英猪四怨快速闻筱专顼体习（金备案解斩丿（一）Skimming and ScanningDirections: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1. For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked [A], [B], [C] and [D]. For question 8-10, complete the sentences with the in formation give n in the passage ・Animals on the MoveIt looked like a seene from “Jaws” but without the dramatic music. A huge shark was slowly swimming through the water, its tail swinging back and forth like the pendulum of a clock・Suddenly sensitive nerve ending in the shark， s skin picked up vibrations of a struggling fish. The shark was immediately transformed into a deadly, efficient machine of death・ With muscles taut, the shark knifed through the water at a rapid speed・ In a flash the shark caught its victim, a large fish, in its powerful jaws・ Then, jerking its head back and forth, the shark tore huge chunks of flesh from its victim and swallowed them・ Soon the action was over.Moving to SurviveIn pursui ng its prey, the shark dem on strated in a dramatic way the imports nt role of movement, or locomotion, in animals・Like the shark, most animals use movement to find food. They also use locomotion to escape en emies, find a mate, and explore new territories. The methods of locomoti on in elude crawling, hopping, slithering, flying, swimming, or walking・Humans have the added advantage of using their various inventions to move about in just about any kind of environ me nt. Automobiles, rockets, and submari nes tra nsport huma ns from deep oceans to as far away as the moon. However; for other animals movement came about naturally through millions of years of evolution. One of the most successful examples of animal locomotion is that of the shark. Its ability to quickly zero in on its prey has always impressed scientists. But it took a detailed study by Duke University marine biologists S. A・ Wainwright, F. Vosburgh, and J. H. Hebrank to find out how the sharks did it. In their study the scientists observed sharks swimming in a tank at Marine land in Saint Augustine, Fla. Movies were taken of the sharks' movements and analyzed. Studies were also made of shark skin and muscle.Skin Is the KeyThe biologists discovered that the skin of the shark is the key to the animaT s high efficiency in swimming through the water. The skin contains many fibers that crisscross like the in side of a belted radial tire・ The fibers are called collagen fibers・ These fibers can either store or release large amounts of energy depending on whether the fibers are relaxed or taut. When the fibers are stretched, energy is stored in them the way energy is stored in the string of a bow when pulled tight. When the energy is released, the fibers become relaxed.The Duke University biologists have found that the greatest stretching occurs where the shark bends its body while swimming. During the body' s back and forth motion, fibers along the outside part of the bending body stretch greatly・Much potential energy is stored in the fibers. This energy is released when the shark，s body snaps back the other way.As energy is alternately stored and released on both sides of the animaT s body, the tail whips strongly back and forth・ This whip-like action propels the animal through the water like a living bullet.Source of EnergyWhat causes the fibers to store so much energy? In finding the answer the Duke University scie ntists I ear ned that the shark，s similarity to a belted radial tire does n' t stop with the skin. Just as a radial tire is inflated by pressure, so, too, is the area just under the shark' s collagen u radials ” ・ In stead of air pressure, however, the pressure in the shark may be due to the force of the blood pressing on the collagen fibers・When the shark swims slowly, the pressure on the fibers is relatively low. The fibers are more relaxed, and the shark is able to bend its body at sharp angles. The animal swims this way when looking around for food or just swimming・ However; when the shark detects an important food source, some fantastic involuntary changes take place・The pressure inside the animal may in crease by 10 times ・ This pressure cha nge greatly stretches the fibers, enabling much energy to be stored・This energy is then transferred to the tail, and the shark is off. The rest of the story is predictable.Dolphin Has Speed RecordAnother fast marine animal is the dolphin. This seagoing mammal has been clocked at speeds of 32 kilometers (20 miles) an hour. Biologists studying the dolphin have discovered that, like the shark, the animal s efficient locomotion can be traced to its skin. A dolphin‘ s skin i s made up in such a way that it offers very little resista nee to the water flowing over it. Normally when a fish or other object moves slowly through the water, the water flows smoothly past the body. This smooth flow is known as laminar flow. However, at faster speeds the water becomes more turbulent along the moving fish・This turbulenee muses friction and slows the fish down.In a dolphin the skin is so flexible that it bends and yields to the waviness of the water. The waves, in effect, become tucked into the skin' s folds. This allows the rest of the water to move smoothly by in a laminar flow. Where other animals would be slowed by turbulent water at rapid speeds, the dolphin can race through the water at record breaking speeds・Other Animals Less EfficientNot all animals move as efficiently as sharks and dolphins. Perhaps the greatest loser in locomotion efficiency is the slug・ The slug, which looks like a snail without a shell, lays down a slimy trail over which it crawls・ It uses so much energy producing the slimy mucus and crawling over it that a mouse traveling the same distanee uses only one twelfth as much energy.Scientists say that because of the slug' s inefficient use of energy, its lifestyle must be restricted. That is, the animals are forced to confine themselves to small areas for obtaining food and finding proper living conditions. Have humans ever been faced with this kind of problem?1.According to the passage, a shark can use movement to do somethingexce pt ___________ ■[A]to find food[B]to avoid being chased by its enemies[C]to find a new place to live[D]to show its braveness2.Examples of automobiles, rockets and submarines are used to show that[AJhumans are the most clever living creatures in the world[B]human inventions enable us to travel in almost any kind of environment[CJhumans are very successful in inventing transportation tools[D]humans can，t move like other animals in any circumstances3.What is the key to the shark" s swift locomotion in water?[A]The skin. [B]The tail. [C]The muscle. [D]The jaw.4.According to the Duke University scientists, when does the shark stretch its collagen fibers to the greatest extent?[A]When moving its tail rapidly.[B]When finding its preys.[C]When staying without any movement・[D]When bending its body in swimming.5.Why is the area just under the shark' s collagen fibers similar to a belted radial tire?[A]Because it is also full of blood pressure.[B]Because it is also filled of air pressure・[C]Because it is also inflated by pressure.[D]Because it also can be used again and again.6.A laminar flow is formed when a fish swims _________________ ・[AJslowly through the water[B]rapidly through the water[C]against the current [D]at the fastest speed in water7・Consuming the equal amount of energy as a slug does, a mouse can travel ____________ as long as a slug.[A]one twelfth times[B]the same[C]12 times[D]1.2 times8.A shark finds its prey by ________________ .9.According to the passage, ________________ can be compared to the string of a bow for both of them store energy when stretched.10.When the shark detects an important food source, _____________________________ take place.