第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，40 分）
第一节（共15 小题；每小题2 分，共30 分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在
答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
The Basics of Math—Made Clear
Basic Math introduces students to the basic concepts of mathematics, as well as
the fundamentals of more tricky areas. These 30 fantastic lectures are designed to
provide students with an understanding of arithmetic and to prepare them for
Algebra(代数) and beyond.
The lessons in Basic Math cover every basic aspect of arithmetic. They also look
into exponents(指数), the order of operations, and square roots. In addition to learning
how to perform various mathematical operations, students discover why these
operations work, how a particular mathematical topic relates to other branches of
mathematics, and how these operations can be used practically.
Basic Math starts from the relatively easier concepts and gradually moves on to
the more troublesome ones, so as to allow for steady and sure understanding of the
material by students. The lectures offer students the chance to “make sense” of
mathematical knowledge that may have seemed so frightening. They also help
students prepare for college mathematics and overcome their anxiety about this
第6页（共46页）
amazing—and completely understandable—field of study.
By the conclusion of the course, students will have improved their understanding
of basic math. They will be able to clear away the mystery(神秘性) of mathematics
and face their studies with more confidence than they ever imagined. In addition, they
will strengthen their ability to accept new and exciting mathematical challenges.
Professor H. Siegel, honored by Kentucky Educational Television as “the best
math teacher in America,” is a devoted teacher and has a gift for explaining
mathematical concepts in ways that make them seem clear and obvious. From the
basic concrete ideas to the more abstract problems, he is master in making math
lectures learner-friendlier and less scary.
With a PhD in Mathematics Education from Georgia State University, Dr. Siegel
teaches mathematics at Central Arizona College. His courses include various make-up
classes and a number of lectures for future primary school teachers.
If the course fails to provide complete satisfaction to you, you can easily
exchange it for any other course that we offer. Or you can get your money back.

Peanuts to This
Proudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my
classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I
glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I
had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. “What could be causing everyone to act this
way?”
Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the
first real talk I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and
find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history
came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name
before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two
people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented
hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I
stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather
for a golden piece of advice; flip (掷) a coin. Heads—the commander, and tails—the
peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut
butter, George Washington Carver.
Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I
lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done
wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George
Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.” The whole world
became quite! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?
Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this
around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade. I felt that
the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance.
Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten
months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster’s office
第8页（共46页）
with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and
flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the
headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!
60. What did the author’s classmates think about his report?
A. Controversial. B. Ridiculous. C. Boring. D. Puzzling.
61. Why was the author confused about the task?
A. He was unfamiliar with American history.
B. He followed the advice and flipped a coin.
C. He forgot his teacher’s instruction.
D. He was new at the school.
62. The underlined word “burning” in Para. 3 probably means _______.
A. annoyed B. ashamed C. ready D. eager
63. In the end, the author turned things around _______.
A. by redoing his task
B. through his own efforts
C. with the help of his grandfather
D. under the guidance of his headmaster
C
Decision-making under Stress
A new review based on a research shows that acute stress affects the way the
brain considers the advantages and disadvantages, causing it to focus on pleasure and
ignore the possible negative (负面的) consequences of a decision.
The research suggests that stress may change the way people make choices in
predictable ways.
“Stress affects how people learn,” says Professor Mara Mather. “People learn
better about positive than negative outcomes under stress.”
For example, two recent studies looked at how people learned to connect
images(影像) with either rewards or punishments. In one experiment, some of the
participants were first stressed by having to give a speech and do difficult math
第9页（共46页）
problems in front of an audience; in the other, some were stressed by having to keep
their hands in ice water. In both cases, the stressed participants remembered the
rewarded material more accurately and the punished material less accurately than
those who hadn’t gone through the stress.
This phenomenon is likely not surprising to anyone who has tried to resist eating
cookies or smoking a cigarette while under stress – at those moments, only the
pleasure associated with such activities comes to mind. But the findings further
suggest that stress may bring about a double effect. Not only are rewarding
experiences remembered better, but negative consequences are also easily recalled.
