三、阅读理解
A large body of research has been developed in recent years to explain many aspects of willpower.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 are 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 (储备) 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 up to a point.
Willpower may also be made less vulnerable (脆弱的) 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.
1.From the studies in the passage we learn that .

三、阅读理解
1.C 考查细节理解。根据第三段第四、五句“Researchers don't believe that one's willpower is ever completely exhausted...saved for future demands.”可知,研究人员认为一个人的意志力不会完全耗尽,更确切地说,人们似乎保留了一些意志力,以备将来之需。故选C。
2.A 考查词义猜测。根据该句后半句“allowing us to carry on even when our self control strength has been run down”可知,正确的动机能让我们在自控力下降的时候也能坚持下去,而之所以这样,是因为人们可以利用前一句中提到的“意志力储备”(some willpower in reserve),画线短语在此处表示利用,故A项符合题意。
3.D 考查推理判断。根据第四段倒数第一、二句可知,虽然肌肉在短期内会因运动而疲劳,但长期有规律的运动可以增强肌肉;同样,有规律的自我控制训练可以提高意志力。由此可推知,作者将自控能力比作肌肉是为了说明进行自我控制训练的好处。故选D。
4.C 考查推理判断。根据第五段第二和第四句可知,在一个领域筋疲力尽会降低在其他领域的意志力,所以一次专注于一个目标更明智。由此可推知,为了养成一个好习惯,作者更喜欢C项描述的情境。
