词汇理解
Watches tell us time. Many people let watches dictate to them when to do what, even if they don\’t feel like it. I call these people clock-timers, as they order their life based on the clock.
However, there are some people who refuse to do so. They, though, do not live without order. But their order is not based on an【C1】________cue, like the clock; instead, such people base their order on an internal cue: themselves. They will exercise after they woke up, whenever that might be; they will take a shower after they exercised; and then after the shower, they will go to work. I call these people event-timers, as they order their life based on events that【C2】________to them.
One study in a yoga class examined the influence of 3 on clocks. The yogis followed either an event-timer style or a clock-timer style while practising their yoga poses. In the event-timer class, instructors were asked to tell the yogis when to enter and【C4】________poses, with no reference to the length of the pose and without any clocks【C5】________in the room. In the clock-timer class, instructors were asked to tell in advance how long to【C6】________ each pose, and time was tracked using a clock on the wall.
【C7】________enough, the yogis that were in the clock-timer session missed more poses and gave up more poses than those yogis who were in the event-timer session. Moreover, the clock-timer yogis【C8】________their performance\’s success/failure to the instructors while the event-timer yogis attributed their performance to themselves. This suggests that clock-timer yogis【C9】________control of their performance to an external entity (instructor) while the event-timer yogis took control over themselves. Finally, event-timer yogis reported higher levels of happiness during the session that 【C10】________a while after, compared to clock-timer yogis.
A) attributed F) yielded K) attack
B) external G) accurate L) Surprisingly
C) assess H) leave M) present
D) lingered I) occur N) Fairly
E) reliance J) hold O) judgment
1.【C1】
B
解析：空格所在句的主语为their order，系动词为is，表语为based on an________cue，空格前为不定冠词an，空格后为名词cue，因此空格处应为形容词(a.)，修饰名词cue。空格所在句意为“只不过他们的条理并非基于________提示，比如时钟”。由instead“反而，相反”可知，分号前后内容语义相反，后文指出“他们会根据内部提示来安排生活”，空格处所填词汇应与“外部的”意思相近。根据词性归类，形容词中只有B项external“外部的”符合句意。故本题选B。
2.【C2】
I
解析：空格位于that引导的定语从句中，修饰、限定events，主语是that，谓语是________to，宾语是them，因此空格处应为动词(v.)。空格所在句意为“我将这些人称作‘事件时间安排者’，因为他们根据他们________的事情来安排生活”。结合上文“这些事件时间安排者并不依赖于时钟安排生活，而是依赖内部提示(即他们自己)来安排生活”可推知，他们根据自己内心的想法来安排生活。因此空格处所填词汇应与“想到，想起”意思相近。根据词性归类，动词中只有I项occur“发生，出现”符合句意，且occur to为固定短语，意为“(观念或想法)被想到，出现在头脑中”。故本题选I。
3.【C3】
E
解析：空格处所在句主谓宾结构完整，主语为One study，谓语为examined，宾语为influence，of________on clocks为介词短语作后置定语，修饰influence。因此空格处应为名词(n.)。空格所在句意为“一项在瑜伽课上开展的研究探讨了________时钟的影响”。结合上文所述两类人群(一类依赖于时钟安排生活的人，一类凭自己的想法安排生活的人)可推知，该研究将围绕上文介绍的现象展开，进一步探讨人们对时钟的依赖，因此空格处所填词汇应与“依赖”意思相近。根据词性归类，名词中只有E项reliance“依赖，依靠”符合句意。故本题选E。
4.【C4】
H
解析：空格所在句结构完整，主语为instructors，谓语为被动语态were asked to tell the yogis. when enter and________poses作tell的直接宾语。and连接的词语词性应一致，且在语义上为并列或递进关系，因此空格处应为动词原形(v.)。空格所在句意为“在‘事件计时法’的课堂上，教练需要告知瑜伽练习者何时开始以及何时________瑜伽姿势”。由上文可知，“事件计时法”根据他们想到的事情来安排生活，因此空格处所填词汇应与“结束”意思相近。根据词性归类，动词中只有H项leave“离开；丢弃”符合句意。故本题选H。