The research also found that stress appears to affect decision-making differently
in men and women. While both men and women tend to focus on rewards and less on
consequences under stress, their responses to risk turn out to be different.
Men who had been stressed by the cold-water task tended to take more risks in
the experiment while women responded in the opposite way. In stressful situations in
which risk-taking can pay off big, men may tend to do better, when caution weighs
more, however, women will win.
This tendency to slow down and become more cautious when decisions are risky
might also help explain why women are less likely to become addicted than men: they
may more often avoid making the risky choices that eventually harden into addiction.
64. We can learn from the passage that people under pressure tend to ______.
A. keep rewards better in their memory
B. recall consequences more effortlessly
C. make risky decisions more frequently
D. learn a subject more effectively
65. According to the research, stress affects people most probably in their ______.
A. ways of making choices
B. preference for pleasure
C. tolerance of punishments
D. responses to suggestions
66. The research has proved that in a stressful situation, ______.
A. women find it easier to fall into certain habits
B. men have a greater tendency to slow down
第10页（共46页）
C. women focus more on outcomes
D. men are more likely to take risks
D
Wilderness
“In wilderness(荒野) is the preservation of the world.” This is a famous saying
from a writer regarded as one of the fathers of environmentalism. The frequency with
which it is borrowed mirrors a heated debate on environmental protection: whether to
place wilderness at the heart of what is to be preserved.
As John Sauven of Greenpeace UK points out, there is a strong appeal in images
of the wild, the untouched; more than anything else, they speak of the nature that
many people value most dearly. The urge to leave the subject of such images
untouched is strong, and the danger exploitation(开发) brings to such landscapes(景
观) is real. Some of these wildernesses also perform functions that humans need—the
rainforests, for example, store carbon in vast quantities. To Mr. Sauven, these
“ecosystem services” far outweigh the gains from exploitation.
Lee Lane, a visiting fellow at the Hudson Institute, takes the opposing view. He
acknowledges that wildernesses do provide useful services, such as water
conservation. But that is not, he argues, a reason to avoid all human presence, or
indeed commercial and industrial exploitation. There are ever more people on the
Earth, and they reasonably and rightfully want to have better lives, rather than merely
struggle for survival. While the ways of using resources have improved, there is still a
growing need for raw materials, and some wildernesses contain them in abundance. If
they can be tapped without reducing the services those wildernesses provide, the
argument goes, there is no further reason not to do so. Being untouched is not, in
itself, a characteristic worth valuing above all others.
I look forwards to seeing these views taken further, and to their being challenged
by the other participants. One challenge that suggests itself to me is that both cases
need to take on the question of spiritual value a little more directly. And there is a
practical question as to whether wildernesses can be exploited without harm.
第11页（共46页）
This is a topic that calls for not only free expression of feelings, but also the
guidance of reason. What position wilderness should enjoy in the preservation of the
world obviously deserves much more serious thinking.
67. John Sauven holds that_____.
A. many people value nature too much
B. exploitation of wildernesses is harmful
C. wildernesses provide humans with necessities
D. the urge to develop the ecosystem services is strong
68. What is the main idea of Para. 3?
A. The exploitation is necessary for the poor people.
B. Wildernesses cannot guarantee better use of raw materials.
C. Useful services of wildernesses are not the reason for no exploitation.
D. All the characteristics concerning the exploitation should be treated equally.
69. What is the author’s attitude towards this debate?
A. Objective. B. Disapproving. C. Sceptical. D. Optimistic.
70. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
A.

第二节（共5 小题 ；每小题2 分，共10 分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项
中有两项为多余选项。
Empathy
Last year, researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy, the
ability to understand other people, among college students had dropped sharply over
the past 10 years. __71__ Today, people spend more time alone and are less likely to
join groups and clubs.
