一、阅读理解
Passage 1
In the complex landscape of human interaction,the ability to manage our emotions and understand the
perspectives of others is not just a social nicety but a fundamental life skill.This is the domain of
emotional intelligence(EQ),a concept popularized by psychologist Daniel Goleman.Unlike IQ,which
remains relatively stable throughout life,EQ can be developed and strengthened,offering a pathway to
improved relationships,career success,and personal well-being.
At its core,emotional intelligence comprises four key components.The first is self-awareness,the
ability to recognize and understand your own emotions as they happen.This involves more than just
knowing you're angry;it means understanding the tiggers and the impact your mood has on your
thoughts and actions.For instance,a self-aware person who feels their fiustration nising during a
meeting can consciously decide to take a deep breath or ask for a moment to collect their thoughts,
rather than lashing out.This foundational skill paves the way for the second component:self
management.This is the capacity to control impulsive feelings and behaviors,to adapt to changing
circumstances,and to follow through on commitments.It is the difference between being a slave to
your emotions and being the master of them.
The third and fourth components turn our focus outward.Empathy,the ability to sense other people's
emotions and understand their perspective,is crucial for building strong connections.It allows us to
read the room,to know when a colleague is struggling or a fiiend needs support,even if they haven't
said a word.Finally,social skill,or relationship management,is the culmination of the other
components.It's about being able to influence,inspire,and develop others while managing conflict
effectively.People with high social skill are natural networkers and leaders,skilled at finding common
ground and building rapport.
The path to higher EQ is not about suppressing your feelings.Rather,it is about acknowledging them,
understanding their message,and choosing a constructive response.It involves active listening,pausing
before reacting,and making a genuine effort to see the world from another's point of view.By
cultivating these skills,we can transform our relationships,reduce stress,and navigate the inevitable
storms of life with greater resilience and grace.
()1.What is the main difference between IQ and EQ according to the passage?
A.IQ is more important for career success.
B.EQ can be improved,while IQ stays largely unchanged.
C.IQ focuses on logic,while EQ focuses on feelings.
D.EQ is only useful in social situations.
()2.The example of a person feeling fiustrated during a meeting is used to illustrate the concept of
A.self-management
B.empathy
C.social skill
D.self-awareness
()3.What does the author mean by "reading the room"in the context of empathy?
A.To be aware of your own internal state.
B.To understand the general mood and dynamics of a group.
C.To control the emotions of others.
D.To follow the instructions of a leader.
()4.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.A high EQ means you never experience negative emotions.
B.The four components of EQ are independent of each other.
C.Social skill is the ability to make friends easily
D.Achieving a higher EQ involves choosing how to respond to feelings.
Passage 2
The teenage years are often portrayed as a period of intense emotional turmoil,a stereotype that,while
not universal,holds a kemel of truth.This developmental stage is marked by profound changes in the
brain,body,and social environment,which can sometimes lead to conflict,particularly between
teenagers and their parents.Understanding the root causes of this friction can be the first step toward
resolving it and strengthening the family bond.
From a teenager's perspective,the world is rapidly expanding.They are developing their own
identity,values,and opinions,which may differ from those of their parents.The desire for autonomy
and independence is powerful.They want to make their own choices about friends,hobbies,and how
they spend their time.When parents impose rules or question their decisions,it can feel like a direct
challenge to their growing sense of self.This is often not a sign of disrespect,but rather an expression
of a fundamental psychological need for control over their own lives.
On the other side,parents are driven by a different set of concemns.Their primary role is to protect and
guide.Having lived longer,they can foresee potential dangers and pitfalls that their teenager may not
recognize.Their rules and advice are often bomn from love and a deep-seated desire to prevent their
children from making painful mistakes.What a teenager perceives as control,a parent may see as
necessary guidance.The mismatch between a teenager's need for freedom and a parent's need for
safety is a classic recipe for misunderstanding.
The key to navigating this difficult terrain lies in communication and respect.For teenagers,this means
trying to see the wory behind the rule.Instead of reacting with anger,they could explain their
perspective calmly.For parents,it means giving their teenager room to grow while still providing a
safety net.This involves more listening and less lecturing,and trusting their child to make good
decisions,even if it means allowing them to leam from small failures.By making an effort to
understand each other's viewpoint,both parents and teenagers can shift from a relationship of conflict
to one of collaboration.The goal is not for one side to win,but for the family relationship as a whole
to grow stronger.
()1.What is the primary reason for conflict between teenagers and parents according to the passage?
A.Teenagers are naturally disrespectful.
B.Parents are too strict and unreasonable.
C.There is a clash between a teenager's need for independence and a parent's need for safety.
