The concept of emotional intelligence (EI) has gained increasing attention in recent years. Emotional intelligence refers to the ability to recognize, understand, manage, and use emotions effectively.
People with high EI are better at understanding their own emotions. They are aware of what they are feeling and why, which allows them to make more rational decisions. For example, if someone with high EI is feeling angry, they can recognize this emotion and take steps to calm themselves down before reacting impulsively.
High-EI individuals are also skilled at understanding the emotions of others. They can empathize with people, which helps them build better relationships. In a team-work environment, for instance, they can sense when a team member is feeling stressed or discouraged and offer support and encouragement.
Managing emotions is another key aspect of EI. People with high EI can regulate their emotions in different situations. They don’t let their emotions get the better of them. For example, in a difficult business negotiation, they can remain calm and composed, even when faced with pressure.
Using emotions effectively means being able to harness emotions to achieve goals. For example, a person with high EI can use their enthusiasm and passion to motivate themselves to work hard towards a challenging project.
Research has shown that people with high EI tend to be more successful in their personal and professional lives. They have better mental health, stronger relationships, and are more likely to reach their career goals.
8. What is emotional intelligence?
A. The ability to control others’ emotions.
B. The ability to express emotions freely.
C. The ability to understand and manage emotions.
D. The ability to ignore negative emotions.
9. How can people with high EI make rational decisions?
A. By suppressing their emotions.
B By being aware of their emotions.
C. By following their instincts.
D. By avoiding emotional situations.
10. What is an advantage of understanding others’ emotions?
A. It helps in winning arguments.
B. It allows for better self-reflection.
C. It improves relationship building.
D. It makes people more competitive.
11. Why are people with high EI more successful?
A. They are more intelligent in traditional senses.
B. They have better control over their emotions.
C. They are more aggressive in pursuing goals.
D. They can easily change others’ emotions.

Spot — the four-legged Internet-famous robot dog well-known for opening doors, climbing steps with ease, and even taking clean dishes out of the dishwasher — has just landed a full-time job at an oil and gas company in Norway.
At some point this year, the Boston Dynamics robot will begin inspecting an Aker BP’s oil and gas production vessel (船) at the Skarv field in the Norwegian Sea, Bloomberg reports. There, it will examine the vessel carefully, look for oil and gas leaks (泄漏), and put together reports based on the data it collects.
Aker BP, which has spent large amounts of money digitizing(数字化)the oil and gas industry, wants to use Spot to make offshore operations safer, the company said during a presentation of the robot in Oslo today. According to Bloomberg, Aker BP will run the tests with software controlled by its parent company.
“These things never get tired. They have a greater ability to adapt(适应)and to collect data(数据),” Kjetel Digre, Aker BP’s Senior Vice President, told Bloomberg. CEO Karl Johnny Hersvik said that he was “pretty sure” more robots would finally join the operation in the future.
Aker BP has an agreement with an AI software company called Cognite(智能科技) to work out which task Spot is best suited to, and then use it in the wild. They’ve already tested Spot in simulated (模拟的) environments.
Boston Dynamics (动力学)has made Spot available for companies to employ since September 2019, and since then about 75 companies have used one. One is also working with the Massachusetts State Police bomb squad (爆破小组). Boston Dynamics said this won’t be the last time a robot dog lands a job. On its website, Boston Dynamics promotes(促进)Spot for use in construction, public safety, oil and gas applications, and even entertainment.
12. What will Spot do on an Aker BP’s oil and gas production vessel?
A. Help operate it.
B. Wash oil and gas pipes.
C. Check for anything wrong.
D. Test software controlling it.
13. What is the attitude of Aker BP’s leaders to robots like Spot?
A. Curious. B. Uncertain. C. Doubtful. D. Confident.
14. Why did Aker BP work with Cognite?
A. To develop Spot’s market.
B. To make Spot have more abilities.
C. To make sure Spot works well.
D. To work out software for Spot.
15. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The wide use of robot dogs.
B. Aker BP’s plans for the future.
C A growing need for robot dogs.
D. The promising future of Aker BP.