Jennifer Freed, a co-director of a teen program, has another explanation. Turn on
the TV, and you’re showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting,
competing, and generally treating one another with no respect. __72__
There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples. Humans are socially
related by nature. __73__ Researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are
more likely to have high self-respect. Besides, empathy can be a cure for loneliness,
sadness, anxiety, and fear.
Empathy is also an indication of a good leader. In fact, Freed says, many top
companies report that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in
new managers. __74__ “Academics are important. But if you don’t have emotional
(情感的) intelligence, you won’t be as successful in work or in your love life,” she
says.
第13页（共46页）
What’s the best way to up your EQ (情商）? For starters, let down your guard and
really listen to others. __75__
To really develop empathy, you’d better volunteer at a nursing home or a
hospital, join a club or a team that has a diverse membership, have a “sharing circle”
with your family, or spend time caring for pets at an animal shelter.
A. Everyone is different, and levels of empathy differ from person to person.
B. That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time,
the researchers said.
C. “One doesn’t develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of
talking,” Freed says.
D. Humans learn by example—and most of the examples on it are anything but
empathetic.
E. Empathy is a matter of learning how to understand someone else—both what they
think and how they feel.
F. Good social skills—including empathy—are a kind of “emotional intelligence” that
will help you succeed in many areas of life.
G. Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human—and
having empathy is decisive to those relationships.

C. to correct
D. correcting
【考点】B6：动名词．菁优网版权所有
【分析】句意：一个人通过犯错误和纠正错误中学习一门语言．
【解答】答案D．介词by 意为"通过…，凭…"，后面常接动名词，形成"by+v.-ing"结
构，表示通过做某事而得到某种结果．By 后面有两个宾语，一个是making
mistakes，另外一个是correcting them．故选D．
【点评】本题考查动名词做介词宾语的用法．

在宾语从句中作什么成分，有没有什么实际意义．
25. George said that he would come to school to see me the next day, but he ______.
A. wouldn’t
B. didn’t
C. hasn’t
D. hadn’t
【考点】E2：一般过去时；GN：并列句．菁优网版权所有
【分析】句意为：George 说他第二天要来学校看我，但是他却没来．
【解答】答案：B．本题考查并列句中的时态．现在完成时强调过去某个不确定时间
发生某事，并对现在的影响或过去某个时间持续到现在；一般过去时强调过去某
个具体时间发生某事，与现在没有必然的联系．这个"没来"是什么时候没来？当
第22页（共46页）
然是"the next day"，由并列句谓语动词said 可知，为一般过去时，可知"the next
day"为"过去的一个具体时间"，所以用一般过去时．
【点评】考查时态，一定要注意上下文所表达的语境．
26. When deeply absorbed in work, ______ he often was, he would forget all about
eating or sleeping.
A. that B. which
C. where
D. when
【考点】59：关系代词．菁优网版权所有
【分析】当他全身心地投入工作中时，他就会废寝忘食，而他经常这样（全身心地
投入工作）．
【解答】答案B．由引导词前面的逗号可知，这是一个非限制性定语从句，所以首
先排除that．由定语从句的was 可知，定语从句缺少表语，所以排除在定语从句中
作状语的where 和when．故选B 项．
【点评】做从句题时，首先看从句是否缺少成份，如果缺少就在关系代词里找引导
词；如果不缺少成份，就在关系副词里选择引导词．
27. _______ with care, one tin will last for six weeks.
