You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Imagine sitting down to a big dinner: a massive

26、 steak, a large portion of fried potatoes, and cake for dessert. After eating so much, you should be too full to eat another bite. But some people experience a powerful urge to keep eating, even after 26 in a huge meal, a behavior that makes little sense, as most adults are well-versed in the danger

27、s of obesity, which researchers have shown correlates with 27 health issues and is even linked to increased 28 risk. But some people still keep eating long after they should stop, a phenomenon Dr. Susan Thompson calls insatiable ( 永不满足的) hunger. It is characterized by two main 29 : not being satisfi

28、ed by eating, and having a desire to stay sedentary (久坐不动的).This is at 30 with how humans are biologically programmed. When there was a great deal of food available, ancient people would gorge on calories; this massive calorie intake was accompanied by an urge to get active. Humans were also program

29、med for something called compensation, which is the brains 31 mechanism for preventing the accumulation of excess weight. With compensation, if you eat one large meal in the morning, you are naturally 32 to eat less for the rest of the day.But recent studies show that 70% of American adults have los

30、t the ability to naturally compensate for the calories they consume; worse 33 , a significant number of them report 34 hunger halfway through an eating session, but, by the end of the meal, they feel the same or higher levels of hunger than when they sat down. Dr. Thompson argues that the main cause

31、 of this phenomenon is the modern diet, which is 35 of food high in sugar, carbohydrates and calories.A) attributesB) comprisedC) concededD) conservationE) diminishingF) farG) inclinedH) indulgingI) innumerableJ) mortalityK) oddsL) plightsM) regulatoryN) stillO) unmatchableSection BDirections: In th

32、is section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer

33、the questions by making the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.The problem with being perfectA) When psychologist Jessica Pryor lived near an internationally renowned university, she once saw a student walking into a library holding a sleeping bag and a coffee maker. She has heard of graduate st

34、udents spending 12 to 18 hours at a time in the lab. Their schedules are meant to be literally punishing: If they are scientists-in-training, they wont allow themselves to watch Netflix until their experiments start generating results. Relationships become estranged ( 疏远的)-people stop inviting them

35、to social gatherings or dinner parties, which leads them to spend even more time in the lab, Pryor told me.B) Along with other therapists, Pryor, who is now with the Family Institute at Northwestern University, is trying to sound the alarm about a tendency among young adults and college students to

36、strive for perfection in their worksometimes at any cost. Though it is often portrayed as a positive trait, Pryor and others say extreme perfectionism can lead to depression, anxiety, and even suicide.C) Whats more, perfectionism seems to be on the rise. In a study of thousands of American, Canadian

37、, and British college students published earlier this year, Thomas Curran of the University of Bath and Andrew Hill of York St. John University found that todays college students report higher levels of perfectionism than college students did during the 1990s or early 2000s. They measured three type

38、s of perfectionism: self-oriented, or a desire to be perfect; socially prescribed, or a desire to live up to others expectations; and other-oriented, or holding others to unrealistic standards. From 1989 to 2016, they found, self-oriented perfectionism scores increased by 10 percent, socially prescr

39、ibed scores rose by 33 percent, and other-oriented perfectionism increased by 16 percent.D) A person living with an other-oriented perfectionist might feel criticized by the perfectionist spouse for not doing household chores exactly the right way. One of the most common things couples argue about i

40、s the proper way of loading the dishwasher, says Amy Bach, a psychologist in Providence, Rhode Island.E) Curran describes socially prescribed perfectionism as My self-esteem is contingent on what other people think. His study didnt examine the causal reasons for its rise, but he assumes that the ris

41、e of both standardized testing and social media might play a role. These days, LinkedIn alerts us when our rival gets a new job, and Instagram can let us know how well liked our lives are compared with a friends. In an opinion piece earlier this year, Curran and Hill argue that society has also beco

42、me more dog-eat-dog. Over the last 50 years, public interest and civic responsibility have been progressively eroded, they write, replaced by a focus on self-interest and competition in a supposedly free and open marketplace. We strive for perfection, it seems, because we feel we must in order to ge

43、t ahead. Michael Brustein, a clinical psychologist in Manhattan, says when he first began practicing in 2007, he was surprised by how prevalent perfectionism was among his clients, despite how little his graduate training had focused on thephenomenon. He sees perfectionism in, among others, clients

44、who are entrepreneurs, artists, and tech employees. Youre in New York because youre ambitious, you have this need to strive, he says. But then your whole identity gets wrapped into a goal.F) Perfectionism can, of course, be a positive force. Think of professional athletes, who train aggressively for

45、 ever-higher levels of competition. In well-adjusted perfectionism, someone who doesnt get the gold is able to forget the setback and move on. In maladaptive (不当的) perfectionism, meanwhile, people make an archive of all their failures. They revisit these archives constantly, thinking, as Pryor puts

46、it, I need to make myself feel terrible so I dont do this again. Then they double down, raising the expectation bar even higher, which increases the likelihood of defeat, which makes you self-critical, so you raise the bar higher, work even harder, she says. Next comes failure, shame, and pushing yo

47、urself even harder toward even higher and more impossible goals. Meeting them becomes an all or nothing premise. Pryor offered this example: Even if Im an incredible attorney, if I dont make partner in the same pacing as one of my colleagues, clearly that means Im a failure.G) Brustein says his perf

48、ectionist clients tend to devalue their accomplishments, so that every time a goal is achieved, the high lasts only a short time, like a gas tank with a hole in it. If the boss says you did a great job, its because he doesnt know anything. If the audience likes your work, thats because its too stupid to know what good art actually is. But, therapists say, there are also different ways perfectionism manifests. Some perfectionist
