These companies have entered foreign markets. 36 This has driven many businesses to include cultural intelligence as a qualification for promotion and employment. Psychologists have developed ways to measure and improve an employee’s cultural intelligence quotient (商) (CQ). CQ is generally evaluated using written assessments similar to intelligence quotient (IQ) tests. 37 And it also checks personal knowledge of situations where extra care is required. Besides, it assesses the effectiveness of an employee’s plans for dealing with sensitive situations and the ability to put strategies to practical use. As we all know, IQ is largely unchangeable. 38 Generally, CQ can be improved by training. People going through the training could score higher in CQ tests than those who don’t receive such training. These individuals generally accept belief systems other than their own. 39 For those with only occasional contact with members of a certain group, one night of reading may be enough to learn the basics of polite/impolite behavior of that culture. Those who make frequent trips may need to do more in-depth research. Online reading and conversations with foreign people are good approaches to enhancing cultural intelligence. After learning about cultural differences, those with high CQ often develop plans to apply that knowledge to social interactions. Often, they examine their typical behaviors and compare them to the normal behaviors of another culture. For example, a person usually greeting business associates with a hug would attempt to predict the effects of that behavior on members of a society that’s more protective of personal space. 25 A．Like IQ, CQ is also important. B．In contrast, CQ is quite different. C．Thus, their workers need cultural sensitivity. D．He would then adjust his behavior accordingly. E．CQ testing can improve one’s cultural intelligence.

This helps keep ecological balance and promotes better life quality. 38 This kind of diet is not usually preferred by people who enjoy the taste of animal meat. Just like the resistance some people have towards eating insects, the shift to plant-based diet also requires great changes in how people perceive and enjoy food. The future of our food supply will depend heavily on our willingness to accept more sustainable eating habits. Options like lab-grown meats are promising. Yet will these food choices become common in our supermarkets? 29 How we choose to eat in the coming years will contribute to ensuring a sustainable future for you and me. 39 Hopefully, we can balance our nutritional needs with the planet’s ability to support us, building a harmonious relationship with our environment.

Nothing survives without water, which is the most basic fact of life. Yet, we are facing a global water crisis that affects everything from agriculture to public health. 36 Climate Change Climate change makes the global water problem worse, especially in places where there’s not enough water already. 37 Cutting down trees, like in forests, makes the climate even hotter, which is bad for water and land. For example, in some parts of Africa, a lot of the land where people grow food is getting ruined because of droughts caused by climate change. Natural Disasters A UNICEF report shows that nearly 75% of all natural disasters from 2001 to 2018 were water-related, whether linked to climate change or not. This has added to the global water crisis. These disasters include droughts and floods, which can destroy or pollute water resources. 38 Wastewater 39 Sometimes water can be plentiful in an area. But whether that water is safe to drink. . . that’s another story. Globally, 44% of household wastewater is reused without being treated. 40 According to the UN, this means 1. 8 billion people use water that is dirty with rubbish, chemicals, or other harmful pollutants. Wastewater causes many diseases around the world, such as cholera and polio. A．However, these events will not happen B．Here are the main reasons behind this crisis C．This makes clean drinking water harder to find D．Wastewater is another major reason for the global water crisis.

These companies have entered foreign markets. 36 This has driven many businesses to include cultural intelligence as a qualification for promotion and employment. Psychologists have developed ways to measure and improve an employee’s cultural intelligence quotient (商) (CQ). CQ is generally evaluated using written assessments similar to intelligence quotient (IQ) tests. 37 And it also checks personal knowledge of situations where extra care is required. Besides, it assesses the effectiveness of an employee’s plans for dealing with sensitive situations and the ability to put strategies to practical use. As we all know, IQ is largely unchangeable. 38 Generally, CQ can be improved by training. People going through the training could score higher in CQ tests than those who don’t receive such training. These individuals generally accept belief systems other than their own. 39 For those with only occasional contact with members of a certain group, one night of reading may be enough to learn the basics of polite/impolite behavior of that culture. Those who make frequent trips may need to do more in-depth research. Online reading and conversations with foreign people are good approaches to enhancing cultural intelligence. After learning about cultural differences, those with high CQ often develop plans to apply that knowledge to social interactions. Often, they examine their typical behaviors and compare them to the normal behaviors of another culture. For example, a person usually greeting business associates with a hug would attempt to predict the effects of that behavior on members of a society that’s more protective of personal space. 25 A．Like IQ, CQ is also important. B．In contrast, CQ is quite different. C．Thus, their workers need cultural sensitivity. D．He would then adjust his behavior accordingly. E．CQ testing can improve one’s cultural intelligence. F．Improving cultural knowledge can easily increase CQ. G．CQ testing measures one’s desire to be culturally sensitive. 【答案】36.C 37.G 38.B 39.F 40.D 【解析】 【导语】本文为说明文。文章主要介绍了文化智商（CQ）的概念、测量方式、与IQ的区别、提升方法及其在国际企业运营中的重要性。 36.由上文“Improved technology has enabled many corporations to operate internationally.