A. Use
B. Using
C. Used
D. To use
【考点】BB：过去分词．菁优网版权所有
【分析】锡罐用得小心的话，可以用六周．
【解答】答案：C．句子的主语one tin 和use 之间是被动关系，故用过去分词作状
语．相当于条件状语从句，If is used with care, …故选C 项．
【点评】考查非谓语动词．主要看句子的主语和分词之间是主动还是被动关系，主
动关系就用现在分词；被动关系就用过去分词．
28. Many people have donated that type of blood; however, the blood bank needs

D. more
第23页（共46页）
【考点】71：副词的比较级与最高级．菁优网版权所有
【分析】尽管很多人已经捐赠了那种血型，然而血库里还需要更多．
【解答】答案：D．由however 可知，其前后意思形成对比，应该用比较级，排除A、
C 两项．而B 项是"更少地"，意思相反，不符合题意．故选D 项．
【点评】考查副词的比较等级．主要根据句意，判断出副词的意思，然后做出选择．
29. —Have you heard about that fire in the market?
— Yes, fortunately no one _____.
A. hurt
B. was hurt
C. has hurt
D. had been hurt
【考点】F4：一般过去时的被动语态．菁优网版权所有
【分析】﹣﹣你听说市场上的火了吗？﹣﹣是的，幸运的是没有人受伤．
【解答】答案B．根据句意可知，那场大火已经发生了，应该用一般过去时，no one
和hurt 是被动关系，所以应该用一般过去时的被动语态，故选B．
【点评】时态题的考查关键是抓住句子的上下文含义和句中的时间状语．要根据
时间状语来选择合适的时态，在平时的学习中要注意积累有关时态的用法和各种
时态的特殊之处．还要注意语态的正确使用．
30. Our friendship _____ quickly over the weeks that followed.
A. had developed
B. was developing C. would develop D. developed
【考点】E2：一般过去时．菁优网版权所有
【分析】在接下来的几个星期里，我们的友谊发展得很快．
【解答】答案D．因为over that followed 表示过去，选项A 表示过去完成时态，意
思是我们的友谊已经发展完成了，与句意不符，选项B 表示过去进行时，也就是
过去的一段时间正在发生的事情，但本题中有quickly 一词，所以选项B 也不正
确，选项C 表示过去将来时，不符合题意，故选D．
【点评】时态的考查要放在具体的语境之中，只有在语境中才可以正确的理解与
使用．同时要抓住关键词来判断时态．
第24页（共46页）
31. ______ at the door before you enter my room, please.
A. Knock
B. Knocking
C. Knocked
D. To knock
【考点】G9：祈使句．菁优网版权所有

【解答】答案：A．本题是考查祈使句，祈使句通常向听话者发出命令，提出要求和
建议，用动词原形开头．
【点评】本题是基础题，考查的是第二人称祈使句．
32. Bird’s singing is warning to other birds ___ away.
A. to stay B. staying C. stayed D. stay