(二)Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1・ For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked E A I, I B 3, I C I and IDa. For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.About Story ReaderParents dearly hope their children learn to read well. They also hope their children learn to read quickly and easily, so that they，re ready for the dema nds put on them by school and the world.Kids want to learn how to read, but they also crave entertainment, whether it' s quiet and passive or dynamic and interactive. The aims of the Story Reader line of electronic books are to entertain children and to introduce them to the processof learning how to read in a gentle and enjoyable way・ In this article, we? II show you how Story Reader works and if it accomplishes that goal.Story Reader is a compact, roughly 12-inch-by-12-inch plastic case (with a carrying handle ) that ope ns to reveal an actual book that fits sn ugly into the Reader itself. Story Reader" s core feature is that it ''reads11 the book aloud to a child as he follows along. The child turns the pages when prompted by the Story Reader or at his own pace.Books have both text and illustrations. The electronic book responds to the child' s wishes. The Story Reader speaks the text for the curre nt page .If the child tur ns back a few pages, the Reader recog nizes that page and reads it agai n. Kids react well to this in teractivity because it in stills a sense of cun trol over the story ・There are Three Story Reader ProductsThe basic Story Reader, introduced in 2003, is as described above and is in tended for kids three years of age and older.Each book has a small companion cartridge that slides into a port on the case and contains the audio encoded into its memory for the story.The device has a volume control but no on/off switch-a deliberate choice so kids can simply open it up and begin reading. It takes four AAA batteries (or operates on household current with an optional adaptor) and retails for around $20.Find out more information about the more than 60 titles at the Story Reader website・Early in 2006, Publications In ter national, Ltd.-Story Reader s publisher-i ntroduced My First Story Reader, designed for newborns to kids up to age three. As with the original, a narrator reads the story aloud, this time from a 12-page book made from a heavier paperstock that in eludes sound effects and music to en live n the experie nee.My First Story Reader features two play modes, one with narration, the other that asks questions about the images on each page・ The child can press any of three buttons to answer basic questions about shapes and colors. The last two pages ofeach My First Story Reader book features a sing-along rhyming melody. My First Story Reader retails for about $20.Late in 2006, Publications In ter natio nal in troduced a video versio n of Story Reader called Story Reader Video Plus for kids up to the age of seven. Retailing for about $35, it combines a stand・alone Story Reader with an "Animated Story Mode11that plays through your televisi on and in eludes a H Lear ning Game Mode11.The Animated Story Mode works just as it sounds-when you connect it to your television throughcolor-coded cables, the story appears on screen and changes as your child turns the pages. Kids get to the Learning Game Mode by turning to thelast page of the book・ There, they can choose from five educational games・ While it depends on the story, gen erally there are patter n games, memory games, and platform games ・ Similar to Ninte ndo games like Super Mario Brothers, in a platform game the child uses the in eluded controller to guide him through the environment and conquer obstacles・Story Reader Video Plus isn' t a video game, tech nically, and Publications In ter national bills the Story Reader line more as electronic books than toys. This reassures many parents, and it' s why Story Reader is sold in bookstores and in the book section of major retailers・What about the Educational Underpinnings of Story Reader?Studies show an alarming decline in reading rates among all age groups in America, especially among the young.Children are bombarded on a daily basis with multiple forms of entertainment that compete with traditional learning.Kids naturally emulate the adults in their lives, and seeing their parents and other family members enjoy reading is a powerful motivator. Establishing and keeping a Read-At-Home Night helps families spend time together and helps form lifelong reading habits in children.Here' s how you do it:•Set aside one night a week in your household and call it M Read-At-Home Hour H-or anything you prefer. Establish a time allotment that works for your family, for example, 30 minutes or an hour.•Minimize interruptions from the TV, computer, and video games-and turn on the telephone answering machine・•Choose one book for the en tire family to read aloud together, or en courage in dividual family members to choose their own books to read quietly・ Electronic books can work in this con text, as well.•Fin ally, sit down, relax, and read ・1.The aims of the Story Reader line of electronic books are _[A]to entertain and teach children[B]to play with the child[C]to ease the parents' burden[D]to ease the teachers， burden2.Story Reader" s key characteristic is that _[A]it "reads" the book which the child likes[B]it "reads" the book while the child plays[C]it "reads" the book while the child follows along[D]it "reads" the book while the parent works3.Children _ are suitable users of the basic Story Reader.[A]up to six mon ths old[B]up to age one[C]up to age two[D]up to age three4.The basic Story Reader for sale is about _[A]12 dollars[B]20 dollars[C]35 dollars[D]60 dollars5・ My First Story Reader is characteristic with[A]two play modes[B]three play modes[C]four play modes[D]five play modes6.Story Reader Video Plus is a video version of Story Reader designed for _[A]newborns to kids up to age three[B]newborns to kids up to age seven[C]children up to the age of five[D]children up to the age of seven7.How many games can children choose from the Animated Story Mode?[A]four[B]five[C]six[D]seven8.If the Story Reader speaks the text for the current page, but the child turns back a few pages, it will ___________te in 2006, we can infer that there were Story Reader products ____________ .10.Like Super Mario Brothers, children in a platform game use the included controllers(三)Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes)Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1. For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked [A], [B], [ C ]and [D]> For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.The Right Amount of EnergyWe all enjoy being aro und people with en ergy ・ They in spire us. They are stimulati ng, fun, and uplifting. An energetic person has passion in his voice, a bounce in his step, and a smile on his face・Energy makes a person likable, and likability is akey ingredient in persuasive communications. Many business professionals underestimate the energy level required to gen erate enthusiasm among their liste ners ・ But electrifyi ng speakers bring it. They have an energy that is several levels higher than the people they are attempt!ng to in fluence.Most business professionals could use an energy boost for public speaking situations such as Webi nars, podcasts, staff meeti ngs, con fere nee calls, and televisi on and radio interviews. Each of these opportunities requires a higher level of energythan would n ormally be appropriate if you were just chatti ng to some