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.

解析试题分析:本文介绍了导致人变懒惰的原因是没有明确的目标,要想改变这种状态就要为他找到明确的目标。
【小题1】考查名词。 Motivation动机;question问题;promotion提升,晋升;courage勇气,胆量。句意是:懒惰意思指你没有动力做事情。A选项更贴近语境,故选A。
【小题2】考查词组。 Agreeing同意;denying否认;identifying识别; refusing拒绝。句意是:这是显而易见的,但很多人犯的错误是确定自己是懒惰的人。短语Identify oneself证明自己(的身份),故选C。
【小题3】考查连词。 Otherwise否则,另外;Besides此外,而且;However然而; Therefore因此,所以。上句说懒惰的人看起来是没有用的,下一句是他们是真懒还是假懒呢,有上下语句可看出这里有转折的意思,故选C。
。句意是:在她居住的德国乡村没有“提供”夜校课程,所以她选择了网络学习方式。故选B。
【小题4】考查形容词。Correct正确的;false错误的;temporary暂时的;inspirational鼓舞人心的。根据下半句“while the other suggests that it’s permanent”还是表明它是永久的,这有对比意为,形容词应是反义的,temporary暂时的与 permanent永久的反义词,故选C。
【小题5】考查副词。 Simply简单地,仅仅;occasionally偶尔,间或;often常常;hardly几乎不,简直不。根据“This is the myth of laziness. People who are lazy aren’t lazy”和“ people who are temporarily acting that way”可知这只是懒惰的一种假象。懒惰的人不是真正的懒,只是人们短暂的表现方式,故选A。
【小题6】考查名词。Excuse借口,理由;gift礼物;chance机会;purpose目的,用途。上句说导致一个人不活跃的原因是没有目标,因此在下一句中说只要给他一个足够好的目标就会做好。好的故选D。
【小题7】考查名词。Point要点;success成功;situation情况;difficulty困难。句意是:懒惰的学生不学习是因为他们看不到学习的重要,四个选项中只有point与语境贴切,故选A。
【小题8】考查动词。Dropping落下;pointing指向;shooting射击;hiding隐藏。句意是:例如,如果你懒得清理车库,会有人拿枪指着你的头帮你采取行动吗?四个选项中只有pointing与语境贴切,故选B。
【小题9】考查连词词组。as long as只要;as soon as一...就...;so that以便,所以; in case万一,假使。句意是:可以积极或消极的原因只要是强大到足以诱导行动。故选A。
【小题10】考查名词。 Reasons原因;money金钱;energy能量;Confidence信心。句意是:激励一个懒人,你需要做的就是帮他找到足够的理由朝某个目标努力。故选A。

Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in his life, he might go home and write in his diary; now, a teenager with  26 problems might go onto the Internet and write about them in a blog(博客).In many ways, a diary and a blog are very  27 .But what makes blogging different from writing in a(n) 28 diary?
The biggest difference is that a blog is much more   29  than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats his diary like a book full of   30  that he does not want to   31 with others.
It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog   32 a diary will probably write nearly the same information.
I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her   33 . She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test.  34 I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but   35 in my dairy. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was  36 that my sister might read it.
The biggest   37  with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something   38 about him in my diary, he would never know. 39  ,  if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend might   40 her blog and get angry.
There are also   41  to blogging, of course. If I was feeling sad one day and wrote in my diary, “ Nobody cares about me”, because no one would   42 about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would quickly   43  and tell her how much they  44  her. Blogs help people   45 in contact with their friends and know what the people around them are doing.

My parents had always prepared for hurricanes. It is what      people do in Florida because “you never know”. For us, that     a white metal cabinet (储藏柜) in our utility room (杂用间) filled with cans of food. We could      eat anything out of the cabinet because “you never know” when a hurricane will come.
As a kid, I was      about the white cabinet. I thought it was kind of strange to have food in the utility room. But, one look from my mother      me from opening the door to glance inside.
One year, Channel 4 reported that Hurricane Dora was      for the northern part of Florida. Soon the storm got      and the wind blew. Then, the tall pine trees started to sway. And,      “sway”, I meant “ fall over or crash down on anything in their way”. We were lucky, as the       went other directions and didn’t take our power out.
However, when my mother started cooking, the power was out.      I calculated it was time to crack open that white cabinet. But, Dad thought it was time to      up the charcoal grill(烧烤架 ) outside where it was raining and windy. To this day, I never      a man’s love for his grill.
Our power came back for a while. So, my mother began cooking everything she could and       it away, to the neighbors, to friends without power, to anyone with      . I was hoping that the fried chicken was going to find its way to our     . But, it didn’t. And, just as the last of the food was sent out and she began to work on our dinner, yes, we lost our     . It was time for 20 minutes’ eggs on the grill.
Oh, the white metal cabinet. No. We never     it. We weren’t “that bad off” as I understand it. And, for years I      how bad off we would have to be to eat out of that cabinet. Perhaps it was just the      of it, the thought that it was there watching our backs      we wanted a can of beans or some potted meat. I don’t know if that was what was in there. Anyway, I never looked inside.
