话题:践行人生理想
Life is like a roller coaster, and every point has ups and downs. People plan something, but luck and sometimes misfortunes lead them toward a different destination. However, passionate individuals are not scared of such uncertainties. They set goals, welcome challenges, overcome obstacles, and eventually achieve what satisfies them.
Those who stay committed to their broad goals and find satisfaction even in unplanned circumstances are truly victorious. One true example of such people comes from a woman passionate about spreading happiness and helping others. Nicole Thornes is a mother, a former police officer, and now serving society as a death doula (陪护师).
Nicole joined the police academy intending to be helpful to society. She believed that a police officer has the opportunity to eliminate crime, bring justice, and create a better society for everyone. Although she became a mother during her studies and her responsibilities were increased due to children, she didn't give up on her passion. Nicole could have called off her studies, but her passion for serving society didn't let her step down. With great efforts, she finally became a police officer and gave her contributions to law enforcement and the betterment of society. She was not only a police officer making full commitment to the society but also a mother who played her responsibilities in the best way possible.
Everything went according to her plans, but uncertainty called off her journey as a police officer. Nicole suffered from an injury in a mission that ended her career in the police force. But her dreams and passion did not let her stop. She became a death doula to continue her dream. She chose this field after her grandfather's death, when she couldn't bear the pain of losing him. Being a death doula, she is now providing comfort to the dying and their families during difficult times. She aims to spread prosperity in people's lives and help them overcome all the obstacles she faced throughout her life.

话题:发展特定的情商优势的方法
As the concept of emotional intelligence (EI) has gone global, we've watched professionals fail as they try to improve their emotional intelligence because they either don't know where to focus their efforts or they haven't understood how to improve these skills on a practical level. In our work consulting with companies and coaching leaders, we have found that if you're looking to develop particular EI strengths, it helps to consider areas for improvement others have identified along with the goals you want to achieve-and then to actively build habits in those areas rather than simply relying on understanding them conceptually.
The first step is to get a sense of how your selfperception (how you see yourself) differs from your reputation (how others see you). This is especially true for the development of EI because we can be blind to how we express and read the emotional components of our interactions. For example, most of us think that we're good listeners, but very often that's really not the case. Without this external_reality_check,_it will be difficult for you to identify the ways that your actions affect your performance. Getting feedback from others can also provide proof of the necessity of shifting our behavior and motivation to do so.
To give you the best sense of where the differences lie between your selfperception and reputation, you should use a 360degree feedback assessment that takes into account the multiple aspects of EI. The key is to find one to give you feedback, which is focused on development and not on performance assessment. And that can give you a detailed understanding of how other people's assessments of you differ from your own assessments.
Secondly, when you get your feedback from an assessment, let that inform what you want to improve. But also consider what your goals are. When it comes to cultivating strengths in emotional intelligence, you're at a huge disadvantage if you're only interested because others say you should be. Your emotional intelligence is so tied up in your sense of self that being intrinsically (内在的) motivated to make the effort matters more when changing longstanding habits than it does when simply learning a skill.
That means the areas that you choose to actively work on should lie at the intersection of the feedback you've gotten and the areas that are most important to your own aspirations. Understanding the influences of your current EI habits relative to your goals will keep you going over a long period of time as you do the work of strengthening your emotional intelligence.
5.What do we know from the first paragraph?
A.Professionals fail to understand the concepts of EI.
B.EI plays a key role in professional development.
C.Leaders are badly in need of improving their EI.
D.You know how to improve EI better with others' help.
6.According to the passage, which of the following is an “external reality check”?
A.You got help from your parents when making a key decision.
B.Your teacher directed you towards a better attitude in study.
C.You reflected yourself and made a New Year Resolution.
D.Your career development speeds up with the guidance of others.
7.What's the main idea of Paragraph 4?
A.It's most reliable to follow your inner call when you want to improve your EI.
B.It's hard for others to know your EI because it hides deeply behind your inner sense.
C.When you want to improve EI, you should take your goals into consideration.
D.Acquiring a new skill is more significant than your attempt to improve your EI.
8.Which of the following might the author agree with?
A.Effective EI development is determined by different factors.
B.EI development is unlikely to happen unless you know what EI really is.
C.The importance of performance assessment is underestimated.
