A
Plan your 2020 vacation. The following four places are your fantastic destinations. You can enjoy a completely different experience.
Panama
Costa Rica and the Caribbean often enjoy much more popularity than Panama, but visitors should consider the centre American country if they want a “less crowded paradise”. The travel site states, “Here, horses are still the primary means of transportation and local fishermen serve fresh seafood and fruit from their home kitchens for roughly $ 6 a plate.”
Israel
If you’re looking for a once in a lifetime experience, National Geographic Travel says visitors should head to Jerusalem to celebrate Easter with thousands of pilgrims (朝圣者). If the crowds get too huge, visitors are told to take a boat ride to King Herod’s 2, 000 year old Masada fortress(要塞) or set off on a peaceful morning boat ride across the sea of Galilee.
Svalbard
If you’re a fan of winter activities, but are in need of some sun, then perhaps a trip to Svalbard is a good choice. National Geographic Travel notes, “The Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard is located about 620 miles south of the North Pole.In late spring, the sun never falls below the horizon—meaning you can take in all the Vitamin D you desire.” Popular activities in the area include hiking and wildlife spotting.
Namibia
During spring, Namibia is regarded as the perfect destination with reduced travel costs on cooler evenings. In late May, National Geographic Travel says that the watering holes start to dry up again, which attracts giraffes and black rhino from their hiding spots. If you’re fond of adventurous exploration, head to the Namibia Desert for a spot of sand boarding.
21．What can visitors do in Panama
A．Hike in the mountains. B．Ride a boat across the sea.
C．Taste fresh seafood. D．Enjoy full day sunshine.
22．What does Svalbard and Namibia have in common
A．They allow visitors to play in the sand. B．They offer the chance to watch animals.
C．They help visitors to save more money. D．They mainly focus on adventurous travels.
23．Where will a history lover most probably go
A．Israel. B．Panama.
C．Svalbard. D．Namibia.
B
A few years ago, David, a top manager, thought his life wasn’t moving forward. So he started to set himself 30-day challenges. The idea was simple: think of something you want to add to your life-or to give up-and try it every day for 30 days.
David began with easy projects like going to work by bike, not watching TV and giving up sugar. Then he tried more difficult ones, like writing a novel in 30 days. David learned that if you do something for 30 days. it can become a habit. If you stop doing something for 30 days, you can break the habit. As he did harder challenges, he got more confident. He learned that he could do something if he really wanted to do it. After doing the challenges for a few months, he had enough confidence to climb the highest mountain in Africa.
David gave an online talk about how the challenges changed his life. More than 5 million people around the world have watched his talk and the 30-day challenge quickly became very popular.
24．What was David a few years ago
A．A doctor. B．A manager. C．A teacher. D．A soldier.
25．What is one of David’s more difficult projects
A．Going to work by bike. B．Not watching TV.
C．Writing a novel. D．Giving up sugar.
26．How did David feel as he did harder challenges
A．More careful B．More confident.
C．Less lucky. D．Less comfortable.
27．What would be the best title for the text
A．A working report. B．The life in Africa.
C．An important notice. D．The 30-day challenge
C
A study has shown how ecotourism in the Philippines has changed people’s attitudes towards marine (海洋的) conservation (保护).
Researchers from the University of Victoria and other institutes in Philippines visited three sites where tourists pay to swim with whale sharks in the wild. They interviewed a range of locals in Oslob, Donsol and Pintuyan, including fishers and ex-whale shark hunters. At Oslob, the largest of the three sites, people were more likely to speak about the resulting improvements to their quality of life and an increase in job opportunities. At the smaller, less profitable sites, responses were more likely to be about the changes in how people behaved towards the whale sharks.
Dr. Jackie Ziegler, leader of the team of researchers, said, “Many of the people reported they now care about and value whale sharks because of tourism activities. They also expressed the community’s emotional connection to the species and the strong need to protect them. Before the introduction of tourist activities, most of the locals admitted harming the sharks by hitting them with stones or riding them.” In terms of attitudes towards the wider marine environment, the majority of respondents now actively encourage others to care for the ocean and they also use more sustainable (可持续的) fishing practices.
The study also acknowledged the possible negative effects of tourism on the marine environment, such as effects on the health of local coral reefs (珊瑚礁) and of the sharks. It concluded that further studies were needed to assess these effects before firm conclusion could be drawn on the positive effect of whale sharks tourism on ocean conservation.
