    10．A scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of some four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it．Some children reach eagerly for the treat they see．Some last a few minutes before they give in．But others are determined to wait until the last moment．
    By the time the children reach high school，something remarkable has happened．A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular，adventurous，confident and dependable．The children who gave in to temptation（诱惑） early were more likely to be lonely，easily frustrated and inflexible（顽固的）．
    Actually，the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesn't show up on an IQ test．
    The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists'concerns．But brain theory can't explain what we wonder about most，like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant soul．
    Here comes the theory of Daniel Goleman，writer of Emotional Intelligence：when it comes to predicting people's success，brain ability measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as"character"．
    EQ is not the opposite of IQ．What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together； how one's ability to handle stress，for instance，affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use．Among the ingredients （要素） for success，researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%； the rest depends on everything from social class to luck．
    While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously，some few fear EQ causes misuse．

    66．The experiment with the four-year-olds makes it clear thatC．
    A．the age of 4 is a proper time for scientific experiment
    B．emotional intelligence won't show up until adolescence
    C．the ability of self-control plays a role in personal success
    D．candy can be used to measure a person's emotional intelligence
    67．Which of the following is TRUE of EQ and IQ according to the text？D
    A．There is no link between EQ and IQ．
    B．The higher a person's IQ is，the higher his or her EQ is．
    C．Some people can be blessed with lots of both，but some with little of either．
    D．Scientists are trying to discover the way in which EQ and IQ work together．
    68．The underlined word"upbeat"in Paragraph 4 probably means"D"．
    A．kind        
    B．floating        
    C．excited         
    D．optimistic
    69．Why does the author mention the experiment at the beginning of the text？C
    A．To amuse both the children and readers．
    B．To prove the scientist's wisdom．
    C．To introduce the topic of the text．
    D．To show us how to do an IQ test．
    70．What is most likely to be written in the paragraph that follows？B
    A．Information about famous people with high EQ．
    B．Examples showing the opposite voice about EQ．
    C．Some reasons why EQ is relatively new field．
    D．Strong demands for basic emotional education．

    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自我控制能力是个人成功地作用，从儿时开始个人的自我控制能力就有了不同，它显示了一个人的情商．

    解答 66．C．细节理解题．根据文章第二段"A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular，adventurous，confident and dependable"可知四岁儿童的实验表明自我控制能力是个人成功地作用；故选C．
    67．D．细节理解题．根据文章倒数第二段"EQ is not the opposite of IQ．What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together"可知情商不是智商的对立面．研究者们一直试图了解他们是如何一起工作；故选D．
    68．D．词义推断题．根据文章第四段"But brain theory can't explain what we wonder about most，like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant soul"脑理论不能解释我们所知道，有些人在面对烦恼会保持乐观比别人沉沦的要少的原因；可知词义为乐观积极；故选D．
    69．C．推理判断题．根据文章第一段"A scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of some four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it"可知作者在课文开头提到实验是为了引出课文的主题；故选C．
    70．B．推理判断题．根据文章最后一段：While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously，some few fear EQ causes misuse．可知接下来的段落是关于相反的观点的陈述举例；故选B．

    点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．

    18．If you don't want people to know too much about you，then you had better keep your fridge contents secret，according to a British market research document released last week．
    Researchers peered （凝视） into the fridges of 400people in Britain and compared the contents with the owners'lifestyles．They claim to be able to classify the nation's people by fridge contents．
    They say those people can be separated into five categories：nutrition nerds （no social sense），food faddiest （whatever's in style），martyr mums，fast food fanatics and restaurant regulars．
    Nutrition nerds care much about what they put into their bodies．Their fridges are stocked with fruit，vegetables and healthy meat．
    People in this category tend to be highly organized and usually work in law or accountancy．The vast majority is single，but if they have a partner，that person will be similar．
    A fridge full of vitamins-enriched juices implies its owner works in media or fashion．They tend not to eat the foods they buy．Known as the food faddiest，they just want to be seen as purchasing the latest important things．
    A fridge filled with everything from steak to frozen fish suggests the martyr mum．Her fridge tends to be stocked with every kind of product，except what she herself would want．This fridge hints at difficulty balancing family and work life．
    Fast food fanatics always buy mineral water or soda pop．The nearest they will get to fresh fruit is tomato sauce．Their fridges hint at someone who works hard and plays hard，also，someone who is not into long term planning．
    Finally，a fridge filled with nothing more than a bottle of white wine and some sparkling mineral water implies an owner who is single，lives in a big city and enjoys the finer things in life．The fridge is empty because this person regularly eats in restaurants．

