29、 to be able to push ourselves toward flow states【C18】_we are given unstructured, open-ended time,【C19】_distractions, and a task set at a【C20】_level of difficulty.（分数：40.00）(1).【C1】（分数：2.00）A.especiallyB.even C.onlyD.just解析：解析：句子指出“掌握一门技能需要枯燥练习”。空格后 one 则指代 a skill，结合 one that you deeply love 的语义，推断所
30、需副词旨在强调任何一门技能都遵循着这样的规律。B 项 even“甚至，即使”可加强语气，能体现句首表转折的 But 和句子逻辑。(2).【C2】（分数：2.00）A.partB.varietyC.amount D.field解析：解析：所需名词处于 a hugeof 的表达中，修饰 dull practice。参照“熟能生巧”的逻辑，可以推测掌握一门技能需要大量的练习，故 C 项 amount“大量”正确。(3).【C3】（分数：2.00）A.focused B.instructedC.complicatedD.centralized解析：解析：句子承接上句，提到任何 challenging
31、activity(有挑战性的活动)都需要练习。所需词和concentrated“集中的，全神贯注的”组成并列的形容词组修饰 practice，由此可推测两者语义相近，故选 A 项 focused“集中的，聚焦的”。(4).【C4】（分数：2.00）A.pullB.seeC.liveD.run 解析：解析：从句子宾语 the cycleimprovement 的语义来看，句子提到形成技能的过程：练习、批评性反馈、修正、逐渐提高。因此可判断所需动词应说明 Anyone who wants to master a skill 都必须经历这一过程。run through“经历，通过”，D 项 run
32、符合语义要求。(5).【C5】（分数：2.00）A.conceive ofB.put offC.concentrate on D.give up解析：解析：本句的 Some people 及下句的 others 说明两个不同人群在形成技能过程中的表现和感受。从下一句提到的 this kind of concentrated 语义重现可以判断 C 项 concentrate on“集中于，专注于”符合语义和逻辑要求。(6).【C6】（分数：2.00）A.interestB.confidenceC.prideD.pleasure 解析：解析：这些人能够遵循上述规律一遍又一遍地来练习具有挑战性的活动
33、，可见他们属于首句所提的“do what you love”的人群：会变得既快乐又成功(becoming both happy and successful)。D 项pleasure“乐趣”能说明这些人对自己取得的进步感到快乐。(7).【C7】（分数：2.00）A.ThenB.Yet C.SoD.Because解析：解析：本句所提的这些人认为这些工作很枯燥(boring)。这与上句所提到的情况相反，因此可判断空格前后句子间是转折的逻辑关系，故 B 项 Yet 正确。(8).【C8】（分数：2.00）A.frighteningB.frustrating C.offendingD.misleadi
34、ng解析：解析：空格处词与 boring 组成并列式形容词短语，作宾语 this kind ofwork 的补足语。B项 frustrating“令人沮丧的，令人失望的”可顺接 time-intensive 的语义，体现工作因为费时而让人沮丧的逻辑。(9).【C9】（分数：2.00）A.involved in B.shocked byC.exhausted byD.combined in解析：解析：a state of“flow”可理解为“流畅状态”，从下文的描述可知，流畅状态是让身心完全投入到所做事情的感觉。故 A 项 involved in“卷入，专心”符合语义要求。(10).【C10】（
35、分数：2.00）A.endB.designC.displayD.course 解析：解析：本段首句指出进入“流畅状态”的能力影响着人们在技能形成过程中的感受。逗号后分句提到任务或活动的不同因素和环节，因此可推断流畅状态可贯穿于一切活动的过程中。D 项 course 有“过程”之意，故正确。(11).【C11】（分数：2.00）A.forB.withC.inD.to 解析：解析：所需介词应搭配 adjust，说明更容易达到流畅状态的一个条件。D 项 to 搭配 adjust，指“根据清晰及时的反馈进行调整自己的表现”。(12).【C12】（分数：2.00）A.means B.transition
36、C.momentD.solution解析：解析：破折号后面的内容是对 an autotelic activity(本身有目的的活动)的进一步解析，表明“这一活动本身就是乐趣(can be enjoyed for its own sake)，而不是达到某一目的(to anend)、获得某些外在回报(attaining some external reward)的。”as a means 是常用的搭配。意为“作为一种方式、手段”，A 项 means 符合语义逻辑。(13).【C13】（分数：2.00）A.competitionB.advantage C.knowledgeD.agreement解析
37、：解析：冒号后的疑问句询问我们怎样才能在自己想要掌握的活动中进入流畅状态，可推测这是在询问如何把本身有目的的活动转化为优势。B 项 advantage“优点，优势”符合句意要求。(14).【C14】（分数：2.00）A.reinforcingB.capturingC.improving D.showing解析：解析：so that 表明后半句是前半句的结果，如果能在自己想要掌握的活动中进入流畅状态，那么技能(skills)必定会得到提升，故选 C 项 improving“提升”。(15).【C15】（分数：2.00）A.equippedB.labeledC.blessed D.defined解
38、析：解析：上句讨论的对象是随时都有可能进入流畅状态的人，他们具有“自带目的性人格”(“autotelic personality”)。相应地，此句谈论的对象应是那些不具有“自带目的性人格”的人。be blessed with 是常用搭配，意为“幸运地享有”，与前面的否定词 arent 一起说明有些人并不是与生俱来就有自带目的性人格。故 C 项 blessed 正确。(16).【C16】（分数：2.00）A.facilitated B.controlledC.determinedD.mastered解析：解析：下句提到的 time、distractions 等属于 environmental f
39、actors 的范畴，并且这些因素有可能把人带人流畅状态(push ourselves toward flow states)。故可认为流畅状态可由环境因素促成，A 项 facilitated“促进，推进”符合语义要求。(17).【C17】（分数：2.00）A.dazzlingB.enlighteningC.overwhelmingD.thrilling 解析：解析：所需形容词处于 turninto的意群中，说明这种 pill 能把乏味的练习变成其他的活动。上文也提到有人认为枯燥练习乏味(boring)，基于此，应认为人们想把枯燥练习变得不再乏味。D 项thrilling“令人振奋的”语义与
40、boring、dull 等相反。(18).【C18】（分数：2.00）A.if B.becauseC.untilD.unless解析：解析：空格前分句意为“我们似乎能够把自己推向流畅状态”，后一分句意为“给我们提供松散的、不限制的时间”。可见后一分句是促成这一结果的条件。A 项 if 连接条件状语从句，故符合逻辑要求。(19).【C19】（分数：2.00）A.transientB.periodicC.minimum D.occasional解析：解析：基于该句的语义和逻辑，可知分句 we are given是“我们”进入流畅状态的条件。从 unstructured，open-ended tim
41、e(松散的、不限制的时间)这一条件来看，所涉及的应是有助于进入流畅状态的有利条件。minimum distractions“尽量少的干扰”，有助于进入流畅状态，故 C 项 minimum 正确。(20).【C20】（分数：2.00）A.familiarB.moderate C.typicalD.heightened解析：解析：基于前两项分析，可知该分句是关于有助于进入流畅状态的条件，故应推断任务所设定的难易程度(level of difficulty)也应适当。故 B 项 moderate“适度的”符合逻辑要求。It only takes ten minutes, but reading yo
