4、tatements that follow each passage. Write your answer on your Answer Sheet. Passage One Psychologists agree that I.Q. contributes only about 20 percent of the factors that determine success. A full 80 percent comes from other factors，including what I call emotional intelligence. Following are two of

5、 the major qualities that make up emotional intelligence，and how they can be developed：1. Self-awareness. The ability to recognize a feeling as it happens is the keystone of emotional intelligence. People with greater certainty about their emotions are better pilots of their lives.Developing self-aw

6、areness requires tuning in to what neurologist Antonio Damasio calls “gut feelings”。Gut feelings can occur without a person being consciously aware of them. For example，when people who fear snakes are shown a picture of a snake，sensors on their skin will detect sweat，a sign of anxiety，even though th

7、e people say they do not feel fear. The sweat shows up even when a picture is presented so rapidly that the subject has no conscious awareness of seeing it.Through deliberate effort we can become more aware of our gut feelings. Take someone who is annoyed by a rude encounter for hours after it occur

8、red. He may be unaware of his irritability and surprised when someone calls attention to it. But if he evaluates his feelings, he can change them.Emotional self-awareness is the building block of the next fundamental of emotional intelligence：being able to shake off a bad mood.2. Mood Management. Ba

9、d as well as good moods spice life and build character. The key is balance. We often have little control over when we are swept by emotion. But we can have some say in how long that emotion will last. Psychologist Dianne Tice asked more than 400 men and women about their strategies for escaping foul

10、 moods. Her research，along with that of other psychologists，provides valuable information on how to change a bad mood.Of all the moods that people want to escape，rage seems to be the hardest to deal with. When someone in another car cuts you off on the highway，your reflexive though may be，That jerk！

11、 He could have hit me！I cant let him get away with that！The more you stew，the angrier you get. Such is the stuff of hypertension and reckless driving.What should you do to relieve rage？One myth is that ventilating will make you feel better. In fact，researchers have found thats one of the worst strat

12、egies. A more effective technique is “reframing”， which means consciously reinterpreting a situation in a more positive light. In the case of the driver who cuts you off，you might tell yourself： Maybe he had some emergency. This is one of the most potent ways, Tice found，to put anger to rest.Going o

13、ff alone to cool down is also an effective way to refuse anger, especially if you cant think clearly. Tice found that a large proportion of men cool down by going for a drivea finding that inspired her to drive more defensively. A safer alternative is exercise, such as taking a long walk. Whatever y

14、ou do，dont waste the time pursuing your train of angry thoughts. Your aim should be to distract yourself.The techniques of reframing and distraction can alleviate depression and anxiety as well as anger. Add to them such relaxation techniques as deep breathing and meditation and you have an arsenal

15、of weapons against bad moods.1. What are gut feelings？ A. They are feelings one is born with. B. They are feelings one may be unaware of. C. They are feelings of fear and anxiety. D. They are feelings felt by sensible people.2. According to the author，the importance of knowing ones gut feelings is t

16、hat A. one can develop them. B. one can call others attention to them. C. one may get rid of them. D. one may control them. 3. The word “spice” in paragraph Six is closest in meaning to A. add interest to B. lengthen. C. make dull D. bring into existence. 4. On mood control, the author seems to sugg

17、est that we A. can control the occurrence of mood. B. are often unaware of what mood we are in. C. can determine the duration of mood. D. lack strategies for controlling moods. 5. The essence of “reframing” is A. to forget the unpleasant situation. B. to adopt a positive attitude. C. to protect ones

18、elf properly. D. to avoid road accidents.Passage Two The case for college has been accepted without question for more than a generation. All high school graduates ought to go, says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence, because college will help them earn more money, become better people, and

19、 learn to be more responsible citizens than those who dont go.But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending, those who dont fit the pattern are becoming more numerous, and more obvious. College graduates are selling

20、 shoes and driving taxis; college students interfere with each others experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the intense competition for admission to graduate school. Other find no stimulation in their studies, and drop outoften encouraged by college administrators.Some observers s

21、ay the fault is with the young people themselvesthey are spoiled and they are expecting too much. But that is a condemnation of the students as a whole, and doesnt explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right. We have been told that young people have

22、 to go to college because our economy cant absorb an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds. But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained twenty-two-year-olds, either.Some adventuresome educators and watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not

23、be the best, the proper, the only place for every young person after the completion of high school. We may have been looking at all those surveys and statistics upside down, it seems, and through the rosy glow of our own remembered college experiences. Perhaps college doesnt make people intelligent,

24、 ambitious, happy, liberal, or quick to learn thingsmay it is just the other way around, and intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, quick-learning people are merely the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place. And perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been suc

25、cessful whether they had gone to college or not. This is heresy to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good, more has to be much better. But contrary evidence is beginning to mount up.6. According to the author, _. A. people used to question the value of col

