问题     There is nothing more fatiguing than not succeeding — being blocked, not moving ahead. It is a【S1】circle. Failure breeds fatigue, and the fatigue makes it harder to get to work, which tends to【S2】the failure. We experience this tiredness in two main ways: as start-up fatigue and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a【S3】that we are forced to take up. Either because it is too【S4】or because it is too difficult, we avoid it. And the longer we【S5】it, the more tired we feel.
    Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not【S6】physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The remedy is obvious, though perhaps not【S7】to apply: an exertion of will power. The moment I find myself turning away from a job, or putting it under a pile of other things I have to do, I clear my desk of everything else and attach the objectionable item first. To【S8】start-up fatigue, always tackle the most difficult job first.
    Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Here we are not【S9】to get started but we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear insurmountable and however hard we work, we fail again and again. The mounting experience of failure carries with it an ever-increasing burden of mental fatigue. In such a【S10】,I work as hard as I can then let the unconscious take over.
A) question I) necessary
B) reluctant J) actually
C) consistently K) tedious
D) vicious L) situation
E) compound M) accept
F) easy N) breakthrough
G) task O) prevent
H) postpone [br] 【S1】
选项
答案 D
解析 由circle(循环)可以看出，此处需填一形容词来修饰，由下文可看出这是一个恶性循环，在给出的形容词选项中只有D)vicious(恶意的，恶毒的)具有明显的否定含义，vicious circle意为“恶性循环”。
