【题目】阅读理解

A scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of some four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it. Some children reach eagerly for the treat they see. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait until the last moment.

By the time the children reach high school, something remarkable has happened. A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable. The children who gave in to temptation early on were more likely to be lonely, easily frustrated and inflexible .Actually, the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesn’t show up on an IQ test.

The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists’ concerns. But brain theory can’t explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant soul.

Here comes the theory of Daniel Goleman, writer of Emotional Intelligence: when it comes to predicting people’s success, brain ability as measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as “character”.

EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together; how one’s ability to handle stress, for instance, affects the ability to concentrate and put ntelligence to use. Among the elements for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%; the rest depends on everything from social class to luck.

While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously, some few fear EQ invites misuse.

【1】The experiment with the four-year-olds makes it clear that______ .

A. the age of 4 is a proper time for scientific experiment

B. emotional intelligence won’t show up until adolescence

C. the ability of self-control plays a role in personal success

D. candy can be used to measure a person’s emotional intelligence

【2】The underlined word “upbeat” in Paragraph 4 probably means______ .

A. kind B. floating C. excited D. cheerful

【3】Why does the author mention the experiment at the beginning of the text?

A. To amuse both the children and readers.

B. To prove the scientist’s wisdom.

C. To introduce the topic of the text.

D. To show us how to do an IQ test.

How to communicate effectively

Effective communication is a must for everyone who hopes to be successful. It helps express your thoughts and improves your career prospects (前景) as well as strengthens relationships. Therefore, it’s necessary to work hard to improve your communication skills.

【1】________

Before you are ready to talk to a group of people, you should think about what you are going to talk about. Although a printed copy of a speech may not be always necessary, highlighting a few important issues in your mind is a must. 【2】________ And it reduces the possibilities of getting away from the main issues.

Choose your words

Choice of words is the most important part of any communication. Simple, clear words are appropriate for the issue you are discussing. Needless to say, words that could make your audience unpleasant are best kept out of the communication. Most people tend to be careful about their language while at work. 【3】________ This may hurt your loved ones beyond your imagination.

Body language

Many people use body language by mistake and end up making a fool of themselves. Body language means keeping eye contact and using hand gestures only wherever required. 【4】________ This will make your talk more of a stage performance and defeat its purpose.

Listen and concentrate

Communication is an exchange of ideas. Once you are done with your part, listen carefully to what other people plan to say. 【5】________ Get rid of all distractions (分散注意力的事物) such as a phone before you begin communication. A distraction not only disturbs your focus, but it also causes your audience’s attention to wander.

A. Gather your thoughts

B. Prepare a copy of a speech

C. However, when they get home they often use colorful language.

D. This will help you remain focused throughout your communication.

E. If you are giving a speech, it is important that you focus on that activity only.

G. Remember, there is no need to speak every word with a gesture or facial expression.

I’m a senior 3 student. The college entrance exams are in the way and everyone around us is trying their best to help me. At school, all the teachers work very hardly, encouraging us to build up our confidence. Wherever we meet with difficulties, they are ready to come to our help. Meanwhile, our school also did a lot for us. For example, the library stays open up in the evenings. At home, we are also taken well care of and our parents often tell us to have good rest. I’m very grateful to the efforts of our parents and teachers. I’m determining to try my best to prepare for the exams.

书面表达

请阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。

Big or small, rejection affects us all. Harry Potter was rejected. So was The Twilight Saga. If authors J. K. Rowling and Stephenie Meyer hadn’t kept trying with publisher after publisher, we’d all have missed out on some great adventures.

Rejection doesn’t have to be about the big thing like not getting into your top college, not making the team, or not getting asked to the prom (舞会). Everyday situations can lead to the feeling of rejection, too, like if your joke doesn’t get a laugh, if no one remembers to save you a seat at the lunch table, or if the person you really like talks to everyone but you.

Feeling rejected is the opposite of feeling accepted. But being rejected (and we will all be at times) doesn’t mean someone isn’t liked, valued, or important. It just means that one time, in one situation, with one person, things didn’t work out.

Rejection hurts. But it’s impossible to avoid it altogether. In fact, you don’t want to— people who become too afraid of rejection might hold back from going after something they want. Sure, they avoid rejection, but they’re also 100% guaranteed to miss out on what they want but won’t try for.

【写作内容】

1. 以约30个词概括上文的主要内容。

2. 以约120个词就“How to deal with rejection”这一话题发表你的看法，内容包括：

(1) 讲述一次你被拒绝的经历； (2) 你当时的感受； (3) 你认为应该如何正确面对拒绝。

【写作要求】

作文中可以使用亲身经历或虚构的故事，也可以参照阅读材料的内容，但不得直接引用原文中的句子。

【评分标准】

概括准确，语言规范，内容合适，语篇连贯。

Imagine falling towards the planet Earth at【1】awesome speed of 300 kilometers per hour. You start your fall from over four kilometers above the Earth. And you have less than one minute before you pull your parachute (降落伞）cord. You are falling【2】fast that just turning your head can send you off【3】a different direction. This is the wild side of a sport that has not found its limit—freeflying.

Freeflying【4】(base) on the more traditional skydiving,【5】of which are eye-catching. However, it is more terrifying to watch freeflyers create formations and movements. Freeflyers,【6】the name suggests, enjoy the more spontaneous(即兴的）thrill of doing their own things.

The wildest trip for a freeflyers is falling ‘head down’. Falling ‘head first’ requires a great deal of control, which means【7】(travel) not only fast but also steadily. Even the【8】(slight) movement has a great effect on your direction.

They wear the amusing jumpsuits, strange helmets and smaller parachutes.【9】(actual), their parachutes are about one quarter the size of the traditional skydiver’s parachutes. It is only in the last few years【10】freeflying has gained any real public acceptance.
