新全国卷I-阅读理解D
Popularization has in some cases changed the original meaning of emotional (情感的) intelligence. Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a person’s makeup that cannot be measured by an IQ test, such as character, motivation, confidence, mental stability, optimism and “people skills.” Research has shown that emotional skills may contribute to some of these qualities, but most of them move far beyond skill-based emotional intelligence.
We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad purposes. The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how best to help her patients, while a cheater might use it to control potential victims. Being emotionally intelligent does not necessarily make one a moral person.
Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support, the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful. The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much-needed emphasis (重视) on emotion by employers, educators and others interested in promoting social well-being. The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people adaptively in everyday life.
Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable, we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion. It is our hope that in coming decades, advances in science will offer new perspectives (视角) from which to study how people manage their lives. Emotional intelligence, with its focus on both head and heart, may serve to point us in the right direction.
32. What is a common misunderstanding of emotional intelligence?
A. It can be measured by an IQ test.
B. It helps to exercise a person’s mind.
C. It includes a set of emotional skills.
D. It refers to a person’s positive qualities.
【解题思路实录】D。细节理解题。题干问的是:人们对情商的普遍误解是什么?题干中的关键词是misunderstanding。据此可定位到第一段中含misunderstand的一个句子:Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a person’s makeup that cannot be measured by an IQ test(现在许多人将情商误解为人的性格中无法通过智商测试来衡量的一切可取的东西),该句告诉我们:许多多常常将情商误解为可取的东西,但事实上,情商有好有好(参见第2段中的for either good or bad purposes)。所以本题的答案是D,注意选项中的positive qualities(积极的品质)与文章中的everything desirable(一切可取的东西,即好的品质)为同义表达。
33. Why does the author mention “doctor” and “cheater” in paragraph 2?
A. To explain a rule.
B. To clarify a concept.
C. To present a fact.
D. To make a prediction.
【解题思路实录】B。推理判断题。题干问的是:作者为什么在第2段提到“医生”和“骗子”?题干中的关键词是doctor和cheater。文章第一段分析了“人们对情商的误解”(根据前面一题的标题也可看出,这种误解就是认为“情商”是一种好的品质),而根据一般的写作逻辑,文章既然指出“人们对情商的误解”,后面肯定就要给出“人们对情商的正确理解”。“正确理解”是怎样的?文章第2段第1句就给出了答案,情商可好可坏:We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad purposes(我们更愿意将情商描述为一系列特定的技能,可用于好的或坏的目的)。如何用于好的目的和坏的目的?为了解释清楚这一概念,作者没有采用“说理”的方法,而是采用了“举例”的方法,即列举了“医生”和“骗子”的例子进行说明:The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how best to help her patients, while a cheater might use it to control potential victims(医生可以利用准确了解他人感受的能力来找到如何最好地帮助其病人的方法,而骗子可能会利用它来控制潜在的受害者)。根据以上分析,再结合四个选项,显然B(To clarify a concept)是最佳答案。
34. What is the author’s attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligence?
A. Favorable.
B. Intolerant.
C. Doubtful.
D. Unclear.
【解题思路实录】A。推理判断题。文章一共四段,前面两道题分别是针对第1段和第2段设的题,而最后一题的题干已明确表明是针对最后一段(the last paragraph)出的题,所以本题基本可以肯定是针对第3段出题。本题题干问的是:作者对情商大众化持什么态度?题干中的关键词是 the author’s attitude(作者的态度),再扫一眼选项:Favorable=支持,Intolerant=无法容忍,Doubtful=怀疑,Unclear=不清楚。接下我们就可以带着题干关键词和选项信息快速浏览第3段:本段第一句的第一个单词是although(虽然),尽管英语中的although不与but连用,但在含义上,后面一定是有转折语境的,现在我们来细看本句:Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support, the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful(尽管关于情商的流行观点远远超出了研究能合理支持的范围,但大众化的总体效果是利大于弊),注意本句中的关键信息more beneficial than harmful(利大于弊),同时注意文中的publicity与题干中的popularization为同义表达。至此,答案就很显然了,即只能选A。
35. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning emotional intelligence?
A. Its appeal to the public.
B. Expectations for future studies.
C. Its practical application.
D. Scientists with new perspectives.
【解题思路实录】B。推理判断题。题干问的是:关于情商,最后一段主要讲了什么?本题是要我们归纳段落大意,针对这样的题肯定是通读全段的,但在通读时学会抓关键词和关键信息。我们在通读全段之前可以先扫读一下四个选项:
A. Its appeal to the public. 它(情商)对公众的吸引力。
B. Expectations for future studies. 对未来研究的期望。
C. Its practical application. 它(情商)的实际应用。
D. Scientists with new perspectives. 有新观点的科学家。
根据题干要求和选项内容,通读本段可找出以下写作思路:Although… we hope…It is our hope…(虽然……但我们希望……我们希望的是……),很显然,这是对未来研究提出hope,也就是说,本题答案只能选B。
