    In 1990 Peter Salovey Ph. D and John Mayer Ph. D coined the term Emotional Intelligence. Their research has opened many people’s eyes to the fact that EQ or emotional quotient holds the key to one’s happiness and well being, and helped us to realize that our emotional makeup can be so much more important than our mental, or what we refer to as IQ—intelligent quotient.
    IQ is essential for learning and mental development and EQ is much more important for happiness and success. Some time ago a study done in the United States proved that doctors who were impatient and did not exhibit much care towards their patients were more likely to be sued (起诉) for malpractice(渎职), whereas doctors who were caring and attentive to their patients were less likely to be sued even if they made a critical mistake. A woman wrote to newspaper recently telling about her brother. He was apparently a genius but did not get along with people, quit every job he started, and eventually became a taxi driver. These are just a few examples of people with high IQ but low EQ.
    We have all known people who did not complete college, but who have become very successful in business. We call them street smart. We also know people who, on the whole, are positive, communicative, pleasant and supportive—these people enjoy a high level of EQ.
    Many people wish to improve their EQ for the purpose of becoming happier, more successful, and at the same time more balanced, individuals. The remarkable thing about EQ is that it can always, at any age, be improved, unlike IQ, which remains more or less fixed in adult life.
    Now psychologists start workshops focusing on showing people how to increase their EQ. This enables them to accomplish their dreams and desires, rid themselves of negative patterns and shows them that once they master their inner world, their outer world becomes much better.
    47. In the second paragraph, the author gives us two examples to show that _____.
    A. doctors in the United States are often involved in cases
    B. working as a taxi driver in the United States requires high EQ
    C. those with high IQ are often engaged in the low-rank work
    D. those with low EQ have a harder time surviving in life
    48. Which of the following can’t be used to describe the people with a high level of EQ?
    A. They are positive, communicative, pleasant and supportive.
    B. They are optimistic and untroubled by difficulties.
    C. They are impatient and show little care towards others.
    D. They may be very successful in business.
    49. It can be inferred that predicting future successes, ______.
    A. a person’s brainpower might actually matter less than a person’s character
    B. a person’s IQ might be more important than a person’s EQ
    C. IQ plays an important role as well as EQ
    D. both IQ and EQ are the key points that should be considered
    50. Which of following is NOT true according to the passage?
    A. People with high IQ are likely to gain knowledge quickly.
    B. At work EQ gets you hired easily and IQ gets you promoted.
    C. Having a high IQ will help us in some ways but having a high EQ might help us even more.
    D. People’s EQ could be raised much more than their IQ.

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
    Two-legged, humanoid (类人的) robots such as Honda Motor Co. Ltd’s ASIMO would likely have an easier time climbing up stairs inside homes than a robot that moves on wheels, developers say.
    But it will be some time before such devices make their way into people’s homes.
    “They may look smart, but they are still quite stupid,” Shimoyama said. “I don’t think they will ever be as smart as humans.”
    While safety is an obvious concern, robots also need to be sensitive to people’s needs.
    Researchers at Fujitsu Frontech Ltd and Fujitsu L       aboratories responsible for developing “Enon”, a guide and patrol (巡逻) robot designed for use in shopping malls and corporate facilities (公共场所), are working on this.
    Enon, which has a humanoid upper body but no legs, is equipped with a touch screen on its chest and space in its belly to carry loads weighting up to 10 kg.
    In guide mode, it will detect a newcomer and approach the person with a nod and a greeting: “Are you a visitor? Hello.”
    Visitors requiring directions can point to icons (图标) displayed on Enon’s chest screen. If the restroom icon is pressed, the screen will display a map that shows the way.
    The robot will then face and point in the direction of the restroom, although it won’t actually walk the visitor there.
    Enon is now in use at four locations in Japan, including a shopping mall near Tokyo. The main goal is to make it more helpful for the elderly.
    “People who work in the transportation sector often ask whether we can build a robot that will find elderly people who look lost in train stations, and ask them if they are all right,” said Toshihido Marita, director of Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd’s autonomous system laboratory. “Actually that is hard to do, very hard,” he said.
    41. The advantage of Honda Motor Co. Ltd’s ASIMO is that _________.
    A. it can do any housework for us       B. it can talk with patients or old people
    C. it can climb up stairs as humans      D. it can walk smoothly with its wheels
    42. According to Shimoyama, robots _________.
    A. can be made to do everything humans do 
    B. will be made as smart as humans in the future
    C. will remain as stupid as before
    D. can never compete with humans in intelligence
    43. Most important of all, a robot should be made _________ at present.
    A. safe and elegant                           B. safe and functional
    C. elegant and cheap                         D. sensitive and cheap
    44. Which of the following statements about “Enon” is NOT true?
    A. It can be used as a guide in hospitals. 
    B. It can help shoppers carry goods selected.
    C. It can be used to welcome guests in restaurants.
    D. It can be used to stop thieves in malls.
    45. Enon is mainly designed to help _________.
    A. old people           B. mall owners        C. tourists or newcomers   D. shoppers