Nevertheless, the researchers say their work suggests ecotourism can be an effective means of strengthening protection. “Bringing in the views of the local tour operation to the study was necessary in uncovering the true effect of whale shark tourism and the wider benefit to the ocean conservation in the Philippines,” Dr Ziegler added.
28．When interviewed, local people did NOT talk about __________
A．Improvement of life. B．Behaviours towards sharks.
C．Increases of work chances. D．Relationships between people.
29．Which word can best describe locals’ action towards marine life before ecotourism
A．Protective. B．Satisfying. C．Unsustainable. D．Suitable.
30．What will the researchers possibly do next
A．Improve local living conditions. B．Draw a firm conclusion about the effect.
C．Encourage fishers to hunt more whale sharks. D．Assess possible negative effects tourism may bring.
31．What may be the best title of the text
A．Ecotourism Transforms Locals’ Attitudes to Marine Conservation.
B．Ecotourism Does Much Good to Marine Life as Before.
C．Marine ecotourism Gives Rise to a New Kind of Business.
D．Ecotourism Has Brought Large Benefits to People.
C
Technology use seems to be the new wave of addiction hitting people of all ages. Its extreme use can be compared to the use of drugs, which is called Plugin Heroin.
The next time you’re in a crowded public place, look at the people around you. It’s hard to find someone who isn’t glued to the tiny screen, fingers moving at lightning speeds, texting their friends, emailing co-workers or listening to music. It may seem ridiculous that someone is that addicted to such a small object. I’ve seen people who seem to be at their wits’ end (不知所措) if their phone or iPad has been taken away, lost or left at home.
Some people may ask, “What’s wrong with technology use It’s a way for people to communicate.” While this is true, the overuse of technology isn’t always appropriate in certain settings. Schools are becoming stricter about the use of cell phones, iPads and other electronics in classrooms. Various workplaces have signs hanging on their walls warning employees that “Cell phone use is not permitted” or “Cell phones are forbidden.”
Electronics may be a way for people to communicate and stay in touch with each other, but the disadvantages may outweigh the benefits. People are losing the ability to hold face-to-face conversations with others. However, it’s hard to avoid electronics in this day and age because almost everything is turning into an electronic format. Books, originally meant for paper design, are now being transferred (转存) to electronic forms. Photo albums, and even yearbooks, can now be viewed via the internet. With this growing trend, future generations are bound to become even more addicted to technology.
Is there a cure for electronic addiction Simply turning electronics off for an hour or two a day may help to an extent, but it will not completely rid electronic addiction. There only seems to be one cure left, and it may be the hardest: self-control.
32．What is Plug-in Heroin
A．The growing popularity of electronics. B．The serious consequences of technology use
C．The unreasonable dependence on electronics. D．The future possibility of technology development.
33．The second paragraph is intended to __________.
A．tell people it is ridiculous to use electronics B．persuade people to quit electronics
C．prove electronics are harmful to people D．show people’s addiction to electronics
34．Why is it difficult to avoid electronics nowadays
A．Too many things are available in electronic forms B．The design of paper books is less interesting.
C．It is a must to use electronics to keep in touch. D．Fewer choices are left for communication.
35．In the author’s opinion, what is the best way to cure electronic addiction
A．Turn off the electronics for an hour or two.
B．Be stricter about the use of cell phones, iPads and other electronics in classrooms
C．Learn to control yourself.
D．Cell phones are forbidden in the workplaces.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
As the concept of emotional intelligence (EI) has gone global, we’ve watched professionals fail as they try to improve their emotional intelligence because they either don’t know where to focus their efforts or they haven’t understood how to improve these skills on a practical level. In our work consulting with companies and coaching leaders, we have found that if you’re looking to develop particular EI strengths, it helps to consider areas for improvement others have identified along with the goals you want to achieve, and then to actively build habits in those areas rather than simply relying on understanding them conceptually.
The first step is to get a sense of how your self-perception (how you see yourself) differs from your reputation (how others see you); 36 . For example, most of us think that we’re good listeners, but very often that’s really not the case. Without this external reality check, it will be difficult for you to identify the ways that your actions affect your performance. Getting feedback from others can also provide proof of the necessity of shifting our behaviour and motivation to do so.
