Most of the researchers exploring self-control do so with an obvious goal in mind: How can willpower be strengthened? If willpower is truly a limited resource, as the research suggests, what can be done to make it stay strong?‎ Avoiding temptation (诱惑) is an effective method for maintaining self-control, which is called the “out of sight, out of mind” principle. One recent study, for instance, found office workers less attracted to candy in the desk drawer than that on top of their desks, in plain sight.‎ The research suggesting that we possess a limited reservoir of self-control raises a troubling question. When we face too many temptations, are we to fail? Not necessarily. Researchers don’t believe that one’s willpower is ever completely exhausted. Rather, people appear to hold some willpower in reserve, saved for future demands. The right motivation allows us to tap into those reserves, allowing us to carry on even when our self-control strength has been run down. High motivation might help overcome weakened willpower-at least to a point.‎ Willpower may also be made less vulnerable（脆弱）to being exhausted in the first place. Researchers who study self-control often describe it as being like a muscle that gets tired with heavy use. But there is another aspect to the muscle comparison, they say. While muscles become exhausted by exercise in the short term, they are strengthened by regular exercise in the long term. Similarly, regular practices of self-control may improve willpower strength.‎ The evidence from willpower-exhaustion studies also suggests that making a list of resolutions on New Year’s Eve is the worst possible approach. Being exhausted in one area can reduce willpower in other areas, so it makes more sense to focus on a single goal at a time. In other words, don’t try to quit smoking, adopt a healthy diet and start a new exercise plan at the same time. Taking goals one by one is a better approach. Once a good habit is in place, Baumeister says, you’ll no longer need to draw on your willpower to maintain the behavior. Eventually healthy habits will become routine, and won’t require making decisions at all.‎ ‎24．From the studies in the passage we learn that .‎ A．people have unlimited self-control B．high motivation ensures one’s success C．willpower is hardly completely exhausted D．too many temptations often lead to failure ‎25．The underlined phrase “tap into” in Paragraph 3 most probably means .‎ A．make use of B．run out of C．build D．increase ‎26．The author compares self –control to muscles .‎ A．to prove the long-term effect of willpower B．to show the significance of regular exercise C．to argue that self-control can he easily used up D．to explain the benefits of practicing self-control ‎27．To develop a good habit, which of the following does the author prefer?‎ A．“I will give up dessert and do exercise.”‎ B．“I will set three goals this new semester.”‎ C．“I will read an English novel every month.”‎ D．“I will keep myself from any temptation.”‎ C ‎ My color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t got any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.‎ Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static (静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it. I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles (肌肉) shaking my set.‎ When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.‎ ‎28．Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?‎ A．He got an older model than he had expected.‎ B．He couldn’t return it when it was broken.‎ C．He could have bought it at a lower price.‎ D．He failed to find any movie shows on it.‎ ‎29．Which of the following can best replace the phrase “signed off” in Paragraph 1?‎ A．ended all their programs B．provided fewer channels C．changed to commercials D．showed all-night movies ‎30．How did the author finally get his TV set working again?‎ A．By shaking and hitting it. B．By turning it on and off.‎ C．By switching channels. D．By having it repaired.‎ ‎31．How does the author sound when telling the story?‎ A．Curious B．Anxious C．Cautious D．Humorous D ‎ Working up a credit score for Walter Cavanagh has got to be a mathematical nightmare ﹣ the man has nearly 1，500 valid credit cards to his name and holds the Guinness Record for the most credit cards． Mr． Plastic Fantastic ﹣ a title given to him by Guinness World Records ﹣ is also the proud owner of the world's longest wallet， which can hold about 800 cards． But he uses it only to carry a few cards， while the rest are safely kept in bank safedeposit boxes．‎ Cavanagh started collecting credit cards in the late 1960s． "One of my best friends and I made a silly bet： the guy who could collect the most credit cards by the end of the year would win dinner，" he said． " I got 143 cards by the end of the year， and my friend gathered 138．" After winning that bet， Cavanagh decided to simply keep going with his unusual collection． He got credit cards from gas stations， airlines， bars， and even ice cream stores．‎ If there's one card missing from Cavanagh's collection， it's that from the Newberry Company． They repulsed his application for a card in the early 1970s， even though he'd collected over 100 by then． They said he had too much credit． Therefore， so far he hasn't had a Newberry card in his collection．‎ Cavanagh hasn't stopped applying for new cards ﹣ he's held the Guinness Record since 1971 and has no intention of letting go of it． He copies whole pages from a U．S． directory of businesses and keeps sending applications． If he receives a rejection， he writes back to the company explaining his goal and ambition． But he doesn't count useless cards in his total collection．‎ Thanks to all the cards to his name， Cavanagh has access to about ＄1.7 million at any moment． Despite this privilege， he has managed to maintain an excellent credit score．‎ The 72﹣year﹣old retired financial planner and credit expert has only one piece of advice to share： "Never use a card to buy anything you can't pay off in a couple of months． If you don't have the discipline， you shouldn't have the cards．"‎ ‎32．Cavanagh began to collect credit cards when he ．‎ A．owned a very long wallet B．made a bet with his friend C．wanted to create a Guinness Record D．was treated to dinner by his friend．‎ ‎33．What does the underlined word "repulsed" in Paragraph 3 probably mean？‎ A．Rejected． B．Recalled． C．Repeated． D．Recognized．‎ ‎34．What do the underlined words "the discipline" in the last paragraph probably refer to？‎ A．Having many cards to your own name．‎ B．Buying things by card and paying off in time．‎ C．Managing to own more privileges for your card．‎ D．Using a card to buy things as many times as possible．‎ ‎35．What do we know about Cavanagh's cards？‎ A．Some of them are useless．‎ B．They are safely kept in his long wallet．‎ C．They have brought him fame and privilege．‎ D．Fewer new cards are added to his collections．‎ 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎ The world is a colorful landscape of different languages, skin colors, and different cultures. It’s important to have a good understanding of different cultures in order to become a well-rounded person36．‎ One way is to read hooks written by authors from a particular culture. Reading works by authors who have a close relationship with a particular culture allows people to gain an authentic glimpse into the food, music, language, religion, and way of a life of a particular group of people.‎ ‎37．‎ Another way to learn about different cultures is to try to learn a foreign language.38．A person can choose a language she has always wanted to learn and locate learning programs to help her master the language.

One can also try to visit areas of the city to establish social connection with native speakers of the language.‎ ‎39．Seek out restaurants that feature authentic food from a variety of countries.
