B
I was a volunteer with the city of Milpitas and was studying at Mission College. One night after going to class, I was heading home and decided to stop off at a burrito (墨西哥卷饼) restaurant. I got my burrito and started to head for my car when I was approached by a homeless man. He was very dirty and obviously very hungry. He asked me for some change to buy a little food. As I was pulling some change out, I had an idea.
I asked him to follow me back into the burrito restaurant to order. He was ashamed of the way he looked and said he did not want to go in there. But I insisted. When he finally followed me in, the people behind the counter (柜台) refused to let him in, but I told them that I was buying him dinner and he had a right to be there. After we argued over it for a while, they finally gave in. It seemed like he was relieved a bit to be sitting at a table. I asked him to order whatever he wanted. But he only ordered a burrito.
For someone who has been on the fringes (边缘) of society, he was very surprised at my generosity. But to me, it was what any “human being” should do or at least offer. You had to be there to see the look in his face. It reminded me when I was young, my mom brought out a big birthday cake for me on my birthday, with all the candy, chocolate and goodies that we were about to eat. I think he felt special, like he was getting attention, something that I could see he hadn’t experienced in a long time.
I often think about this story because, to me, it’s not just about helping someone out by feeding them. It’s more about giving them the respect and dignity of being a human being and allowing them to feel good about themselves.
4. Why did the homeless man approach the author?
A. To ask for a lift. B. To beg for money.
C. To request a burrito. D. To seek company.
5. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Where to sit in the restaurant.
B. What to order for the homeless man.
C. Whether to buy dinner for the homeless man.
D. Whether to allow the homeless man to enter the restaurant.

A. To demonstrate his wonderful childhood.
B. To stress the importance of enjoying a feast.
C. To contrast his life with that of the homeless man.
D. To describe the happy feelings of the homeless man.
7. What does the author suggest doing in the last paragraph?
A. Treating others with respect.
B. Fighting against the world of hunger.
C. Encouraging acts of bravery.
D. Paying attention to the homeless.

