Jason got straight A’s and was determined to study medicine at Harvard, yet this was his downfall. His physics teacher gave Jason a B, a mark Jason believed would undermine(削弱)his entrance to Harvard. After receiving his B, Jason took a butcher knife to school and stabbed his physics teacher. ‎ How can someone as smart as Jason do something so dumb? Studies show there is little or no correlation between IQ and emotional intelligence. ‎ During my early university years, I regarded myself as an intelligent guy. I got good marks in mathematics, physics, and other subjects. I thought such skills would surely give me a bright future. After one year of study with decent marks, I began to see two major classes of students. The first category of students turned up to few lectures, partied every weekend, enjoyed a great social life, and did minimal work to pass courses. The second category of students were intelligent and hard workers who got good grades and were very focused on their studies. Surely would these intelligent and hard-working students find the great jobs before the other lazier category of students? ‎ Not so. Students are often shocked upon graduation that their qualifications are not as important as they once thought. Graduates enter the workforce only to realize that co-workers hate them and less intelligent people are the ones receiving promotions. ‎ Educational skills are useless in some industries when interpersonal skills are absent. You can have great ideas, theories, and solve complex problems, but if you cannot effectively communicate in a persuasive and exciting manner by relating to your fellow humans, you will face an uphill battle in whatever challenges you encounter. It’s not that people dislike you because of your intelligence; it’s that people dislike you because you’re rude and not understanding. The intelligent person with poor communication skills is insensitive or unaware of others’ emotions. ‎ ‎1. Jason Haffizulla stabbed his physics teacher because　　　. ‎ A. he was unfairly treated by his teacher B. he was disappointed with his downfall C. he was not smart enough at studies D. he got a worse mark than usual ‎2. We can infer from the third paragraph that the author　　　in his early university years. ‎ A. didn’t think communication skills were as important as intelligence B. didn’t work hard C. belonged to the first category of students D. could keep a balance between social life and studies ‎3. Intelligent people are hated because　　　. ‎ A. they can solve more complex problems B. they can’t settle the challenges they meet C. they are envied for their intelligence D. they are not understanding enough ‎4. The main purpose of the text is to tell us　　　. ‎ A. the relationship between IQ and emotional intelligence B. what kind of students can succeed in college C. smart people may have poorer communication skills D. intelligent students will meet more challenges at work Ⅲ. 任务型阅读 ‎(2013·池州模拟)‎ ‎　　请认真阅读下列短文, 并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。‎ 注意: 每个空格只填一个单词。‎ Some people believe that greed and selfishness has become the basis of modern society, and we should return to the old traditions of family and community then we will have a better life. To what extent do you agree or disagree with the above opinion? ‎ In this fast-paced world, many values are undergoing major changes. While people traditionally prioritize caring, sharing and generosity in life and work, modern people seem to be more self-absorbed and self-concerned. ‎ Modern people act selfishly to survive the harsh competition of life. They say that it is a jungle out there. To survive, you have to fight with whatever means that come handy. Obviously greed and selfishness go perfectly well with such ideas. In a company, employees do everything they can to get better pay and higher position, even at the cost of