    How do apology languages work? Have you ever tried to apologize, only to be refused? It may be that you were offering a partial apology in a “language” , that was foreign to your listener．The five languages of apology include:
    Apology Language 1: “I am sorry.”
    List the hurtful effects of your action．Not “I am sorry if …”, but “I am sorry that…”．You might ask if they want to add any points that you have not recognized.
    Apology Language 2:“I was wrong.”
    Name your mistake and accept fault．Note that it is easier to say “You are right” than “ I am wrong”, but the latter carries more weight.
    Apology Language 3: “ What can I do to make it right?”
    How are you now? How shall I make amends(弥补) to you? How can I restore your confidence that I love you— even though I was so hurtful to you?
    Apology Language 4: “I’ll try not to do that again.”
    Engage in problem-solving．Don’t make excuses for yourself such as, “Well, my day was just so…” Instead, offer what you will change to prevent yourself from putting them in the same bad situation again．
    Apology Language 5: “Will you please forgive me?”
    Be patient in seeking forgiveness．They may need some time or greater clarification of your input from Apology Languages 1-4.
    Finally, your apology may not be accepted, but at least you know that you have been faithful in offering a sincere olive branch of peace.
    小题1:The passage mainly talks about___________
    A．5 tips for apologies that workB．5 ways of refusing apologies

    How much can environment affect intelligence? In one study, striking increases in IQ occurred in 25 children who were moved from an orphanage(孤儿院) to more stimulating（使人兴奋的，使人振奋的） environments．The children, who were all considered mentally retarded and unadoptable, were moved to an institution where they received personal attention from adults．Later, these supposedly retarded children were adopted by parents who gave them love, a family ,and a stimulating home environment．The children gained an average of 29 IQ points．For one child, the increase was an amazing 58 points．A second group of initially less "retarded" children, who stayed in the orphanage, lost an average of 26 IQ points.
    Other encouraging results can be found in early childhood education programs, which provide stimulating intellectual experiences for disadvantaged children．In one study, children from low-income families were given enriched environments from early infancy(婴儿期) through preschool．By age 2 their IQ scores were already higher than those in a control group．More important, they were still 5 points higher seven years later．High-quality enrichment programs such as Head Start can prevent children from falling behind in school.
    A particularly striking environmental effect is the fact that 14 nations have shown average IQ gains of from 5 to 25 points during the last 30 years．These IQ boosts, averaging 15 points, occurred in far too short a time for genetics to explain them．It is more likely that the gains reflect environmental forces, such as improved education, nutrition, and living in a technologically complex society.
    小题1:What's the main idea of this passage
    A．Retarded children cannot improve their IQ's.
    B．Orphanages are full of mentally retarded children.
    C．Environmental factors influence a child's IQ.
    D．Early childhood education programs are important.
    小题2:The author is in favor of _____________ according to the passage.
    A．putting retarded children into institutions
    B．providing early childhood education programs
    C．keeping children in orphanages
    D．keeping retarded children with others like themselves
    小题3:Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an environmental factor that affects IQ       .
    A．Good nutrition．B．Improved technology.
    C．Better education．D．Food pollution.
    小题4:What can we conclude from the passage ?
    A．Attention from parents has little effect on a child's IQ.
    B．Head Start programs are a waste of money.
    C．Increases in IQ have happened in the US more rapidly than elsewhere.
    D．Genetics are less important than environment in gaining one's IQ.

    When I first began to work with international students, I asked someone at a lunch, “What brings you here today?” Looking at me like I was a bit crazy, he answered, “ The bus.” That was my first realization that no matter how good a speaker is, there are phrases that will always tend to cause confusion to non-native speakers. These idiomatic phrases(惯用语) add color and interest to any language and are worth learning if you want to talk fluently with native speakers.
    “By no stretch”----The speaker is referring to something that’s very hard to achieve or realize, even with great effort, as in “It was not a good meal, by any stretch of the imagination.” Which means that ______________.
    “Half dead”----An expression of extreme tiredness, having nothing to do with actual health. Commonly used at the end of a long and tiring day.
    “By the book”----This means that an action should follow the rules exactly. It also describes the nature of someone who won’t deviate(背离) from a set of rules no matter what the situation is.
    “More power to you”----This isn’t a wish for you to have better electricity from the power company----it’s a statement, usually slightly ironic(讽刺的), that the speaker thinks that you are unlikely to do a task, but you should try if you think you can complete it. It generally means the speaker has no intention of helping you achieve your goal neither will they discourage you from attempting to reach it. For example, “I don’t think you can meet that deadline, but more power to you.”
    “As easy as pie”----A reference that something is as simple or easy as eating a delicious dessert, or that it requires little effort to successfully achieve. In chatting, this phrase does not refer to the process of cooking or eating.
    小题1:The example given by the author in the first paragraph is used to show__________.
    A．the importance of learning idiomsB．the beauty of the English language
    C．the foolishness of the studentD．the cause of the misunderstanding
    小题2:According to the passage, which of the following would be proper to fill in the blank in Paragraph 2?
    A．the meal is very deliciousB．it’s very hard to make the meal delicious
    C．people make great efforts to make the meal delicious
    D．even if people try to believe it, the meal could not be described as good
    小题3:If someone says he is half dead, he means____________.
    A．he is in poor healthB．he cannot move
    C．he has a sound sleepD．he is exhausted
    小题4:If a person daren’t do things in a creative way, you may describe him by using “__________”.