When you hear “I have a dream…”, one of the most famous speeches in human history, you’ll never have the idea how the audience on the scene were fueled by emotional intelligence. When Martin Luther King. Jr. presented his dream, he chose language that would stir the hearts of his audience. Delivering this electrifying message required emotional intelligence — the ability to recognize, understand, and manage emotions.
Emotional intelligence has been highly recommended by leaders, policymakers, and educators as the solution to a wide range of social problems. Emotional intelligence is important, but the uncontrolled enthusiasm has obscured (掩盖) a dark side. New evidence shows that when people sharpen their emotional skills, they become better at controlling others. When you’re good at controlling your own emotions, you can hide your true feelings. When you know what others are feeling, you can motivate them to act against their own best interests.
Social scientists have begun to document this dark side of emotional intelligence. In a research conducted by Professor Jochen Menges from University of Toronto, when a leader gave an inspiring speech filled with emotion, the audience was less likely to examine the message closely and remember the content. Ironically (讽刺的是), audience members were so moved by the speech that they claimed to recall more of it.
The authors call this the awestruck (敬畏的) effect, but it might just as easily be described as the dumbstruck effect. One observer reflected that Hitler’s persuasive impact came from his ability to strategically express emotions — he would “tear open his heart” — and these emotions affected his followers to the point that they would “stop thinking critically and just emote (激动地表达感情).”
Leaders who master emotions can rob us of our abilities to reason. If their values are out of step with our own, the results can be destructive. New evidence suggests that when people have selfish motives, emotional intelligence becomes a weapon for controlling others.
Throwing light on this dark side of emotional intelligence is one mission of a research team led by University College London professor Martin Kilduff. According to these experts, emotional intelligence helps people disguise (伪装) one set of emotions while expressing another for personal gain. Professor Kilduffs team writes, “The strategic disguise of one’s own emotions and the controlling of others’ emotions for strategic ends are behaviors evident not only on Shakespeare’s stage but also in the offices and corridors where power and influence are traded.”
Of course, people aren’t always using emotional intelligence for evil ends. More often than not, high EQ is helpful in most aspects of our life. Emotional intelligence — like any skill — can be used for good or evil. So whether it is a gift or a curse lies in your hand.
8. Why does the author mention Martin Luther King, Jr?
A. To advocate a society with fewer problems. B. To recommend his speech to other leaders.
C. To honor the great leader for his courage. D. To introduce the major topic to readers.
9. What is the dumbstruck effect of Hitler’s emotional intelligence?
A. His followers would tear open their hearts to him.
B. His followers would express emotions strategically.
C. His followers would develop the self-serving motives.
D. His followers would lose the ability to reason properly.
10. How do people use their emotional intelligence for personal gain?
A. They disguise their true emotions and show another one.
B. They present their strategic behaviors on the stage.
C. They help their colleagues to build up confidence.
D. They lower their own dignity to gain popularity.
11. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. The benefits of emotional intelligence. B. The reasons for using emotional skills.
C. The dark side of emotional intelligence. D. The advantages and disadvantages of emotions.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了什么是情商及情商的阴暗面。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“When Martin Luther King. Jr. presented his dream, he chose language that would stir the hearts of his audience. Delivering this electrifying message required emotional intelligence — the ability to recognize, understand, and manage emotions.(当马丁·路德·金在讲述他的梦想时,他选择了能够触动听众心弦的语言。传递这种激动人心的信息需要情商——即识别、理解和管理情绪的能力)”可知,马丁·路德·金的演讲就是运用了情商。而情商就是文章的主题,所以引用马丁·路德·金的例子就是引出主题。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“One observer reflected that Hitler’s persuasive impact came from his ability to strategically express emotions — he would “tear open his heart” — and these emotions affected his followers to the point that they would “stop thinking critically and just emote (激动地表达感情).”(一位观察家反映,希特勒的说服力来自于他策略性地表达情绪的能力——他会“撕开自己的心”——这些情绪影响着他的追随者,以至于他们“停止批判性思考,只是情绪化”)”可知,希特勒的情商会让他的追随者失去理智。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“According to these experts, emotional intelligence helps people disguise (伪装) one set of emotions while expressing another for personal gain.(根据这些专家的说法,情商可以帮助人们掩饰一种情绪,同时表达另一种情绪以获取个人利益)”可知,情商可以使人们掩饰他们自己的真实情感,展示另一种情感。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第三段“Social scientists have begun to document this dark side of emotional intelligence.(社会科学家已经开始记录情商的黑暗面)”可知,文章前两段介绍什么是情商,从第三段开始主要介绍情商的阴暗面,并举例论证。所以本文主要讲的是情商的阴暗面,故C选项“情商的黑暗面”是文章最佳标题。故选C。
D
On January 22, international researchers shared a significant finding in the scientific journal Nature. They discovered bursts of energy in an unexpected part of space, which they named “chorus waves”. These waves got their name because they vibrate (震动) at the same rates as the sounds we can hear. When changed into hearable signals, they sound just like birds chirping (鸣叫) cheerfully.
Scientists have been aware of chorus waves in space for years. However, the latest study brought a big surprise. The researchers found that these waves exist as far as 100,000 kilometers away from Earth. This is the greatest distance at which chorus waves have ever been detected from a planet.
Chengming Liu, a study writer from Beihang University, stated in an email, “Chorus waves are one of the strongest and most significant waves in space.” Allison Jaynes, a space physicist not participating in this study, commented, “This opens up a lot of new questions about the physics that could be possible in this area.”
The newfound chorus waves were detected in an area where Earth’s magnetic (磁的) field extends. Scientists didn’t expect to find them there. Now, they’re eager to figure out how these unique waves form. Jaynes added, “We surely need to find more of these events.”
Scientists still are not sure how chorus waves develop, but they believe Earth’s magnetic field is related to it. In the past, radio antennas (天线) detected chorus waves. For example, in the 1960s, an Antarctic research station picked them up. NASA’s Van Allen Probes also heard the chirping sounds, but from a closer distance. The most recent chorus waves were detected by NASA’s Magnetospheric Multiscale satellites, which were sent into space in 2015 to study Earth and the sun’s magnetic fields.
Chorus waves have also been found near other planets including Jupiter and Saturn. The waves can produce high-energy electrons. That means they can be a danger to satellite communications. The researchers said their findings suggest that chorus waves might be found everywhere in the magnetic fields of planets.
12. What makes chorus waves get their name?
A. The place where they are first discovered.
B. Their vibration rates like hearable sounds.
C. The way they affect satellite signals.
D. Their movement speed in space.
13. What can be inferred from the scientists’ comments?
A. Further research is crucial.
B. Wave creation is clear.
C. Discoveries lack importance.
D. Waves pose satellite risks.
14. Which detected the chorus waves at the greatest distance from Earth?
A. NASA’s Van Allen Probes.
B. Scientists from Beihang University.
C. An Antarctic research station in the 1960s.
D. NASA’s Magnetospheric Multiscale satellites.
15. Which is the best title for the text?
A. The Naming Story of Chorus Waves
B. Chorus Waves: A New Threat to Satellites
C. Revealing the Mysteries of Chorus Waves
D. Scientists’ Great Debate on Chorus Waves
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C

