Question

【題目】Procrastination is something that many people have experienced at some point in their life. The word comes from the Latin words “pro” meaning“for”and“cras”meaning “tomorrow”. But it can be more than just putting off work or a later time; it can be about giving up long-term goals for short-term desires(欲望).

A new phrase has been going around Chinese social media lately, with people describing themselves as “active losers”. It means that they set themselves many goals, but they always find excuses, and never really achieve them. In fact, they are just acing serious procrastination.

I once knew someone in my college who had to drop out (退學(xué)) because he preferred video games to study. He went to all his classes and was an active member of school clubs. However, his mind was never really on task. He spent all his free time playing games and believed he could still achieve good grades by "finishing the work tomorrow. That “tomorrow”was the end of the semester, and my college had to ask him to “take a break”.

For those of you who think: “ I'll never procrastinate that badly,” I ask you this: “When did you last set a fitness goal? A weight goal? A reading goal? How many years has it been?”Although a fitness goal may not be so important as school grades, it does not mean the goal should drag on for years. So stop making excuses for yourself; take actions right now and achieve your goals.

【1】The underlined word “procrastination” means _____in Chinese.

A. 妄想癥B. 拖延癥C. 強(qiáng)迫癥D. 多動(dòng)癥

【2】We can infer from the second paragraph that active losers are lack of (缺乏) ____.

【解析】

這是一篇說明文，主要介紹拖延癥。拖延癥的表現(xiàn)，影響及建議。

【1】詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第一段The word comes from the Latin words “pro” meaning “for” and “cras” meaning “tomorrow”. But it can be more than just putting off work or a later time; it can be about giving up long-term goals for short-term desires(欲望)的解釋，個(gè)詞來自拉丁語“pro”，意為“為了”，“cras”意為“明天”，但這可能不僅僅是推遲工作或推遲時(shí)間;它可以是為了短期的欲望而放棄長(zhǎng)期的目標(biāo)，可知Procrastination是拖延癥的意思。故選B。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段It means that they set themselves many goals, but they always find excuses, and never really achieve them. 這意味著他們給自己設(shè)定了很多目標(biāo)，但他們總是找借口，從來沒有真正實(shí)現(xiàn)它們�？芍�active losers（積極廢人），有目標(biāo)但是無法實(shí)踐去實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)，由此推斷他們?nèi)狈ψ钥亓Γ�故選D。

【3】主旨大意題。第三段通過舉例子，一個(gè)有拖延癥的學(xué)生，雖然表現(xiàn)的很活躍，實(shí)際上他把精力都放在了游戲上，最終導(dǎo)致學(xué)業(yè)失敗�？芍�這一段主要強(qiáng)調(diào)拖延癥對(duì)學(xué)生生活的影響，故選B。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一句So stop making excuses for yourself; take actions right now and achieve your goals. 所以不要為自己找借口;現(xiàn)在就采取行動(dòng)，實(shí)現(xiàn)你的目標(biāo)�？芍�作者建議我們開始朝著我們的目標(biāo)努力，故選D。

【5】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段描述可知For those of you who think: “ I'll never procrastinate that badly,” I ask you this: “When did you last set a fitness goal? A weight goal? A reading goal? How many years has it been?”Although a fitness goal may not be so important as school grades, it does not mean the goal should drag on for years.可知有些人沒有意識(shí)到自己拖延癥的問題，故選C。
