Choose the best word(s) for each numbered blank and mark A, B, C or D.(分数:40.00)__________________________________________________________________________________________ 解析:In interviews, famous people often say that the key to becoming both happy and successful is to "do what you love." But mastering a skill,【C1】______one that you deeply love, requires a huge 【C2】______of dull practice. Any challenging activity requires【C3】______and concentrated practice. Anyone who wants to master a skill must【C4】______through the cycle of practice, critical feedback, modification, and progressive improvement again, again, and again. Some people seem able to【C5】______practicing an activity like this for years and take【C6】______in their gradual improvement.【C7】______others find this kind of concentrated, time-intensive work to be【C8】______or boring. Why? The difference may turn on the ability to enter into a state of "flow," the feeling of being completely【C9】______what you are doing. A flow state is a special experience. Flow states can happen in the【C10】______of any activity, and they are most common when a task has well-defined goals and is at an appropriate skill level, and where the individual is able to adjust their performance【C11】______clear and immediate feedback. Flow states turn the dull practice into an autotelic activity—that is, one that can be enjoyed for its own sake, rather than as a【C12】______to an end or for attaining some external reward. That raises the question of how we can turn this to our【C13】______: How can we get into a flow state for an activity that we want to master, so that we enjoy both the process of【C14】______skills and the rewards of being a master? Psychologists suggested that those who most readily entered into flow states had an "autotelic personality". For those who aren"t necessarily【C15】______with an autotelic personality, there is evidence that flow states can be【C16】______by environmental factors. While there isn"t yet a pill that can turn dull practice into a【C17】______activity for anyone, it is encouraging that we seem, at least to some degree, to be able to push ourselves toward flow states【C18】______we are given unstructured, open-ended time,【C19】______distractions, and a task set at a【C20】______level of difficulty.(分数:40.00)(1).【C1】(分数:2.00)A.especiallyB.even √C.onlyD.just解析:解析:句子指出“掌握一门技能需要枯燥练习”。
空格后one则指代a skill,结合one thatyou deeply love的语义,推断所需副词旨在强调任何一门技能都遵循着这样的规律。
B项even“甚至,即使”可加强语气,能体现句首表转折的But和句子逻辑。
(2).【C2】(分数:2.00)A.partB.varietyC.amount √D.field解析:解析:所需名词处于a huge…of的表达中,修饰dull practice。
参照“熟能生巧”的逻辑,可以推测掌握一门技能需要大量的练习,故C项amount“大量”正确。
(3).【C3】(分数:2.00)A.focused √B.instructedplicatedD.centralized解析:解析:句子承接上句,提到任何challenging activity(有挑战性的活动)都需要练习。
所需词和concentrated“集中的,全神贯注的”组成并列的形容词组修饰practice,由此可推测两者语义相近,故选A项focused“集中的,聚焦的”。
(4).【C4】(分数:2.00)A.pullB.seeC.liveD.run √解析:解析:从句子宾语the cycle...improvement的语义来看,句子提到形成技能的过程:练习、批评性反馈、修正、逐渐提高。
因此可判断所需动词应说明Anyone who wants to master a skill都必须经历这一过程。
run through“经历,通过”,D项run符合语义要求。
(5).【C5】(分数:2.00)A.conceive ofB.put offC.concentrate on √D.give up解析:解析:本句的Some people及下句的others说明两个不同人群在形成技能过程中的表现和感受。
从下一句提到的this kind of concentrated语义重现可以判断C项concentrate on“集中于,专注于”符合语义和逻辑要求。
(6).【C6】(分数:2.00)A.interestB.confidenceC.prideD.pleasure √解析:解析:这些人能够遵循上述规律一遍又一遍地来练习具有挑战性的活动,可见他们属于首句所提的“do what you love”的人群:会变得既快乐又成功(becoming both happy and success-ful)。
D项pleasure“乐趣”能说明这些人对自己取得的进步感到快乐。
(7).【C7】(分数:2.00)A.ThenB.Yet √C.SoD.Because解析:解析:本句所提的这些人认为这些工作很枯燥(boring)。
这与上句所提到的情况相反,因此可判断空格前后句子间是转折的逻辑关系,故B项Yet正确。
(8).【C8】(分数:2.00)A.frighteningB.frustrating √C.offendingD.misleading解析:解析:空格处词与boring组成并列式形容词短语,作宾语this kind of...work的补足语。
B 项frustrating“令人沮丧的,令人失望的”可顺接time-intensive的语义,体现工作因为费时而让人沮丧的逻辑。
(9).【C9】(分数:2.00)A.involved in √B.shocked byC.exhausted bybined in解析:解析:a state of“flow”可理解为“流畅状态”,从下文的描述可知,流畅状态是让身心完全投入到所做事情的感觉。
故A项involved in“卷入,专心”符合语义要求。
(10).【C10】(分数:2.00)A.endB.designC.displayD.course √解析:解析:本段首句指出进入“流畅状态”的能力影响着人们在技能形成过程中的感受。
逗号后分句提到任务或活动的不同因素和环节,因此可推断流畅状态可贯穿于一切活动的过程中。
D项course有“过程”之意,故正确。
(11).【C11】(分数:2.00)A.forB.withC.inD.to √解析:解析:所需介词应搭配adjust,说明更容易达到流畅状态的一个条件。
D项to搭配adjust,指“根据清晰及时的反馈进行调整自己的表现”。
(12).【C12】(分数:2.00)A.means √B.transitionC.momentD.solution解析:解析:破折号后面的内容是对an autotelic activity(本身有目的的活动)的进一步解析,表明“这一活动本身就是乐趣(can be enjoyed for its own sake),而不是达到某一目的(to anend)、获得某些外在回报(attaining some external reward)的……。