To give you the best sense of where the differences lie between your self-perception and reputation, you should use a 360-degree feedback assessment that takes into account the multiple facets of EI; 37 . Secondly, when you get your feedback from an assessment, let that inform what you want to improve. But also consider what your goals are. When it comes to cultivating strengths in emotional intelligence, 38 . Your emotional intelligence is so tied up in your sense of self that being intrinsically motivated to make the effort matters more when changing long-standing habits than it does when simply learning a skill.
That means the areas that you choose to actively work on should lie at the crossroads of the feedback you’ve gotten and the areas that are most important to your own aspirations; 39 as you do the work of strengthening your emotional intelligence.
Once you’ve determined which EI skills you want to focus on, identify specific actions that you’ll take. If you’re working on becoming a better listener, for example, you might decide that when you’re conversing with someone you’ll take the time to pause, listen to what they have to say, and check that you understand before you reply. Keep it specific: 40 .
By starting to change your routine reactions, you’ll be well on your way to figuring out the old habits that aren’t serving you well and transforming them into new, improved ones that do.
A．you’re at a huge disadvantage if you’re only interested because others said you should be
B．bearing your goals in mind is so helpful to improve the positive impact of your current EI habits
C．you should also take every opportunity to practice the skill you are developing, no matter how small
D．understanding the impacts of your EI habits relative to your goals will keep you going over the long run
E．the key is to find one that guarantees no personal information of those giving you feedback will be leaked
F．how others see you will to some extent decide how you see others and help you become a good listener
G．this is true because we can be blind to how we express and read the emotional components of our interactions

Jenny was the only child in her home. She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat, but it was not even possible for her, since she had nothing with her. She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave.
The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles ”
“Oh, yes ... but I don’t have money on me ...”she replied.
“That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man, “Come in.”
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently.
“What is it ” asked the man kindly.
“Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness!”said Jenny as she wiped her tears, “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared with a stranger!”
Hearing the words, the seller smiled and said, “Girl, do you really think so I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you Have you expressed your gratitude to her ”
Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock; she remembered her mother’s familiar face and weathered hands.“Why did l not think of that A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted, but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.”
On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.

【原文】
W: This is the 6 o’clock news for Tuesday 25 November. And first the headlines：
The government has promised to help the poor farmers in the northern part of the country who haven’t seen rain for nearly two years. And in Sydney a group of school children are successfully rescued from a plane which landed in the sea shortly after takeoff. Transport workers are on strike in Melbourne asking for a pay raise. And the strike may spread to other states.
Now let’s focus on the school children. They were travelling in a plane from Sydney to Queensland to take part in a musical concert. They found themselves swimming for the shore when their plane had to land in the sea just three minutes after taking off from Sydney Airport. The pilot managed to bring the aircraft and its 50 passengers down safely in the calm waters of Botany Bay where boats were able to come to the rescue of the children. It was a weekend, and there were hundreds of boats in the bay enjoying the good weather. This undoubtedly helped the rescue operation. The children said they owed their lives to the skill of the pilot. But the pilot replied modestly that it was all part of a day’s work. However, all their musical instruments were lost and they never got to play at their concert.

A
Plan your 2020 vacation. The following four places are your fantastic destinations. You can enjoy a completely different experience.
Panama
Costa Rica and the Caribbean often enjoy much more popularity than Panama, but visitors should consider the centre American country if they want a “less crowded paradise”. The travel site states, “Here, horses are still the primary means of transportation and local fishermen serve fresh seafood and fruit from their home kitchens for roughly $ 6 a plate.”
Israel
If you’re looking for a once in a lifetime experience, National Geographic Travel says visitors should head to Jerusalem to celebrate Easter with thousands of pilgrims (朝圣者). If the crowds get too huge, visitors are told to take a boat ride to King Herod’s 2, 000 year old Masada fortress(要塞) or set off on a peaceful morning boat ride across the sea of Galilee.
Svalbard
If you’re a fan of winter activities, but are in need of some sun, then perhaps a trip to Svalbard is a good choice. National Geographic Travel notes, “The Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard is located about 620 miles south of the North Pole.In late spring, the sun never falls below the horizon—meaning you can take in all the Vitamin D you desire.” Popular activities in the area include hiking and wildlife spotting.
