题目
18. (20.0分) People often wonder why some entrepreneurs have greater success than others. Is it habits, connection luck, work ethic, or any other behavior? I believe the key to success is willpower. Willpower is the ability to control yourself. It is a strong determination that allows you to do something difficult. It is a behavior we are born with, more than one we learn; however, it is possible to not only learn it, but also strengthen it with constant exercise. Willpower is like a muscle; to keep it strong, you need to constantly exercise it. People with a great deal of willpower have the discipline to develop positive, successful habits. Even with an incredible amount of talent, without the discipline and motivation to create positive habits, it can be difficult to achieve success. Willpower and habits go hand in hand. It is critical to create good habits and take the actions necessary to stick to those habits day in and day out for greater success. Almost half of our daily actions are part of our habits, not decisions, so once the correct habits are in place, you will automatically perform those tasks on a day-to-day basis. (单选题 4.0分) What does the author say we need to do to strengthen our willpower? A Apply it continuously. B Learn from entrepreneurs. C Aim at success determinedly. D Keep it under control.

题目解答
答案
这是一道英语阅读理解题,我们需要根据文章内容找出作者认为如何能增强意志力(willpower)。
推理过程:
- 定位关键词: 题目问的是 "What does the author say we need to do to strengthen our willpower?"(作者说我们需要做什么来增强我们的意志力?)。我们需要在文章中寻找 "strengthen willpower" 相关的表述。
- 查找原文依据:
- 阅读文章第一段,最后一句提到:"...however, it is possible to not only learn it, but also strengthen it with constant exercise."(然而,不仅有可能学会它,还可以通过持续的锻炼来增强它。)这里的 "it" 指代的就是前文的 "willpower"(意志力)。
- 接着看文章第二段的第一句:"Willpower is like a muscle; to keep it strong, you need to constantly exercise it."(意志力就像一块肌肉;为了保持它的强大,你需要不断地锻炼它。)
- 分析选项:
- 原文中反复强调的关键动作是 "constant exercise"(持续的锻炼)或 "constantly exercise it"(不断地锻炼它)。
- A. Apply it continuously. (持续地应用它)。"Apply" 在这里可以理解为运用、实践,"continuously" 意为持续地。这与原文中的 "constant exercise"(持续的锻炼)意思高度吻合。
- B. Learn from entrepreneurs. (向企业家学习)。文章开头提到了企业家,但并没有说增强意志力需要向他们学习。
- C. Aim at success determinedly. (坚定地以成功为目标)。虽然文章讨论了成功,但这并不是作者提出的增强意志力的具体方法。
- D. Keep it under control. (把它控制在掌控之下)。文章第一段说 "Willpower is the ability to control yourself"(意志力是控制自己的能力),而不是说去控制意志力本身。
结论:
根据原文 "strengthen it with constant exercise" 和 "constantly exercise it",最符合题意的选项是 A,即持续地运用/锻炼意志力。
正确答案是:A
