Question

【題目】閱讀下面短文，在空白處填入1個(gè)適當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~或括號(hào)內(nèi)單詞的正確形式。

When we wake up feeling sleepy and with dark circles under eyes, many of us often think: “I’m going to go to bed earlier tomorrow!” But however determined we are, chances are 【1】 we don’t stick to our promise. This behavior 【2】(call) “bedtime procrastination (拖延癥)” is common in our daily life.

In a study, 53 percent of the 2,400 【3】(participate) said they didn’t follow their sleep schedule, delaying it at least twice 【4】 week. It is found that they delayed bedtime not because they liked to stay up late, but they couldn’t stop 【5】(do) other unimportant things, which were keeping them up in the first place.

“People who generally have trouble resisting temptations and sticking to their intentions are more likely to delay going to bed.” Floor Kroese, a psychologist 【6】(far) explained to HufPost.

Yet, according to scientists, lack of self-control is not the only thing 【7】(blame). Our body clock also plays an important role when 【8】comes to bed time. To check the influence of the body clock 【9】 sleep, scientists studied the sleep patterns of 108 people. It has been found that those who get up late 【10】(be) more likely to postpone their bedtime than those who wake early every morning. The choices we make that affect our sleep could turn out to be pretty important for our health.

【解析】

這是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章講述了日常生活中，人們總是熬夜這一現(xiàn)象，并分析了原因。

【1】

考查表語(yǔ)從句引導(dǎo)詞。__1_ we don’t stick to our promise是一個(gè)表語(yǔ)從句，從句不缺任何成分，也沒(méi)有實(shí)際意義，應(yīng)用引導(dǎo)詞that。故填that。

【2】

考查過(guò)去分詞。本句已有系動(dòng)詞is，且無(wú)連詞，此處用非謂語(yǔ)形式，名詞短語(yǔ)This behavior和動(dòng)詞call是邏輯上的被動(dòng)關(guān)系，應(yīng)用過(guò)去分詞表被動(dòng)，作名詞短語(yǔ)This behavior的后置定語(yǔ)。故填called。

【3】

考查名詞的數(shù)。該空做句子主語(yǔ)，用名詞形式，2,400后面加名詞復(fù)數(shù)，participant（參加者）是可數(shù)名詞，用participants。故填participants。

【4】

考查冠詞。本句意為“在一項(xiàng)研究中，2400名參與者中有53%的人說(shuō)他們沒(méi)有遵守自己的睡眠計(jì)劃，一周至少推遲兩次�！贝颂幏褐浮耙恢堋保�week以輔音音素開(kāi)頭，用不定冠詞a。故填a。

【5】

考查動(dòng)名詞。本句意為“研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，他們推遲就寢時(shí)間，并不是因?yàn)樗麄兿矚g熬夜，而是他們不能停止做一些無(wú)關(guān)緊要的事情，這些因素讓他們得以繼續(xù)前進(jìn)�！贝颂幹浮巴Ｖ棺瞿呈隆保�stop doing sth.（停止做某事），應(yīng)用動(dòng)名詞（doing）。故填doing。

【6】

考查副詞。本句意為“一位心理學(xué)家Floor Kroese進(jìn)一步向HufPost解釋道�！贝颂幈怼斑M(jìn)一步”，用副詞修飾動(dòng)詞explained。故填further。

【7】

考查動(dòng)詞不定式。本句已有系動(dòng)詞is，且無(wú)連詞，此處用非謂語(yǔ)形式；the first/ second...，the last，the only，the next以及這些詞修飾的名詞后，常接動(dòng)詞不定式作定語(yǔ)，名詞thing由the only修飾，應(yīng)用動(dòng)詞不定式（to do）作名詞thing的后置定語(yǔ)。故填to blame。

【8】

考查代詞。固定句型when it comes to（當(dāng)提及/談及），應(yīng)用代詞it。故填it。

【9】

考查介詞。固定搭配influence on（對(duì)……產(chǎn)生影響），應(yīng)用介詞on。故填on。

【10】

考查主謂一致。 分析句子結(jié)構(gòu) that those who get up late 　　　　　10　　　　　(be) more likely to postpone their bedtime than those who wake early every morning. 是一個(gè)主語(yǔ)從句。在主語(yǔ)從句中，who get up late 是一個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句，修飾先行詞those。在主語(yǔ)從句中，主語(yǔ)是those，是復(fù)數(shù)，且文章講的是現(xiàn)在的事實(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)。主謂一致，謂語(yǔ)用are。故填are。