【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了国际研究人员在《自然》杂志上公布的关于“合唱波”的重大发现,包括其命名原因、探测距离、科学家的相关评论、探测工具以及潜在影响等内容,展现了这一太空现象的奥秘与研究价值。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“They discovered bursts of energy in an unexpected part of space, which they named “chorus waves”. These waves got their name because they vibrate at the same rates as the sounds we can hear.(他们在太空的一个意想不到的地方发现了能量爆发,将其命名为“合唱波”。这些波得名是因为它们的震动频率与我们能听到的声音相同)” 可知,合唱波的命名源于其震动频率与可听声音的频率一致。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“This opens up a lot of new questions about the physics that could be possible in this area.(这引发了关于该区域可能存在的物理现象的许多新问题)”及第四段“We surely need to find more of these events.(我们当然需要发现更多这样的现象)”可知,科学家的评论表明目前存在诸多未知问题,进一步研究至关重要。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The researchers found that these waves exist as far as 100,000 kilometers away from Earth.(研究人员发现这些波存在于距离地球10万公里的地方)”及第五段“The most recent chorus waves were detected by NASA’s Magnetospheric Multiscale satellites, which were sent into space in 2015 to study Earth and the sun’s magnetic fields. (最近的合唱波是由美国国家航空航天局的磁层多尺度卫星探测到的,这些卫星于2015年被送入太空,研究地球和太阳的磁场)”可知,美国国家航空航天局的磁层多尺度卫星探测到了距离地球最远的合唱波。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章围绕“合唱波”展开,依次介绍了其命名原因、探测距离、科学家对其成因的困惑与研究需求、探测工具及分布推测等,整体旨在揭示合唱波的种种奥秘。C项“揭示合唱波的奥秘”能全面概括全文,适合用作标题。故选C。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中国传统节日清明节,重点讲述了其起源以及与寒食节的关系。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:清明节是中国的传统节日,人们在这一天纪念祖先、缅怀逝者。分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语动词“is”,所以“observe”应用非谓语动词形式;且“a traditional Chinese holiday”和“observe”之间是逻辑上的被动关系,即“节日被庆祝”,所以用过去分词作后置定语。故填observed。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意:清明节大约在四月初,在中国社会中具有重要的文化意义。“importance”是名词,需要用形容词作定语来修饰。故填cultural。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意:清明节的传统并非一朝一夕形成的;相反,它们源自寒食节和一个关于春秋时期晋国公子重耳的追随者介子推的悲伤故事。分析句子结构可知,句中缺少主语,应用名词形式,且“tradition”为可数名词,此处表示泛指“多个传统”,应用复数形式。故填traditions。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:重耳非常感动,承诺有一天要报答介子推。“promise to do sth.”是固定短语,意为“承诺做某事”。故填to reward。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:然而,介子推并不是那种追求回报的人。此处为定语从句,先行词是“person”,指人,在定语从句中作主语,所以用关系代词“who”或“that”引导均可。故填who/that。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意:当重耳最终发现介子推的下落时,他命令军队放火烧山,逼迫介子推出来。修饰动词“discovered”,需用“final”的副词形式。故填finally。
【42题详解】
考查动词的时态和语态。句意:大火熄灭后,介子推被发现死在一棵烧焦的柳树下。分析句子结构可知,“Jie”和“find”之间是被动关系,即“介子推被发现”,且句子描述的是过去发生的事情,所以用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was found。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:为了纪念介子推,重耳宣布在介子推去世的那天禁止生火,人们应该吃冷食,这就是寒食节的由来。“in memory of ”是固定短语,意为“为了纪念”。故填of。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:为了纪念介子推,重耳宣布在介子推去世的那天禁止生火,人们应该吃冷食,这就是寒食节的由来。分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语动词“announced”,所以“give”应用非谓语动词形式;且“give rise to the Cold Food Festival”是“宣布”这一动作带来的自然而然的结果,所以用现在分词作结果状语。故填giving。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意:起初,只有晋国遵循这一习俗,但后来,这个节日在中国各地传播开来。此处特指前面提到的“寒食节”,所以用定冠词“the”修饰。故填the。