one in the hallway. But how do you project the right level of vigor without seeming over the top? By weighing yourself on an energy scale. And on this scale, more is better.The Energy ScaleRecently I helped an executive prepare for his first major presentation in his new role・"Tell me where your energy is right now on a scale of one to ten/ I asked・"One being fast asleep and ten being Jim Cramer on Mad Money. You know, the guy who' s yelling and gesturing wildly on his CNBC show. Where are you now?HH A three/* the speaker replied.H OK, what would it feel like to be a seven, eight or nine? Give it a try,111 suggested.If they5 re being honest, most presenters place themselves at a three to six on the energy scale・That means there is plenty of room to boost your energy while not appearing too zany・ But keep in mind, once you hit a ten or higher, you could be the next YouTube (GOOG) hit-which is not necessarily your top objective! Here are several surefire strategies to boost your energy presence.1.Practice leaving your comfort zone.Record several minutes of your presentation as you would normally deliver it: Play it back, preferably with some one else watching and liste ning as well- Ask yourself and the observer, where am I on the energy scale? Now try it again. This time,break out of your comfort zone. Ham it up. Raise your voice・ Use big gestures. Put a big smile on your face・ Get to a point where you would feel slightly awkward and uncomfortable. Now watch it. Most likely your energy level will be far more engaging and still remain appropriate fur the situation.2.Smile and have fun.Why do most people seem to enjoy Virgin entrepreneur Richard Branson? Because the guy has fun and it shows・ He always has a warm, engaging smile on his face. Of course, you can argue that it" s easy to walk aro und with a smile when you' re worth $4 billi on! But seriously, smile .It won，t hurt and it will make you more likable. Most business professionals don' t smile as much as they should during presentations. r m helping some executives prepare for CES, the big Consumer Electronics Show inJanuary where they will announce new products・ They get so caught up in the slides and what they' re going to say ( as they should during preparation ), they forget that new products bring joy to their consumers・ In most cases-with the exception of bad news, of course-the first and last thing you say to yourself before launching into your presentation should be, “Have3・ Get your body moving.Many people are uncomfortable using expansive hand gestures. Don? t be. I spoke to David McNeill at the University of Chicago, who is known for his research into gesture and speech・ He says that clear, con fide nt speakers use hand gestures and that the gestures leave a positive impression on listeners・He went on to say that using gestures will help you speak better because for most of us it takes effort not to use gestures・Don，t be afraid of using your hands.AOL' s (TWX) is one of my favorite video search engines・ I use it to retrieve clips of business speakers to study their body Ianguage. Symantec' s (SYMC) John Thompson, Oracle' s (ORCL) Larry Ellison, Cisco' s (CSCO) John Chambers, and eBay' s (EBAY) Meg Whitman are excellent examples of people with con fident, en ergetic body Ian guage.4.Study TV and radio personalities.Stars of television and radio who score high on the likability scale have high-energy personalities ・ I had a conversation with Suze Orman over the phone a couple of years ago and remember it to this day. Her energy comes right through the speaker. What you see on her CNBC show is what you get behind the seenes. High energy・ The other day I watched Food Network (SSP) star Rachael Ray sign books at a mall where I happened to be shopping・Sometimes critics poke fun at her M perky M personality and phrases like "yum-o/ but the fact is she has energy and millions of viewers enjoy it. The networkmorning-show hosts are typically chosen for their energetic personalities・ Today s Matt Lauer on NBC (GE) and The EarlyShow, s Julie Chen on CBS (CBS) are excellent examples, but there are many others on morning television.Remember, maintaining an energetic presenee is very difficult to do unless you' re involved with somethi ng you enjoy. If you are truly passi on ate about your compa ny, product, or service, then show it. Speak with energy and vitality. Your listenerswill love you for it.1.From the first paragraph, what is a key point in persuasive communication?[A]Stimulation.[B]Uplitting.[C]Fun.[D]Likability.2.Have an en ergy several levels higher tha n the people they are attempt! ng to in fluence ・[A]Electrifying speakers[B]Business professionals[C]Und.vnamic persons[D]Listeners3.How do people show the right level of energy without seeming over the top' ?[A]By underestimating the energy level.[B]By undervaluing the energy level.[C]By estimating an energy scale・[D]By using a lower level of energy・4.The scale of the energy is[A]seven, eight or nine[B]ten or higher[C]three to six[D]one to ten5.What does the example mean in the third paragraph?[A]There is little room to boost your energy while not appeanng too zany.[B]There is a little room to boost your energy while not appearing too zany.[C]There is much room to boost your energy while not appearing too zany.[D]There is no room to boost your energy while not appearing too zany.6.Why is Virgi n en trepre neur Richard Brans on popular?[A]Because he has fun and it shows・[B]Because he doesn' t smile as much as he should during presentations・[C]Because he is very humorous・[D]Because he is famous.7.David McNeill says that con fide nt speakers use _[A]hand gestures[B]speech[C]smile[D]expression8.1 use AOL' s (TWX) to retrieve clips of business speakers to _____________9.Stars of television and radio who score high on the lik ability scale have ____________10.Maintaining an energetic presenee is very difficult to do unless ___________（四）The EarthPower and LightCompared to the rest of the universe, the Earth is very small. Our planet and seven others orbit the Sun, which is only one of about 200 billion stars in our galaxy. Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is part of the un iverse, which in eludes millions of othergalaxies and their stars and planets・ By comparison, the Earth is microscopic・Compared to a pers on, on the other hand, the Earth is en ormous .It has a diameter of 7,926 miles ( 12,756 kilometers) at the equator; and it has a mass of about 6 x 1024 kilograms・ The Earth orbits the Sun at a speed of about 66,638 miles per hour (29.79 kilometers per second)・ Don' t dwell on those nu mbers too long, though; to a lot of people, the Earth is in conceivably, mind-bogglingly big. And it? s just a fraction of the size of the Sun.From our perspective on Earth, the Sun looks very small・ This is because it' s about 93 million miles away from us. The Sun， s diameter at its equator is about 100 times bigger than Earth' s, and about a milli on Earths could fit in side the Sun. TheSun is inconceivably, mind-bogglingly bigger.But without the Sun, the Earth could not exist .In a sen se, the Earth is a giant machi n 巳full of moving parts and complex systems. All those systems need power, and that power comes from the Sun.The Sun is an enormous nuclear power source-through complex reactions, it transforms hydrogen into helium, releasing light and heat・ Because of these reactions, every square meter of our planet s surface gets about 342 Watts of energy from the Sun every year. This is about 1.7 ~ 1017 Watts total, or as much as 1.7 billion large power plants could generate・ You can learn about how the Sun creates energy in How the Sun Works.When