to do 之间无逗号间隔，译为“为了”．可知A 正确．
【点评】 首先判断选项中的动词在句中是以谓语还是非谓语形式出现，然后根据
选项在句中的功能结合非谓语的基本用法做出合理的判断．
33. We ______ the difficulty together, but why didn’t you tell me?
A. should face
B. might face
C. could have faced
D. must have faced
【考点】GJ：虚拟语气．菁优网版权所有
【分析】句意：我们本可以一起面对困难的，但是你为什么不告诉我？
【解答】答案：C．根据why didn’t you tell me？中的过去时可知本题是对过去情况
的虚拟．must have done 表示一定做过某事；could have done 表示本可以做而实际
上却未做，表示惋惜；结合句意可知C 正确．
【点评】本题考查虚拟语气．but 是个含蓄的虚拟条件句，所以一定要根据上下文
语境，理解句意．另外，还要记牢情态动词+have done 的意思．
第25页（共46页）
34. Do you think this shirt is too tight ____ the shoulders?
A. at
B. on
C. to
D. across
【考点】82：方位介词．菁优网版权所有
【分析】句意：难道你不觉得这件衬衣肩部太紧了吗？
【解答】答案D．across the shoulders 此处表示"从肩的一边到另一边"；根据句意，
是两个肩膀之间太紧，用across．故选D．
【点评】本题考查方位介词，答题时要注意介词的固定搭配，如across the shoulders
此处表示"从肩的一边到另一边"．
35. Don’t handle the vase as if it ____ made of steel.
A. is
B. were
C. has been
D. had been
【考点】GJ：虚拟语气．菁优网版权所有
【分析】句意：不要拿那个花瓶，就好像它是铁做的一样．
【解答】答案：B．as if （好像）后面的宾语从句如果表示虚假的情况，要使用虚拟
语气．与现在相反的时候使用一般过去时（be 动词用were），根据"Don’t handle
the vase"可知，本题与现在事实相反，故使用一般过去时，故选：B．
【点评】本题考查虚拟语气．as if （好像）后面的宾语从句如果表示虚假的情况，要
使用虚拟语气．与现在相反的时候使用一般过去时（be 动词用were）；与过去相
反使用过去完成时．

答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
The Basics of Math—Made Clear
Basic Math introduces students to the basic concepts of mathematics, as well as
the fundamentals of more tricky areas. These 30 fantastic lectures are designed to
provide students with an understanding of arithmetic and to prepare them for
Algebra(代数) and beyond.
The lessons in Basic Math cover every basic aspect of arithmetic. They also look
into exponents(指数), the order of operations, and square roots. In addition to learning
how to perform various mathematical operations, students discover why these
operations work, how a particular mathematical topic relates to other branches of
第30页（共46页）
mathematics, and how these operations can be used practically.
Basic Math starts from the relatively easier concepts and gradually moves on to
the more troublesome ones, so as to allow for steady and sure understanding of the
material by students. The lectures offer students the chance to “make sense” of
mathematical knowledge that may have seemed so frightening. They also help
students prepare for college mathematics and overcome their anxiety about this
amazing—and completely understandable—field of study.
By the conclusion of the course, students will have improved their understanding
of basic math. They will be able to clear away the mystery(神秘性) of mathematics
and face their studies with more confidence than they ever imagined. In addition, they
will strengthen their ability to accept new and exciting mathematical challenges.
Professor H. Siegel, honored by Kentucky Educational Television as “the best
math teacher in America,” is a devoted teacher and has a gift for explaining
mathematical concepts in ways that make them seem clear and obvious. From the
basic concrete ideas to the more abstract problems, he is master in making math
lectures learner-friendlier and less scary.
With a PhD in Mathematics Education from Georgia State University, Dr. Siegel
teaches mathematics at Central Arizona College. His courses include various make-up
classes and a number of lectures for future primary school teachers.
If the course fails to provide complete satisfaction to you, you can easily
exchange it for any other course that we offer. Or you can get your money back.
56. What does the course Basic Math mainly cover?
A. Algebra. B. College Mathematics.
C. Arithmetic. D. Mathematics Education.
57. What benefits can students expect from Basic Math?
A. Stronger imaginative ability.
B. Additional presentation skills.
C. More mathematical confidence.
D. Greater chances of becoming teachers.

Decision-making under Stress
A new review based on a research shows that acute stress affects the way the
brain considers the advantages and disadvantages, causing it to focus on pleasure and
ignore the possible negative (负面的) consequences of a decision.
The research suggests that stress may change the way people make choices in
predictable ways.
“Stress affects how people learn,” says Professor Mara Mather. “People learn
better about positive than negative outcomes under stress.”
For example, two recent studies looked at how people learned to connect
第35页（共46页）
images(影像) with either rewards or punishments. In one experiment, some of the
participants were first stressed by having to give a speech and do difficult math
problems in front of an audience; in the other, some were stressed by having to keep
their hands in ice water. In both cases, the stressed participants remembered the
rewarded material more accurately and the punished material less accurately than
those who hadn’t gone through the stress.
This phenomenon is likely not surprising to anyone who has tried to resist eating
cookies or smoking a cigarette while under stress – at those moments, only the
pleasure associated with such activities comes to mind. But the findings further
suggest that stress may bring about a double effect. Not only are rewarding
experiences remembered better, but negative consequences are also easily recalled.