    36．What can we know from the first two paragraphs？C
    A．Some researchers are fond of staring at other people's fridges．
    B．People don't want others to know about their secrets．
    C．The food you put in the fridge has something to do with your personality．
    D．There are mainly five kinds of lifestyles among British people．
    37．According to the passage，people who belong to food faddiestA．
    A．don't care much about money when buying things
    B．will try their best to stay healthy
    C．often stay up late to finish their job
    D．prefer to ask others about what to do next
    38．Which of the following is true according to the passage？D
    A．"Nutrition nerds"are always organized and successful in their jobs．
    B．"Food faddists"like to stock their fridges with all kinds of vitamins．
    C．"Martyr mums"care themselves more than others．
    D．"Fast food fanatics"usually do not stock their fridges with fresh fruit．
    39．What will those who often dine out put in the fridge？B
    A．All kinds of food they like．
    B．Only something to drink．
    C．Fruit，vegetables and meat．
    D．Food rich in vitamins．
    40．What is this passage mainly about？B
    A．What people store in their fridges．
    B．Fridge contents and its owner's secret．
    C．What we should store in our fridges．
    D．How to keep our fridge contents secret．

    5．I usually doubt about any research that concludes that people are either happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50years ago．While any of these statements might be true，they are practically impossible to prove scientifically．Still，1was struck by a report which concluded that today's children are significantly more anxious than children in the 1950s．In fact，the analysis showed，normal children between 9and 17have a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50years ago．
    Why are America's kids so stressed？The report cites two main causes：increasing physical isolation （孤独）    brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community，and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place．
    Given that we can't turn the clock back，adults can still do plenty to help the next generation to cope．
    At the top of the list，nurturing （培育） is a better appreciation of the limits of individualism．No child is an island．Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against stress．
    To help kids build stronger connections with others，you can pull the plug on TVs and computers．Your family will thank you later．They will then have more time for face-to-face relationships，and they will get more sleep．
    Limit the amount of virtual （虚拟的） violence your children are exposed to．It's not just video games and movies； children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news．
    Keep your expectations for your children reasonable．Many highly successful people never attended Harvard or Yale．
    Make exercise part of your daily routine．It will help you deal with your own anxieties and provide a good model for your kids．Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable，but it doesn't have to ruin your life．

    31．What does the author thinks of the conclusion that people in America are unhappier than 50years ago？D
    A．Surprising  B．Confusing  C．Illogical  D．Questionable
    32．What does the author mean by saying"we can't turn the clock back（Para.3）？B
    A．It's impossible to slow down the pace of the change．
    B．The social reality children are facing cannot be changed．
    C．Lessons learned from the past should not be forgotten．
    D．It's impossible to forget the past．
    33．According to an analysis，compared with normal children today，children 50years agoC．
    A．were less isolated physically
    B．were probably less self-centered
    C．probably suffered less from anxiety
    D．were considered less individualistic
    34．What is the first and most important thing parents should do to help their children？C
    A．To provide them with a safer environment．
    B．To lower their expectations for them．
    C．To get them more involved socially．
    D．To set a good model for them to follow．
    35．What conclusion can be drawn from the passage？C
    A．Anxiety，though always unavoidable，can be coped with．
    B．Children's anxiety has been enormously exaggerated（夸大）．
    C．Children's anxiety can be removed with more parental care．
    D．Anxiety，if properly controlled，may help children become mature．

