题目列表(包括答案和解析)

Many of us still tend to think that emotions can affect reasonable thought,  and  sometimes  land  us  in  trouble. But  in  recent  years psychologists have taken quite a different view.Keith Oatley, Professor of Psychology at Glasgow University, is involved in the research which shows the fundamental importance of emotions.

He believes we_are_very_ambivalent_about_them: we think of our emotions as being unreasonable, but we also consider them as essential to human being.For example, Mr.Spock, a character in the television series Star Trek,  is super­intelligent and he has no emotions at all.However, he is never made captain of the spaceship.Maybe, this is because Mr.Spock is not the kind of person you can share your feelings with — a person who shows his emotions.

As Professor Oatley points out, our emotions have very important functions, for example, fear. If we cross the road and a car approaches, we usually stop moving or step back. We stop what we are doing, check what we have done and pay very careful attention to the environment. The emotion of fear makes us take this small series of actions which, on average, help preserve our safety.

On the other hand, if things are going well and small problems come up, we find we can solve them with the resources we have to hand. As a consequence, we tend to feel happy and usually continue doing the job.

Anger is an emotion that tends to occur when someone is preventing  us from doing something. Then this small “kit” of reactions enables us to prepare ourselves to be quite aggressive to that person, or to try harder, and so on.

Professor Oatley believes emotions generally occur at these important moments in actions. With fear and anger our emotions make us decide to start doing something else, while with happiness they “suggest” we continue what we are already doing.

68.What's Keith Oatley's opinion about emotions?

A.They affect reasonable thought.                   B.They get us into trouble.

C.They are helpful to us.                                D.They are reasonable.

69.What does the underlined part “we are very ambivalent about them” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A.We have contradictory feelings towards emotions.

B.We have similar ideas of emotions.

C.We are quite clear about emotions.

D.We can do nothing about emotions.

70.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A.Fear helps us to be careful about our surroundings.

B.Happiness inspires us to continue what we are doing.

C.Anger may urge us to make greater efforts.

D.Anger tends to do us more harm than good.

71.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

A.we must control our emotions in daily life

B.emotions play a more important part than we realize

C.positive emotions such as love and joy are good for us

D.negative emotions make us continue what we are doing

  As an engineering student, I had a degree and three good job offers.I can’t help trembling when I hear about studies that show that women are at a   1   when it comes to math.However, I discovered:just because a subject is   2   to learn, it does not   3   you are not good at it.You just have to grit your teeth and work harder to get good at it.  4   you do, there’s a strong chance you will enjoy it more than anything else.

  In eighth grade I took algebra(代数学).On one test I got only 36 percent of the   5   answers.I failed the next one, too.I started to   6  .Maybe I’m just not good at this.I was lucky enough to have a teacher who didn’t take my bad grades as a judgment of my   7  , but   8   as an indication that I should study more.He   9   me aside and told me he knew I could do better.He let me   10   the tests, and I pulled my grade up to an A.

  I studied a lot in college, too.I had moments of fear while sitting below the buzzing fluorescent lights in the   11   library on Saturday afternoons, when I   12   that the estrogen(雌性激素)in my body was   13   me from understanding thermodynamics(热力学).But the   14   in my classes had to work just as hard, and I knew that I couldn’t   15   to lose confidence in myself.I didn’t want to choose between my femininity(女性)and a good career.  16   I reminded myself that those   17  , the ones that say that math comes more naturally to men, are faulty.

  Here’s a secret:math and science don’t go   18   to most people.No one was   19   born knowing calculus.A woman can learn anything a man can, but first she needs to know that she can do it, and that takes a leap of   20  .It also helps to have selective hearing.
