtowatchTVC．smokerstryingtogiveupsmokingD．employeesfacinganewbutwell-paidtask答案：D解析：推理推斷題。依據(jù)文章最終一段中“Thefindingscouldhelppeoplewhoare...facingatoughtask.”可知選D。4．Whydoestheauthorwritethetext?A．Toexplainthepowerofwillpower.B．Toshowushowtobuildwillpower.C．Totellusthewaysofgainingwillpower.D．Tointroduceanewtheoryonwillpower.答案：D解析：寫作意圖題。作者在其次段里介紹了以前人們對意志力的看法，第三段第一句“Butpsychologistshavechallengedthistheory,sayingweakwillpowerisinyourhead.”告知我們心理學家有了新的觀點，下文主要介紹了關于意志力的新的發(fā)覺。所以本文介紹了關于意志力的一種新的理論。故D項正確。Ⅱ.完形填空ThedayIreceivedmyletterofacceptancetoNewYorkUniversity,Iwasextremelyexcited.Andmy1werepleasedforme.Buttheyalsohadn't2metogetintosuchacompetitiveschool.Infact,thebestthingtheyeverdidformewasto3mefromdoingthingsperfectly—indeed,theyofferedtobuymeapresentIt5whenIwasinthethirdgrade.AnonlychildinanAsianfamily,Ihadjust6withmyfamilyfromTaiwantoLosAngeles.Monthsintothethirdgrade,Idevelopedastrongfeelingof7aboutgettingbadgrades.Seeingmyanxiety,Dadsaid,“Kate,tellyouwhat.IfyougetaCor8，I'llbuyyouapresent.Ifyouscorehigherthanthat,Iwon'tbuyyouanything，becauseyouwon't9it.”Clearlymydadandmomweren'tthe10Asiantigerparents,Theydidn'twanttopushme.Theywantedmetobehappyandhealthy.Dad'sofferofa“failinggrade”giftamazingly11myworriesandpressure.What'smore,I12gettingA'sandB'sthroughouthighschool.Itwasmyparents'lackofstressongradesthatgaveme13toencouragemyowndesireforachievements.InowrealizeIwas14whenIthoughtIdidn'treceiveapresentfrommydadthatday.Hegavemetwoinvaluable15：thespacetodevelopmyowndesireforexcellence，andthehealthymindtoachieveit.本文為記敘文。作者的父母不像那種典型的亞裔式的虎爸虎媽，給孩子施壓，迫使孩子努力取得好成果，而是給他寬容的教化，希望他歡樂健康。正是這種教化給了作者自行培育進取心的空間，以及實現(xiàn)目標的健康心理。這也是父母給作者的兩件最珍貴的禮物。1．A.friends B．classmates C．teachers D．parents答案：D解析：考查名詞辨析。A.friends摯友；B.classmates同學；C.teachers老師；D.parents父母。依據(jù)下文描述可知，此處是說父母(parents)對作者特別滿足，故選D。2．A.persuaded B．a(chǎn)dvised C．recommended D．pushed答案：D解析：考查動詞辨析。A.persuaded勸服；B.advised建議；C.recommended舉薦；D.pushed推，對……施加壓力。依據(jù)下文“Theydidn'twanttopushme”可知，他們沒有強迫(push)我去上那所競爭壓力大的學校，故選D。3．A.discourage B．prevent C．inspire D．protect答案：A解析：考查動詞辨析。A.discourage使泄氣；B.prevent阻擋；C.inspire激勵；D.protect愛護。本句句意：事實上，他們?yōu)槲易龅淖詈玫氖虑槭遣患钗易龅酵陚?即阻擋我追求完備)。discourage...from為固定搭配，意為“使某人泄氣，阻擋某人做某事”。故選A。4．A.though B．whether C．unless D．before答案：A解析：考查連詞辨析。A.though即便；B.whether是否；C.unless除非；D.before在……之前。依據(jù)下文的內(nèi)容可知，此處是指“事實上，在小學的時候，即便我拿了C，爸爸也會給我買禮物”。故選A。5．A.happened B．remembered C．remained D．came答案：A解析：考查動詞辨析。A.happened發(fā)生；B.remembered回憶；C.remained保持；D.came到來。本句是指“這事發(fā)生(happen)在我三年級的時候”，故選A。6．A.moved B．reached C．returned D．left答案：A解析：考查動詞辨析。A.moved搬家；B.reached到達；C.returned返回；D.left離開。依據(jù)“AnonlychildinanAsianfamily”可知，作者是亞洲人。因此本句句意是“我剛從臺灣搬(move)到洛杉磯”，故選A。7．A.anger B．embarrassment C．guilt D．worry答案：D解析：考查名詞辨析。A.anger生氣；B.embarrassment尷尬；C.guilt內(nèi)疚；D.worry擔憂。依據(jù)空后的“Seeingmyanxiety”以及下文“myworriesandpressure”可知，我對我的壞成果有所擔憂(worry)，故選D。8．A.higher B．less C．lower D．fewer答案：C解析：考查形容詞辨析。A.higher更高的；B.less更低的；C.lower較低的；D.fewer較少的。依據(jù)“Ifyouscorehigherthanthat,Iwon'tbuyyouanything”可知，假如成果比C好的話就不買禮物，可知假如得到C或更低(lower)，會買禮物。故選C。9．A.accept B．receive C．need D．take答案：C解析：考查動詞辨析。A.accept接受；B.receive收到；C.need須要；D.take拿。本句是說，假如你考得不好，我會買禮物來勸慰你，假如你考得比較好，我什么都不會買給你的，因為你不須要(need)，故選C。10．A.normal B．ordinary C．general D．typical答案：D解析：考查形容詞辨析。A.normal正常的；B.ordinary一般的；C.general一般的；D.typical典型的。通過上文爸爸的話可看出作者的父母并不是典型的(typical)亞洲虎爸虎媽，故選D。11．A.piled B．gaveC．removed D．dealt答案：C解析：考查動詞辨析。A.piled積累；B.gave給；C.removed去除；D.dealt處理。此處是指令人驚異的是，爸爸的這種做法消退(remove)了我的擔憂和壓力。故選C
