Question

Laziness is a state of inaction. It is something that you do, not something that you are. Being lazy means you have no         to do anything. This is obvious but the mistake that many people make is          themselves as someone who is lazy.

Lazy people are often seen as useless.      , are they really being lazy or are they acting lazy? There is a huge difference between saying you are lazy sometimes and you are a lazy person. One is suggesting that your laziness is       while the other suggests that it’s permanent. This is the myth of laziness. People who are lazy aren’t lazy; they      are people who are temporarily acting that way.

So what causes a person to be inactive? The answer is a lack of goals. If you give someone a good enough      to do something, he will do it. People who don’t seem to do anything just haven’t found a good enough reason to do something. Lazy students don’t study because they don’t see the        in studying. For example, if you are too lazy to clean out the garage, would someone        a gun to your head help you take action? The reason can be positive or negative      it’s strong enough to induce(引起) action.

To motivate someone who is lazy, what you need to do is to help him find enough      to work towards a certain goal.

試題分析：本文介紹了導(dǎo)致人變懶惰的原因是沒有明確的目標(biāo)，要想改變這種狀態(tài)就要為他找到明確的目標(biāo)。

1.考查名詞。 Motivation動機；question問題；promotion提升，晉升；courage勇氣，膽量。句意是：懶惰意思指你沒有動力做事情。A選項更貼近語境，故選A。

2.考查詞組。 Agreeing同意；denying否認(rèn)；identifying識別； refusing拒絕。句意是：這是顯而易見的,但很多人犯的錯誤是確定自己是懶惰的人。短語Identify oneself證明自己（的身份），故選C。

3.考查連詞。 Otherwise否則，另外；Besides此外，而且；However然而； Therefore因此，所以。上句說懶惰的人看起來是沒有用的，下一句是他們是真懶還是假懶呢，有上下語句可看出這里有轉(zhuǎn)折的意思，故選C。

。句意是：在她居住的德國鄉(xiāng)村沒有“提供”夜校課程，所以她選擇了網(wǎng)絡(luò)學(xué)習(xí)方式。故選B。

4.考查形容詞。Correct正確的；false錯誤的；temporary暫時的；inspirational鼓舞人心的。根據(jù)下半句“while the other suggests that it’s permanent”還是表明它是永久的，這有對比意為，形容詞應(yīng)是反義的，temporary暫時的與 permanent永久的反義詞，故選C。

5.考查副詞。 Simply簡單地，僅僅；occasionally偶爾，間或；often常常；hardly幾乎不，簡直不。根據(jù)“This is the myth of laziness. People who are lazy aren’t lazy”和“ people who are temporarily acting that way”可知這只是懶惰的一種假象。懶惰的人不是真正的懶，只是人們短暫的表現(xiàn)方式，故選A。

6.考查名詞。Excuse借口，理由；gift禮物；chance機會；purpose目的，用途。上句說導(dǎo)致一個人不活躍的原因是沒有目標(biāo)，因此在下一句中說只要給他一個足夠好的目標(biāo)就會做好。好的故選D。

7.考查名詞。Point要點；success成功；situation情況；difficulty困難。句意是：懶惰的學(xué)生不學(xué)習(xí)是因為他們看不到學(xué)習(xí)的重要，四個選項中只有point與語境貼切，故選A。

8.考查動詞。Dropping落下；pointing指向；shooting射擊；hiding隱藏。句意是：例如，如果你懶得清理車庫，會有人拿槍指著你的頭幫你采取行動嗎？四個選項中只有pointing與語境貼切，故選B。

9.考查連詞詞組。as long as只要；as soon as一...就...；so that以便，所以； in case萬一，假使。句意是：可以積極或消極的原因只要是強大到足以誘導(dǎo)行動。故選A。

10.考查名詞。 Reasons原因；money金錢；energy能量；Confidence信心。句意是：激勵一個懶人，你需要做的就是幫他找到足夠的理由朝某個目標(biāo)努力。故選A。

考點：考查社會文化類短文