Namibia
During spring, Namibia is regarded as the perfect destination with reduced travel costs on cooler evenings. In late May, National Geographic Travel says that the watering holes start to dry up again, which attracts giraffes and black rhino from their hiding spots. If you’re fond of adventurous exploration, head to the Namibia Desert for a spot of sand boarding.
21．What can visitors do in Panama
A．Hike in the mountains. B．Ride a boat across the sea.
C．Taste fresh seafood. D．Enjoy full day sunshine.
22．What does Svalbard and Namibia have in common
A．They allow visitors to play in the sand. B．They offer the chance to watch animals.
C．They help visitors to save more money. D．They mainly focus on adventurous travels.
23．Where will a history lover most probably go
A．Israel. B．Panama.
C．Svalbard. D．Namibia.

A few years ago, David, a top manager, thought his life wasn’t moving forward. So he started to set himself 30-day challenges. The idea was simple: think of something you want to add to your life-or to give up-and try it every day for 30 days.
David began with easy projects like going to work by bike, not watching TV and giving up sugar. Then he tried more difficult ones, like writing a novel in 30 days. David learned that if you do something for 30 days. it can become a habit. If you stop doing something for 30 days, you can break the habit. As he did harder challenges, he got more confident. He learned that he could do something if he really wanted to do it. After doing the challenges for a few months, he had enough confidence to climb the highest mountain in Africa.
David gave an online talk about how the challenges changed his life. More than 5 million people around the world have watched his talk and the 30-day challenge quickly became very popular.

A study has shown how ecotourism in the Philippines has changed people’s attitudes towards marine (海洋的) conservation (保护).
Researchers from the University of Victoria and other institutes in Philippines visited three sites where tourists pay to swim with whale sharks in the wild. They interviewed a range of locals in Oslob, Donsol and Pintuyan, including fishers and ex-whale shark hunters. At Oslob, the largest of the three sites, people were more likely to speak about the resulting improvements to their quality of life and an increase in job opportunities. At the smaller, less profitable sites, responses were more likely to be about the changes in how people behaved towards the whale sharks.
Dr. Jackie Ziegler, leader of the team of researchers, said, “Many of the people reported they now care about and value whale sharks because of tourism activities. They also expressed the community’s emotional connection to the species and the strong need to protect them. Before the introduction of tourist activities, most of the locals admitted harming the sharks by hitting them with stones or riding them.” In terms of attitudes towards the wider marine environment, the majority of respondents now actively encourage others to care for the ocean and they also use more sustainable (可持续的) fishing practices.
The study also acknowledged the possible negative effects of tourism on the marine environment, such as effects on the health of local coral reefs (珊瑚礁) and of the sharks. It concluded that further studies were needed to assess these effects before firm conclusion could be drawn on the positive effect of whale sharks tourism on ocean conservation.
Nevertheless, the researchers say their work suggests ecotourism can be an effective means of strengthening protection. “Bringing in the views of the local tour operation to the study was necessary in uncovering the true effect of whale shark tourism and the wider benefit to the ocean conservation in the Philippines,” Dr Ziegler added.
28．When interviewed, local people did NOT talk about __________
A．Improvement of life. B．Behaviours towards sharks.
C．Increases of work chances. D．Relationships between people.
29．Which word can best describe locals’ action towards marine life before ecotourism
A．Protective. B．Satisfying. C．Unsustainable. D．Suitable.
30．What will the researchers possibly do next
A．Improve local living conditions. B．Draw a firm conclusion about the effect.
C．Encourage fishers to hunt more whale sharks. D．Assess possible negative effects tourism may bring.
31．What may be the best title of the text
A．Ecotourism Transforms Locals’ Attitudes to Marine Conservation.
B．Ecotourism Does Much Good to Marine Life as Before.
C．Marine ecotourism Gives Rise to a New Kind of Business.
D．Ecotourism Has Brought Large Benefits to People.