this energy reaches the Earth, it provides power for a variety of reactions, cycles and systems .It drives the circulati on of the atmosphere and the ocea ns. It makes food for plants, which many people and animals eat・ Life on Earth could not exist without the Sun, and the planet itself would not have developed without it.To a casual observer; the Sun' s most visible contributions to life are light, heat and weather.Night and DaySome of the Sun' s biggest impacts on our planet are also its most obvious. As the Earth spins on its axis, parts of the planet are in the Sun while others are in the shade .In other words, the Sun appears to rise and set・The parts of the world that are in daylight get warmer while the parts that are dark gradually lose the heat they absorbed during the day・You can get a sense of how much the Sun affects the Earth' s temperature by standing outside on a partly cloudy day.When the Sun is behind a cloud, you feel noticeably cooler than when it isn' t・ The surface of our planet absorbs this heat from the Sun and emits it the same way that pavement continues to give off heat in the summer after the Sun goes down. Ouratmosphere does the same thing-it absorbs the heat that the ground emits and sends some of it back to the Earth.The Earth9 s relationship with the Sun also creates seasons・ The Earth? s axis tips a little-about 23.5 degrees. One hemisphere points toward the Sun as the other points away・ The hemisphere thatpoints toward the Sun is warmer and gets more light-it，s summer there, and in the other hemisphere it/ s win ter. This effect is less dramatic n ear the equator tha n at the poles, since the equator receives about the same amount of sun light all year. The poles, on the other hand, receive no sun light at all duri ng their win ter mon ths z which is part of the reason why they' re froze n.Most people are so used to the differences between night and day (or summer and winter) that they take them for granted・But these changes in light and temperature have an enormous impact on other systems on our planet. One is the circulation of air through our atmosphere. For example:The Sun shines brightly over the equator. The air gets very warm because the equator faces the Sun directly and because the ozone layer is thinner there.As the air warms, it begins to rise, creating a low pressure system. The higher it rises, the more the air cools・ Water condenses as the air cools, creating clouds and rainfall. The air dries out as the rain falls・ The result is warm, dry air, relatively high in our atmosphere・Because of the lower air pressure, air rushes toward the equator from the north and south・ As it warms, it rises, pushing the dry air away to the north and the south.The dry air sinks as it cools, creating high-pressure areas and deserts to the north and south of the equator.This is just one piece of how the Sun circulates air around the world-ocean currents, weather patter ns and other factors also play a part. But in gen eral, air moves from high-pressure to low-pressure areas, much the way that high-pressure air rushes from the mouth of an inflated ballo on whe n you let go. Heat also gen erally moves from the warmer equator to the cooler poles ・Imagine a warm drink sitting on your desk-the air around the drink gets warmer as the drink gets colder. This happens on Earth on an enormous scale・The Coriolis Effect, a product of the Earth' s rotation, affects this system as well. It causes large weather systems, like hurricanes z to rotate. It helps create westward-running trade winds near the equator and eastward-running jet streams in the northem and southern hemispheres・These wind patter ns move moisture and air from one place to ano ther, creating weather patterns. (The Coriolis Effect works on a large scale-it doesn' t really affect the water draining from the sink like some people suppose・)The Sun gets much of the credit for creating both wind and rain. When the Sun warms air in a specific location, that air rises, creating an area of low pressure. More air rushes in from surrounding areas to fill the void, creating wind. Without the Sun, there wouldn' t be wind. There also might not be breathable air at all.Water and FireThe Sun has a huge effecton our water. It warms the oceans around the tropics, and its absence cools the water around the poles・ Because of this, ocean currents move large amounts of warm and cold water, drastically affecting the weather andclimate around the world. The Sun also drives the water cycle, which moves about 18,757 cubic miles (495,000 cubic kilometers) of water vapor through the atmosphere every year.If you' ve ever gotten out of a swimming pool on a hot day and realized a few minutes later that you were dry again, you have firsthand experienee with evaporation. If you， ve seen water form on the side of a cold drink, you' ve seen condensation inaction. These are primary components of the water cycle, also called the hydrologic cycle, which。

【线索定位】由题干中的energy crisis in America定位到首段首句：There’s an energy crisis in America，and it has nothing to do with fossil fuels．【答案详解】N)。

本题考查文中energy crisis的指代含义。

文章首句明确指出此处讨论的energy crisis与fossil fuels(矿物燃料)并无关系，因此题干表述错误。

it has nothing to do with sth．意为“与……无关"。

2．People these days tend to lack physical energy．【题干译文】如今人们往往缺乏体能。

【线索定位】1由题干中的lack physical energy定位到首段第四句：But it’s not physical energy that most ofus lack．【答案详解】N)。

首段第二、三句中提到人们一早醒来就倦怠不堪的普遍现象，但紧接着指出其实大多数人缺乏的并不是physical energy，这明显与题干tend to lack physical energy不符，故题干表述错误。

3．Laura Hillenbrand is an example cited to show how emotional energy can contribute to one’s success in life．【题干译文】引用的劳拉·希伦布兰迪的例子是为了表明精神力量如何促成一个人的成功。

For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked [A], [B], [C] and [D]. For question 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage. Animals on the Move It looked like a scene from Jaws but without the dramatic music. A huge shark was slowly swimming through the water, its tail swinging back and forth like the pendulum of a clock. Suddenly sensitive nerve ending in the sharks skin picked up vibrations of a struggling fish. The shark was immediately transformed into a deadly, efficient machine of death. With muscles taut, the shark knifed through the water at a rapid speed. In a flash the shark caught its victim, a large fish, in its powerful jaws. Then, jerking its head back and forth, the shark tore huge chunks of flesh from its victim and swallowed them. Soon the action was over. Moving to Survive In pursuing its prey, the shark demonstrated in a dramatic way the important role of movement, or locomotion, in animals. Like the shark, most animals use movement to find food. They1 / 2also use locomotion to escape enemies, find a mate, and explore new territories. The methods of locomotion include crawling, hopping, slithering, flying, swimming, or walking. Humans have the added advantage of using their various inventions to move about in just about any kind of environment. Automobiles, rockets, and submarines transport humans from deep oceans to as far away as the moon. However, for other animals movement came about naturally through millions of years of evolution. One of the most successful examples of animal locomotion is that of the shark. Its ability to quickly zero in on its prey has always impressed scientists. But it took a detailed study by Duke University marine biologists S. A. Wainwright, F. Vosburgh, and J. H. Hebrank to find out how the sharks did it. ...。

