【解析】1.细节事实题。根据文章第一段Thereisnothingmoreexhaustingthannotsucceedingbeingblocked,notmovingahead.Itisanevilcircle.Failurebreedsfatigue,andfatiguemakesithardertogettowork,whichaddstothefatigue.可知失败会导致疲惫，而疲惫会使你更难工作，进而导致疲惫加重，于是进入恶性循环，受阻不前，影响进度。因此，B项正确。

2.推理判断题。根据文章第二段Intheformercase,wekeepputtingoffataskthatweareforcedtotakeup.Eitherbecauseitistootediousorbecauseitistoodifficult,weavoidit.可知，我们会因为任务过于乏味或太难而推迟完成任务，这种情况就是start-upfatigue。因此，C项正确。

3.细节事实题。根据文章第三段Theremedyisobvious,thoughperhapsnoteasytoapply:willpowerexercise.可知，解决办法就是需要我们加强意志力的锻炼。因此，本题选择D项正确。

4.词汇题。题干词汇insurmountable意思是不能克服的，难以解决超越的。A选项“不能被解决”，B选项“不能被理解的”，C选项“不能被想象的”，D选项“不能被否决的”。因此，A选项正确。

5.推理判断题。由文章第二段可知可以通过锻炼意志力来克服start-upfatigue可知A项正确。B选项可通过原文Herewearewillingtogetstarted,butwecan’tseemtodothejobright.推断得出。C选项在原文中没有明确说明，过于绝对。根据原文最后一段Themountingexperienceoffailurecarrieswithitanever-increasingburdenofmentalfatigue.可知D选项正确。故本题正确答案为C选项。

【答案】第1题:B

第2题:C

第3题:B

第4题:B

第5题:D

【解析】1.细节事实题。由原文第一段ProfessorKlineconcludesthatcompetitionwithresearchintheuniversitiesissodetrimentaltoteachingthatthetwofunctionsbephysicallyandfinanciallyseparatedbysettingupresearchinstitutes.，可知，ProfessorKline认为研究成果的竞争会对教育产生负面的影响，从而降低教学质量，即对教学有不利影响。因此，B项为正确答案。

2.细节事实题。由原文…thedevelopmentofasoundprogramofeducationalresearchwouldbemuchmorebeneficialtoteaching.以及Educationalresearchshouldberequiredtomeetthesamestandardsasscientificresearch…可知，作者认为必须提高educationalresearch的地位，要把educationalresearch和scientificresearch放在同等重要的位置共谋发展。A选项researchinstitutes一直就是学校比较重视的方面；B选项并未在文中单独说明；D选项也不是侧重点。因此，C项符合原文，为正确答案。

3.观点态度题。由原文Educationalresearchshouldberequiredtomeetthesamestandardsasscientificresearch,butitcannotberaisedtothosestandardswithoutcomparablesupportandcommitment.可知，作者认为教育研究应该与科学研究有一样的标准，但是如果没有同等的投入和支持，无法实现这些标准。因此，B项认为“科学研究的有些标准，教育研究无法实现”是正确答案。故本题选择B项。

4.细节事实题。根据原文Letnoonethinkthateducationalresearchiseasy:itisconcernedwithnolessthanunravelingthecomplexitiesofthehumanmind.可知，作者认为教育研究并不简单，难度不亚于解开人类思维的复杂性。故本题正确答案为B项。

5.细节事实题。通过原文Therelativelytrivialeducationalresearchsocommonintheuniversitiesisaninevitableconsequenceoftrivialcommitmentbytheuniversities.Ratherthanbelittlesuchresearch,theprofessorshaveanobligationtoseethatitisupgraded.可知，如今在大学中，教育研究需要更多的承诺，教授们有责任促进教学科研水平的提高，而不是减少这类研究。因此，D项是正确答案。

【答案】第1题:C

第2题:A

第3题:B

第4题:D

第5题:A

【解析】1.推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Thereisadirectrelationship,”UScongressmanNealSmithnoted,“betweentheamountofsodiumapersonconsumesandheartdisease,circulatorydisorders,strokeandevenearlydeath.”可知：一些医生和政客认为钠的摄入量和身体健康有直接关系，并会引发多种疾病，甚至早逝。说明他们认为食盐的摄入量与某些疾病的发生息息相关，因此，C项正确。

2.推理判断题。根据文章第二段Dustan'smostrecentshort-termstudyof150peopleshowedthatthosewithnormalbloodpressureexperiencednochangeatallwhenplacedonanextremelylow-saltdiet,orlaterwhensalt,wasreintroduced.Ofthehypertensivesubjects,however,halfofthoseonthelow-saltdietdidexperienceadropinbloodpressure,whichreturnedtoitspreviouslevelwhensaltwasreintroduced.可知：在Dustan研究中，当摄取极低的少盐饮食或者恢复食用食盐时，血压正常的人不会有什么改变。然而，在高血压人群中，少盐饮食中一半的人确实出现血压下降，而再次恢复食盐的摄入时，血压会返回到之前的水平。因此，A项“低盐饮食可能适合某些人”表述正确。B项和D项错误。文章并没有谈及“减少食盐摄入量可能治愈高血压”，故C项错误。

