44、lf and youll find how strong you are How strong are you?That is a tough question to answer both to a man and a woman.But how do you define your strength?How do you know your limits?1When push comes to press,we often discover that we are much stronger than we think.2Strength is not always about pure
45、physical strength.Rather,it is about willpower.It is about the capacity to get things done.I know some people who are intellectually strong,but they get very little done in their jobs.And I know others who find work extremely challenging,but are able to move mountains by their full drive and hard wo
46、rk.They possess inner strength.More interesting is that these productive hard-workers often dont even notice the load.Bystanders are not only amazed but often ask,“How do you do it?”The answer usually comes back,“I just work harder than the others.”So,why are some people able to do more?What gives t
47、hem added drive?What gives them extra strength?Could it be,they have simply given themselves permission to do more?Self-set limits.3Sometimes these boundaries are based on past experiences.Sometimes they are based on sensed capacities.Sometimes these limits are based on nothing.So,how do we break th
48、rough these limits?How do we get stronger?Pushing it.Many people are going through the motions,but are nowhere near their limits.4Pushing it is what it takes to increase your limits.In the gym,bodybuilders discovered this long ago.But,the same principle is true when it comes to inner strength.Discip
49、line and drive.Want to test your limits?Push yourself.Test your self-aware limitation to see how accurate they are.Make sure your goals are slightly beyond what you think can be achieved.You are stronger than you think.Most people underestimate their strength.As you go through your day,challenge you
50、r capacity.Test your limits.Push yourself to find your true boundaries and define your strength.5A.What is Strength?B.Can you be sure if you havent tried?C.How do you know just how much youve got?D.If you want to be stronger,you have to push your boundaries.E.What I have observed is that most people
51、 set their own limits.F.When you discover how much youve really got,you may surprise even yourself.G.They limit their output based on self-built limitation of their capabilities and strengths.【文章大意】这是一篇议论文。论述了不逼自己一把就不知道自己有多厉害的观点以及为何给自己加压的道理。1.【解析】选C。过渡句,根据该段小标题How strong are you?和其前的两句But how do you
52、 define your strength?How do you know your limits?可知how do you.是连续的排比句,C项How do you know just how much youve got?无论从上下文句意还是结构上都一致。2.【解析】选A。段首句,该段后边讲的都是力量是什么,或者与什么有关,故开头句应该是提出问题,且与力量有关,故选A项合适。3.【解析】选E。过渡句,该段小标题是Self-set limits,所以E项的What I have observed is that most people set their own limits.承接了上下文;
53、空后句Sometimes these boundaries are based on past experiences.中的these boundaries 也应该是从上文这句引出的。G项They limit their output based on self-built limitation of their capabilities and strengths.虽然也谈到设限,但这里的they指代不明,上文没有出处,故不合适。4.【解析】选D。过渡句,该段首句Pushing it 逼自己一把,空后Pushing it is what it takes to increase your limits.需要的就是逼自己一把来增强你的极限,所以承上启下就是If you want to be stronger,you have to push your boundaries.如果你想要变得更强大就得逼自己一把。5.【解析】选F。段尾总结句,本段首句You are stronger than you think.你比自己想象的更坚强,后边讲如果你逼迫自己突破自己的极限,那么就可以实现目标,甚至会令自己吃惊。(When you discover how much youve really got,you may surprise even yourself.)