Computer CrimeA computer crime is generally defined as one that involves the use of computers and software for illegal purposes. This doesn’t mean that all the crimes are new types of crime. On the contrary, many of these crimes, such as embezzlement of funds, the alteration of records, theft, vandalism, sabotage, and terrorism, can be committed without a computer. But with a computer, these offenses can be carried out more quickly and with less chance that the person responsible for the crime will be discovered.Computer crimes are on the rise and have been for the last twelve years. Just how much these computer crimes cost the American public is in dispute, but estimates range from$3 billion to$5 billion annually. Even the FBI, which attempts to keep track of the growth or decline of all kinds of crimes, is unable to say precisely how large a loss is involved; however, it estimates that the average take from a company hit by computer crime is $600,000. A number of reasons are given for the increase in computer crime: (a)more computers in use and, thus, more people who are familiar with basic computer operation; (b)more computers tied together in satellite and other data—transmission networks; and (c)the easy access of microcomputers to huge mainframe data bases.The CriminalMovies and newspaper stories might lead us to believe that most computer crimes are committed by teenage “hackers”—brilliant and basically good children who let their imagination and technical genius get them into trouble. But a realistic look at the crimes reveals that the offender is likely to be an employee of the firm against which the crime has been committed, i.e., an “insider”.Difficulty of Detection and PreventionGiven the kind of person who commits a computer crime and the environment in which the crime occurs, it is often difficult to detect who the criminal is. First of all, the crime may be so complex that months or years go by before anyone discovers it.Second, once the crime has been revealed, it is not easy to find a clear trail of evidence that leads back to the guilty party. After all, looking for “weapons”or fingerprints does not occur as it might in the investigation of more conventional crimes.Third, there are usually no witnesses to the computer crime, even though it may be taking place in a room filled with people. Who is to say if the person at the next terminal, calmly keying in data, is doing the company’s work or committing a criminal act?Fourth, not enough people in management and law enforcement know enough about computer technology to prevent the crimes. Authorities have to be familiar with the computer’s capabilities within a given situation to guard against its misuses. In some large cities, such as Los Angeles, police departments have set up specially trained computer crime units.But even when an offender is caught, the investigators, attorneys (律师), judges, or juries may find the alleged crime too complicated and perplexing to handle. More attorneys are specializing in computer law and studying the computer’s potential for misuse.After a computer crime has been discovered, many companies do not report it or prosecute (起诉)the person responsible. A company may not announce the crime out of fear that the pubic will find out the weaknesses of itscomputer system and lose confidence in its organization. Banks, credit card companies, and investment firms are especially sensitive about revealing their vulnerabilities (脆弱性)because they rely heavily on customer trust.To avoid public attention, cautious companies will often settle cases of computer tampering out of court. And if cases do go to trial and the offenders are convicted, they may be punished only by a fine or light sentence because the judge or jury isn’t fully trained to understand the nature and seriousness of the crime.Not all companies are timid in apprehending computer criminals. For example, Connecticut General Life Insurance Company decided it had to get tough on violators. So when the company discovered that one of its computer technicians had embezzled $200,000 by entering false benefit claims, it presented its findings to the state’s attorney and aided in the prosecution of the technician. The technician was found guilty and sentenced to prison, not just for the computer misuse, but also for grand theft and insurance fraud. Connecticut General now has a policy of reporting all incidents of theft or fraud, no matter how small.提示:在实考试卷中，8~10题在答题卡1上。

Unit 41.Directions: Read the following passages, and then select the best choice for each ofthe questions or incomplete statements.Passage 1There are stock markets in large cities in many countries. Stock markets in Paris, London, Tokyo, Shanghai and New York are among the largest and most well-known. The stock market, also called stock exchange, is a place where people can buy or sell the shares of a factory of company. And each share means part ownership of a factory or company.Different people go to the stock markets. Some are rich, who want to get more money than they have. Others are not very rich, who buy stocks to try to become rich. Still others buy stocks as part of their plan to save money.Of course, investing （投资）money in the stock market is not the safest way to make money. No one can tell exactly whether the shares will be doing well. The factory or company may do badly. Then the stocks will go down, and the investors will lose money. The stock may go up or down for a number of untold reasons. Everyone wants the stock to go up, but sometimes even if a factory or company does a good job, the stock may still go down.No wonder going to the stock market is often compared to gambling (赌博). All are eager to make money by “gambling” in the stock market. Factories and companies that need money are pleased that so many people are willing to “gamble.” Indeed, the stock market is an attractive and complex part of the business world.(Words: 244)1. The following people go to the stock market EXPCEPT those whoA) want to become richerB) want to get rid of povertyC) want to save moneyD) want to find jobs2. Which of the following statements is true?A) A good investor can affect the change in stock prices.B) A good investor can tell exactly when the stock goes up or down.C) A good investor will sometimes lose money.D) A good investor knows how to choose a company which does a good job.3. In the passage the writer .A) encourage people to go to the stock marketB) assures people that buying stock is a good investmentC) warns people to be careful in buying stocksD) explains how stock goes up when factories or companies run well4. The word “ complex” in the last sentence probably means .A) completeB) strangeC) difficultD) modern5. The passage mainly tells us aboutA) the ABCs of stock marketsB) gambling in stock marketsC) how to make money in stock marketsD) how to buy or sell shares in stock marketsPassage 2She is widely seen as proof that good looks can last forever. But, at nearly 500 years of age, time is catching up with the Mona Lisa.The health of the famous picture, painted by Leonardo da Vinci in 1505, is getting worse by the year, according to the Louvre Museum where it is housed.“The thin, wooden pan el on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago.” The museum said. Visitors have noticed changes but repairing the world’s most famous painting is not easy. Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their present chemical state.Nearly six million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year, many attracted by the mystery of her smile. “It is very interesting that when you’re not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then yo u look at her and she stops,” said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University. “It’s because direct vision （视觉）is excellent at picking up detail, but less suited to looking at shadows. Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows.”Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him, until it was eventually sold to France’s King Francis I in 1519.During World War II, French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces.Like many old ladies, the Mona Lisa has some interesting stories to tell.(Words: 247)1.In the first paragraph, “catching up with” meansA)coming up with behindB)having effect onC)making up forD)getting along with2.It is difficult to repair this painting due to itsA)painting materialsB)wooden panelC)long historyD)good name3.Mona Lisa is smiling you lookA)at herB)from the corners of your eyesC)into the shadowsD)for details4.Para. 4 is mainly aboutA)the history of the Mona LisaB)the condition of the Mona LisaC)the secret of Mona Lisa’s smileD)the secret of Mona Lisa’s beauty5.During World War II the famous painting was inA)ItalyB)FranceC)BritainD)GermanyII. Directions:Read the following passages, and then fill in the blanks with the missing information.Passage 3Body language is one of the best ways to find out what is really going on inside someone’s head.A small movement of the mouth or nose, or a wink of the eye—these actions can say much more about a person’s feeling than anything they say to you.But you need to be very experienced to fully understand what you see. Here are some basic movements made by Westerners and explanations of what they mean to get you started.Pat （轻拍）/rub(摩擦)one’s stomach. If someone rubs his or her stomach, he is not feeling sick. It is the opposite—he is hungry.Shrug（耸）one’s shoulders. This means “I don’t know” or “I am not bothered.” If your friend shrugs his or her shoulders when invited to a party, it shows he or she is not very interested in going along to it.Keep one’s fingers crossed. It is a gesture to wish for good luck. Before people take exams, they often cross their fingers in the hope of getting good grades. Football fans do the same thing when their favorite team gets an advantage from a penalty(点球)—they wish the players will score a goal.Rub one’s chin. If someone rubs his or her chin, it often means he or she doesn’t believe what someone else is saying! So if your friend makes this gesture, it secretly tells you what he or she feels.Scratch (挠)one’s head. If your foreign English teacher scratches his or her head when you ask a question, then he or she is confused and might not have understood what you have said. Either that, or he or she can’t remember your name!(Words: 277)1. We can know more about a person’s feelings by .2. When a Westerner rubs his or her stomach, it means .3. When taking exams, Westerners may cross their fingers to .4. If your friends rub their chin, it may mean that .5. “To scratch one’s head” suggests the person doesn’t understand your words or.Passage 4If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then stalk off without paying your fare. And the driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.The dinning rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guest, but also cater to outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to wine and dine free of charge.The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages.” But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would invariably come back to pay their fare after they have attended their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. as the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, so to live in such a society has turned ev eryone into real “gentlemen”.(Words: 311)1. While taking a taxi in Finland, you can get off without first .2. In a big hotel in Finland, you can enjoy free meals if.3. We know from the passage that big hotels in Finland.4. Workers in Finland just need to tell their employersto get their pay.5. The passage leads us to believing that Finland is a society of.III. Directions: Read the following passages, and then decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F)Passage 5“Fire! Fire!” What terrible words to hear when one wakes up in a strange house in the middle of the night! It was a large, old, wooden house and my room was on the top floor. I jumped out of bed, opened the door and stepped out into the passage. It was full of thick smoke.I began to run. But as I was still only half-awake, instead of going towards the stairs I went in the opposite direction. The smoke grew thicker and I could see fire all around.I found an open door and ran into a room to get to the window. But before I could reach it, one of my feet was caught in something soft and I fell down. The thing I had fallen over felt like a bundle of clothes, and I picked it up to protect my face from the smoke and heat. Just then the floor gave way under me and I fell to the floor below with pieces of burning wood all around me.I saw a flaming doorway in front, and I put the bundle over my face and ran. My feet were burning terribly, but I got through. As I reached the cold air outside, my bundle of clothes gave a thin cry. I nearly dropped it in surprise. Then is saw a crowd gathered in the street. A woman in a night-dress and a borrowed man’s coat screamed as she saw me and came running madly.“My baby! My baby!” she cried. The crowed cheered wildly as she took the smoke-blackened bundle out of my arms. I had saved her baby. I was a hero!(Words: 277)( ) 1. I was on the top floor of a small house when the fire broke out.( ) 2. The thick smoke made me run in the wrong direction.( ) 3. I fell to the floor below because the floor under me was burned.( ) 4. I was trying to save myself but I actually also saved my next door ne ighbor’s baby.( ) 5. It can be learned from the passage that I became a hero by chance.Passage 6It seems you always forget—your reading glasses when you are rushing to work, your coat when you are going to the cleaners, your credit card when you are shopping. Such absent-mindedness may be frustrating to you. Now British and German scientists are developing memory glasses that record everything the user sees. The glasses can play back memories later to help the wearer remember things they have forgotten such as where they left their keys. And the glasses also allow the user to “label(贴标签于，标注)” items so information can be used later on.The wearer could walk around an office or a factory identifying certain items by pointing at them. Objects indicated( 指出)are then given a blank label on a screen inside the glasses that the user then fills in.It could be used in industrial plants by mechanics looking to identify machine parts or by electricians writing a complicated device. A spokesman for the project said: “A car mechanic, for example, could find at a glance where a part on a certain car model is wrong so that it can be identified and repaired.” For the motorist, the system can highlight(使显著)dangers on the road.In other cases, the glasses can be worn by people going on a guided tour, indicating points of interest; or they can be worn by people looking at panoramas where all the sites can be identified.(Words: 231) ( ) 1. An absent-minded person is easy to forget.( ) 2. Memory glasses can remind users of what they have forgotten.( ) 3. If you are wearing the memory glasses, it means you have a bad memory. ( ) 4. Para. 4 talks about the problem-finding use of memory glasses.( ) 5. By wearing memory glasses, people will find places of interest more easily.KeyUnit 4Passage 1D C C C A Passage 2B A BC B Passage 31. observing his or her body language2. he or she is hungry3. wish for good grades4. they doubt what you are saying5. has forgotten your namePassage 41.paying your fare2.you are living in the hotel3.provide meals to any diners4.how many hours they have worked5.high moral levelPassage 5F F T F T Passage 6F T F T T。

