四、阅读理解
About 10 years ago,I sat in my office,struggling to write an annual progress report for my dean.I enjoy writing scientific papers that engage my creativity and further my research.But report writing doesn’t come with any reward apart from the momentary satisfaction of finishing something.Like other routine paperwork,I find it hard to get through.So that day,I offered myself a reward:When I finished the report,I’d give myself 2 hours to examine slides(玻片) under the microscope—a task I’ve always loved but never had much time for as a faculty member.It’s a strategy I call “just for fun.”
The strategy was born out of challenges I experienced in graduate school.I usually delayed putting together reports for university administrators until threatening letters arrived.I never felt that paperwork was advancing my science,but rather sapping my energy and time for research.One of my committee members recognised and understood my difficulties.Then he told me about his strategy of rewarding himself with a fun project when he completed a task that he didn’t particularly enjoy.He advised me to think about doing something similar.I immediately liked the idea.
Over the course of my career,this strategy helped me complete and move past the parts of my job that I didn’t particularly enjoy.The rewards I gave myself provided a way to relax and reminded me why I love being a scientist.
As for that annual report,I spent an ordinary morning on it but got it done.Then I hurried over to the microscope,eager to inspect a series of slides that my collaborators(合作者) had sent a couple weeks earlier.To others,it may have looked like work.But to me,it was just for fun.
1.Why does the author dislike report writing?
A.He receives too little from it. B.It is extremely easy to finish.
C.It needs too much creativity. D.He doesn’t major in writing.
2.What does the underlined word “sapping” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to?
A.Acquire. B.Consume.
C.Lack. D.Provide.
3.How did the author get his strategy?
A.Through the inspiration of his report writing. B.Through the reward of his collaborators.
C.Through instructions of university administrators. D.Through a committee member’s suggestion.
4.What can we learn from the author’s experience?
A.Choose a career you really like. B.Seek fun when doing science research.
C.Motivate yourself to finish boring tasks. D.Reward yourself with a new strategy.

四、阅读理解
本文是记叙文。作者是一名科学家,但是一年一度的进展报告写作让作者觉得毫无意义,从中得不到多少的回报。在一位委员会成员朋友的启发下作者学会了在做这样的任务时给自己一个奖赏,就是完成任务后可以做自己喜欢的事情来放松一下。因而作者数十年来也享受自己的职业。
1.A 细节理解题。根据文章首段中的“But report writing doesn’t come with any reward apart from the momentary satisfaction of finishing something.”可知,报告写作除了给作者带来该任务完成的片刻满足外没有任何回报。因此,作者不喜欢这种报告写作。
2.B 词义猜测题。本句意思为“我从未感觉过写报告这种文书工作会促进我的科研,而是在消耗我的时间和精力”。这和作者在首段中表达不喜欢这种工作意思一致。故此处sapping意为“消耗”。
3.D 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“He advised me to think about doing something similar.”及上下句可知,是作者的一位委员会成员看到作者这种情况建议作者完成这种任务时给自己一个奖赏。故选D项。
4.C 推理判断题。全文作者通过自己的经历告诉我们,在遇到没有多大意义且无趣的工作任务时,我们可以通过给自己一点奖赏来激励自己完成该任务。作者从中受益匪浅。故选C项。
