Question

【题目】Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给):

If you have ever had trouble doing things you should do or would like to do, you have experienced procrastination(拖延症). When you procrastinate, instead of working on important meaningful tasks, you find yourself performing meaningless activities.

If you are a procrastinator, perhaps you spend lots of time watching TV, playing video games, checking Facebook, eating, cleaning or walking back and forth through the room. Afterwards, you feel powerless and have the f【1】 of guilt and trouble. Once again, you end up doing nothing. Sound familiar?

L【2】 people don’t do anything and are just fine with it. Procrastinators, however, want to actually do something but can’t force themselves to s【3】.

Another fact about procrastination is that it is d【4】 from relaxation. Relaxing recharges you with energy. But procrastination makes you not energetic. The less energy you have, the greater the chances of you putting off your responsibilities, and, once more, you will achieve nothing.

My dad always used to say, “Peter, you need to learn how to give yourself orders.” I would always answer, “I tell myself what to do, I just don’t listen.”

Most likely, failure of the ability to listen to o【5】 is the main reason. The scientific name of this ability is self-regulation.

Self-regulation is the ability to actively control your emotions. The more developed this ability is, the more often you will do what you tell yourself to do. Good news is it is possible to have self-regulation by t【6】. You need to begin by setting the bar as low as possible. Creating habits isn’t about quantity; it’s about small steps and regular repetition.

Once you learn a new habit, you can exercise your willpower muscle(肌肉). As you s【7】 raise the bar, your willpower will gain strength day by day.

Gradual changes are more pleasant than sudden, great changes. Therefore bigger success can be made.

【2】Lazy

【3】start

【4】different

【7】slowly

【解析】

文章大意：本文主要介绍了拖延症的一些表现，并指出为了克服拖延症，可以进行自我管理，自我管理要从小目标开始，逐步的变化比突如其来的大变化更令人愉悦。

【1】句意：然后你会觉得无力，并有罪恶和麻烦的感觉。

题干中“guilt and trouble”都是感觉的一种，结合首字母f可推出用feeling表示“感觉”。故答案为feeling。

【2】句意：懒人不做任何事情，且感觉良好。

结合题干中“don’t do anything”及首字母L可推出此处用Lazy表示“懒惰的”。故答案为Lazy。

【3】句意：然而拖延症患者确实想要做些事情，但是不能强迫自己开始。

结合句意“然而拖延症患者确实想要做些事情，但是不能强迫自己___”及首字母s可推出此处用start表示“开始”，不定式符号to后接动词原形。故答案为start。

【4】句意：另一个关于拖延症的事实是，它与放松不同。

根据下文中“Relaxing recharges you with energy. But procrastination makes you not energetic.”可知拖延症不同于放松，结合首字母d可知此处用different表示“不同的”。故答案为different。

【5】句意：大概，没有听从我们自己的能力是主要原因。

根据下文中“The scientific name of this ability is self-regulation.”可推出此处是说“听从我们自己”；结合首字母o可知要用ourselves表示“我们自己”。故答案为ourselves。

【6】句意：好消息是通过训练拥有自我管理能力是可能的。

结合下文中“You need to begin by setting the bar as low as possible.”及首字母t可推出此处是说通过训练拥有自我管理能力，用train表示“训练”，by后接动名词形式training。故答案为training。

【7】句意：随着你慢慢增加目标，你的意志力讲一天天增加力量。

根据上文中“it’s about small steps and regular repetition”及下文“day by day”可推出此处是说“慢慢增加目标”；结合首字母s可推出用副词slowly表示“缓慢地”，修饰动词raise。故答案为slowly。