这是一篇说明文，本文主要讲述一项研究的结果，生态旅游可以让人们转变对海洋保护的态度。
【详情解析】
28．细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句“At Oslob, the largest of the three sites, people were more likely to speak about the resulting improvements to their quality of life and an increase in job opportunities. At the smaller, less profitable sites, responses were more likely to be about the changes in how people behaved towards the whale sharks. (在三个地方中最大的Oslob，人们更愿意谈论由此带来的生活质量的改善和就业机会的增加。在规模较小、利润较低的地方，人们的反应更可能是关于人们的行为给鲨鱼带来变化。)”可知，当地人关心生活质量的改善、就业机会的增加和人们对鲨鱼的行为，不包括“人与人之间的关系”。故选D项。
29．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Before the introduction of tourist activities, most of the locals admitted harming the sharks by hitting them with stones or riding them. (在引进旅游活动之前，大多数当地人承认用石头打鲨鱼或骑鲨鱼来伤害它们。)”可知，在生态旅游之前人们对海洋生物的行为是“不可持续的”。故选C项。
30．细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“The study also acknowledged the possible negative effects of tourism on the marine environment, such as effects on the health of local coral reefs(珊瑚礁)and of the sharks. It concluded that further studies were needed to assess these effects before firm conclusion could be drawn on the positive effect of whale sharks tourism on ocean conservation.(该研究还还承认旅游业可能对海洋环境产生负面影响，比如说对当地珊瑚礁和对鲨鱼的影响。该研究总结，在就鲨鱼旅游对鲨鱼保护的积极影响得出确切结论之前，需要进一步的研究来评估这些负面影响。)”可知，研究者接下来要进一步评估旅游带来的负面影响，故选D项。
31．主旨大意题。通读全文并结合文章第一段“A study has shown how ecotourism in the Philippines has changed people’s attitudes towards marine(海洋的)conservation(保护). (一项研究表明，菲律宾的生态旅游改变了人们对海洋保护的态度。)”可知，本文主要讲述一项研究的结果，生态旅游可以让人们转变对海洋保护的态度。故选A项。
C
Technology use seems to be the new wave of addiction hitting people of all ages. Its extreme use can be compared to the use of drugs, which is called Plugin Heroin.
The next time you’re in a crowded public place, look at the people around you. It’s hard to find someone who isn’t glued to the tiny screen, fingers moving at lightning speeds, texting their friends, emailing co-workers or listening to music. It may seem ridiculous that someone is that addicted to such a small object. I’ve seen people who seem to be at their wits’ end (不知所措) if their phone or iPad has been taken away, lost or left at home.
Some people may ask, “What’s wrong with technology use It’s a way for people to communicate.” While this is true, the overuse of technology isn’t always appropriate in certain settings. Schools are becoming stricter about the use of cell phones, iPads and other electronics in classrooms. Various workplaces have signs hanging on their walls warning employees that “Cell phone use is not permitted” or “Cell phones are forbidden.”
Electronics may be a way for people to communicate and stay in touch with each other, but the disadvantages may outweigh the benefits. People are losing the ability to hold face-to-face conversations with others. However, it’s hard to avoid electronics in this day and age because almost everything is turning into an electronic format. Books, originally meant for paper design, are now being transferred (转存) to electronic forms. Photo albums, and even yearbooks, can now be viewed via the internet. With this growing trend, future generations are bound to become even more addicted to technology.
Is there a cure for electronic addiction Simply turning electronics off for an hour or two a day may help to an extent, but it will not completely rid electronic addiction. There only seems to be one cure left, and it may be the hardest: self-control.
32．What is Plug-in Heroin
A．The growing popularity of electronics. B．The serious consequences of technology use
C．The unreasonable dependence on electronics. D．The future possibility of technology development.
33．The second paragraph is intended to __________.
A．tell people it is ridiculous to use electronics B．persuade people to quit electronics
C．prove electronics are harmful to people D．show people’s addiction to electronics
34．Why is it difficult to avoid electronics nowadays
A．Too many things are available in electronic forms B．The design of paper books is less interesting.
C．It is a must to use electronics to keep in touch. D．Fewer choices are left for communication.
35．In the author’s opinion, what is the best way to cure electronic addiction
A．Turn off the electronics for an hour or two.
B．Be stricter about the use of cell phones, iPads and other electronics in classrooms
C．Learn to control yourself.
D．Cell phones are forbidden in the workplaces.

