问题     It’s part of the new year ritual—an annual attempt to start afresh and turn over a new leaf. But making resolutions is a near pointless exercise, psychologists say.
   【C1】______than a quarter of those asked for a university study had managed to【C2】______to their resolutions. Of those who【C3】______, many had followed the silly【C4】______of self-help experts—which almost【C5】______disaster.
    Richard Wiseman, a psychologist who【C6】______the analysis, said his team had asked 700 people about their【C7】______for achieving new year resolutions. Their goals【C8】______from losing weight or giving【C9】______smoking to gaining a qualification or【C10】______a better relationship.
    Of the 78% who failed, many had focused on the downside of not achieving the goals; they had controlled their strong desires, fantasised about being successful, and adopted a role model or 【C11】______willpower alone.
    On the other hand, people who kept their resolutions tended to have【C12】______their goal into smaller steps and【C13】______themselves when they achieved one of these. They also told their friends about their goals, focused on the benefits of success and【C14】______a diary of their progress.
    Making new year resolutions at the【C15】______minute can backfire(适得其反), Wiseman warned,【C16】______such decisions tend to be less【C17】______motivated. "If you do it on the【C18】______of the moment, it probably doesn’t mean that much to you and you won’t give it your all. Failing to achieve your【C19】______is often psychologically harmful because it can rob people of a【C20】______of self control." [br] 【C20】

选项 A、thought
B、feeling
C、mind
D、sense

答案 D

解析 考查名词辨析。self control是人的一种意识,故选sense“感觉,感知”。feeling也是“感觉”之义,但侧重于人的心情方面的感觉,在此没sense恰当。thought“想法”;mind“头脑,思维”。
