Whats to blame for all the bad behavior? Most people would say that, while these selfdestructive acts can have many root causes, they all have one obvious thing in common: they are all examples of failures of selfcontrol, lacking the will power to resist them.According to a recent study, however, if you really think about it, something about that simple answer doesnt quite make sense.In fact, it turns out that sometimes its having will power that really gets you into trouble.Think back to the time you took your very first sip of beer.Disgusting, wasnt it? When my father gave me my first taste of beer as a teenager, I wondered why anyone would voluntarily drink it.And smoking? No one enjoys their first cigarette it tastes awful.So even though smoking, and drinking alcohol or coffee, can become temptation you need will power to resist, they never, ever start out that way.Just getting past those first horrible experiences actually requires a lot of selfcontrol.Ironically (讽刺的是), only those who can control themselves well, rather than give in to them, can ever come to someday develop a “taste” for Budweiser beer, Marlboro cigarettes, or darkroasted Starbucks coffee.We do it for social acceptance.We force ourselves to consume alcohol, cigarettes, coffee and even illegal drugs, in order to seem experienced, grownup, and cool.These bad habits arent selfcontrol failures far from it.They are voluntary choices, and they are in fact selfcontrol successes.Selfcontrol is simply a tool to be put to some use, helpful or harmful.To live happy and productive lives, we need to develop not only our selfcontrol, but also the wisdom to make good decisions about when and where to apply it.【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了意志力能让人成功，也能让人染上不好的习惯。事物都是有两面性的，要辩证地看待。12What do most people think causes bad behavior?ABeing forced by others.BNot having enough will power.CEnjoying their first experiences.DFollowing the examples of their friends.【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段最后.they all have one obvious thing in common: they are all examples of failures of selfcontrol, lacking the will power to resist them.说明很多人认为人们染上不好的习惯是因为意志力不够，不能够抵御诱惑。故B正确。【答案】B13. The author mentions his experience in the third paragraph to prove _.Awill power helps develop bad habits sometimesBdrinking beer is harmful to the health of teenagersCselfcontrol should be developed when one is youngDeveryone can be challenged by different temptations【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段内容尤其是最后So even though smoking, and drinking alcohol or coffee, can become temptation you need will power to resist, they never, ever start out that way.说明烟酒，咖啡的味道是很不好的，但是很多人为什么会染上这样的习惯？正是因为他们有足够的意志力让自己抵御这些不好的味道，最终喜欢上这些东西，故A正确。【答案】A14. In the last paragraph, the author stresses that_.A. without selfcontrol, no one can succeedBbad habits dont always lead to bad resultsCapplying selfcontrol correctly is importantDpeople can develop wisdom from bad behavior【解析】推理判断题。根据文章最后两行To live happy and productive lives, we need to develop not only our selfcontrol, but also the wisdom to make good decisions about when and where to apply it.说明人们的意志力很重要，我们需要正确地运用自己的意志力，我们需要自我控制，我们更需要正确的运用自己的意志力。故C正确。【答案】C15. What would be the best title for the passage?AMy First Sip of BeerBDo You Have Will Power?CWill Power Benefits UsDDark Side of Selfcontrol【解析】主旨大意题。文章通过为什么人们会染上一些坏的习惯来说明正是因为人们的意志力，才最终让人们染上了这样的恶习。讲述的是自我控制力的不好的一方面。教育我们要正确运用自己的自我控制力。故D正确。【答案】D.阅读填句 (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。 In the past few years, many people found themselves trying really hard to hold on to jobs that they may not have wanted.However, now might be the time to find a new job.Jobs data is improving, and the labor market seems to be picking up.Here are four signs that it might be time for you to move on.1_16_We all have days that we dont want to go into work.We may even dislike what we do for work.But do you really hate the idea of going in？_17_2You are concerned about the values of your boss and coworkers. _18_ However, if you find yourself questioning the values and ideals of those around you at work, it could be an indication that you are out of place.If you feel that you are not in line with your organization, it might be the time to move on.3You wish you had more challenging tasks.For some people, easy work is preferred.Its a matter of working day in and day out._19_ If you want to progress as a person, a job that doesnt provide you with an abundant challenge can be disheartening.Now that the economy is a little more stable, you can look around or a job that offers more satisfaction.4You feel like an outsider.If you feel left out of the culture at work, it might be a strong indication that you belong somewhere else._20_If you have been with an organization for more than a few months, and you still feel somewhat awkward, it might be a sign that you need to find an organization where you integrate(融入)into the culture a little bit better.A.
