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-in- creasing burden of mental fatigue. In such a【S10】______, I work as hard as I can then let the unconscious take over.

[A] question          [F] easy            [K] tedious
[B] reluctant         [G] task            [L] situation
[C] consistently      [H] postpone        [M] accept
[D] vicious           [I] necessary       [N] breakthrough
[E] compound          [J] actually        [O] prevent
【S1】
选项
答案D
解析 由circle(循环)可以看出，此处需要一个形容词来修饰，下文说：Failure breeds fatigue，and the fatigue…tends to...the failure，由此可看出这是一个恶性循环，在给出的形容词选项中只有vicious(恶意的，刻毒的)具有明显的否定含义，vicious circle是一个固定搭配，意思是“恶性循环”。