In the pursuit of academic success, creating a productive study routine is very important. By practical strategies, you can optimize (优化) your learning, bear in mind information more efficiently, and perform well in your studies. ____16____
One of the most critical aspects is setting clear, specific goals. Before diving into your studies, define what you aim to accomplish. ____17____ For example, instead of saying something like “I’ll study for two hours,” say “I’ll solve 15 math problems.”
Minimizing distractions is another key strategy for enhancing focus. The modern world is filled with temptations, from social media to background noise. ____18____ If you’re easily distracted, consider using apps that block access to non-essential websites during study periods.
Active learning techniques also play a vital role. Passive reading rarely leads to meaningful understanding. Instead, engage with the material by asking questions, summarizing key points, or teaching concepts to a peer. ____19____ Practice quizzes and mind maps can strengthen your memory and help you identify knowledge gaps.
____20____ Instead, short, focused study sessions followed by rest periods are more efficient. Adopt methods like the Pomodoro (番茄) Technique, which involves 25-minute work intervals (间歇) followed by 5-minute breaks. Use this time to stretch, drink water, or step outside.
By adding these habits to your daily life, you’ll not only do better in school but also learn skills for life like managing time and being self-disciplined. Remember, consistency is key. Start with small steps, stay focused, and see yourself get better over time.
A. Remember to reward yourself.
B. Effective learning is not a simple recipe.
C. Well-defined goals help you stay focused and organized.
D. Equally important is reviewing what you have learned regularly.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“What is your name? ” is a question most frequently asked when people meet for the first time. But for me, it was the first challenge I encountered as an international student in Ireland.
The pronunciation system of the Chinese language is quite different from that of English. For native speakers of English, some Chinese words are rather difficult to pronounce. My given name Qiuyu (秋雨), for instance, happened to be a great challenge for many of them. Every time I gave a self-introduction, I had to explain how to pronounce my name at least five times, yet they still could not say it the way I did.
Once in a lecture, the professor tried repeating my name after me over and over in front of thirty classmates. I really did not know whether I should continue correcting him or simply drop the matter. I feared that my classmates might grow tired of my efforts or even lose patience with me. After all, I did care about how others would think of me. I realized that if I didn’t stop, the entire lecture would be ruined. “It’s okay, professor,” I shrugged (耸肩). The awkward moment ended with the class erupting into laughter. I forced a smile, unsure how to respond further.
After that incident, I stopped acting as a “Chinese teacher.” Instead of correcting others when they were struggling to pronounce my name, I just smiled and nodded approvingly. This approach spared me the discomfort of having to over-explain. However, I soon found that by doing so, I might be losing something more important: the opportunity to share a small part of my cultural identity.
注意:
(1) 续写词数应为150个左右;
(2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
In a class discussion, I was invited to explain the meaning of my name.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Many of my classmates got interested and came up to me after class.

The concept of emotional intelligence (EI) has gained increasing attention in recent years. Emotional intelligence refers to the ability to recognize, understand, manage, and use emotions effectively.
People with high EI are better at understanding their own emotions. They are aware of what they are feeling and why, which allows them to make more rational decisions. For example, if someone with high EI is feeling angry, they can recognize this emotion and take steps to calm themselves down before reacting impulsively.
High-EI individuals are also skilled at understanding the emotions of others. They can empathize with people, which helps them build better relationships. In a team-work environment, for instance, they can sense when a team member is feeling stressed or discouraged and offer support and encouragement.
Managing emotions is another key aspect of EI. People with high EI can regulate their emotions in different situations. They don’t let their emotions get the better of them. For example, in a difficult business negotiation, they can remain calm and composed, even when faced with pressure.
Using emotions effectively means being able to harness emotions to achieve goals. For example, a person with high EI can use their enthusiasm and passion to motivate themselves to work hard towards a challenging project.
Research has shown that people with high EI tend to be more successful in their personal and professional lives. They have better mental health, stronger relationships, and are more likely to reach their career goals.
8. What is emotional intelligence?
A. The ability to control others’ emotions.
B. The ability to express emotions freely.
C. The ability to understand and manage emotions.
D The ability to ignore negative emotions.
9. How can people with high EI make rational decisions?

