Question

【題目】 Why are some people so successful in reaching their goals? Research on achievement suggests that successful people reach their goals not simply because of who they are, but more of ten because of what they do. 【1】

【2】 “Lose 5 pounds” is a better goal than “l(fā)ose some weight”, because it gives you a clear idea of what success looks like. Knowing exactly what you want to achieve keeps you motivated until you get there. Also, think about the specific actions that need to be taken to reach your goal. Just promising you’ll “sleep more” is too vague—be clear and precise. “I’ll be in bed by 10pm on weeknights” leaves no room for doubt about what you ought to do.

Meanwhile, you should think positively about achieving your goal. Believing in your ability to succeed is particularly helpful for creating your motivation. 【3】 Studies show that thinking things will come to you easily and effortlessly leaves you ill-prepared for the journey ahead, and significantly increases the possibility of failure.

【4】 You may take on a challenge that requires you to do something you’d honestly rather not do, such as giving up high-fat snacks, or doing 100 sit-ups a day, which will develop your determination to reach your goals. You may start with just one activity, and make a plan for how you will deal with troubles when they occur. 【5】

A. So just look forward confidently and carry on courageously.

B. But whatever you do, don’t ignore the difficulty in reaching your goal.

C. As your strength grows, you can take on more challenges.

D. Here are some ways successful people achieve their goals.

E. Making a plan for reaching your goals takes patience.

F. When you set yourself a goal, try to be as specific as possible.

G. Willpower is another important factor.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】F

【3】B

【4】G

【5】C

【解析】

這是一篇說(shuō)明文。短文介紹了成功人士實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)的一些方法。

【1】由下文“When you set yourself a goal, try to be as specific as possible.

Meanwhile, you should think positively about achieving your goal. Willpower is another important factor.”可知，當(dāng)你給自己設(shè)定一個(gè)目標(biāo)時(shí)，要盡可能具體。同時(shí)，你應(yīng)該積極地去實(shí)現(xiàn)你的目標(biāo)。意志力是你接受挑戰(zhàn)的另一個(gè)重要因素。所以小題1要總領(lǐng)下文。故D選項(xiàng)“以下是成功人士實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)的一些方法”切題。故選D項(xiàng)。

【2】由““Lose 5 pounds” is a better goal than “l(fā)ose some weight”, because it gives you a clear idea of what success looks like. Knowing exactly what you want to achieve keeps you motivated until you get there. Also, think about the specific actions that need to be taken to reach your goal.”可知“減5磅”這個(gè)目標(biāo)比“減一些體重”更好，因?yàn)樗�讓你�?duì)成功有一個(gè)清晰的概念。確切地知道你想要達(dá)到的目標(biāo)會(huì)讓你在實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)之前保持動(dòng)力。同時(shí)，想想你需要采取哪些具體的行動(dòng)來(lái)達(dá)到你的目標(biāo)。所以本段主要在說(shuō)當(dāng)你給自己設(shè)定一個(gè)目標(biāo)時(shí)，要盡可能具體。也就是小題2本段標(biāo)題所要說(shuō)明的內(nèi)容。故F項(xiàng)“當(dāng)你給自己設(shè)定一個(gè)目標(biāo)時(shí)，要盡可能具體”切題。故選F項(xiàng)。

【3】由“ Believing in your ability to succeed is particularly helpful for creating your motivation. ____3____ Studies show that thinking things will come to you easily and effortlessly leaves you ill-prepared for the journey ahead, and significantly increases the possibility of failure.”可知，相信自己有能力成功，這對(duì)激發(fā)你的動(dòng)力特別有幫助。研究表明，你思考的事物會(huì)很容易、毫不費(fèi)力地來(lái)到你身邊，也會(huì)讓使你對(duì)未來(lái)的旅程準(zhǔn)備不足，并顯著增加失敗的可能性。所以小題3既要與前文構(gòu)成轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，又要引起下文。再由B選項(xiàng)“but”可知。B選項(xiàng)“無(wú)論你做什么，都不要忽視實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)的困難”切題。故選B項(xiàng)。

【4】由“You may take on a challenge that requires you to do something you’d honestly rather not do, such as giving up high-fat snacks, or doing 100 sit-ups a day, which will develop your determination to reach your goals”可知，你可能會(huì)接受一個(gè)挑戰(zhàn)，要求你做一些你真心不愿做的事情，例如放棄高脂肪零食，或每天做100個(gè)仰臥起坐，這將培養(yǎng)你實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)的決心。所以本段主要在說(shuō)意志力是實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)的另一個(gè)重要的因素。也就是小題4本段小標(biāo)題所要說(shuō)明的內(nèi)容。故G選項(xiàng)“意志力是實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)的另一個(gè)重要的因素”切題。故選G項(xiàng)。

【5】由“You may start with just one activity, and make a plan for how you will deal with troubles when they occur.”可知，你可以從一個(gè)活動(dòng)開始，然后制定一個(gè)當(dāng)問(wèn)題發(fā)生時(shí)如何處理它們的計(jì)劃。所以小題5要總結(jié)性地說(shuō)明隨著力量的增長(zhǎng)，你可以接受更多的挑戰(zhàn)。故C選項(xiàng)“隨著力量的增長(zhǎng)，你可以接受更多的挑戰(zhàn)”切題。故選C項(xiàng)。

找出句子之間的連接性的詞語(yǔ)是解決7選5題型的重要解題方法，文章的語(yǔ)句間的組合，除了從語(yǔ)句間的意義關(guān)系分析外，還可借助句子之間的連接性詞語(yǔ)來(lái)把握，因?yàn)檫B接性詞語(yǔ)能表明這個(gè)語(yǔ)段句與句之間、層與層之間的基本關(guān)系有承接關(guān)系（如 so, therefore, thus, hence, accordingly, consequently, as a result 等）平列關(guān)系（如first, second, third…; firstly, secondly, thirdly…; first, next, then…; in the first place, in the second place…; for one thing, for another thing…;to begin with, to conclude 等）。轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系（如 however, nevertheless, nonetheless, still, though, yet, in spite of, at any rate, in any case, whoever, whatever on the contrary, in contrast, by contrast, in comparison, by comparison, conversely, otherwise ，but等）。層遞關(guān)系（如 also, further, furthermore, likewise, similarly, moreover, in addition, what’s more, too, either, neither, not…but…, not only…but also 等）。

由“ Believing in your ability to succeed is particularly helpful for creating your motivation. ____3____ Studies show that thinking things will come to you easily and effortlessly leaves you ill-prepared for the journey ahead, and significantly increases the possibility of failure.”可知，相信自己有能力成功，這對(duì)激發(fā)你的動(dòng)力特別有幫助。研究表明，你思考的事物會(huì)很容易、毫不費(fèi)力地來(lái)到你身邊，也會(huì)讓你對(duì)未來(lái)的旅程準(zhǔn)備不足，并顯著增加失敗的可能性。所以小題3既要與前文構(gòu)成轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，又要引導(dǎo)下文。再由B選項(xiàng)“but”可知，B選項(xiàng)“無(wú)論你做什么，都不要忽視實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)的困難”切題。故選B項(xiàng)。