D.Your inner self discourages you from improving your EI.
[语篇解读] 这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了发展特定的情商优势的方法。
5.D [推理判断题。根据第一段“In our work consulting with companies and coaching leaders, we have found that if you're looking to develop particular EI strengths, it helps to consider areas for improvement others have identified along with the goals you want to achieve-and then to actively build habits in those areas rather than simply relying on understanding them conceptually.(在与公司咨询和指导领导者的工作中,我们发现,如果你想要发展特定的EI优势,考虑其他人已经确定的改进领域以及你想要实现的目标,然后积极地在这些领域建立习惯,而不是简单地依赖于概念上的理解是有帮助的。)”可知,你知道如何在别人的帮助下更好地提高情商。]
6.B [推理判断题。根据第二段的“This is especially true for the development of EI because we can be blind to how we express and read the emotional components of our interactions.(对于EI的发展来说尤其如此,因为我们可能对我们如何表达和阅读我们互动中的情感成分视而不见。)”和“Getting feedback from others can also provide proof of the necessity of shifting our behavior and motivation to do so.(从别人那里得到反馈也可以证明我们改变行为的必要性和动机。)”可知,划线词所在句子意为“如果没有这种外部现实检查,你将很难确定你的行为是如何影响你的表现的。”,因此external reality check指的是“外部现实检查”,你的老师教导你要有更好的学习态度就是一种外部现实检查。]
7.C [主旨大意题。根据第四段“Secondly, when you get your feedback from an assessment, let that inform what you want to improve. But also consider what your goals are.(其次,当你从评估中得到反馈时,让它告诉你想要改进的地方。但也要考虑你的目标是什么。)”可知,第四段主要讲述了当你想要提高EI时,你应该考虑你的目标。]
8.A [推理判断题。根据文章第一段“In our work consulting with companies and coaching leaders, we have found that if you're looking to develop particular EI strengths, it helps to consider areas for improvement others have identified along with the goals you want to achieve-and then to actively build habits in those areas rather than simply relying on understanding them conceptually.(在与公司咨询和指导领导者的工作中,我们发现,如果你想要发展特定的EI优势,考虑其他人已经确定的改进领域以及你想要实现的目标,然后积极地在这些领域建立习惯,而不是简单地依赖于概念上的理解是有帮助的。)”可知,作者可能会同意的是有效的EI发展取决于不同的因素。]

话题:领导所需要具备的能力
Your success as a manager can be determined by how you interact with people. The role of a manager as a leader is an important part of these interactions. Leadership involves influencing colleagues so that they follow a given direction or goal. __1__
The first is the “people function”. Here leadership helps to hold a group together and maintain the motivation of the group. __2__ In this role the leader will ensure the group has sufficient funds to carry out its tasks. So a leader should be seen to have influence both outside the group and within the group.
Next comes the “task function”. Here leadership involves deciding what the tasks of the group of employees are and then making sure that they are carried out successfully.
The third is the “strategic function”. __3__ A group of workers that knows what they are trying to achieve will be more efficient and better motivated than a group that doesn't know what it's supposed to be doing.
__4__ For example, how much power the manager has over the group, how well the manager knows the systems present in an organization and how many personal contacts the manager has within the organization.
Good communication is another crucial element to successful leadership. A good leader is aware both of the message to be communicated and of the importance of effective communication to influence members of the group. __5__ It is essential to be a role model for the policies you advocate. And remember, always accept responsibility for your mistakes and don't blame colleagues for things that you do badly. No one is perfect. Just remember this when you interact with colleagues.
A.A leader should act as an ambassador for the group.
B.Leadership here helps with the development of a sense of purpose and direction for the group.
C.It is often stated that leadership has three main functions within groups.
D.A manager's ability to influence people depends on a range of factors.
E.Networking includes the ability to make and maintain useful contacts.
F.This shows that you are aware of the effort colleagues are putting into their work.
G.A manager's behavior is a vital component of the message they communicate to colleagues.
