B．Recovered.C．Usedup. D．Changed.答案：C解析：词义揣测题。依据前句“Ifyouthinkofwillpowerassomethingthat'slimited,you'remorelikelytobetiredwhenyouperformadifficulttask”可知假如你认为意志力是有限的东西，在执行困难的任务时，你更可能会乏累；本句中的But是关键词，说明与上句形成转折，所以此处是指假如你认为意志力很难被耗尽，那么你就可以坚持下去。故C项正确。3．Thefollowinggroupscanbenefitfromthefindingsexcept.A．patientsfollowingstrictdietsB．childrenlikingtowatchTVC．smokerstryingtogiveupsmokingD．employeesfacinganewbutwell­paidtask答案：D解析：推理推断题。依据文章最终一段中“Thefindingscouldhelppeoplewhoare...facingatoughtask.”可知选D。4．Whydoestheauthorwritethetext?A．Toexplainthepowerofwillpower.B．Toshowushowtobuildwillpower.C．Totellusthewaysofgainingwillpower.D．Tointroduceanewtheoryonwillpower.答案：D解析：写作意图题。作者在其次段里介绍了以前人们对意志力的看法，第三段第一句“Butpsychologistshavechallengedthistheory,sayingweakwillpowerisinyourhead.”告知我们心理学家有了新的观点，下文主要介绍了关于意志力的新的发觉。所以本文介绍了关于意志力的一种新的理论。故D项正确。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.本文为记叙文。作者的父母不像那种典型的亚裔式的虎爸虎妈，给孩子施压，迫使孩子努力取得好成果，而是给他宽容的教化，希望他欢乐健康。正是这种教化给了作者自行培育进取心的空间，以及实现目标的健康心理。这也是父母给作者的两件最珍贵的礼物。1．A.friends B．classmates C．teachers D．parents答案：D解析：考查名词辨析。A.friends挚友；B.classmates同学；C.teachers老师；D.parents父母。依据下文描述可知，此处是说父母(parents)对作者特别满足，故选D。2．A.persuaded B．advised C．recommended D．pushed答案：D解析：考查动词辨析。A.persuaded劝服；B.advised建议；C.recommended举荐；D.pushed推，对……施加压力。依据下文“Theydidn'twanttopushme”可知，他们没有强迫(push)我去上那所竞争压力大的学校，故选D。3．A.discourage B．prevent C．inspire D．protect答案：A解析：考查动词辨析。A.discourage使泄气；B.prevent阻挡；C.inspire激励；D.protect爱护。本句句意：事实上，他们为我做的最好的事情是不激励我做到完备(即阻挡我追求完备)。discourage...from为固定搭配，意为“使某人泄气，阻挡某人做某事”。故选A。4．A.though B．whether C．unless D．before答案：A解析：考查连词辨析。A.though即便；B.whether是否；C.unless除非；D.before在……之前。依据下文的内容可知，此处是指“事实上，在小学的时候，即便我拿了C，爸爸也会给我买礼物”。故选A。5．A.happened B．remembered C．remained D．came答案：A解析：考查动词辨析。A.happened发生；B.remembered回忆；C.remained保持；D.came到来。本句是指“这事发生(happen)在我三年级的时候”，故选A。6．A.moved B．reached C．returned D．left答案：A解析：考查动词辨析。A.moved搬家；B.reached到达；C.returned返回；D.left离开。依据“AnonlychildinanAsianfamily”可知，作者是亚洲人。因此本句句意是“我刚从台湾搬(move)到洛杉矶”，故选A。7．A.anger B．embarrassment C．guilt D．worry答案：D解析：考查名词辨析。A.anger生气；B.embarrassment尴尬；C.guilt内疚；D.worry担忧。依据空后的“Seeingmyanxiety”以及下文“myworriesandpressure”可知，我对我的坏成果有所担忧(worry)，故选D。8．A.higher B．less C．lower D．fewer答案：C解析：考查形容词辨析。A.higher更高的；B.less更低的；C.lower较低的；D.fewer较少的。依据“Ifyouscorehigherthanthat,Iwon'tbuyyouanything”可知，假如成果比C好的话就不买礼物，可知假如得到C或更低(lower)，会买礼物。故选C。9．A.accept B．receive C．need D．take答案：C解析：考查动词辨析。A.accept接受；B.receive收到；C.need须要；D.take拿。本句是说，假如你考得不好，我会买礼物来劝慰你，假如你考得比较好，我什么都不会买给你的，因为你不须要(need)，故选C。10．A.normal B．ordinary C．general D．typical答案：D解析：考查形容词辨析。A.normal正常的；B.ordinary一般的；C.general一般的；D.typical典型的。通过上文爸爸的话可看出作者的父母并不是典型的(typical)亚洲虎爸虎妈，故选D。11．A.piled B．gaveC．removed D．dealt答案：C解析：考查动词辨析。A.piled积累；B.gave给；C.removed去除；D.dealt处理。此处是指令人惊异的是，爸爸的这种做法消退(remove)了我的担忧和压力。故选C
