26、, promoted education and encouraged small businesses.【翻译】你也许没有听说过 Ashoka，但是在过去的 27年里，这个由 Bill Drayton成立的6组织一直都在和贫穷和疾病做斗志，促进教育和鼓励人们做小生意。【分析】本句较长，句中时间状语 for the past 27 years通常都是和现在完成时连用。另外句中的过去分词短语 founded by Bill Drayton做定语修饰前面的名词association，因为两者之间构成被动关系，所以使用过去分词的形式，相当于定语从句which was association.三、Ch
27、oosing the Right Resolution (决定)Millions of Americans began 2014 with the same resolution they started 2013 with, a goal of losing weight. However, setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake.To reach our goal of losing weight - the output, we need to control what we eat - the input ( 输入). That is, w
28、e tend to care about the output but not to control the input. This is a bad way to construce goals. The alternative is to focus your resolution on the input. Instead of resolving to lose weight, try an actionable resolution: “Ill stop having desert for lunch,” or “Ill walk every day for 20 minutes.”
29、 Creating a goal that focuses on a well-specified input will likely be more effective than concentrating on the outcome.Recently a new science behind incentives (激励 ) , including in education, has been discussed. For example, researcher Roland Fryer wanted to see what works best in motivating childr

31、ryers conclusion was that the intensives for inputs might be more effective because do not knoe how to do better on exam, aside from general rules like “study harder.” Reading certain books, on the other hand, is a well-set task over which they have much more control.As long as you have direct contr
32、ol over your goal, you have a much higher chance of success. And its easier to start again if you fail, because you 7know exactly what you need to do.If you want to cut down on your spending, a good goal would be making morning coffee at home instead of going to a cafe, for example. This is a well-s
33、pecified action-based goal for which you can measure your success easily. Spending less money isnt a goal because its too general. Similarly, if you want to spend more time with your family, dont stop with this general wish. Think about an actionable habit that you could adopt and stick to, like a f

In Roland Fryers research, some students did better than the others because _ .A. they obeyed all the general rulesB. they paid more attention to examsC. they were motivated by their classmatesD. they were rewarded for reading some books65. According to the writer, whic
36、h of the following statements is a good goal?A. “Ill give up desert.” B. “Ill study harder.”C. “Ill cut down my expense” D. “Ill spend more time with my family”66. The writer strongly believes that we should _ .A. develop good habits and focus on the outcomeB. be optimistic about final goals and sti
37、ck to themC. pick specific actions that can be turned into good habitsD. set ambitious goals that can balance the input ang output8【考点】考察社会生活类阅读【文章大意】人们总是为自己的减肥设立目标，但是又总是无法成功。作者告诉我们那是愿望我们只关注了输出，而忽视了输入的影响。同时作者还通过实验告诉我们要养成采取行动的习惯。63. 【答案】B 【试题解析】推理题。根据文章第二段 1,2行 To reach our goal of losing weight - th
38、e output, we need to control what we eat - the input ( 输入). That is, we tend to care about the output but not to control the input.可知为了实现我们减肥的目的，我们需要控制我们的输入，而不是只关注结果（输出） 。这就是我们只为自己设立减肥的目标的错误所在：只注意结果。故 B正确。64. 【答案】D 【试题解析】推理题。根据文章第三段 4,5行 His main finding was that incentives increased achievement whe
39、n based on input but had no effect on output.可知当以输入为基础的时候，激励会有很好的结果。再根据第三段 2,3行 In some cases, he gave students incentives based on input, like reading certain books可知针对输入的激励是让他们读书。故 D项说法：奖励他们读书是有效的。故 D正确。65. 【答案】A 【试题解析】推理题。根据文章第二段可知要想减肥，很重要的是控制住我们的输入。选项里的 A项：“Ill give up desert.” 我将放弃甜点。这就属于控制输入。故