这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了过度使用电子产品的成瘾行为，并具体阐明了这一成瘾行为的危害、社会背景原因及可能的解决办法。
【详情解析】
32．细节理解题。根据第一段“Technology use seems to be the new wave of addiction hitting people of all ages. Its extreme use can be compared to the use of drugs, which is called Plug-in Heroin. (过度使用科技似乎是新的成瘾形式。过度使用科技产品与吸毒一样，被称之为Plug-in Heroin)”可知，Plug-in Heroin是指过度使用电子产品的成瘾行为。下文接着通过公共场所的例子说明人们对电子产品的过度使用和依赖，由此可知，Plug-in Heroin是指不理性地依赖电子产品。故选C。
33．主旨大意题。根据第二段“It’s hard to find someone who isn’t glued to the tiny screen, fingers moving at lightning speeds, texting their friends, emailing co-workers or listening to music. (很难发现某个人不盯着手机屏幕，手指快速地翻阅手机，给朋友们发短信，给同事发电子邮件或听音乐)”并结合该段其他内容可知，第二段描写了人们对电子产品终日沉迷的现象。故选D。
34．细节理解题。根据第四段中“However, it’s hard to avoid electronics in this day and age because almost everything is turning into an electronic format.(然而，在这个时代很难避免电子产品，因为几乎所有东西都变成了电子形式)”可知，当今人们很难避免使用科技产品，因为更多的信息倾向于以电子形式提供。故选A。
35．细节理解题。根据最后一段的“There only seems to be one cure left, and it may be the hardest: self control.(似乎只剩下一种治愈方法，而且可能是最困难的：自我控制)”可知，作者认为最好的治愈电子上瘾的方法是学会控制自己。故选C。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
As the concept of emotional intelligence (EI) has gone global, we’ve watched professionals fail as they try to improve their emotional intelligence because they either don’t know where to focus their efforts or they haven’t understood how to improve these skills on a practical level. In our work consulting with companies and coaching leaders, we have found that if you’re looking to develop particular EI strengths, it helps to consider areas for improvement others have identified along with the goals you want to achieve, and then to actively build habits in those areas rather than simply relying on understanding them conceptually.
The first step is to get a sense of how your self-perception (how you see yourself) differs from your reputation (how others see you); 36 . For example, most of us think that we’re good listeners, but very often that’s really not the case. Without this external reality check, it will be difficult for you to identify the ways that your actions affect your performance. Getting feedback from others can also provide proof of the necessity of shifting our behaviour and motivation to do so.
To give you the best sense of where the differences lie between your self-perception and reputation, you should use a 360-degree feedback assessment that takes into account the multiple facets of EI; 37 . Secondly, when you get your feedback from an assessment, let that inform what you want to improve. But also consider what your goals are. When it comes to cultivating strengths in emotional intelligence, 38 . Your emotional intelligence is so tied up in your sense of self that being intrinsically motivated to make the effort matters more when changing long-standing habits than it does when simply learning a skill.
That means the areas that you choose to actively work on should lie at the crossroads of the feedback you’ve gotten and the areas that are most important to your own aspirations; 39 as you do the work of strengthening your emotional intelligence.
Once you’ve determined which EI skills you want to focus on, identify specific actions that you’ll take. If you’re working on becoming a better listener, for example, you might decide that when you’re conversing with someone you’ll take the time to pause, listen to what they have to say, and check that you understand before you reply. Keep it specific: 40 .
By starting to change your routine reactions, you’ll be well on your way to figuring out the old habits that aren’t serving you well and transforming them into new, improved ones that do.