    Our sun is a star, and nine worlds move round it. Worlds like these are planets (行星).
    But there are other stars, other suns. Not only thousands of them, but millions of them. Do different stars have planets? We can see the planets round our own sun. But we haven’t seen any more. The stars are too far away from us. Stars give out (发出)light, but the planets don’t have any light of their own. So we can’t see them. They’re too far, and too dark.
    Still, we can tell that some stars have planets. While a big planet goes round, it pulls its star to one side. And sometimes we can see this, Then we know that the star has a planet.
    For example, Barnard’s Star（巴纳德星）is a small red star. And it is the quickest star in the universe. But sometimes it moves slower, and then quicker again. We have know Barnard’s Star for many years, and now we are sure it has a planet.

    Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a book-lover or only there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find a shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason, you can soon totally unaware of your surroundings. You soon become interested in some books or others, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent too much time there and have to rush off to keep some forgotten appointment.
    This chance to escape the realities of everyday life is the main attraction of a bookshop. A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can walk around such a place to your heart's content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will come up to you with the greeting "Can I help you?" You needn't buy anything you don't want. In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished reading. Then, and only then, are his services necessary.

He was about to leave, when he noticed the owner of the shop beckoning to him. Expecting to be told off, he went towards him. To his surprise, the owner pointed to the book which was tucked away in a corner. "I put it there in case anyone tries to buy it !"He said, and left the delighted student continuing his reading.

    The world's oceans have warmed 50 percent faster over the last 40 years than previously thought due to climate change, Australian and US climate researchers reported on Wednesday. Higher ocean temperatures expand the volume of water, contributing to a rise in sea levels that is submerging small island nations and threatening to great damage in low-lying, densely-populated delta regions around the globe.
    The study, published in the British journal Nature, adds to a growing scientific chorus of warnings about the pace and consequences of rising oceans. It also serves as a corrective to a massive report issued last year by the Nobel-winning UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change（IPCC）, according to the authors.
    Rising sea levels are driven by two things: the thermal（热）expansion of sea water, and additional water from melting sources of ice. Both processes are caused by global warming. The ice sheet that sits at the top of Greenland, for example, contains enough water to raise world ocean levels by seven metres（23 feet）, which would bury sea-level cities from Dhaka to Shanghai.
    Trying to figure out how much each of these factors contributes to rising sea levels is critically important to understanding climate change, and forecasting future temperature rises, scientists say. But up to now, there has been a confusing gap between the projections of computer-based climate models, and the observations of scientists gathering data from the oceans.
    The new study, led by Catia Domingues of the Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research, is the first to reconcile（与…一致）the models with observed data. Using new techniques to assess ocean temperatures to a depth of 700 metres（2,300 feet）from 1961 to 2003, it shows that thermal warming contributed to a 0.53 millimetre-per-year rise in sea levels rather than the 0.32 mm rise reported by the IPCC.
    64. What happens when the ocean's temperature rises?
    A. It causes sea levels to rise.
    B. It causes sea levels to remain constant.
    C. It causes sea levels to decrease.
    D. It causes sea level to change.
    65. Which of the followings would be buried by the rising sea?
    A. Small island nations.
    B. All coastal cities around the world.
    C. People who enjoy holiday on the beach.
    D. Low-lying regions.
    66. The new study in this passage _____________.
    A. shows that thermal warming contributed to a 0.32 millimeter-per-year rise in sea levels.
    B. did not reveal anything that scientists hadn't already known.
    C. used new techniques to assess ocean temperatures.
    D. shows that models contradict the observed data.
    67. What was the main finding of the study?
    A. Nothing enough is being done about global warming.
    B. That ocean waters have warmed faster than scientists had previously thought.
    C. That the warming of the world's oceans is not a threat.
    D. A massive report issued last year by IPCC was wrong.