26、lege education. B. people used to have full confidence in higher education. C. all high school graduates went to college. D. very few high school graduates chose to go to college.7. In the 2nd paragraph, those who dont fit the pattern refer to_. A. high school graduates who arent suitable for colleg

27、e education. B. college graduates who are selling shoes and driving taxis. C. college students who arent any better for their higher education. D. high school graduates who failed to be admitted to college.8. The dropout rate of college students seems to go up because_. A. young people are disappoin

28、ted with the conventional way of teaching at college. B. many people are required to join the army. C. young people have little motivation in pursuing a higher education. D. young people dont like the intense competition for admission to graduate school.9. According to the passage, the problems of c

29、ollege education partly originate in the fact that_. A .society cannot provide enough jobs for properly trained graduates. B. High school graduates do not fit the pattern of college education. C. Too many students have to earn their own living. D. College administrators encourage students to drop ou

30、t.10. In this passage the author argues that_. A. college education is not enough if one wants to be successful. B. college education benefits only the intelligent, ambitious, and quick-learning people. C. intelligent people may learn quicker if they dont go to college.D. more and more evidence show

31、s college education may not be the best thing for high school graduates. Passage Three A controversy erupted in the scientific community in early 1998 over the use of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid ) fingerprinting in criminal investigations. DNA fingerprinting was introduced in 1987 as a method to iden

32、tify individuals based on a pattern seen in their DNA, the molecule of which genes are made. DNA is present in every cell of the body except red blood cells. DNA fingerprinting has been used successfully in various ways, such as to determine paternity where it is not clear who the father of a partic

33、ular child is. However, it is in the area of criminal investigations that DNA fingerprinting has potentially powerful and controversial uses. DNA fingerprinting and other DNA analysis techniques have revolutionized criminal investigations by giving investigators powerful new tools in the attempt to

34、trove guilt, not just establish innocence. When used in criminal investigations, a DNA fingerprint pattern from a suspect is compared with a DNA fingerprint pattern obtained from such material as hairs or blood found at the scene of a crime. A match between the two DNA samples can be used as evidenc

35、e to convict a suspect.The controversy in 1998 stemmed form a report published in December 1991 by population geneticists Richard C. Lewontin of Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass., and Daniel L. Hartl called into question the methods to calculate how likely it is that a match between two DNA fin

36、gerprints might occur by chance alone. In particular, they argued that the current method cannot properly determine the likelihood that two DNA samples will match because they came from the same individual rather than simply from two different individuals who are members of the same ethnic group. Le

37、wontin and Hartl called for better surveys of DNA patterns methods are adequate.In response to their criticisms, population geneticists Ranajit Chakraborty of the University of Texas in Dallas and Kenneth K.Kidd of Yale University in New Haven, Conn., argued that enough data are already available to

38、 show that the methods currently being used are adequate. In January 1998, however, the federal Bureau of Investigation and laboratories that conduct DNA tests announced that they would collect additional DNA samples form various ethnic groups in an attempt to resolve some of these questions. And, i

39、n April, a National Academy of Sciences called for strict standards and system of accreditation for DNA testing laboratories.11. Before DNA fingerprinting is used, suspects_. A. would have to leave their fingerprints for further investigations B. would have to submit evidence for their innocence C.

40、could easily escape conviction of guilt D. cold be convicted of guilt as well12. DNA fingerprinting can be unreliable when _. A .the methods used for blood- cell calculation are not accurate B. two different individuals of the same ethnic group may have the same DNA fingerprinting pattern C. a match

41、 is by chance left with fingerprints that happen to belong to two different individuals D. two different individuals leave two DNA samples.13. To geneticists like Lewontin and Hartl, the current method _. A. is not so convincing as to exclude the likelihood that two DNA samples can never come from t

42、wo individuals B. is arguable because two individuals of the same ethnic group are likely to have the same DNA pattern. C. is not based on adequate scientific theory of genetics D. is theoretically contradictory to what they have been studying14. The attitude of the Federal Bereau of Investigation s

43、hows that _. A. enough data are yet to be collected form various ethnic groups to confirm the unlikelihood of two DNA samples coming from two individual members B. enough data of DNA samples should be collected to confirm that only DNA samples form the same person can match C. enough data are yet to

44、 be collected from various ethnic groups to determine the likelihood of two different DNA samples coming form the same person 来D. additional samples from various ethnic groups should be collected to determine that two DNA samples are unlikely to come from the same person15. National Academy of Scien

45、ces holds the stance that _. A. DNA testing should be systematized B. Only authorized laboratories can conduct DNA testing C. the academy only is authorized to work out standards for testing D. the academy has the right to accredit laboratories for DNA testing Passage FourA. Consumer behavior is the

46、 behavior that consumers display in seeking, purchasing, using, evaluating and disposing of products and services that they expect will satisfy their personal needs. The study of consumer behavior is the study of how individuals make decisions to spend their available resources (money, time and effort) on products and services. Consumer behavior includes both mental decisions and the physical actions that result from those decisions. Although some social scientists limi
