" I've been fighting cancer for almost four years and now I know that the cancer is gaining on me and it doesn't look like I'm going to win this one,"she wrote.For her list, at the site www. alicepyne. blogspot. com,she has included making everyone sign up to be a bone marrow donor (骨髓捐赠者)， swimming with sharks, meeting boy band Take That and getting a purple iPad computer.Messages of support and offers of help quickly flooded her webpage and it became one of the most talked about subjects on Twitter."Oh dear ！ And I thought that I was just doing a little blog for a few friends! " she wrote after her site attracted huge attention. "Thank you so much for all your lovely messages to me."Alice, who lives with her family in the northwest English town of Ulverston, revealed (透露)the manager of Take That had arranged for her to see the band after reading her blog. A group of local lawmakers have also joined forces with the Anthony blood cancer charity to encourage people to join its stem cell register.36(本题2分)What happened after Alice Pyne wrote her "Bucket List" ？A.People around the world sent messages to support her.B.People sent gifts to her from all over the world.C.A lot of people offered to donate bone marrow to her.D.The media called on people to help her.37(本题2分)It can be inferred from the second paragraph that Alice Pyne_.A.is unaware of her own conditionB.is very sad to know that she will dieC.is calm to know that death is approachingD.is still quite confident in fighting against cancer38(本题2分)Which of the following is NOT on Alice Pyne's "Bucket List" ？A.To ask people to donate bone marrow.B.To get a cool computer.C.To swim with sharks.D.To meet a boy.39(本题2分)Take That will arrange to_.A.meet Pyne in personB.help Pyne in any possible wayC.donate money to PyneD.invite Pyne to join the band【答案】36A37C38D39A【解析】36细节理解题。由倒数第三段的"Messages of support and offers of help quickly flooded her webpage and it became one of the most talked about subjects on Twitter." 可以看出帖子发布后，大量的支持信息和提供帮助的信息涌向了她的主页。37推理判断题。根据第二段的".I know that the cancer is gaining on me and it doesn't look like I'm going to win this one,"可知她对自己的病情进行了平静的叙述，由此可知C项符合语境。38细节理解题。第三段介绍了 "Bucket List"所有的内容，前三项都在里面，但是"boy band Take That"是一个乐队，而不是想见某一个男孩，所以应选D项。39细节理解题。由最后一段的".revealed the manager of Take That had arranged for her."可以看出， 她想见的那个乐队已经安排亲自见她了。故选A。  There is some unwelcome news for students preparing for exams -you don't need the break as much as you may think that makes you feel less tired.Scientists have long assumed that willpower is a limited resource, which is why you feel the need to have a rest, have a snack and come back to a task when you're feeling better. They argued that the only way to restore willpower was by rest, food or entertainment.But psychologists have challenged this theory, saying weak willpower is all in your head. They found that people's beliefs in willpower determine how long and how well they'll be able to work on a tough mental exercise. “If you think of willpower as something that's limited, you're more likely to be tired when you perform a difficult task,” said Prof. Veronika Job. “But if you think of willpower as something that is not easily used up, you can go on and on.”The researchers designed four experiments to test students' beliefs in willpower. After a tiring task, those, who believed or were led to believe that willpower is a limited resource, performed worse on standard concentration tests than those who thought of willpower as something they had more control over. They also found that leading up to final exam week, students who believed the limited resource theory ate junk food 24 percent more often than those who believed they had more control in resisting temptation.Mr. Job said. “The theory that willpower is a limited resource is interesting, but it has had unintended consequences. Students who may already have trouble studying are being told that their power of concentration is limited, and they need to take frequent breaks. But a belief in willpower as a non-limited resource makes people stronger in their ability to work through challenges.”The findings could help people who are battling temptation. Willpower isn't driven by a biologically based process as much as we used to think. The belief in it is what influences your behavior.40(本题2分)The theory that willpower is limited supports that _.A.people must eat snacks when they feel tiredB.people do need a break to restore their willpowerC.theres no way to strengthen peoples willpowerD.weak willpower doesnt affect peoples life much41(本题2分)What have the scientists long believed regarding willpower?A.It is in the charge of people.B.It is a limited resource.C.There is no way to restore willpower.D.It doesnt easily run out.42(本题2分)Which of the following best helps the students to prepare better for their exams?A.Push themselves even if they want to take a break.B.Dont eat fast food while studying.C.Remind themselves willpower is not limited.D.Stay in a comfortable and quiet place.43(本题2分)Whats the best title for the passage?A.A new theory about willpowerB.How to build strong willpowerC.The great influence of willpowerD.Willpower doesnt last long【答案】40B41B42C43A【解析】40细节理解题。根据第二段的句子“They argued that the only way to restore willpower was by rest, food or entertainment.”可知人们的意志力是有限的，人们需要休息修复他们的意志力。故选B。41细节理解题。根据文章第二段的句子“Scientists have long assumed that willpower (意志力) is a limited resource, which is why you feel the need to have a rest, have a snack and come back to a task when you're feeling better.”可知科学家长期以来认为意志力是一个有限的资源。故选B。42细节理解题。从文章第四段的句子“After a tiring task, those, who believed or were led to believe that willpower is a limited resource,
