题目解答
答案
解析
考查要点：本题主要考查学生对语篇逻辑关系的把握能力，需要根据上下文语境选择合适的句子填入空缺处，形成连贯的语义。
解题核心：通过分析上下文的逻辑关系，明确每个空缺处需要表达的含义，再匹配选项中与之最契合的句子。
关键思路：
- 定位空缺处前后文，明确段落主题和逻辑走向；
- 关注连接词、代词等提示信息，判断句子间的衔接关系；
- 对比选项内容，选择与上下文语义、语气最匹配的句子。
第1空（__1__）
上下文分析：前文将“孩子站在跳板上犹豫是否要跳”类比为“缺乏动机的状态”，后文指出“像孩子一样，你将无法决定”。
选项匹配：G选项“没有动机，你既无法设定目标，也无法实现目标”直接点明动机的重要性，与前后文形成逻辑衔接。
第2空（__2__）
上下文分析：后文提出“如何保持动力实现目标”，此处需引出问题。
选项匹配：B选项“所以如何激励自己？”自然引出下文的建议，符合逻辑递进关系。
第3空（__3__）
上下文分析：前文提到“心不在焉时”，后文建议“停下来思考真正想做的事”。
选项匹配：A选项“这会影响你的工作”解释了心不在焉的后果，与上下文形成因果关系。
第4空（__4__）
上下文分析：前文强调“目标是灵活的”，后文补充“目标需要可衡量性”。
选项匹配：E选项“它们可以根据情况改变”直接呼应“目标是灵活的”，强化主题。
第5空（__5__）
上下文分析：前文举例说明“因自身条件无法实现目标”，后文建议“重新评估目标”。
选项匹配：C选项“然而，这不应 discourage你”承上启下，体现积极心态的引导。