(请将答案填涂于“答题卡”21~25)The Key to Wealth Is Being Satistified with What You Already HaveFor the past few weeks, I‟ve been making calls with David, who would replace me at the factory. We‟re visiting existing customers to explain the transition.Most of my clients know that I‟m part-owner in the family business. “Why are you leaving?” they want to know. “What are you going to do now?”“I‟m going to write,” I say.“About what?” some of them ask.“Personal finance,”(个人理财) I say, and that‟s usually the end of the conversation. But this morning my answer started a great discussion with a long-time customer named Ray.“I was going to get into personal finance at one time,” said Ray. “Toomany money guys are slimeballs(讨厌鬼) They‟re stupid. They take advantage of little old ladies. I wanted to help the little old ladies. I was going to become a Financial Planner. ”We also talked about the bad situation about our economy and we know lots of people lost their jobs and led a terrible life. He wants to warm everyone. “Get out of debt!” he tells them. “Spend less! Save your money!”“I talk about money a lot,” Ray confessed. “My son is afraid to bring his friends over to the house. …Your dad is going to talk finances again,‟ th ey tell him. And I do.”“…Do you invest in your 401(k)(美国养老保险计划，即年轻时存钱养老)?‟ I ask them. …No,‟ they say. …Then you‟re an idiot,‟ I tell them. They can‟t believe it. …Your dad just called me an idiot,‟ they say to my son. …You are an idiot,‟ he tells them.”Ray laughed. “Some of my own friends wonder what I coul d possibly know about money. I live in a small house. I drive a beat-up old car. They drive new cars and live in large and beautiful house. They don‟t think I know what I‟m talking about. They don‟t understand that the key to wealth is being satisfied with what you already have.”I agreed as Ray continued: “…I‟ve lived in the same house for 28 years,‟ I say to my friends. …My house is paid for. Is yours? My car is paid for. Is yours? I could retire today. Could you?‟ I don‟t have a boat, I don‟t havean RV, and I don‟t have fashionable clothes,” Ray said. “I save my money.I invest it. That‟s the way to wealth.”Normally when I visit customers, we only talk about money. It was exciting for me to find somebody so concerned about saving, somebody who understood the impoortance of personal finance. But one point stuck out especially: “The key to wealth is being satisfied with what you already have,” said Ray. He‟s right.I used to believe that “wealth” meant being able to buy whatever I wanted. I felt rich if I could buy something new, even if I were purchasing it on credit. I felt wealthy if I could travel around the world with all those who I love. Over the past few years, however, I‟ve learned to take pleasure in the things I already own. Why do I need more comic books (连环画)when I already have a large library of them? Why do I need to own another bike? What will a new chair do for me that my existing chair does not? If anything, I want less stuff.Like Ray, I‟ve discovered that wealth doesn‟t come from buying new things, but from being satisfied with what I already have. Now I am much happier than ever before and try to tell others about the importance of satisfaction.1.David would replace me at the factory , for I was going to retire .NG2.After I stopped working in the family business, I decide to write aboutpersonal finances Y3.Those who have a large amount of money cheat little old ladies Y4.Ray wants to encourage people to use tomorrow's money today N5.My son is glad to bring his friends home ,since I talk money a lot with them N6.As my conversations with others often center around money or finances ,some of my friends think that I´m an expert at it N7.Despite the fact that my friends live in mansions and drive fancy cars ,they don‟t grasp ,the notion that the key to wealth is being satisfied with what you already haveY8.I´m excited to learn that someone is interested in saving and aware of the significance of personal finance.9.I used to believe that “wealth ”meant being able to buy whatever I wanted .but now I enjoy what I already own /have第五单元Passage2Directions:In this part, you should go over the passage quickly and answer the following questions. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on theAnswer Sheet with a single line through the center. (请将答案填涂于“答题卡”21~25)Your algebra(代数) teacher wears clothes from 1985 and always mispronounces(读错) your name. Your English teacher loves to start classes with pop quizzes. It can be hard to think of them as real people. But they eat pizza and watch movies, just like you.So how can you get along with your teachers? Here are some tips.Why Work on Good Relationships with Teachers?A good relationship with a teacher today may help you in the future. You will need teacher‟s written recommendations to apply to a college or for a job after high school.Teachers know about grants and scholarships. And they may often appoint students to student offices or recommend students as volunteers for special community programs. All of these activities can help you get into college or get a good job.Teachers are another group of adults in your life who can look out for you, guide you, and provide you with an adult perspective. Many are willing to answer questions, offer advice, and help with personal problems.Developing Good Teacher-Student RelationshipsYou can do lots of things to achieve a good relationship with your teacher. First, do the obvious stuff: show up for class on time, with all assignments completed. Be alert, be respectful, and ask questions.Show an interest in the subject and show the teacher that you care and you are a dedicated student.You can also schedule a private conference during a teacher's free period. Use this time to get extra help, ask questions, inquire about a career in the subject, or talk about your progress in class. You may be surprised to learn that your teacher is a bit more relaxed one-on-one than when lecturing in front of the whole class.It is possible to try too hard, though. Here are some things to avoid when trying to establish a relationship with your teacher: not being sincere, trying to be teacher's pet andgiving costly gifts.Common Teacher-Student ProblemsIf you're having problems with a teacher, try to figure out why.If you don‟t like the subject being taught, it might be help ful to think of classes as stepping stones toward a bigger goal, like getting a diploma. Simply try to find the practical value in classes you don‟t like.If you find a subject hard, talk to your teacher about extra tutoring. If you find it boring, talk to your teacher about ways to see the subject in a different light. Ian constantly fell asleep in his second year‟s history class because the past seemed so removed from reality. But things changed after the teacher talked to Ian and found out that his great-grandfather had fought in World War II. The teacher suggested Ian use his great-grandfather's letters in his project. Not only did Ian get an A, he also learned a lot about a family member he barely remembered from childhood.What if you just don't like the teacher? Personality can come into play. People naturally just get along better with some people than with others — it's impossible to like everyone all the time.Common courtesy and respect are basic requirements of any relationship. You don't have to like your teacher or agree with what he or she says, but it is necessary to be polite. If you need to be out of school for medical or other reasons, let your teacher know. And it's your