____________________________________________________________________________________________

【解析】
【详解】考查时态和定语从句。表示“他们”用they,作主语,位于句首,首字母大写。表示“允许”用allow,作主语,主句描述的是现在的情况,所以时态使用一般现在时,主语为复数,谓语用动词原形。表示“游客”用visitor,不止一名游客,用复数形式,作宾语。表示“未曾踏足中国的”用定语从句,修饰visitors,从句中:先行词是visitors,指人,关系词代替先行词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词who引导,表示“去过”用have never been to;表示“中国”用China,作宾语。表示“亲身体验……”用experience...first hand,用不定式,作宾补。表示“中国传统文化”用traditional Chinese culture,作experience的宾语。表示“在唐人街”用in Chinatown,作地点状语。故翻译为They allow visitors who have never been to China to experience traditional Chinese culture first hand in Chinatown.

I was a volunteer with the city of Milpitas and was studying at Mission College. One night after going to class, I was heading home and decided to stop off at a burrito (墨西哥卷饼) restaurant. I got my burrito and started to head for my car when I was approached by a homeless man. He was very dirty and obviously very hungry. He asked me for some change to buy a little food. As I was pulling some change out, I had an idea.
I asked him to follow me back into the burrito restaurant to order. He was ashamed of the way he looked and said he did not want to go in there. But I insisted. When he finally followed me in, the people behind the counter (柜台) refused to let him in, but I told them that I was buying him dinner and he had a right to be there. After we argued over it for a while, they finally gave in. It seemed like he was relieved a bit to be sitting at a table. I asked him to order whatever he wanted. But he only ordered a burrito.
For someone who has been on the fringes (边缘) of society, he was very surprised at my generosity. But to me, it was what any “human being” should do or at least offer. You had to be there to see the look in his face. It reminded me when I was young, my mom brought out a big birthday cake for me on my birthday, with all the candy, chocolate and goodies that we were about to eat. I think he felt special, like he was getting attention, something that I could see he hadn’t experienced in a long time.
I often think about this story because, to me, it’s not just about helping someone out by feeding them. It’s more about giving them the respect and dignity of being a human being and allowing them to feel good about themselves.
4. Why did the homeless man approach the author?
A. To ask for a lift. B. To beg for money.
C. To request a burrito. D. To seek company.
5. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Where to sit in the restaurant.
B. What to order for the homeless man.
C. Whether to buy dinner for the homeless man.
D. Whether to allow the homeless man to enter the restaurant.
6. Why does the author mention his birthday in paragraph 3?
A. To demonstrate his wonderful childhood.
B. To stress the importance of enjoying a feast.
C. To contrast his life with that of the homeless man.
D. To describe the happy feelings of the homeless man.
7. What does the author suggest doing in the last paragraph?
A. Treating others with respect.
B. Fighting against the world of hunger.
C. Encouraging acts of bravery.
D. Paying attention to the homeless.

