It is said that emotional intelligence makes up 80 percent of one’s success.Ever since the 1995 publication of US writer Daniel Goleman’s best-seller, Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ, EQ has been seen by leaders and educators as the solution to many social problems. In some Western countries such as the US, emotional intelligence is now taught widely in secondary, business and medical schools.EQ is important. But our enthusiasm for it has hidden a dark side, says a recent article in The Atlantic.Recent research and studies show that as people improve their emotional skills, they become better at manipulating (操控) others. When someone knows what others are feeling, they can motivate them to act against their own best interests.Does this remind you of those “managers” at pyramid scheme (传销) companies? Hundreds of thousands of otherwise cautious and rational (理性的) people have been brainwashed by their impassioned speeches and become bankrupt as a result.Social scientists have begun to document this dark side of emotional intelligence. A study by the University of Cambridge found that when a leader gave an inspiring speech filled with emotion, the audience was less likely to look over the message and remembered less of the content.Researchers call this the “awestruck effect” (敬畏效应), but it may just as easily be described as the dumbstruck effect, says The Atlantic article. Leaders who master emotions can rob us of our ability to reason. If they have self-serving motives, or their values are out of step with our own, emotional intelligence becomes a weapon of manipulation and the results can be destroyed.Another recent study from Kyoto University shows that people with high interpersonal EQ influence others’ emotions based on their own goals.A research team led by University College London professor Martin Kilduff shed more light on this dark side of emotional intelligence. According to them, emotional intelligence helps people disguise (伪装) one set of emotions while expressing another for personal gain. Emotionally intelligent people “intentionally shape their emotions to leave favorable impressions of themselves”, Kilduff’s team writes in the journal Research in Organizational Behavior.It seems that to better understand the dark side of EQ, we need to look no further than Shakespeare’s Macbeth or its modern adaption on TV: House of Cards.39.Which of the following statements about EQ is NOT true according to the passage?A.Many westerners have a good knowledge of EQ.B.EQ plays an important role in solving social problems.C.EQ can help you read and understand emotions in yourself and others.D.If a person has a high level of EQ, he will surely succeed in everything.40.The underlined sentence in the last paragraph but one means that the research team__________.A.made clear the dark side of EQB.hid the positive side of EQC.understand the positive side of EQD.discovered the dark side of EQ41.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.Macbeth was adapted from House of Cards.B.House of Cards helps us understand the dark side of EQ better.C.The dark side of EQ is shown neither in Macbeth nor in House of Cards.D.To understand the dark side of EQ better, we’d better not refer to House of Cards and Macbeth.42.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.The dark side of EQ.B.The importance of EQ to readers.C.The definition of EQ.D.The positive and negative aspects of EQ.CWhile residents of wealthy nations tend to have greater life satisfaction, new research shows that those living in poorer nations report having greater meaning in life.These findings, published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological science, suggest that meaning in life may be higher in poorer nations as a result of greater religiosity (笃信宗教). As countries become richer, religion becomes less central to people’s lives and they lose a sense of meaning in life.“Thus far, the wealth of nations has been almost always associated with longevity, health, happiness or life satisfaction,” explains psychological scientist Shigehiro Oishi of theUniversity of Virginia. “Given that meaning in life is an important a spect of overallwell-being, we wanted to look more carefully at differential patterns, correlates (相关物), and predictors for meaning in life.”Oishi and colleague Ed Diener of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign investigated life satisfaction, meaning, and well-being by examining data from the 2007 Gallup World Poll, a large-scale survey of over 140,000 participants from 132 countries. In addition to answering a basic life satisfaction question, participants were asked: “Do you feel your life ha s an important purpose or meaning?” and “Is religion an important part of your daily life?”The data revealed some unexpected trends:“Among Americans, those who are high in life satisfaction are also high in meaning in life,” says Oishi. “But when we lo oked at the societal level of analysis, we found a completely different pattern of the association between meaning in life and life satisfaction.”When looking across many countries, Oishi and Diener found that people in wealthier nations were more educated, had fewer children, and expressed more individualistic attitudes compared to those in poorer countries – all factors that were associated with higher life satisfaction but a significantly lower sense of meaning in life.”The data suggest that religiosity may play an important role: Residents of wealthier nations, where religiosity is lower, reported less meaning in life and had higher suicide rates than poorer countries.According to the researchers, religion may provide meaning to life to the extent that it helps people to overcome personal difficulty and cope with the struggles of working to survive in poor economic conditions:“Religion gives a system that connects daily experiences with the coherent whole (连贯的整体) and a general structure to one’s life … and plays a critical role in constructing meaning out of extreme hardship,” the researchers write.Oishi and Diener hope to reproduce these findings using more comprehensive measures of meaning and religiosity, and are interested in following countries over time to track whether economic prosperity gives rise to less religiosity and less meaning in life.43.Which of the