responsibility to make up the work from missed classes.What to Do if You Don't Get AlongHere are a few things you can try to make a difficult relationship work:Meet with the teacher and try to voice your true feeling, so as to see if you can work it out between the two of you.Ask yourself, "What can I learn from this teacher?" Even if you don't worship his or her personality or lectures, try to find a subject in which your teacher is very knowledgeable. Focus on that part of the teacher's personality, and use it as a tool for learning.Talk to students who are doing well in the class and ask them for tips. If you're too shy to talk to other students, study their actions in the classroom and follow that lead.If you still can't get along, make an appointment with the school guidance counselor(指导老师), who can offer many tips and suggestions. Sometimes a guidance counselor can act as a mediator between you and the teacher.If your relationship problems can't be solved in school, then it's time to tell your parents or guardians. Let them meet with your teacher and try to work it out. Teachers are there for more than just homework. They can help you learn how to function as an adult and a lifelong learner. Undoubtedly, there will be a few teachers along the way who you'll always remember —and who might change your life forever.1. Your mathematics teacher and English teacher are not real people.2. After high school, your teacher‟s oral recommendation may help you enter acollege or find a job.3. In your life, teachers are a group of grown-ups who can not only give youinstructionbut also help you establish adult outlook.4. To develop a good relationship with your teachers, you should get their personalinformation.5. Your teachers usually feel more relaxed in classroom teaching than in a privateconversation with you.6. If the subject is too difficult or boring to you, the best solution is asking a passinggrade from your teachers.7. To get along well with your teachers, you have to like them, always agree with them and respect them.8. If you miss some classes because of medical or other reasons, you ought to______.9. If it is really hard to get along with your teacher, the school guidance counselor might offer some help because they can serve as_______ between you and the teacher.10.Besides giving lectures, teachers can also help you learn how to become________.。

Passage 1Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1.For questions 1―7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked [A], [B], [C] and [D]. For questions 8―10, compl ete the sentences with the information given in the passage.Another IntelligenceEmotional intelligence as a theory was first brought to public attention by the book Emotional Intelligence, Why It can Matter More Than IQ by Daniel Goleman, but the theory itself is, in fact, attributed to two Americans, John D Mayer and Peter Salovey. What is emotional intelligence exactly? According to Goleman, Emotional Intelligence consists of five key elements.The first is knowing one‘s own emotions: be ing able to recognize that one is in an emotional state and having the ability to identify which emotion is being experienced, even if it is not a particularly comfortable feeling to admit to, e.g. jealously or envy.Emotional awareness can then lea d to managing one‘s emotions. This involves dealing with emotions, like jealousy, resentment, anger, etc, that one may have difficulty accepting by, perhaps, giving oneself comfort food, or doing nice things when one is feeling low. Many people do this instinctively by buying chocolate or treating themselves; others are able to wrap themselves in positive thoughts or ‗mother themselves‘. There are, of course, many people who are incapable of doing this, and so need to be taught.The third area is self-motivation. Our emotions can simultaneously empower and hinder us, so it is important to develop the ability to control them.Strategies can be learnt whereby emotions are set aside to be dealt with at a later date. For example, when dealing with the success or good fortune of others, it is better not to suppress any negative emotion that arises. One just has to recognize it is there. And then one just needs to be extra careful when making decisions and not allow one‘s emotions to cloud the issue, by letting them dictate how one functions with that person. The separation of logic and emotion is not easy when dealing with people.As social beings, we need to be able to deal with other people, which brings us to the next item on Goleman‘s list,namely: recognizing emotions in other people. This means, in effect, having or developing ―social radar‖, ie learning to read the weather systems around individual or groups of people. Obviously, leading on from this is the ability to handle relationships. If we can recognize, understand and then deal with other people‘s emotions, we can function better both socially and professionally. Not being tangible, emotions are difficult to analyze and quantify, compounded by the fact that each area in the list above, does not operate in isolation. Each of us has misread a friend‘s or a colleague‘s behavior to us and other people. The classic example is the shy person, categorized by some people as arrogant and distant and by others as lively and friendly and very personable. How can two different groups make a definitive analysis of someone that is so strikingly contradictory? And yet this happens on a daily basis in all our relationships — even to the point of misreading the behavior of those close to us! In the work scenario, this can cost money. And so it makes economic sense for business to be aware of it and develop strategies for employing people and dealing with their employees.All common sense you might say. Goleman himself has even suggested that emotional intelligence is just a new way of describing competence; what some people might call savior faire or savoir vivre. Part of the problem here is that society or some parts of society have forgottenthat these skills ever existed and have found the need to re-invent them.But the emergence of Emotional Intelligence as a theory suggests that the family situations and other social interactions where social skills were honed in the past are fast disappearing, so that people now sadly need to be re-skilled.1. Emotional Intelligence as a theory ______.[A] was unheard of until the 1970s[B] is attributed to Daniel Goleman[C] consists of at least five key areas[D] is attributed to Mayer and Salovey2. Which is one way of controlling emotions?[A] To put them to the side to deal with later.[B] To use both logic and emotion.[C] To suppress the negative ones.[D] To hinder them.3. As well as being intangible, what is the problem with emotions?[A] They are difficult.[B] They are compounded.[C] They are difficult to qualify.[D] They do not operate in isolation.4. Misreading the behavior of others ______.[A] is always expensive[B] is a classic example[C] happens on a daily basis[D] is most common with those close to us5. Employers need to ______.[A] save money[B] work scenario[C] know about people‘s emotions[D] employ and deal with employees6. Goleman links Emotional Intelligence to ______.[A] happiness [B] competence[C] incompetence [D] common sense7. The fact that the idea of Emotional Intelligence has emerged suggests that social interactivities______.[A] are honed[B] happen in the family[C] need to be re-skilled[D] are becoming less frequent8. Knowing one‘s emotions involves both ____________.9. The ability to recognize emotions in other people is like ____________.10. Handling relationships is the key to ____________.答案解析：【解析】选[D]。
