【導語】這是一篇說明文。文章主要講述意志力并不是與生俱來的，而是通過后天的訓練，并文章根據(jù)不同性格

的人給出訓練意志力的方法。

【1題詳解】

考查代詞。句意：當你閃亮的新年決心開始破滅時，告訴自己自我控制并不是你的強項，這是很誘人的。分析句

子可知，此空應填人稱代詞作間接賓語，再根據(jù)語意和后文“yourstrongpoint”可知，應填反身代詞yourself。故

填yourself?

【2題詳解】

考查時態(tài)語態(tài)。句意：但是，根據(jù)一項科學研究，意志力并不是少數(shù)幸運兒與生俱來的天賦。分析句子可知，這

里考查bebornwith表"與生俱來"，為固定結(jié)構(gòu)，且這里時態(tài)應與前面保持一致用一般現(xiàn)在時。故填areborn。

【3題詳解】

考查非謂語。句意：在任何特定情況下，我們的意志力水平都會根據(jù)我們的動機而波動。分析句子可知，這里考

查ingivensituation表''在特定情境下”，為固定結(jié)構(gòu)，situation和give為被動關系，所以這里應用過去分詞作定

語。故填given。

【4題詳解】

考查連詞。句意：盡管你不想為新一年翻開新的一頁，但培養(yǎng)意志力是一個好主意，正如心理學家沃爾特?米舍

爾在20世紀60年代和70年代所展示的那樣。分析句子可知，此空應填連詞構(gòu)成狀語從句，且前后兩句有轉(zhuǎn)折關

系，再根據(jù)句意可知，這里可填Although/Though/While構(gòu)成讓步狀語從句。故填Although/Though/While。

【5題詳解】

考查時態(tài)語態(tài)。句意：在他著名的研究中，一組四歲的孩子現(xiàn)在可以選擇一種甜食，而如果他們能等15分鐘，可

以選擇兩種。分析句子可知，此空應填謂語動詞，主語agroupoffour-year-olds為復數(shù)，和。ffer是被動關系，且

時態(tài)與后文theycouldwait15minutes保持一致，用一■般過去時。故填wereoffered?

【6題詳解】

考查非謂語。句意：瑞安說，為了最大限度地提高我們堅持決心的機會，我們應該確定自己的“意志力”。分析句

子可知，這里應填非謂語，再根據(jù)句意可知，應填不定式作目的狀語。故填Tomaximize。

【7題詳解】

考查非謂語。句意：對于內(nèi)向的人來說，安排時間反思自己的進步，比如記日記，可能會有所幫助。分析句子可

知，這里應填動名詞作主語。故填scheduling。

【8題詳解】

考查冠詞。句意：對于外向的人來說，b報名參加像Parkrun或WeightWatchers這些每個人都有一個共同目標的團

體活動可以幫助你增強決心，與他人分享哪怕是一點點進步也可以。分析句子可知，acommongoal表“一個共同

目標”，這里表泛指應用不定冠詞。故填a。

【9題詳解】

考查定語從句。句意：你需要學習核心技能，以應對激活你尋求獎勵的反應的觸發(fā)和線索。分析句子可知，這里

考查定語從句，先行詞為triggersandcues,在從句中作主語。故填that/which。

【10題詳解】

考查介詞。句意：它是關于應對誘惑的，誘惑通常來自于環(huán)境：作為激勵磁鐵挑戰(zhàn)你意志力的人、地方或事物。

分析句子可知，這里考查actas表"擔任……角色”，為固定搭配。故填as。

【導語】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了亞馬遜上的電子書定價比紙質(zhì)書高，為什么越來越多的人購買電子書

呢?本文分析了在數(shù)字時代，電子書的優(yōu)點和缺點。優(yōu)點是它具有便利舒適的使用體驗，比紙質(zhì)書更耐用，查閱起來

也更方便。但缺點是買家們無法真正得到擁有權(quán)，因為法律不允許他們像紙質(zhì)書那樣出借或轉(zhuǎn)賣電子書。

[11題詳解】

考查副詞。句意：你會多花一美元而不能實際擁有這些書。根據(jù)空后的。wn可知，空處為副詞，修飾動詞。wn。

再根據(jù)上文內(nèi)容“IfyouweretobuytheCompleteWorksofPrimoLevionAmazon,thepriceis$58.40.If,however,you

preferredtodownloadittoyoure-reader,youwouldneedtopay$59,49."可知，電子書比紙質(zhì)書價格高些，而電子書

并不像紙質(zhì)書那樣可以有實際上的擁有。physically,副詞，意為“身體上、實際上”，符合句意。故選E。

【12題詳解】

考查動詞。句意：亞馬遜承認收到了郵件，但暫時沒有回復。分析句子成分可知，空處為本句謂語動詞，再根據(jù)

but之后的didn't可知，時態(tài)為-一般過去時。所有選項中只有H形式上符合。acknowledged,動詞的-一般過去式，

意為“承認、認可”，符合句意，故選H。

【13題詳解】

考查動詞。句意：首先，我們己經(jīng)達到了數(shù)字版本不會讓我們失望的地步。分析上下文可知，本段是在舉例說明

人們越來越傾向選擇電子虛擬產(chǎn)品的原因。根據(jù)下文“Infact,thedigitalcopyismoredurableIhanthehardone,as

anyonewhohasscratchedaCDwouldlikelyagree.,,可知，下文提到的是電子產(chǎn)品的優(yōu)勢。所以空處指的是不會讓我

們失望。fail,動詞原形，意為“失敗、使失望”，符合上下文內(nèi)容。故選F。