3.推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Soarecommendationthatthewholepopulationshouldavoidsaltmakesnosense•”可知：医生不应该建议人们不吃盐，因此，B选项符合题意，为正确答案。

4.词汇题。根据原文倒数第二段buteventheveryvocal“lowsalt”exponent,Dr.ArthurHullHayes,Dr.admitsthat...可知：就连“低盐论”最主要的支持者，Arthur博士都承认盐的摄入量是否与髙血压有关。所以最恰当的理解应该是强烈支持者。因此，D项为正确答案。

5.主旨大意题。本文主要讨论了食盐摄入量与人体健康的关系。通过人们对于盐的恐慌引出相关话题，最后表明“除非医生告知你有与摄取盐分相关的健康问题，否则，没有理由不摄取食盐”。由此可知，食盐恐慌是不合理的，A项为正确答案。

【答案】第1题:D

第2题:B

第3题:C

第4题:A

第5题:B

【解析】1.细节事实题。根据文章第一句话“Psychologiststakeopposingviewsofhowexternalrewards,fromwarmpraisetocoldcash,aflectmotivationandcreativity”可知，心理学家对于外部奖励（不论是精神鼓励还是物质奖励）如何影响动机和创造力持对立观点。因此，心理学家因“外部奖励对学生行为的影响持不同态度”而分成两派。本题正确答案为D项。

2.推理判断题。文章第一段介绍了Behaviorists和Cognitiveresearchers的两种不同观点。而由文章第二段第一句话Thelatterviewhasgainedmanysupporters,especiallyamongeducators.可知，后者的观点，也就是Cognitiveresearchers获得了很多的支持，尤其是在教育工作者中。他们认为奖赏会摧毁创造力。因此，大多数教育工作者对给予学生的外部奖励持否定态度。正确答案为B项。

3.推理判断题。在文章第三段中，theUniversityofDelaware的RobertEisenberger表述了自己对于奖励机制的观点。他认为如果孩子们知道是为得到奖励而学习，并能专注完成相对有挑战性的任务，他们就会表现出最大的创造性。但如果对表现不好的孩子也给予奖励，或者让他们对奖励有过分的期待，那么就很容易扼杀他们的创造力。因此，只有奖励该得奖励的孩子，才能发挥其创造性，正确答案为C项。

4.推理判断题。题干：大学正试图严格评分标准是因为他们认为什么？由文章第四段Asanexampleofthelatterpoint,henotesgrowingeffortsatmajoruniversitiestotightengradingstandardsandrestorefailinggrades.可知，重点大学加强分级标准是因为“thelatterpoint”，也就是第三段中提及的it’seasytokillcreativitybygivingrewardsforpoorperformanceorcreatingtoomuchanticipationforrewards这一观点，因此A项符合题意。

5.考查词汇题。分析tokeneconomies后的定语从句inwhichstudentshandlechallengingproblemsandreceiveperformance-basedpointstowardvaluedrewards,showspromiseinraisingeffortandcreativity.可知，在这种机制下，学生能解决富有挑战性的任务并且获得奖励，这将有望提高学生的努力度和创造性。因此，本题正确答案为B项“奖励学生的机制”。

第4题:B

第5题:C

【解析】1.考查细节事实题。文章第一段介绍了美国人对于幼儿教育的态度，根据原文“Moreover,Americansdomorethandebatetheirtheories;theytranslatethemintoaction.”可知，美国人不仅仅辩论他们的理论，而且也采取行动。因此，C项hadwide-rangingresults“有广泛的结果”符合题意，故本题选C。

2.考查细节事实题。根据文章第二段中的Infact,untilveryrecentlypeopleconsideredchildhoodjustabrief,unimportantpreludetoadulthoodandtherealbusinessofliving.可知，事实上，不久前人们只把儿童时期看作是一个简短且不重要的人生阶段。直到现在，幼儿教育才开始引起重视。因此，C项为正确答案。

4.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中Becausehumanyoungtakesolongtobecomeindependent,wethinkthatcivilizationmayhavegrownuparoundtheneedtofeedandprotectthem可知，文化的进步源于对孩子的培养和保护，所以，孩子在一定程度上推动了文化的进步。因此，B项为正确答案。

5.观点态度题。文章主要讲述了美国人对孩子的教育由从以前的不重视转为现在的非常重视，并且采取了一系列的相关措施。因此，作者对这一转变持有积极的态度。A项为讽刺的，B项为漠视的，C项为积极的，D项为中立的。因此，C项为正确答案。

15.单选题
