A.when they were hungry
B.when they felt relaxed
C.later in the day

2.According to Dweck’s research, decision fatigue tends to affect those who .
A.hold conflicting beliefs
B.have few financial resources
C.develop self-destructive habits
D.think their willpower is limited
正确答案:D
解析:原文直接引用Dweck的话:’while decision fatigue does occur, it primarily affects those who believe that willpower runs out quickly.’ 并进一步说明:’people get fatigued … only when they believe that willpower is a limited resource’. 因此D为正确答案。
解析:Tierney explicitly argues that decision fatigue depletes willpower; Dweck acknowledges ‘decision fatigue does occur’, though she qualifies its dependence on belief.二者均承认decision fatigue现象存在,故B正确。A、C虽部分成立但非双方共同明确主张;D错误(Dweck未说willpower无限,只说其可被信念调节)。
4.What would help reduce decision fatigue according to Paragraph 6?
A.A fat-free drink.
B.A sugary cookie.
C.A pleasurable exercise.
D.A comforting atmosphere.
正确答案:B
解析:Paragraph 6指出:’As long as the food contained sugar, it didn’t matter whether the stuff was rewardingly tasty.’ 并强调’it was the sugar, not the pleasure, that actually boosted brain performance.’ 因此含糖食物(如sugary cookie)有效,而pleasure无关;fat-free drink未必含糖;exercise和atmosphere未被提及。
5.What effect does sugar have on those believing in limited willpower according to Dweck?
A.It weakens their brain performance.
B.It causes a deficit of energy.
C.It boosts their self-control.
D.It intensifies their fatigue.
正确答案:C
解析:原文明确说:’We find that sugar improves self-control only for the people who believe in limited willpower’,且解释机制为’If you give them sugar and they get a surge of energy, they don’t show a deficit.’ 故C正确。
6.What annoys the author upon his return from a business trip?
A.He is informed of having no reward for his overwork.

C.He fails to receive some of his expected emails.
D.He forgets to claim his luggage at the airport.
正确答案:B
解析:首句即点明:’I’m pretty tired of getting back from a business trip and finding my inbox filled with every supplier that I used asking for my commentary on their services.’ 直接对应B选项。
8.What does the author think electronic survey tools help hotels to do?
A.Satisfy their customers’ needs.
B.Expand their business scope.
C.Innovate their facilities.
D.Generate great profits.
正确答案:D
解析:原文指出:’hotel brands with higher scores apparently make more money than those with lower ones.’ 并称这些调查是’just a cheap way of asking me to improve someone else’s enterprise’,核心目的是提升利润(make more money),故D最准确。
