13.EmpathyLast year,researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy,the ability to understand other people,among college students had dropped sharply over the past 10 years.(31)BToday,people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs.Jennifer Freed,a co-director of a teen program,has another explanation.Turn on the TV,and you're showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting,competing,and generally treating one another with no respect.(32)D
There are good reasons not to ollow those bad examples.Humans are socially related by nature.(33)G Researchers have also found that empthetic teenagers are more likely to have high self-respect.Besides,empathy can be a cure for loneliness,sadness,anxiety,and fear.
Empathy is also an indication of a good leader.In fact,Freed says,many top companies report that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in new managers.(34)F"Academics are important.But if you don't have emotional (情感的) intelligence,you won't be as successful in work or in your love life,"she says.
What's the best way to up your EQ (情商)?For starters,let down your guard and really listen to others.(35)C
To really develop empathy,you'd better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital,join a club or a team that has a diverse membership,have a"sharing circle"with your family,or spend time caring for pets at an animal shelter.
A.Everyone is different,and levels of empathy differ from person to person.
B.That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time,the researchers said.
C."One doesn't develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking,"Freed says.
D.Humans learn by example-and most of the examples on it are anything but empathetic.
E.Empathy is a matter of learning how to understand someone else-both what they think and how they feel.
F.Good social skills-including empathy-are a kind of"emotional intelligence"that will help you succeed in many areas of life.
GHaving relationships with other people is an important part of being human-and having empathy is decisive to those relationships.
分析 本文是一篇选句填空阅读,属于议论文,去年,来自密歇根大学的研究人员报道,大学生换位思考,理解他人的能力,在过去10年已经急剧下降.本文以此展开谈论,主要讲述了empathy的概念.
解答 31.B.考查文章上下文内容联系以及句意理解. 本题在第一段段中,前句提出概念,后句进行简单举例,都表示人们相互理解的现象在减少.关键词在于前句指的had dropped sharply和后句指的lesslikely to join不难选出B项,其中的havereplaced face with screen的信息,包括首次的that所指代的作用的体现.故选B.32.D.考查文章上下文内容联系以及句意理解.本句前的3个表达fighting,competing和with norespect都表现出于主题empathy相反的例子,本空需要进行总结,那么D项正确,关键的信息的是anything but empathetic,说明前句与主题是相反的逻辑关系,很直观地反应出D项正确.故选D.
33.G.考查文章上下文内容联系以及句意理解.前一句提出人生是相互有联系的,后一句继续以主题富有empathy的青少年是如何好,关键的信息词是G项开头的relationshipwith others即与他人的关系,破折号后面的having empathy更顺应主题.故选G.
34.F.考查文章上下文内容联系以及句意理解.被动首句就提出empathy下的小主题,empathy也可以预示着一个号的领袖.前句,用公司寻找manager经理的例子进行展开,后句表示转折,如果不具备该品质,所带来的不好的地方.故F句联系上下文.故选F.
35.C.考查文章上下文内容联系以及句意理解.关键词在前句的listen to others.C项中的doesn't…having a lot ofopinion和doing a lot of talking说明正是listen to others.故选C.