    15．How did the sea horse get its name？It's not hard to guess．The top half of this fish looks like a small horse．But looking at the sea horse's tail，you might think"sea monkey"is a better name．Then there's the sea horse's pouch （育儿袋）．"Sea kangaroo"might also be a good name for this fish．
        Sea horses live in warm ocean waters all over the world．They keep safe from other fish by hiding in plants and grasses that grow under the sea．They can also change colors to match their surroundings．A sea horse remains in one place for hours at a time by winding its tail around a plant．It feeds on live food，such as small shrimp．For a fish that doesn't move around much，the sea horse eats a lot-in just one day，a sea horse can eat 3，000 shrimp!
    A sea horse keeps the same mate for its whole life，and it's the male sea horse that gives birth to baby sea horses．How does this happen？Baby sea horses start out as eggs，which come from the female's body．The male carries the eggs in its pouch for about three weeks until they hatch．Soon after the babies are born，the female gives her mate a new set of eggs．
        Sadly，the number of sea horses is becoming smaller．Why is this happening？Some places where sea horses once lived have been filled in to make new land．Also，many sea horses are caught and sold as aquarium fish．This really is not a good idea because most sea horses don't live long in aquariums．The best place for a sea horse is the ocean．
    60．The sea horse got its name because of itsB
    A．skin          B．head         C．pouch            D．tail
    61．We can learn from the text that sea horsesC
    A．like to move around               B．live in cold ocean waters
    C．feed on small live shrimp         D．change colors with the temperature
    62．What does a female sea horse do with her eggs？D
    A．She hatches them．
    B．She hides them in sea grasses．
    C．She carries them around．
    D．She puts them in the male's pouch．
    63．Why is the number of sea horses becoming smaller？B
    A．Because they grow at a very low speed．
    B．Because their homes are being destroyed．
    C．Because they are killed by people for food．
    D．Because their food is becoming less and less．

    2．Did you know that there are actually people who have paid for a flight to the moon？In the future，there will be a lot more opportunities to travel to faraway places than now…perhaps even as far as the moon．As people adventure further and further away and as planes，trains，cars，and rocket ships become faster，is it safer to have these vehicles controlled by humans or by computers？
    While many flights by plane are controlled automatically by machines，most people today wouldn't let their car drive itself．That's because currently the autopilot function on your car can only keep it on the same course you are travelling on．It won't turn the car right or left．It won't stop if an animal jumps in the way．However，cars today can sense when something is too close and warn the driver with flashing lights and alarms．Many cars also have GPS（global positioning systems） that tell drivers which road to take and when to turn．These systems，unlike human drivers，never get lost．In the future，it is easy to believe that your car will be better able to drive itself with the aid of computers that can determine the position of your car and the speed it should travel at．
    In addition to computers being‘smarter'than people regarding the best way to go or knowing how close another vehicle is，computers don't get sick，tired，or angry．This means they won't make the same mistakes that people make when they are not having a good day．While responding with emotion is a good thing when choosing the best way to deal with a friend's personal problem，it may not be such a good thing when deciding what to do at the wheel of a fast-moving vehicle．
    So what are the disadvantages of autopilot systems？Maybe one disadvantage is that a small computer problem could cause a serious accident．It could also be argued that in unexpected situations，computers might not be able to respond appropriately； some decisions require human emotions．Another problem might be that if everything were controlled by computers or robots，people wouldn't have any jobs．

    67．What is the best title for the passage？B
    A．The Development of Autopilot
    B．Technology of Future Travel
    C．A New Driving System
    D．Computerized Cars
    68．Which of the following is the disadvantage of an autopilot system？C
    A．It won't make the same mistakes as people do．
    B．It can point out the best route for the driver．
    C．It might not respond properly to unexpected situations．
    D．It does not have human emotions to influence its function．
    69．If some falling rocks roll down toward your car，the autopilot on your car willA．
    A．inform you of the danger
    B．turn the car right or left
    C．do nothing about it
    D．stop the car
    70．What's the author's attitude towards the autopilot？B
    A．Approving． B．Objective． C．Negative． D．Doubtful．