Some might find it extremely difficult to cope with the barriers. Following are some strategies to help you handle a personal setback and get back on track to achieve your goal. ●Understand it’s normal. Fewer than 20 percent of people succeed in reaching their goal on the first attempt. In other words it’s not whether a challenge will happen, but it’s when. 36 ●Don’t deny it. Sometimes it can be difficult to identify a setback. The problem can be staring you right in the face, but you may deny there’s any cause for alarm. 37 This inability to acknowledge the problem doesn’t mean you’re stupid. It’s just that denial can cloud your awareness of the issue. It’s important to be open to the honest feedback. ● 38 Stop and consider carefully what went wrong. The most common causes of a setback are personal worries, overconfidence, and poor coping skills. Take a look at any factor that may have contributed to the setback: where you were, who you were with, what you were thinking and feeling. ●Learn from it.

Here is some practical advice. Initially, don’t choose a major merely based on money, otherwise mistakes will happen. 36 Can you see yourself investing the next 40 years in this career without getting bored? Actually choosing a major with high-paying career won’t guarantee you a high-paying job. It depends on position openings and your competitors when you graduate. 37 You want to pick something that interests you, but you need to be sure you won’t get sick of it as time progresses. 38 A hobby is a pursuit outside one’s regular occupation for relaxation while passion comforts you and drives you crazy at the same time. It isn’t relaxing. It inserts itself into your life. When you choose to study your hobby and build your life around it, it can lose its appeal and won’t be relaxing. Thirdly, never choose a major by feeling instead of research. Being interested in a major isn’t enough. Researching the field will ensure you to choose a right major. If you know someone in the field, ask them for some information. Besides, consider the entire journey you’ll pursue—the coursework, the major demands, the school time you’ll need, and the available job prospects. 44 Lastly, don’t always depend on your parents. 39 However, the choice is ultimately yours. If anyone wants to help you in choosing a major and you completely agree with their opinions, then go with it. But if you want your future to go in any other direction, speak up. The only way to get the best outcome is to shape your own future. A．Next, a hobby is never meant to be your priority. B．The opinions of your family aren’t something to ignore. C．Besides, keep a balance between hobbies and relaxation. D．Typically, people will confuse their hobbies with their passions. E．You should also consider your passions, dislikes, and happiness. F．Remember college is an investment of both your time and money. G．If you’re passionate about a major after research, follow your heart. 【答案】36.E 37.A 38.D 39.G 40.B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要针对如何选择对未来职业有用的大学专业提出了一些实用的建议。 36.前文“Initially, don’t choose a major merely based on money, otherwise mistakes will happen.(一开始，不要仅仅基于金钱来选择专业，否则会出错。)”讲述了不要仅仅根据金钱来选择专业，空处应讲述应该考虑的其他因素，E项“你还应该考虑你的激情、厌恶和幸福。”符合题意。故选E。 37.空处是本段的主旨句。根据后文的“You want to pick something that interests you, but you need to be sure you won’t get sick of it as time progresses.(你想挑选一些你感兴趣的东西，但你需要确保随着时间的推移，你不会厌倦它。)”和“When you choose to study your hobby and build your life around it, it can lose its appeal and won’t be relaxing.(当你选择研究你的爱好并围绕它建立你的生活时，它可能会失去吸引力，也不会令人放松。)”可知，本段主要讲述的是选择专业的时候不要首先考虑自己的爱好，A项“其次，爱好从来都不是你的首要任务。”符合题意。故选A。 38.后文“A hobby is a pursuit outside one’s regular occupation for relaxation while passion comforts you and drives you crazy at the same time.(爱好是一种在日常工作之外的放松追求，而激情既能安慰你，又能让你发疯。)”讲述了爱好和激情之间的区别，所以空处应讲述的是二者容易被混为一谈，D项“通常，人们会将自己的爱好与激情混为一谈。”符合题意。故选D。 39.根据本段主旨句“Thirdly, never choose a major by feeling instead of research.(第三，千万不要凭感觉而非研究来选择专业。)”可知，本段主要建议在选专业之前要进行研究，G项“如果你在研究之后对某个专业充满热情，那就用心去做吧。”符合题意。故选G。 40.前文“Lastly, don’t always depend on your parents.(最后，不要总是依赖你的父母。)”讲述了不要总是依赖父母的意见，后文“However, the choice is ultimately yours.(然而，最终选择权在你。)”讲述了最终做决定的是你自己，由此可知，空处应是说家人的意见不容忽视，B项“你的家人的意见不容忽视。”符合题意。故选B。 5.（23-24高二下·广东省揭阳市·期末） Are you someone who easily gets tired and doesn’t feel like doing anything?

Moreover, a real estate agent can focus the home search on properties that fit buyers’ needs and their price range, book house tours, make an offer and even attend closing. 39 It’s important to pay close attention to a home’s structural condition. Cracks in the walls, floors or in the basement could suggest bigger issues; some smells could signal a mildew (霉) problem. A pre-purchase home inspection by a qualified inspector is crucial for revealing any problems and might enable buyers to request concessions (让步) from the seller.