The research also found that stress appears to affect decision-making differently
in men and women. While both men and women tend to focus on rewards and less on
consequences under stress, their responses to risk turn out to be different.
Men who had been stressed by the cold-water task tended to take more risks in
the experiment while women responded in the opposite way. In stressful situations in
which risk-taking can pay off big, men may tend to do better, when caution weighs
more, however, women will win.
This tendency to slow down and become more cautious when decisions are risky
might also help explain why women are less likely to become addicted than men: they
may more often avoid making the risky choices that eventually harden into addiction.
64. We can learn from the passage that people under pressure tend to ______.
A. keep rewards better in their memory
B. recall consequences more effortlessly
C. make risky decisions more frequently
D. learn a subject more effectively
65. According to the research, stress affects people most probably in their ______.
A. ways of making choices
B. preference for pleasure
C. tolerance of punishments
D. responses to suggestions
66. The research has proved that in a stressful situation, ______.
第36页（共46页）
A. women find it easier to fall into certain habits
B. men have a greater tendency to slow down
C. women focus more on outcomes
D. men are more likely to take risks

Wilderness
“In wilderness(荒野) is the preservation of the world.” This is a famous saying
第37页（共46页）
from a writer regarded as one of the fathers of environmentalism. The frequency with
which it is borrowed mirrors a heated debate on environmental protection: whether to
place wilderness at the heart of what is to be preserved.
As John Sauven of Greenpeace UK points out, there is a strong appeal in images
of the wild, the untouched; more than anything else, they speak of the nature that
many people value most dearly. The urge to leave the subject of such images
untouched is strong, and the danger exploitation(开发) brings to such landscapes(景
观) is real. Some of these wildernesses also perform functions that humans need—the
rainforests, for example, store carbon in vast quantities. To Mr. Sauven, these
“ecosystem services” far outweigh the gains from exploitation.
Lee Lane, a visiting fellow at the Hudson Institute, takes the opposing view. He
acknowledges that wildernesses do provide useful services, such as water
conservation. But that is not, he argues, a reason to avoid all human presence, or
indeed commercial and industrial exploitation. There are ever more people on the
Earth, and they reasonably and rightfully want to have better lives, rather than merely
struggle for survival. While the ways of using resources have improved, there is still a
growing need for raw materials, and some wildernesses contain them in abundance. If
they can be tapped without reducing the services those wildernesses provide, the
argument goes, there is no further reason not to do so. Being untouched is not, in
itself, a characteristic worth valuing above all others.
I look forwards to seeing these views taken further, and to their being challenged
by the other participants. One challenge that suggests itself to me is that both cases
need to take on the question of spiritual value a little more directly. And there is a
practical question as to whether wildernesses can be exploited without harm.
This is a topic that calls for not only free expression of feelings, but also the
guidance of reason. What position wilderness should enjoy in the preservation of the
world obviously deserves much more serious thinking.
67. John Sauven holds that_____.
A. many people value nature too much
B. exploitation of wildernesses is harmful
第38页（共46页）
C. wildernesses provide humans with necessities
D. the urge to develop the ecosystem services is strong
68. What is the main idea of Para. 3?
A. The exploitation is necessary for the poor people.
B. Wildernesses cannot guarantee better use of raw materials.
C. Useful services of wildernesses are not the reason for no exploitation.
D. All the characteristics concerning the exploitation should be treated equally.
69. What is the author’s attitude towards this debate?
A. Objective. B. Disapproving. C. Sceptical. D. Optimistic.
70. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
A.
B.
C.
D.
CP: Central Point
P: Point
Sp: Sub-point(次要点)

第二节（共5 小题 ；每小题2 分，共10 分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项
中有两项为多余选项。
Empathy
Last year, researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy, the
ability to understand other people, among college students had dropped sharply over
the past 10 years. __71__ Today, people spend more time alone and are less likely to
join groups and clubs.
