《2025年一本英语五合一必刷题高中人教版》

A social psychologist shows how perfectionism can hold you back from real achievement and points the way out of the dilemma.
Curran, a psychology professor at the London School of Economics, shows how we are experiencing record levels of burnout, competitiveness, depression, and anxiety. The reason, he argues, is perfectionism, an urge that runs through everything from work to personal attractiveness. It is impossible to satisfy and dangerous to mental well - being. Curran examines it from various perspectives and provides a self - diagnostic tool called the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale. Many perfectionists think themselves as highly productive, but that belief is not supported by the evidence. In fact, perfectionists often repeat the same task over and over again rather than looking for innovations. They can also be intolerant of others, which is disturbing in workplaces and in relationships.
Still, perfectionism is ubiquitous. We are constantly told to be better, strive (努力) harder, and consume more. The filtered, glossy (虚饰的) images of social media set impossible standards that cannot be met, although some people go to enormous lengths in attempts to do so. Curran offers some practical advice on how to avoid the perfection urge and move into “the Republic of Good Enough”. The best way is with measured steps, coupled with realistic goals and an understanding of where you actually want to go in your life. He admits this won’t necessarily be easy with the forces of today’s culture working against us, though. An essential step is understanding perfectionism and recognizing that our need for perfection is largely conditioned by our culture. Acceptance involves not only accepting ourselves, but accepting we are not responsible for the culture we live in. He urges us for now, to “meet the world where it is” and accept what we can’t control.
The Perfection Trap is informative, convincing and timely. Reading this book will help you understand the destructiveness of perfectionism and will teach you how to accept your imperfect self in a culture that preys on your imperfections.

答案： 8.C 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Many perfectionists think themselves as highly productive, but that belief is not supported by the evidence. In fact, perfectionists often repeat the same task over and over again rather than looking for innovations.”可知，许多完美主义者认为自己效率很高，但这种看法并没有证据支持，事实上，完美主义者经常一遍又一遍地重复同样的任务。由此可推知，完美主义者工作效率不佳。故C项符合题意。
9.A 词义猜测题。上一段最后三句介绍了完美主义者的不足之处，根据画线词所在句句首的Still“然而”可知，该句与上文存在一定的转折关系；再根据画线词所在句的后两句可知，我们不断被告知要做得更好、更努力、消费更多。社交媒体上那些经过过滤的、虚饰的图片设定了不可能达到的标准，尽管有些人付出巨大努力试图达到这样的标准。这是在解释画线词所在句的内容，综上所述并结合选项可推知，此处应表示追求完美的做法很常见，这样画线词所在句既与上文构成一定的转折关系，又与后两句描述的现象相符。故画线词应与common“普遍的；常见的”意思相近。
10.D 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“An essential step is understanding perfectionism and recognizing that our need for perfection is largely conditioned by our culture.”可知，重要的一步是理解完美主义，并认识到我们对完美的需求在很大程度上是由我们的文化决定的。因此，当今的文化要求人们行事力求完美。故选D项。
11.B 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了Curran所写的《完美陷阱》，最后一段对这本书进行了总结，点明了阅读这本书的好处。由此可推知，本文的目的应是向读者推荐这本书。