When you hear “I have a dream…”, one of the most famous speeches in human history, you’ll never have the idea how the audience on the scene were fueled by emotional intelligence. When Martin Luther King. Jr. presented his dream, he chose language that would stir the hearts of his audience. Delivering this electrifying message required emotional intelligence — the ability to recognize, understand, and manage emotions.
Emotional intelligence has been highly recommended by leaders, policymakers, and educators as the solution to a wide range of social problems. Emotional intelligence is important, but the uncontrolled enthusiasm has obscured (掩盖) a dark side. New evidence shows that when people sharpen their emotional skills, they become better at controlling others. When you’re good at controlling your own emotions, you can hide your true feelings. When you know what others are feeling, you can motivate them to act against their own best interests.
Social scientists have begun to document this dark side of emotional intelligence. In a research conducted by Professor Jochen Menges from University of Toronto, when a leader gave an inspiring speech filled with emotion, the audience was less likely to examine the message closely and remember the content. Ironically (讽刺的是), audience members were so moved by the speech that they claimed to recall more of it.
The authors call this the awestruck (敬畏的) effect, but it might just as easily be described as the dumbstruck effect. One observer reflected that Hitler’s persuasive impact came from his ability to strategically express emotions — he would “tear open his heart” — and these emotions affected his followers to the point that they would “stop thinking critically and just emote (激动地表达感情).”
Leaders who master emotions can rob us of our abilities to reason. If their values are out of step with our own, the results can be destructive. New evidence suggests that when people have selfish motives, emotional intelligence becomes a weapon for controlling others.
Throwing light on this dark side of emotional intelligence is one mission of a research team led by University College London professor Martin Kilduff. According to these experts, emotional intelligence helps people disguise (伪装) one set of emotions while expressing another for personal gain. Professor Kilduffs team writes, “The strategic disguise of one’s own emotions and the controlling of others’ emotions for strategic ends are behaviors evident not only on Shakespeare’s stage but also in the offices and corridors where power and influence are traded.”
Of course, people aren’t always using emotional intelligence for evil ends. More often than not, high EQ is helpful in most aspects of our life. Emotional intelligence — like any skill — can be used for good or evil. So whether it is a gift or a curse lies in your hand.
8. Why does the author mention Martin Luther King, Jr?
A. To advocate a society with fewer problems. B. To recommend his speech to other leaders.
C. To honor the great leader for his courage. D. To introduce the major topic to readers.
9. What is the dumbstruck effect of Hitler’s emotional intelligence?
A. His followers would tear open their hearts to him.
B. His followers would express emotions strategically.
C. His followers would develop the self-serving motives.
D. His followers would lose the ability to reason properly.
10. How do people use their emotional intelligence for personal gain?
A. They disguise their true emotions and show another one.
B. They present their strategic behaviors on the stage.
C. They help their colleagues to build up confidence.
D. They lower their own dignity to gain popularity.
11. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. The benefits of emotional intelligence. B. The reasons for using emotional skills.
C. The dark side of emotional intelligence. D. The advantages and disadvantages of emotions.

On January 22, international researchers shared a significant finding in the scientific journal Nature. They discovered bursts of energy in an unexpected part of space, which they named “chorus waves”. These waves got their name because they vibrate (震动) at the same rates as the sounds we can hear. When changed into hearable signals, they sound just like birds chirping (鸣叫) cheerfully.
Scientists have been aware of chorus waves in space for years. However, the latest study brought a big surprise. The researchers found that these waves exist as far as 100,000 kilometers away from Earth. This is the greatest distance at which chorus waves have ever been detected from a planet.
Chengming Liu, a study writer from Beihang University, stated in an email, “Chorus waves are one of the strongest and most significant waves in space.” Allison Jaynes, a space physicist not participating in this study, commented, “This opens up a lot of new questions about the physics that could be possible in this area.”
The newfound chorus waves were detected in an area where Earth’s magnetic (磁的) field extends. Scientists didn’t expect to find them there. Now, they’re eager to figure out how these unique waves form. Jaynes added, “We surely need to find more of these events.”
Scientists still are not sure how chorus waves develop, but they believe Earth’s magnetic field is related to it. In the past, radio antennas (天线) detected chorus waves. For example, in the 1960s, an Antarctic research station picked them up. NASA’s Van Allen Probes also heard the chirping sounds, but from a closer distance. The most recent chorus waves were detected by NASA’s Magnetospheric Multiscale satellites, which were sent into space in 2015 to study Earth and the sun’s magnetic fields.
Chorus waves have also been found near other planets including Jupiter and Saturn. The waves can produce high-energy electrons. That means they can be a danger to satellite communications. The researchers said their findings suggest that chorus waves might be found everywhere in the magnetic fields of planets.
12. What makes chorus waves get their name?
A. The place where they are first discovered.
B. Their vibration rates like hearable sounds.
C. The way they affect satellite signals.
D. Their movement speed in space.
13. What can be inferred from the scientists’ comments?

B. Wave creation is clear.
C. Discoveries lack importance.
D. Waves pose satellite risks.
14. Which detected the chorus waves at the greatest distance from Earth?
A. NASA’s Van Allen Probes.
B. Scientists from Beihang University.
C. An Antarctic research station in the 1960s.
D. NASA’s Magnetospheric Multiscale satellites.
15. Which is the best title for the text?