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了电影《南京照相馆》以及对该电影的评价。
【36题详解】
1.考查谓语动词。句意:《南京照相馆》是一部以南京大屠杀为背景的电影,自周五上映以来,头三天票房已突破4亿元。根据下文since its release on Friday可知,设空处应用现在完成时,强调动作从过去持续到现在并产生了结果,主语a film为单数。故填has earned。
【37题详解】
考查代词。句意:《南京照相馆》是一部以南京大屠杀为背景的电影,自周五上映以来,头三天票房已突破4亿元。此处需用形容词性物主代词修饰名词first three days,指代电影。故填its。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:《南京照相馆》讲述了一群中国平民躲在南京的一家照相馆里的故事。show sb. doing sth.是固定搭配,意为“展现某人正在做某事”,此处表示电影展现平民正躲在照相馆里的场景,需用现在分词作宾语补足语。故填sheltering。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意:他们决心揭露真相,于是偷偷保存底片,并冒着生命危险将其运送出去,希望有一天全世界都能了解所发生的暴行有多严重。根据下文句子主语是they,他们的状态是下定决心的,determine的形容词形式为determined,在句中作状语,且位于句首首字母需大写。故填Determined。
【40题详解】
考查连词。句意:观看《南京照相馆》并非一次“愉快”观影体验——它本就没想成为这样的体验。根据上文“Watching Dead To Rights was not a ‘pleasant’ viewing experience”是否定句,后半句was it meant to be是倒装结构,需用nor连接,译为“也不”,构成nor+助动词+主语的部分倒装语序。故填nor。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这部电影以1937年南京大屠杀为背景,聚焦“吉祥照相馆”——一个平民冒着生命危险保存暴行证据的小避难所,让我内心充满沉重却深刻的情感,既有悲痛,也有敬畏。设空处为定语从句,先行词a tiny refuge是地点,从句中不缺主谓宾,需用关系副词where在从句中作地点状语。故填where。
【42题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意:这部电影以1937年南京大屠杀为背景,聚焦“吉祥照相馆”——一个平民冒着生命危险保存暴行证据的小避难所,让我内心充满沉重却深刻的情感,既有悲痛,也有敬畏。该句主语the film’s focus是单数名词,时态为一般现在时讲述电影的内容和影响,需用第三人称单数。故填leaves。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这部电影迫使我们直面一个痛苦的事实:历史不容遗忘。force sb. to do sth.是固定搭配,意为“迫使某人做某事”,不定式作宾补。故填to confront。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意:故事中的照片不只是影像——它们是证据,是对受害者的承诺:他们所承受的苦难不会被抹去。victim是可数名词,此处指代南京大屠杀中的众多受害者,在句中作介词to的宾语,需用复数形式。故填victims。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意:铭记历史不仅是一种尊重,更是一种责任——确保这样的恐怖永远不再重演。空前有不定冠词a,需用名词形式,responsible的名词形式为responsibility。故填responsibility。

【答案】Dear Jim,
It’s great to hear from you. I feel proud knowing your interest in Chinese history.
As for my favorite figure in Chinese history, it must be Wei Yuan, a great thinker in the late Qing Dynasty. He, in his book, Haiguo Tuzhi (Maps and Records of the World), introduced modern technologies and ideas to China, which opened our eyes to the world. So he and his works are still worthy of being respected by us now. In fact, he inspires me to major in English in college, to be a bridge between China and the world.
Interested in knowing more? I can find you some books! Just let me know.
Yours,
Li Hua

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“What is your name? ” is a question most frequently asked when people meet for the first time. But for me, it was the first challenge I encountered as an international student in Ireland.
The pronunciation system of the Chinese language is quite different from that of English. For native speakers of English, some Chinese words are rather difficult to pronounce. My given name Qiuyu (秋雨), for instance, happened to be a great challenge for many of them. Every time I gave a self-introduction, I had to explain how to pronounce my name at least five times, yet they still could not say it the way I did.
Once in a lecture, the professor tried repeating my name after me over and over in front of thirty classmates. I really did not know whether I should continue correcting him or simply drop the matter. I feared that my classmates might grow tired of my efforts or even lose patience with me. After all, I did care about how others would think of me. I realized that if I didn’t stop, the entire lecture would be ruined. “It’s okay, professor,” I shrugged (耸肩). The awkward moment ended with the class erupting into laughter. I forced a smile, unsure how to respond further.
After that incident, I stopped acting as a “Chinese teacher.” Instead of correcting others when they were struggling to pronounce my name, I just smiled and nodded approvingly. This approach spared me the discomfort of having to over-explain. However, I soon found that by doing so, I might be losing something more important: the opportunity to share a small part of my cultural identity.
注意:
(1) 续写词数应为150个左右;
(2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
In a class discussion, I was invited to explain the meaning of my name.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Many of my classmates got interested and came up to me after class.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
In a class discussion, I was invited to explain the meaning of my name. Standing up, I felt a mix of nervousness and excitement. “My name, Qiuyu, combines the characters for autumn and rain in Chinese,” I began, my voice steady. “Autumn represents harvest and maturity, while rain symbolizes nourishment and growth. Together, they embody a time of abundance and renewal.” As I spoke, I noticed the rapt attention of my classmates, their eyes reflecting curiosity and respect. It was a moment of connection, a bridge built between cultures through the simple act of sharing my name.
Many of my classmates got interested and came up to me after class. They surrounded me, their questions pouring out like a stream. “What other names have beautiful meanings in Chinese?” “Can you teach us how to write our names in Chinese characters?” I smiled, feeling a warmth spread through me. I took out a piece of paper and began to sketch out characters, explaining each stroke and its significance. Through this interaction, I realized that by embracing my cultural identity, I was not only preserving my heritage but also enriching the lives of those around me. It was a small yet meaningful step towards fostering cultural understanding and appreciation.