Jennifer Freed, a co-director of a teen program, has another explanation. Turn on
第40页（共46页）
the TV, and you’re showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting,
competing, and generally treating one another with no respect. __72__
There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples. Humans are socially
related by nature. __73__ Researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are
more likely to have high self-respect. Besides, empathy can be a cure for loneliness,
sadness, anxiety, and fear.
Empathy is also an indication of a good leader. In fact, Freed says, many top
companies report that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in
new managers. __74__ “Academics are important. But if you don’t have emotional
(情感的) intelligence, you won’t be as successful in work or in your love life,” she
says.
What’s the best way to up your EQ (情商）? For starters, let down your guard and
really listen to others. __75__
To really develop empathy, you’d better volunteer at a nursing home or a
hospital, join a club or a team that has a diverse membership, have a “sharing circle”
with your family, or spend time caring for pets at an animal shelter.
H. Everyone is different, and levels of empathy differ from person to person.
I. That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time, the
researchers said.
J. “One doesn’t develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of
talking,” Freed says.
K. Humans learn by example—and most of the examples on it are anything but
empathetic.
L. Empathy is a matter of learning how to understand someone else—both what they
think and how they feel.
M. Good social skills—including empathy—are a kind of “emotional intelligence”
that will help you succeed in many areas of life.
N. Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human—and
having empathy is decisive to those relationships.

【分析】文章介绍了同情心在过去的十年里急剧地下降，同时也说明了下降的原
因．同情心是每个人所应该具备的素质之一，也是工作取得成功的一个因素．文
章也告诉我们应该怎样培养同情心．
【解答】BDGFC
71．B 上下文衔接．the ability to understand other people, among college students
had dropped sharply over the past 10 years. Today, people spend more time alone
and are less likely to join groups and clubs. 句意：同情心是理解他人的一种能力，
在过去的十年里大学生的同情心急剧的下降，当今，人们花费更多的时间独处，
似乎不愿意参加团队活动或俱乐部．答案应为C，研究员说，那是因为太多的人
用面对屏幕的时间代替了面对面的时间．
72．D 上下文理解．上文中人们打开电视看到的是fighting, competing, and
generally treating one another with no respect．后句人们从中学到的是这样的例子，
Humans learn by examples．因为下文提到those bad examples, those 指的就是上文
选出的选项．故答案应为D．
73．G 对上下文理解．There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples.
Humans are socially related by nature. Researchers have also found that empathetic
teenagers are more likely to have high self-respect. Besides, empathy can be a cure
for loneliness, sadness, anxiety, and fear. 句意为：人类天生地是有社会联系的，
研究员们发现，有同情心的青少年似乎有更高的自尊心，另外，同情心也是治癒
孤独，悲伤，焦虑和恐惧的一剂良药．所以答案应为G，Having relationships with
other people is an important part of being human---and having empathy is decisive to
those relationships．句意为：同其他人拥有的关系是人类的一个重要组成部分，有
同情心对这种关系是起决定作用的．
74．F 上下文联系题．Freed says, many top companies report that empathy is one of
the most important things they look for in new managers. “ Academics are
important. But if you don’t have emotional （情感的） intelligence, you won’t be as
successful in work or in your love life,” she says. 大意为：同情心是他们在新的经
理们身上找到的最重要的一件东西，学术知识是重要的，但是，如果你没有情商，
你就不会取得成功．所以答案应为F，Good social skills---including empathy---are a
第42页（共46页）
kind of “emotional intelligence” that will help you succeed in many areas of life.
意思是：好的社会技能包括同情心是情商中的一种，能够帮助你在生活的很多方
面取得成功．
75．C 顺承上文．What’s the best way to up your EQ （情商）? For starters, let down
your guard and really listen to others．提升情商的最好方法是什么呢？作为一个新
开始者，放下你的警惕真正的倾听别人，如果总是有意见或者总是说很多而听得
少，一个人就不会发展他的情商和同情心．