[语篇解读] 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了作为领导所需要具备的能力以及和同事交流需要注意的地方。
1.C [根据下文三段所说的三个职能,C项“人们常说,领导在群体中有三个主要职能。”承上启下,符合语境。]
2.A [根据下文“So a leader should be seen to have influence both outside the group and within the group.”可知,领导者应该被视为在团队外部和团队内部都具有影响力。A项“领导者应该充当团体的大使。”承上启下,符合语境。]
3.B [这一段主要在介绍策略功能。下文对B项“在这里,领导力有助于培养团队的使命感和方向感。”进一步解释,只有使命感和方向感的员工才更高效且有动力。]
4.D [下文在举例说明管理者需要具备的能力。此处为段落主题句,D项“管理者影响他人的能力取决于一系列因素。”符合语境。]
5.G [下文在说成为你所提倡的政策的榜样是很重要的。G项“管理者的行为是他们向同事传达信息的重要组成部分。”符合语境。]

While controlling and containing such a huge amount of heat for a long time is not yet possible and 8.________present, the high temperature can only be kept for about 103 seconds, it is already 9.________ huge step forward.
The new scientific 10.________(achieve),it is hoped, can help make the world a safer and better place for everyone going into the future.
[语篇解读] 本文属于说明文。中国利用一个巨型装置成功复制了太阳发电的过程,这个装置被称为“人造太阳”。人造太阳能的产生是通过将原子“聚变”在一起来实现的。这个过程会释放热量,但不会形成放射性废料。因此,人造太阳能有可能为未来提供一种更清洁的供电方式,并有助于解决气候变化这一紧迫问题。
1.have taken [考查时态。句意:在人造太阳能领域,中国科学家在过去几年里已经取得了一些令人兴奋的进展。句中有“in the past few years”信息,使用现在完成时,主语是Chinese scientists,助动词使用have。故填have taken。]
2.successfully [考查副词。句意:他们在中国合肥用一个被称为“人造太阳”的超大设备成功地复制了太阳产生能量的过程。分析句子结构可知,这里使用副词修饰本句的谓语动词have made,表示“成功复制了太阳发电的过程”。故填successfully。]
3.which [考查非限制性定语从句。句意:他们在中国合肥用一个被称为“人造太阳”的超大设备成功地复制了太阳产生能量的过程。根据句意和句子结构可知,本空所在句子一个是非限制性定语从句,本空处于主语的位置,因此应用which引导定语从句,指代前面的equipment,并在句中作主语。故填which。]
4.is [考查主谓一致和时态。句意:这一过程散发热量,但没有形成放射性废物。根据上下文,这里讲的是人造太阳的工作原理,应用一般现在时,同时,本句属于there be句型,主语是no radioactive waste,所以应用单数。故填is。]
5.resulting [考查现在分词。句意:传统的核电站通过原子分裂来发电,同时产生有害废料。根据句子结构可知,result in的逻辑主语是traditional nuclear power plants,发出result in这个动作,再结合句意,这里用现在分词表示伴随状语。故填resulting。]
6.cleaner [考查形容词比较级。句意:因此,相比而言,人造太阳能有可能为未来提供一种更清洁的能源。本句有“compared with it”信息,再结合句意,这里是artificial solar energy与传统核电相比,因此应该使用形容词比较级。故填cleaner。]
7.produced [考查过去分词。句意:人造太阳产生的热量达到了大约1亿摄氏度。分析句子结构可知,已有谓语动词reached,空处需填非谓语动词作后置定语,修饰名词the heat,二者为逻辑上的动宾关系,需用过去分词形式。故填produced。]
8.at [考查介词。句意:虽然在很长一段时间内控制和容纳如此巨大的热量是不可能的,而且目前的高温只能保持103秒左右,这已经是一个巨大的进步。at present表示“现在;目前”,是固定短语。故填at。]
9.a [考查冠词。句意:虽然在很长一段时间内控制和容纳如此巨大的热量是不可能的,而且目前的高温只能保持103秒左右,这已经是一个巨大的进步。本空后面是huge step, step是可数名词,此处表示泛指,且huge发音以辅音音素开头,应填不定冠词a,表示“这是一个巨大的进步”。故填a。]
10.achievement [考查名词。句意:人们希望这项新的科学成就能够使未来的世界对每个人来说都成为一个更安全、更美好的地方。本空前面是修饰语The new scientific,本空后面是插入语it is hoped,而句子结构显示本句的谓语动词是can help,因此本句缺少主语,故填名词achievement作主语。故填achievement。]
