核心考点
试题【As you grow rapidly through your teenage years,you will experience a lot of chan】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
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 intelligence 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.
小题1:Which of the following is true of EQ and IQ according to the text?
A.The higher a person’s EQ is, the higher his or her IQ is.
B.The higher a person’s IQ is, the higher his or her EQ is.
C.Some people can be blessed with lots of both, but some with little of either.
D.Scientists have already discovered the way in which EQ and IQ work together.
小题2: The underlined word “upbeat” in Paragraph 4 probably means         .
A.kindB.floatingC.excitedD.optimistic
小题3:What is most likely to be written in the paragraph that follows?
A.Information about famous people with high EQ.
B.Examples showing the opposite voice about EQ.
C.Some reasons why EQ is a relatively new field.
D.Strong demand for basic emotional education.

There are two types of twins; identical and non-identical twins. Identical twins are formed from a single egg in mother’s body which divides to from two separate babies. Identical twins look the same, and are often dressed by their parents in clothes of the same colors. It is often difficult to tell identical twins from each other, even when they are standing side by side. Non-identical twins come into being when the mother produces two separated eggs a the same time, both of which grow to form babies. In this case the twins look like normal brothers and sisters and are easy to tell one from the other.
  In the 1970s and 1980s a scientist did some research into twins. He invited many pairs of identical twins to university and asked them to take part in a week of tests. He was particularly interested in adopted (收养) twins who had been separated at birth. He would give the twins different kinds of tests to study their speed of thinking, their speech, their memory, the ways they saw and heard different things, and so on. Time and time again he found separated twins who preferred clothes of the same color, used the same kind of shaving soap, wore the same shaped square glasses and the same colored socks.
  There is a third type of twins, but it is a very unusual one. Twins which are joined together at birth are known in western countries as Siamese twins.
小题1:It is difficult to tell identical twins apart because _______.
A.they are dressed in the same clothesB.they are dressed in the same color
C.they are very alikeD.they are standing side by side
小题2:If the twins are easy to tell from each other, they are ______.
A.very probably non-identical twinsB.surely identical twins
C.surely identical twinsD.always a brother and a sister

There were two interesting pieces of news items in the paper a few years ago. One was about a man who received a bill from the telephone company for $ 2,000 a month for doing nothing.
  The connection between the two news items is simple; computers-the best invention of the 20th century. The telephone bill came from a computer which made a terrifying mistake; that man’s bill was only $ 23.26. The other item was not as amusing. A man walked into the unguarded computer room of a large packaged food company and expertly programmed the computer to pay him $ 2,000 a month for raw meat which he “supplied ” to the company. Of course he never sent the meat, but he certainly received the money . The computer wrote out a bill, and even “signed ” it. It was only a random (随便) check that uncovered the trick. It could be happening in thousands of other companies all over the world.
  Computers are not the magical workers that some people say they are. They make mistakes, they’re sometimes slower than human beings and they’re easily fooled.
  The US used to conscript (征兵) people with the help of a computer. The army sent out a card, which had to be filled in and sent back. It was easy to avoid being called up simply by spreading candle-wax(腊) on the card. The computer couldn’t read the card, and did nothing with it.
  It’s in our everyday life that computers cause many problems. Let’s get back to using people instead of computers, before a mistake that we can’t put right.
小题1:In the first paragraph we can conclude ______.
A.the paper is telling a lieB.the first sentence is the topic sentence
C.the two news items made people surprised
D.if a man did nothing at all for the telephone company, he would still get $2,000 a month
小题2:The main idea of the second paragraph is _______.
A.the computers are magical workers
B.the computers can do anything as well as man
C.the computers can write out the bill and even sign it
D.the computers sometimes also make mistakes
小题3:Computers ______.
A.were used to conscript peopleB.are usually faster than human beings
C.are not so magical as people expect
D.were not easily controlled and always fooled human beings
小题4:The writer thinks _______.
A.we’d better use people instead of computers in our everyday life
B.we should not use computers because they always make mistakes
C.computers are widely used in our everyday life
D.if we want to work well, don’t use the computers
