Question

2．It's early January and for many，it's the right time of year to hit"reset"and （re）commit to all the things you want to happen in 2015：exercise，lose weight，and finally learn Chinese，etc．Our lists have been made，but the outcomes tent to let us down．
We may start off strong，but we can get steered off course before we realize it．You would have gont to the gym，but the delivery is coming in the morning so you have to wait for it．You did great last week keeping off the desserts，so what the heck-it's a birthday party，you deserve to have just one!You were totally up for going to that networking event，but your husband is away and the kids need you．Your mind becomes masterful at creating those convincing"reason"why you couldn't do something．
Of course，there are many times when we fight through the various circumstances that present themselves to achieve something that matters to us，but then there are other times when we buy into the excuse and stories we tell ourselves to defend why not to do something．
I've worked with many successful people over the years，and they frequently share similar habits and routines that make up the kind of mindset that is good at achieving goals and persevering through any circumstances．I've often taken note of them，and here are the top five most easy-to-do actions that can be applied to any goal or commitment you have．I fine these especially helpful sa we begin a fresh new year of goals．
1．GETEARLYWIINS
You cannot underestimate how much this fuels your commitment．Define what"early wins"look like and make sure that they're in your control．For example，if you said，"exercise four times weekly"，that's in your hands，so make sure you meet or exceed this number consistently．It fuels you to continue．
2．TRACK POSITIVE PROGRESS
It's important to know what you've accomplished．Mostly we focus on what ISN'T happening．This is bringing down your energy level and mood．Keep a notebook or journal （digitally or paper） of what is getting done so you can visibly see progress．If you have several goals，keep different journals．
3．COMMIT TO OTHERES
The more you share your goals with others，the more you become responsible for taking action．Take it a step further and enlist someone you will"report"to and share your progress．Make sure this person push you and not let you off the hook．
4．MAKE MISTAKES AND MOVE ON
You won't be perfect．When you're not，declare，embrace and own it，then move on fast．Recommit and get right back in the game．Also，disable your rearview mirrors （后视镜）．What happened before doesn't have to influence what happens next．
5．DEFINE YOUR OWN SUCCESS
There is no"right"way to get to your goal．It's yours and you're the author．Clearly map out the route to the top with milestones and what success looks like．The more clear you are on not only the"what"but the"how"，the easier it will be to take action．
The goals you create are hugely important，but in fact the most exciting part is the self-discovery in the process of getting there．Make this year an amazing year of breaking barriers and being"unreasonable"with yourself to achieve success．

Introduction	The（71）beginning/start  of the new year is the right time to reset and commit to goals in 2015．
（72）Disappointing/Discouraging outcomes in seeking success	•We may start off strong．but we can get lost during the course （73）unconsciously/unintentionally •We always find seemingly reasonable excuses in （74）defence/defense of ourselves when we give up halfway．
Five ways to become successful	•To fuel you to continue，define what"early wins"logically and （75）assess/evaluate/rate/estimate your ability accurately． •Focus on your present accomplishments and （76）record/noteyour progress by keeping notes and journals． •The more you share your goals"with others，the more （77）responsibilityyou will take for the future actions．•Admit your imperfection and move forward without （78）reviewingyour previous mistakes． •Choose the right way to meet your goal and clarify how to achieve success．
Conclusion	•The process of achieving goals is to （79）discover/explore yourself，which is more important than creating goals． •（80）Abandonendless excuses and break barriers to make 2015an amazing year．

Answer 1

分析 本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们介绍了新年计划如何才能实行，并取得成功的五个方法：获得首次胜利，了解自己的积极进展，同别人一起分享，在错误中前进，规划自己的成功路线．

解答 71．beginning/start．推理判断题．根据文章第一段的early January判断是一年的开始．故填beginning/start．
72．Disappointing/Discouraging．推理判断题．根据文章第二段和表格右边的对应内容判断这些都是令人沮丧、失望的结果．故填Disappointing/Discouraging．
73．unconsciously/unintentionally．细节理解题．根据文章第二段的第一句话We may start off strong，but we can steered off before we realized it中的before we realized it，故判断填 unconsciously/unintentionally．
74．defence/defense．推理判断题．根据文章第三段中的关键词defend，捍卫，做动词，因句子We always find seemingly reasonable excuses in  defence/defense of ourselves when we give up halfway是时间状语从句，其中in defence of做目的状语，为固定短语，意为防卫，捍卫，所以将defend改为名词形式，故填defence/defense．
75．assess/evaluate/rate/estimate．推理判断题．根据文章Get early wins中的关键词exceed，故判断填assess/evaluate/rate/estimate．
76．record/note．细节理解题．根据文章TRACK POSITIVE PROGRESS部分中的take a notebook．故判断填record/note．
77．responsibility．细节理解题．根据文章COMMIT TO OTHERES中的The more you share your goals with others，the more you become responsible for taking action的关键词responsible，因句子the more  responsibilityyou will take for the future actions，可知将形容词变为名词，故判断填responsibility．
78．reviewing．推理判断题．根据文章MAKE MISTAKES AND MOVE ON部分关键词rearview，go back等，故填reviewing．
79．discover/explore．推理判断题．根据文章倒数第一段的in fact the most exciting part is the self-discovery in the process of getting there．中的self-discovery意为自我发现，是名词，作宾语，句子The process of achieving goals is to  discover/explore yourself中to  discover/explore yourself是不定式短语，to后面跟动词，因此discover需要用动词形式，故填discover/explore．
80．Abandon．推理判断题．根据文章最后一段的Make this year an amazing year of breaking barriers and being"unreasonable"with yourself to achieve success中的break．故判断填Abandon．

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断，除此之外，做此类题时要注意总结归纳，用简洁的语言表述．
