Thanks to a webcam and microphone, the avatar not only

30、 responds to questions the kids may have, but also picks up non-verbalcues. For instance, if a student smiles at Will, he responds by smiling back.

31、anges if needed.Nikhil Ravishankar believes that Will-like avatars could be a novel way to catch the attention of the nextgeneration. He says, “I have a lot of hope in this technology as a means to deliver cost-effective, rich, educational experience in the future.”The program, in place since August

41、n 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 meth

42、od 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 s

43、elf-control raises a troubling question. When we face too many temptations, are we to fail? Not necessarily. Researchers dont believe that ones willpower is ever completely exhausted. Rather, people appear to hold some willpower in reserve, saved for future demands. The right motivation allows us to

44、 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

45、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-cont

46、rol may improve willpower strength.The evidence from willpower-exhaustion studies also suggests that making a list of resolutions on New Years 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 ti

47、me. In other words, dont 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, youll no longer need to draw on your willpower to maintain the behavior. Eventually healthy

48、 habits will become routine, and wont require making decisions at all.12. From the studies in the passage we learn that .A. people have unlimited self-controlB. high motivation ensures ones successC. willpower is hardly completely exhaustedD. too many temptations often lead to failure13. The underli

49、ned phrase “tap into” in Paragraph 3 most probably means .A. make use ofB. run out ofC. buildD. increase14. The author compares self control to muscles .A. to prove the long-term effect of willpowerB. to show the significance of regular exerciseC. to argue that self-control can he easily used upD. t

50、o explain the benefits of practicing self-control15. 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 temptati

51、on.”【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. C【解析】【分析】这是一篇议论文。短文列举了关于意志力的几种研究和观点，作者认为有了明确的目标，良好的自我监督和练习，就可以在面对诱惑时使意志力保持坚强。【12题详解】细节推理题。根据第三段Researchers dont believe that ones willpower is ever completely exhausted. Rather, people appear to hold some willpower in reserve, saved for future demands.可知，研究人员不相信人的意志力会完全

52、耗尽，他们还有备用的和为将来需求节省的意志力。所以从文章中的研究我们了解到意志力几乎没有完全丧失。故C选项正确。【13题详解】猜测词义题。由第三段“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.”可知，正确的动机使我们能够利用这些储备，即使我们的自我控制能力已经被消耗殆尽，我们仍然可以继续前进。所以通过上下文的语境，判断出“tap into”指利用，与make use

53、of同义。故A选项正确。【14题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段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.可知，虽然肌肉在短期内会因运动而疲惫不堪，但长期而言，它们会通过经常锻炼而增强。同样规律的自我控制可以提高意志力。两者相比是为了说明同一个道理：

54、长期的锻炼和自我控制的好处。所以作者把自我控制比作肌肉是为了解释自我控制的好处。故D选项正确。【15题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段Taking goals one by one is a better approach. Once a good habit is in place, youll no longer need to draw on your willpower to maintain the behavior. Eventually healthy habits will become routine, and wont require making decisions at

55、 all.可知，作者认为一个接一个的制定目标是一个更好的方法。一旦养成好习惯，你就不再需要依靠意志力来维持自己的行为。最终健康的习惯将成为惯例，而且不需要做任何决定。所以C项“I will read an English novel every month.”是先设立目标，然后成为好习惯，作者更喜欢这种目标。故C选项正确。【点睛】根据事物的定义或者对事物总体的概括，从而判断出哪些具体事物或者具体的实践应该属于定义的范围或者是概括的范围是我们经常见到的推理判断题的题型。要解决这样的判断题，首先要讲对事物的定义或者对事物的总体概括要读清楚，然后根据对比4个选项，哪个选项在定义或者概括范围内的。哪个

56、就是正确的答案。由倒数第二段Taking goals one by one is a better approach. Once a good habit is in place, youll no longer need to draw on your willpower to maintain the behavior. Eventually healthy habits will become routine, and wont require making decisions at all.可知，作者认为一个接一个的制定目标是一个更好的方法。一旦养成好习惯，你就不再需要依靠意志力来维持

57、自己的行为。最终健康的习惯将成为惯例，而且不需要做任何决定。C项“I will read an English novel every month.”是先设立目标，然后成为好习惯，作者更喜欢这种目标。故小题4的正确选项为C选项。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。How to Become an Activist (活动家)Activists are people who see the need for change and devote their time to doing somethi

58、ng about it. _16_ If you are interested in it you can do so._17_ This could be anything from a student club to a national organization (like the American Civil Liberties Union or the National Organizers Alliance). Most activist organizations offer different levels of involvement, so you can do whatever you feel most comfortable with, whether that means attending meetings and demonstrations or just donati