D.Teenagers and parents have completely different personalities.
()2.The word"autonomy"in paragraph two is closest in meaning to
A.independence
B.rebellion
C.approval
D.agreement
()3.According to the passage,what is the most effective way to resolve the conflict?
A.Teenagers should follow all of their parents'rules.
B.Parents should eliminate all restrictions.
C.Both sides should make an effort to understand each other's perspective.
D.The whole family should visit a professional counselor
()4.What approach does the author suggest for parents to take?
A.Listen more and give their teenagers space to leam.
B.Impose stricter rules to ensure safety.
C.Allow their teenagers to make all decisions without input.
D.Constantly remind teenagers of their possible mistakes.

三、阅读短文回答问题
Read the following passage and answer the questions in complete sentences.
The concept of "constructive criticism"is often praised as a vital tool for growth in both personal and
professional contexts.On paper,it sounds ideal:feedback that is honest,specific,and aimed at helping
someone improve.However,the gap between delivering constructive criticism and having it be
received well is often vast,filled with potential for misunderstanding and hurt feelings.The key lies not
just in the content of the message,but also in the emotional intelligence of both the giver and the
receiver.
Effective constructive criticism is delivered from a place of genuine care.The receiver must feel that
the giver has their best interests at heart,not that they are being attacked or belittled.For instance,a
manager saying,"Your report was late and had errors,"is pure criticism.To make it constructive,
they could say,"I value the depth of your analysis in the report.To make it even more impactful for
the next one,let's work on ensuring it's submitted on time and we go over the data together to
catch any small errors."This approach frames the feedback around a shared goal of improvement.
For the receiver,managing one's initial emotional reaction is crucial.The natural instinct might be to
feel angry,defensive,or ashamed.However,a person with high emotional intelligence will pause,take
a deep breath,and separate the person delivering the message from the message itself.They will ty to
listen for the underlying value in the feedback,even if it is poorly delivered.They might ask clarifying
questions,such as,"Could you give me a specific example of what you mean?"This shifts the
dynamic from a confrontation to a problem-solving conversation.Ultimately,both giving and receiving
feedback are skills that require practice and self-awareness.The goal is to create a culture where
feedback is seen not as a threat,but as a gift that can help us become better versions of ourselves.
1.According to the passage,what is the main difficulty with constructive criticism?(no more than 15
words)
2.What two things does the author suggest are key to the success of constructive criticism?(no more
than 8 words)
3.How does the author suggest a receiver of criticism should handle their initial emotional reaction?
4.What is the ultimate goal of making feedback a common practice,according to the final paragraph?
5.Why does the author call feedback a "gift"(no more than 10 words)
四、短文填空
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
It is not uncommon for people to feel a sense of(1)
when they believe they have been let
down by a close friend.The feeling can be overwhelming,and the immediate reaction is often to let off
steam by complaining to others.However,this strategy can backfire,as the saying goes,"(2)
lips sink ships."Spreading negative emotions without addressing the problem directly can damage the
relationship even further.
A more (3)
approach is to resolve the issue face-to-face.Before you have the conversation,
try to (4)
your own perspective.Ask yourself:Is it your friend's fault,or is there a
misunderstanding?When you speak to your fiiend,show genuine(5)
for their feelings.
Rather than saying,"You annoyed me by being late,"try a softer approach.For example,"I felt let
down when you were late because I was worried."
During the conversation,take a deep (6)to stay calm.It's important to listen carefully to
their explanation.(7)
a conflict requires patience and a willingness to see the other person's
point of view.Sometimes,you may find that you are partly(8)
fault for the problem.
Admitting your own mistakes can go a long way in mending the relationship.
A good(9)
for maintaining fiiendships is to remember that everyone makes mistakes.
Learning to forgive and move on is crucial for personal growth.As one saying goes,"A fiiendship
that can be broken isn't a tue fiiendship,but one that can be(10)
by challenges is."

Dear Chris,
I'm sorry to hear about this situation with Tom.It must be really confusing and painful for you.I
understand how you feel;being let down by a good friend can be agony.
Perhaps your "loose lips"were at fault.Maybe you made an unintentional joke that hurt him,or he
feels you didn't listen to his concems.My advice is to not let your anger sink your fiiendship.
Instead,take a deep breath and find a calm moment to talk to him.Tell him how you feel,and show
genuine concern for his feelings.Use the strategy of asking,"Have I done something to annoy
you?"
instead of accusing him.
Adjusting your mindset is key.If the friendship is strong,a sincere apology can resolve this.I hope
you can fix things and your friendship will be even stronger.
Yours,
Li Hua