A．you’re at a huge disadvantage if you’re only interested because others said you should be
B．bearing your goals in mind is so helpful to improve the positive impact of your current EI habits
C．you should also take every opportunity to practice the skill you are developing, no matter how small
D．understanding the impacts of your EI habits relative to your goals will keep you going over the long run
E．the key is to find one that guarantees no personal information of those giving you feedback will be leaked
F．how others see you will to some extent decide how you see others and help you become a good listener
G．this is true because we can be blind to how we express and read the emotional components of our interactions

本文是一篇说明文。主要探讨了提高情商的方法：了解自我认知与声誉之间的区别，明确目标，确定改变具体的行动。
【详情解析】
36．根据上文“The first step is to get a sense of how your self-perception (how you see yourself) differs from your reputation (how others see you);(第一步是弄清楚你的自我认知(你如何看待自己)和你的声誉(别人如何看待你)有何不同)”可知，提高情商第一步得弄清楚你对自己的看法和别人对你的看法有何不同。再结合后句“For example, most of us think that we’re good listeners, but very often that’s really not the case. Without this external reality check, it will be difficult for you to identify the ways that your actions affect your performance.(例如，我们大多数人都认为自己是好的倾听者，但事实往往并非如此。如果没有这种外部的现实检查，你就很难确定你的行为是如何影响你的表现的)”可知，其他人的看法会给我们提供一些好的反馈。G选项“this is true because we can be blind to how we express and read the emotional components of our interactions(这是真的，因为我们可能对我们如何表达和解读互动中的情感成分视而不见)”符合语境，下文是对选项的举例说明。故选G项。
37．根据上文“To give you the best sense of where the differences lie between your self-perception and reputation, you should use a 360-degree feedback assessment that takes into account the multiple facets of EI;(为了让你更好地了解你的自我认知和声誉之间的差异，你应该使用考虑到情商的多个方面的360度反馈评估)”可知，了解差异的最佳方式是采用360°反馈评估。且空后内容为方法的第二步，由此推知，空处承接上文陈述在寻找反馈时的注意事项。E选项“the key is to find one that guarantees no personal information of those giving you feedback will be leaked(关键是要找到一个能保证给你反馈的人的个人信息不会泄露的人)”符合语境，故选E项。
38．根据后文“Your emotional intelligence is so tied up in your sense of self that being intrinsically motivated to make the effort matters more when changing long-standing habits than it does when simply learning a skill.(你的情商与你的自我意识密切相关，所以在改变长期的习惯时，内在的动力更重要，而不仅仅是学习一项技能)”可知，内在的动力很重要，不能被其他人的言论影响。再结合上文上文“ When it comes to cultivating strengths in emotional intelligence(说到培养情商方面的优势)”可知，当提到培养情商时，如果因为别人的言论而去做一件事，就是处于劣势。A选项“you’re at a huge disadvantage if you’re only interested because others said you should be(如果你只是因为别人说你应该感兴趣，你就会处于极大的劣势)”符合语境。故选A项。
39．根据上文“That means the areas that you choose to actively work on should lie at the crossroads of the feedback you’ve gotten and the areas thot are most important to your own aspirations; (这意味着你选择积极努力的领域应该处于你所获得的反馈和对你自己的理想最重要的领域的十字路口)”可知，我们要找准我们应该积极努力的区域。D选项“understanding the impacts of your EI habits relative to your goals will keep you going over the long run(了解你的情商习惯对你的目标的影响会让你在长期的发展中保持下去)”符合语境，故选D项。
40．根据上文“If you’re working on becoming a better listener, for example, you might decide that when you’re conversing with someone you’ll take the time to pause, listen to what they have to say, and check that you understand before you reply. Keep it specific:(例如，如果你正在努力成为一个更好的倾听者，你可能会决定当你和别人交谈时，你会花时间停下来，听他们说什么，在回答之前检查你是否理解。具体一点)”可知，我们要花时间停下来认真听别人的话，下文应陈述具体应该怎么做。C选项“you should also take every opportunity to practice the skill you are developing, no matter how small(你也应该珍惜每一个练习你正在培养的技能的机会，无论多么小)”符合语境，故选C项。

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Jenny was the only child in her home. She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat, but it was not even possible for her, since she had nothing with her. She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave.
The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles ”
“Oh, yes ... but I don’t have money on me ...”she replied.
“That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man, “Come in.”
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently.
“What is it ” asked the man kindly.
“Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness!”said Jenny as she wiped her tears, “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared with a stranger!”
Hearing the words, the seller smiled and said, “Girl, do you really think so I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you Have you expressed your gratitude to her ”
Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock; she remembered her mother’s familiar face and weathered hands.“Why did l not think of that A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted, but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.”
On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.

Paragraph 1:
Approaching the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. When she knocked at the door, she found the door was locked and her mother was not in. Tired and sad, she sat down in front of the door. “Where could my mother be ” she wondered, “Was she still angry with me ” Again, the scene of the quarrel appeared in her mind. She remembered her rudeness to her mother. Realizing that all the scolding from her mother was due to the fact that her mother really cared a lot about her, she felt rather ashamed, and tears began to roll down her cheeks.
Paragraph 2:
A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. She raised her head and saw the familiar face of her mother. “Here you come! I’ve been looking for you,” she said, tired and relieved. Jenny couldn’t help throwing herself into her mother’s arms. “Mum, I’m so sorry and thank you for all you have done for me.” She expressed her sincere apology and great gratitude. Hearing this, her mother smiled patting her back gently.
