Answer 1

分析 本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了人的情商，它是理解自己的感情和情绪的能力，是获得成功的又一重要因素，我们可以通过管理分析自己的情绪，对自己的感情和行为负责等方式来提高自己的情商．

解答 25．解析：hoping．该题考查现在分词表伴随的非谓语结构，主句主谓宾齐全，且提示词hope后面带出to get不定式，hope的动作发出者是you，动作主动，故用现在分词hoping． 
26．解析：improving．考查的是介词后面跟动名词，所以for后面跟improving． 
27．解析：a．此题考查不定冠词的用法．考生需要知道grade为"分数"，在此是可数名词，并且better grade在此是第一次提到，没有上文作铺垫，所以应该用不定冠词a． 
28．解析：those．此题考查代词指代之前提到过的重复的内容．在此those指代的是understand带出的宾语"feelings and emotions"，连词and并列的是your own （你自己的） feelings and emotions还有others （其他人的）．并且"其他人的"用的是of来表示所属情况，代替前面所提到的内容用复数情况用those． 
29．解析：to handle．此题考查不定式作名词后置定语．to handle作ability的后置定语，表示"处理受挫感"的能力． 
30．解析：how．此题考查宾语从句引导词．analyze是及物动词，可以跟宾语或宾语从句，而此题难点在于that这个词，比较能混淆视听，乍看很像引导词，实际上它是一个代词，因为通过affect的三单情况可以看出，而that affects your daily life句子主谓宾已经齐全，不缺成分，所以要考虑用关系副词来引导这个宾从，根据意思应该用how，表示"如何"，意思通顺，故为答案． 
31．解析：will have．此题有点难度，考查对一般将来时的判断．如果光从a higher EQ来判断时态会让好些考生觉得吃力的话，那么后面的likely可以一定程度上降低难度，likely意思为"可能地"，并且其后的a happier and more rewarding life也表示这是属于未来的事，从字面意思上也可以判断此处要用一般将来时．

点评 本文难度适中，考点涉及非谓语、冠词、代词、不定式、宾语从句和一般将来时．需要考生对以上语法以及各类语法都能灵活切换．
