11.The subtitle of my 1995 book Emotional Intelligence(EI) reads,"Why It Can Matter More Than IQ."That subtitle,unfortunately,has led to misunderstandings of what I actually say.Some people even make the absurd claim that"EI accounts for 80 percent of success."
I was reminded this again when looking through comments on an Australian study that fails to find much of a connection between teenagers'level of emotional intelligence and their academic achievements.For me,there's no surprise here.But for those misguided people who think I claim EI matters more than IQ for academic achievement,it would be a"Gotcha!"moment.
My argument is actually that emotional and social skills give people advantages in areas where such abilities make the most difference,like love and leadership.EI does better than IQ in"soft"areas,where intelligence matters relatively little for success.That said,another such area where EI matters more than IQ is in performance at work,when comparing people with roughly the same educational backgrounds like MBAs or accountants.
IQ is a much stronger predictor than EI of which jobs or professions people can enter.However,having enough intelligence to hold a given job does not by itself predict whether one will be a star performer or rise to management or leadership positions in one's field.In part this is because everyone at the top level of a given profession has already been examined for intelligence.At those top levels a high IQ becomes a basic ability,one needed just to get into and stay in the game.
The one place I expect we will be seeing more data showing a relationship between skills in the emotional and social area and school performance will be in studies of children who have gone through social/emotional learning (SEL) programs.These courses give students the self-management skills they need to learn better.And so to the degree that advantage promotes learning,they should do better on academic achievement scores.A study from the University of Illinois finds around a 10 percent increase in achievement test scores among these students.Probably,the SEL programs would also have meant higher scores on the particular assessment of EI used in the Australian study,and so if they had tested such children,there may well have been a positive connection.
So learning seems to be another area where EI may matter-whether more than IQ is a question based on experience.

67.The author writes the passage toC.
A.state his new opinion on IQ and EI
B.explain the importance of IQ and EI
C.clear up some misreading of his book
D.argue for his study into school learning
68.According to the author,EI matters more than IQ forA.
A.family relations; being promoted at work
B.being a leader;receiving an MBA degree
C.winning a quiz;becoming a star performer
D.becoming an accountant;getting an interview
69.The author might agree thatD.
A.intelligence matters greatly for success
B.the subtitle of his book is easily misunderstood
C.EI matters more than IQ for academic achievement
D.IQ determines one's basic ability to enter a certain field
70.We can learn from Paragraph 5 thatD.
A.the two same studies have opposite findings
B.the SEL programs improve students'scores rapidly
C.students'school performance is decided by their EI
D.the SEL programs attempt to promote learning with EI.

分析 本文主要讲述了作者针对读者对其书的误会而作的解释,以及讨论了EI和IQ各自的特点.

解答 67.C 推理题.根据文章内容That subtitle,unfortunately,has led to misunderstandings of what I actually say.Some people even make the absurd claim that"EI accounts for 80 percent of success."由此可知,作者的书名引起了许多误会,因此作者写这篇文章以消除读者的误会,结合选项,故选C
68.A 细节题.根据文章内容EI does better than IQ in"soft"areas,where intelligence matters relatively little for success.That said,another such area where EI matters more than IQ is in performance at work 由此可知,EI在"soft"areas比IQ更有优势,而那些方面是智商相对使用较少的,比如在工作中的表现等,结合选项,A选项更符合题意.
69.D 细节题.根据文章内容IQ is a much stronger predictor than EI of which jobs or professions people can enter.由此可知,IQ和EI相比的话,IQ更能是决定着一个人的基本能力,这也是其进入某个特定职业领域的关键,结合选项,故选D
70.D 细节题.根据文章内容These courses give students the self-management skills they need to learn better.And so to the degree that advantage promotes learning,they should do better on academic achievement scores.这些课程使得学生们会学自我管理,帮助学生提高情商能力,结合选项,故选D

Bastian Balthazar Bux is a shy and bookish boy around 12years old.He is neglected by his father because his father is still mourning the death of his mother who died of an unspecified illness.His school life does not go off smoothly.He is often picked on by some good-for-nothing kids,which leads him to play truant a lot.
It doesn't sound like a fantasy story so far,does it?Fantasy is supposed to take us away from the unpleasantness of life,not to rub our noses in it.But it is just where the fantasy begins.One day,running away from bullies at school,Bastian hides in a bookstore.There he finds a book which appeals to him,and he steals it and takes it home.Bastian becomes fascinated with the book.It drags him in,just as we are dragged into fantasy books.The book he reads is called The Neverending Story.
The story spellbinds Bastian.It tells of a land called Fantastic.Fantastica is sick,and the person most sick is its ruler,the Child-like Empress.The reason for the sickness is a kind of war that is being waged on Fantastica by a force called Nothing.The Empress asks a boy,Atreyu,to help her battle Nothing before it conquers Fantastica.But what of Bastian,sitting hidden away,reading the story from his stolen book?He becomes part of the tale himself.The Empress gives Bastian a vital job to join forces with Atreyu in the struggle against Nothing.
But even though Bastian has now entered the pages of a fantasy fiction book,he has brought his troubles with him.He has problems dealing with the challenges brought by his new life.When the Child-like Empress gives him use of a magic gem called Auryn he abuses it for self-interested ends.To find his True Self he has to learn how.Only that way can he help the Empress,Atreyu and Fantastica and make his way back into the real world from the place he came.
Like Bastian,we sometimes have our troubles.Also like Bastian,we can find ways to solve them with enough commitment.In the The Neverending Story,young readers can find a wonderful fantasy that also offers a positive message about their own world.

24.What can we infer from the first paragraph?B

C.He becomes absorbed in the book after stealing it from a bookshop.
D.His father cannot afford to raise him so he abandons him in this place.

With more recognition than Halloween and less than Christmas,Valentine’s Day as an imported festival faces a dangerous situation in China,where it’s caught between forces of tradition and fashion.Valentine’s Day has a natural enemy in China.And it is not the Chinese equivalent,which falls on the seventh day of the seventh month on the lunar calendar,usually around half a year away from February 14.It is the Spring Festival,also known as the Chinese New Year,that will influence the Feast of Saint Valentine.

The real disagreement between East and West probably took place over a century ago,when China’s door was forced open by Western powers and Chinese scholars supported westernization as a means to strengthen our nation's ability to compete.The introduction of the solar calendar and Western measurements was both an acknowledgment of their influence and an effort to be accepted by the world order.

For a full century,we have had two systems running in parallel.When it comes to the eventual outcome, practicality usually beats all other concerns.Laws can help,such as the three traditional festivals of Tomb Sweeping, Dragon Boat and Mid-Autumn gaining legal status in 2008 and giving every Chinese citizen a day off,but laws cannot push what people have no feelings for.Therefore,the celebration or boycott of imported holidays or homegrown ones should be no cause for worry.If they are irrelevant,no social media will change the public's mind; and if they are accepted,there must be a need which they happen to satisfy.

Since we have no global Qin Shihuang to force one system on every country,we can always rely on a dual (双重的) approach by which we share with the outside world on one hand but preserve our own ways of life on the other.