colleagues. We are in any way advocating any selfish conduct. It is just that people are pressured to act in a certain way due to outside influences. ‎ In spite of common practice, it is hard to conclude that modern society is built on greed and selfishness, both of which are not newly invented vocabulary. In ancient times people also did greedy and selfish things though such behaviors were more condemned then. But we cannot ignore the fact that people in the past lived a relatively more isolated life and faced less pressure compared with their modern counterparts. ‎ Are we happier to share with others and be generous to them? There is no fixed answer either. Some people take great pleasure helping and giving to others while others feel happy doing the opposite. But I personally think that people should not be too selfish. Caring for others can actually encourage the development of a mutually beneficial relationship. ‎ In conclusion, modern people appear to be more self-centered than those in the past due to strong outside pressure. However, we should encourage people to know the importance of being caring and generous and to build a mutually beneficial relationship with others. ‎ Are Modern People Becoming More Selfish?‎ Main comparisons Contexts ‎(1)　　　 ‎ are changing In the past people put caring, sharing and generosity in the first(2)　　　　. ‎ Nowadays, people seem to be more(3)　　　　about themselves. ‎ ‎(4)　　　　are changing too People in the past appeared to be modest and self-effacing(谦让的). ‎ Nowadays, people may strive to achieve their own ‎(5)　　　　at the price of their coworkers. ‎ The author’s understanding ‎(6)　　　　for the changes in the author’s eyes Fierce(7)　　　　and great (8)　　　　on modern people may be responsible for the changes. ‎ The author’s ‎(9)　　　　towards topic A relationship which can(10)　　　　two sides should be established. ‎ 答案解析 Ⅰ. 1. 【解析】选D。考查插入语。句意: 大量的物资被提供给遭受洪灾的地区, 并且, 来自各行各业的人们自愿到那里帮助重建家园。on the contrary相反; by all means务必, 尽一切办法; above anything else超过别的任何东西; what’s more更有甚者。‎ ‎2. 【解析】选A。考查非谓语动词。句意: 这部电影最初是打算给十二岁以下的孩子看的, 现在被用来教育成年人。句子的谓语部分是is now being used, intended是过去分词作定语, 修饰movie。‎ ‎3. 【解析】选C。考查情态动词。句意: ——玛丽与我断绝了关系!——你不应忘记情人节的事。从句中的broke看是发生在过去, shouldn’t have done表示对过去的一种责备。‎ ‎4. 【解析】选A。考查动词短语辨析。句意: 现在我国政府特别重视教育, 这使得很多人能得到良好的教育。attach much importance to“重视”; pay attention to“注意”; link to“联系”; apply to“应用”。故选A。‎ ‎5. 【解析】选A。考查习惯用法。需要分析句子结构, 还原成陈述句为: This is the very material that scientists used to light. . . 意为“这就是科学家们用来点燃2012年伦敦奥运会火炬的材料”。‎ ‎6. 【解析】选B。考查名词性从句。句意: 你能告诉我新产的iPad对我们的日常生活有什么作用吗? 　　　use the newly-produced iPad can be of to our daily life为宾语从句, 且该从句中缺少定语, 其正常语序应为. . . can be of　　　use to. . . 根据句意可知用what。how为连接副词, 在句中作方式状语; if是否, 在引导名词性从句时不作任何成分; whose尽管可以用作定语, 但意为“谁的”, 不符合语境。‎ ‎7. 【解析】选A。考查形容词辨析。句意: 我每天骑自行车去上班, 并且有一个很深的感受, 那就是自行车在我们的日常生活中是非常便利的。convenient“方便的”; available“可以利用的, 可以得到的”; possible“可能的”; personal“个人的”。故选A。‎ ‎8. 【解析】选C。考查状语从句。句意: 绝不要因为别人都相信就相信。because因为; unless除非; once一旦; that不能引导状语从句。‎ ‎9. 【解析】选D。考查介词短语。句意: 那位煤矿老板不顾工人的安全而冒险赚钱。A项意为“需要”; B项意为“代替”; C项意为“万一”; D项意为“不管, 不顾”。‎ ‎10. 【解析】选C。考查情景交际。句意: ——我得去洗衣店取衣服。——费那劲干嘛? 下午回家时我给你捎回来。So what? “那又怎样? ”How come? “怎么会这样? ”Why not? “为什么不? ”, 均不符合句意。故选C。‎ ‎11. 【解析】选B。考查定语从句。句意: 我很钦佩我的英语老师, 在我的记忆中她几乎没有因为生病而停止工作的时候。代替先行词occasions, 在从句中作时间状语, 所以用when, 相当于on which。‎ ‎12. 【解析】选B。考查形容词的用法。句意: 他们把老年人和孩子送到安全的地方以免洪水毁坏他们的村庄, 这种做法是体贴的。此处tolerant忍受的; considerate体贴的; typical典型的; compulsory义务的。‎ ‎13. 【解析】选C。考查冠词的用法。第一空泛指“一股冷锋”; 第二空特指“辽宁省和黑龙江省的温度”。‎ ‎14. 【解析】选D。考查形容词辨析。答句句意: 考虑到它是手工制作的, 这个价格公平合理。reasonable“合理的”; cheap便宜的; equal平等的; expensive昂贵的。‎ ‎15. 【解析】选C。考查情态动词的用法。答语句意: 很难说。但是我认为他应该有责任感、做事果断、有创造性。表示(义务、责任)应该、应当, 用should。‎ Ⅱ. 【文章大意】有的人可能有超人的智商, 在大学有非常好的学业成绩, 但是他们却缺少与人交往的能力, 这可能成为某些大学毕业生在未来所面临的一个问题。情商、智商, 哪个更重要? ‎ ‎1. 【解析】选D。细节理解题。从文章第一段中的“His physics teacher gave Jason a B, a mark Jason believed would undermine his entrance to Harvard.
