9、utput,we need to control what we eatthe input(输入).That is,we tend to care about the output but not to control the input.This is a bad way to construct goals.The alternative is to focus your resolution on the input.Instead of resolving to lose weight,try an actionable resolution:“Ill stop having dess
10、ert for lunch,”or “Ill walk every day for 20 minutes.”Creating a goal that focuses on a well-specified input will likely be more effective than concentrating on the outcome.Recently a new science behind incentives(激励),including in education,has been discussed.For example,researcher Roland Fryer want
11、ed to see what works best in motivating children to do better in school.In some cases,he gave students incentives based on input,like reading certain books,while in others,the incentives were based on output,like results on exams.His main finding was that incentives increased achievement when based
12、on input but had no effect when based on output.Fryers conclusion was that the incentives for inputs might be more effective because students do not know how to do better on an exam,aside from general rules like “study harder”.Reading certain books,on the other hand,is a well-set task over which the
13、y have much more control.As long as you have direct control over your goal,you have a much higher chance of success.And its easier to start again if you fail,because you know exactly what you need to do.If you want to cut down on your spending,a good goal would be making morning coffee at home inste
14、ad of going to a caf,for example.This is a well-specified action-based goal for which you can measure your success easily.Spending less money isnt a goal because its too general.Similarly,if you want to spend more time with your family,dont stop with this general wish.Think about an actionable habit
15、 that you could adopt and stick to,like a family movie night every Wednesday.In the long run,these new goals could become a habit.1.The writer thinks that setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake because.A.it is hard to achieve for most AmericansB.it is focused too much on the resultC.it is depend
16、ent on too many thingsD.it is based on actionable decisions2.In Roland Fryers research,some students did better than the others because.A.they obeyed all the general rulesB.they paid more attention to examsC.they were motivated by their classmatesD.they were rewarded for reading some books3.Accordin

20、e I can do the job well if you get the position.Im looking forward for your reply.Yours faithfully,Li Hua一、单句填空1.it句意:这个问题使我非常困惑,以至于我暂停了一下,为的是把它弄清楚。考查代词。设空处需填代词,代替前面的The problem。2.cant句意:你知道David在哪里吗?他不在办公室。噢,他不可能走远他的大衣还在这里呢。考查情态动词。cant have done不可能做某事,表示对过去情况的否定推测。3.gradually句意:在护士们的精心照料下,这个男孩正在逐渐地
21、从心脏手术中康复。考查副词。分析句子结构可知,此处需用副词修饰recovering。gradually 副词,表示“逐渐地”。4.of句意:由于近期的坏天气,项目滞后于计划好几周了。考查介词短语。because of 由于,符合句意。5.tastes句意:妈妈,我不想服药。噢,宝贝,你应当知道“良药苦口利于病”。考查动词时态。根据语境可知,此处应用一般现在时,又因taste的逻辑主语为medicine,故此处用tastes。6.what句意:究竟应该把这个新出生的生物叫什么,这让那些聪明的科学家们也犯了难。这种生物看上去半人半兽。It是形式主语,空格处引导的是主语从句,且在从句中充当call的
22、宾语,故填what。7.out句意:我能听到说话声,但是我听不出他们在说什么。你为什么不走过去呢?对你又没有任何伤害。考查动词短语。make out辨认出,辨别出。此处表达辨别出他们具体说的是什么。8.what句意:当问起他们最需要什么时,孩子们说他们想得到重视和关爱。考查名词性从句。空格处引导的是宾语从句,且在从句中充当need的宾语,故用what。9.casually句意:旧电池即使在不能继续使用的情况下也不能随意扔掉,因为它们会污染环境。考查副词。此处应该用副词来修饰be discarded。casually随意地,随便地。10.that句意:毫无疑问当全球经济形势仍不明朗的时候,201
23、3年会带来更多的变化。考查同位语从句。分析句子结构可知空格处引导的是同位语从句,从句的意思完整,应该用that引导,构成固定句式:There is no doubt that.。二、语法填空语篇解读本文是一则童话故事。主要讲述了小猪露露想办法把一个又大又圆的西瓜运回家的故事。1.summer考查名词。下文提到“田地里长出了很多又大又圆的西瓜”,此处表示“夏天到来了”,故答案为summer。2.burning考查词形转换。此处为系表结构,故答案为v.-ing形式burning。3.happily考查词形转换。根据空格前面的said可以得知,此处需要用副词形式happily作状语修饰谓语动词,表示
24、“高兴地说”。4.to find考查非谓语动词。此处考查be+adj.+to do的句式。5.biggest考查形容词的最高级。根据空格前面的one of the可以得知,此处需要用形容词big的最高级形式。6.but考查连词。此处表转折,故用but。7.was playing考查动词。上文提到“突然,小猪看到猴子皮皮”,此处表示“看到他正在玩一个环”,故用过去进行时。误解分析:此题考生易误填入played。解答此题的关键是要注意上文语境中的saw,即此处表示“看到正在做某事”,故需要用进行时。8.on考查介词。pat sb on the head表示“轻拍某人的头”,此处表示“露露拍了拍自己
25、的头”。9.it考查代词。此处代指上文提到的the watermelon,故用代词it。10.After/When考查连词。根据语义可知此处用连词after或者when引导时间状语从句。三、阅读理解语篇解读本文为议论文,题材为设定目标。作者认为“减肥”不是一个很有效的目标,并具体解释了设立什么样的目标更加有效。1.B细节理解题。根据第二段第一、二句“To reach our goal of losing weightthe output,we need to control what we eatthe input.That is,we tend to care about the outpu
26、t but not to control the input.”可知将减肥设定为目标过于注重输出,输出output相当于结果result,故选择B项。2.D细节理解题。通读第三段的相关内容特别是最后一句可知本题应选择D项。3.A推理判断题。根据文章第二段最后一句“Creating a goal that focuses on a well-specified input will likely be more effective than concentrating on the outcome.”可知设立目标应具体化,不能过于关注结果。四个选项中A项“我要放弃甜食”很具体,是一个很好的目标;
27、B项“我要更努力地学习”,C项“我要削减开支”和D项“我要花更多的时间陪家人”都很笼统,不容易实施,故选择A项。4.C观点态度题。作者在文章的倒数第二段举例说明了设立目标应挑选具体的行动,最后一段又再次强调“In the long run,these new goals could become a habit.”长远来看,这些新的目标(具体的行动)能成为一种习惯。因此本题选择C项。四、短文改错1.第一段第二句中的learning改为learn考查非谓语动词。be glad to do sth.高兴做某事,故to后面接动词原形。2.第一段第二句中的reporter改为reporters考查名词
28、。a few修饰名词的复数,所以用reporters。3.第二段第一句中的a改为the考查冠词。指前面提到的记者的工作,所以用定冠词the。4.第二段第二句中的but改为and考查行文逻辑。前后分句在逻辑上为顺承关系,所以用and。5.第二段第三句中的good改为well考查固定短语。do well in sth.为固定短语,意为“在某方面干得好”。6.第二段第四句中的along后加with考查固定短语。get along with sb.“和某人相处”,为固定短语,with的宾语是me。7.第二段第四句中的work改为working考查非谓语动词。enjoy后面接动词-ing形式。8.第二段第五句中的have去掉考查时态。根据句意可知曾经当过记者,这一动作是过去的事情,所以用一般过去时。9.第二段第六句中的you改为I考查代词。前面提到是“我”在申请工作,所以用I。10.第二段第七句中的for改为to考查固定短语。look forward to“盼望”,为固定短语。