following questions couldn’t the participants have answered?A.Does your life have a purpose or meaning?B.Do you have relatives living abroad?C.Are you satisfied with your everyday life?D.Is religion involved in your daily life?44.Which of the following statements is true?A.Those who have higher life satisfaction usually have lower sense of meaning in life.B.People in wealthier nations were more educated, have fewer children and express less individualistic attitudes compared to those in poorer countries.C.Religion may provide meaning to life in that people can get strong support from it in faceof hardship.D.Wealthy people are more likely to commit suicide than poor people.45.What can be inferred from the passage?A.The poorer a country is, the more religious its people are.B.Economic prosperity gives rise to less religiosity and less meaning in life.C.If you want to find meaning in life, you must practice a religion.D.Meaning in life doesn’t have much to do with the amount of wealth one possesses.46.The main purpose of the passage is to explain the possible reason why __________.A.greater life satisfaction leads to lower sense of meaningB.residents of poorer nations enjoy greater meaning in lifeC.residents of poorer nations are so religiousD.residents of wealthy nations have greater life satisfactionDBritish writer John Bunyan was born at Elstow, Bedfordshire, England, in November, 1628. His father was a maker and mender of pots and kettles, and the son followed the same trade. Though he is usually called a tinker, Bunyan had a settled home and place of business. He had little schooling, and he describes his early surroundings as poor and mean. He became much interested in religions, but it was only after a tremendous spiritual conflict, lasting three or four years, that he found peace. His struggles are related with extraordinary vividness and inten sity in his “Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners.” His writing began with a controversy against the Quakers (教友派), and shows from the first the command of a homely but vigorous style.Like most working men at the time, Bunyan had a deep hatred for the corrupted, hypocritical rich who accumulated their wealth “by hook and by crook.” As a stout Puritan(清教徒), he had made a conscientious study of the Bible and firmly believed in salvation (拯救) through spiritual struggle.Bunyan’s style was modeled after t hat of the English Bible. With his concrete and living language and carefully observed and vividly presented details, he made it possible for the reader of the least education to share the pleasure of reading his novel and to relive the experience of his characters.Bunyan’s works include Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners (1666), The Life and Death of Mr. Badman (1680), The Holy War (1682) and The Pilgrim’s Progress (1684).The Pilgrim’s Progress is the most successful religious allegory (寓言) in the English language. Its purpose is to urge people to observe Christian doctrines and seek salvation through constant struggle with their own weaknesses and all kinds of social evils. It is not only about something spiritual but also bears much relevance to the time. Its predominant metaphor — life as a journey — is simple and familiar. The objects that Christian meets are homely and commonplace, and the scenes presented are typical English ones, but throughout the allegory a spiritual significance is added to the commonplace details. Here the strange is combined with the familiar and the trivial joined to the divine, and, a rich imagination and a natural talent for storytelling also contribute to the success of the work which is at once entertaining and morally instructive.“The Vanity Fair,” is an excerpt from The Pilgrim’s Progress. The story starts with a dream in which the author sees Christian the Pilgrim, with a heavy burden on his back, reading the Bible. When he learns from the book that the city in which he and his family live shall be burnt down in a fire, Christian tries to convince his family and his neighbors of the oncoming disaster and asks them to go with him in search of salvation, but most of them simply ignore him. So he starts off with a friend, Pliable. Pliable turns back after they stumble into a pit, the Slough of Despond. Christian struggles on by himself. Then he is misled by Mr. Wordly Wiseman and is brought back onto the right road by Mr. Evangelist. There he joins Faithful, a neighbor who has set out later but has made better progress. The two go on together through many adventures, including the great struggle with Apollyon, who claims them to be his subjects and refuse to accept their allegiance to God. After many other adventures they come to the Vanity Fair where both are arrested as alien agitators. They are tried and Faithful is condemned to death. Christian, however manages to escape and goes on his way, assisted by a new friend, Hopeful. Tired of the hard journey, they are tempted to take pleasant path andare then captured by Giant Despair. Finally they get away and reach the Celestial City, where they enjoy eternal life in the fellowship of the blessed.47.According to the passage, Bunyan hated the rich people mainly because ______.A.his father was making and mending pots and kettlesB.Bunyan had poor and mean early surroundingsC.the rich usually got their wealth in dishonest waysD.Bunyan studied the Bible to save the human souls48.What are the main characteristics o f Bunyan’s works?①The languages are concrete and living.②The stories are carefully and vividly described.③The plots are romantic and twisting.④The works are easy to understand.A.①②③B.②③④C.①③④D.①②④49.John Bunyan wrote the bo ok The Pilgrim’s Progress in order to ______.A.advise people to obey religious principles for salvationB.add spiritual significance to the commonplace detailsC.to combine the strange things with the familiar thingsD.tell people that life is a simple and familiar journey50.What moral does the story of the last paragraph convey to us?A.Any imaginable things might happen in a pilgrim’s dream.B.Christian the Pilgrim likes reading the Bible with a burden.C.People can enjoy eternal life in the fellowship of the blessed.D.People can struggle against weaknesses and evils for salvationIV、阅读填空(本大题共10小题，共10.0分)请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
