專題限時檢測(二十六)任務(wù)型閱讀(一)(限時24分鐘)A(2019南京、鹽城一模)As the concept of emotional intelligence (EI) has gone global, weve watched professionals fail as they try to improve their emotional intelligence because they either dont know where to focus their efforts or they havent understood how to improve these skills on a practical level.In our work consulting with companies and coaching leaders, we have found that if youre looking to develop particular EI strengths, it helps to consider areas for improvement others have identified along with the goals you want to achieve and then to actively build habits in those areas rather than simply relying on understanding them conceptually.The first step is to get a sense of how your selfperception (how you see yourself) differs from your reputation (how others see you)This is especially true for the development of emotional intelligence because we can be blind to how we express and read the emotional components of our interactions.For example, most of us think that were good listeners, but very often thats really not the case.Without this external reality check, it will be difficult for you to identify the ways that your actions affect your performance.Getting feedback from others can also provide proof of the necessity of shifting our behavior and motivation to do so.To give you the best sense of where the differences lie between your selfperception and reputation, you should use a 360 degree feedback assessment that takes into account the multiple facets of EI.The key is to find one that guarantees confidentiality to those giving you feedback and that is focused on development and not on performance assessment.Secondly, when you get your feedback from an assessment, let that inform what you want to improve.But also consider what your goals are.When it comes to cultivating strengths in emotional intelligence, youre at a huge disadvantage if youre only interested because others said you should be.Your emotional intelligence is so tied up in your sense of self that being intrinsically (內(nèi)在地) motivated to make the effort matters more when changing longstanding habits than it does when simply learning a skill.That means the areas that you choose to actively work on should lie at the intersection of the feedback youve gotten and the areas that are most important to your own aspirations (渴望)Understanding the impacts of your current EI habits relative to your goals will keep you going over the long haul as you do the work of strengthening your emotional intelligence.Once youve determined which EI skills you want to focus on, identify specific actions that youll take.If youre working on becoming a better listener, for example, you might decide that when youre conversing with someone youll take the time to pause, listen to what they have to say, and check that you understand before you reply.Keep it specific.You should also take every naturally occurring opportunity to practice the skill youre developing, no matter how small.By starting to change your routine reactions, youll be well on your way to figuring out the old habits that arent serving you well and transforming them into new, improved ones that do.Passage outlineSupporting detailsIntroductionThough globally acknowledged, EI still (1)_professionals, for they arent aware how to improve it.Approaches to strengthening EISpot the (2)_ between selfperception and reputation With external reality check, we are (3)_ of understanding our interactions accurately.We are (4)_to change our

on improving ourselves instead of just learning a skill.(8)_the outside feedback with our goals can give us support on the way to strengthening our EI.Identify what changeswe will make Be (9)_about

goals to strengthen your EI.語篇解讀：本文主要講述了提高情商的方法。1confuses/puzzles根據(jù)第一段第一句可知隨著情商(EI)的概念已經(jīng)全球化，我們已經(jīng)看到一些專業(yè)人士在試圖提高自己的情商時失敗了，情商讓他們很困惑，不知道該怎么提高。2differences根據(jù)文章第二段的內(nèi)容“The first step is to get a sense of how your selfperception (how you see yourself) differs from your reputation (how others see you)”可知，第一步要弄清自我認(rèn)知和聲譽之間的不同之處，故將differ轉(zhuǎn)變成differences。3capable根據(jù)第三段的第三句“Without this external reality check, it will be difficult for you to identify the ways that your actions affect your performance.”可知，如果沒有這種外界的檢驗，你就很難確定你的行為會如何影響你的表現(xiàn)。有了這種檢驗，我們就能夠準(zhǔn)確理解我們的內(nèi)在行為了。be capable of doing sth.“能夠做某件事”，固定搭配。4motivated根據(jù)第三段最后一句“Getting feedback from others can also provide proof of the necessity of shifting our behavior and motivation to do so.”可知，從別人那里得到反饋也可以證明我們有必要改變我們的行為和動機。motivation轉(zhuǎn)化成motivated。 5assess該題是第四段第一句“.you should use a 360 degree feedback assessment that takes into account the multiple facets of EI.”的信息轉(zhuǎn)換，故將assessment轉(zhuǎn)化成assess。6matters/counts根據(jù)第五段最后一句“Your emotional intelligence is so tied up in your sense of self that being intrinsically (內(nèi)在地) motivated to make the effort matters more when changing longstanding habits than it does when simply learning a skill.”可知，要改變一個長期的習(xí)慣，內(nèi)在的動力要比學(xué)習(xí)一項技能要重要很多。所以要提高情商，我們必須搞清楚什么才是最重要的。 7recognize/know/identify根據(jù)第五段第一句“when you get your feedback from an assessment, let that inform what you want to improve.But also consider what your goals are.”可知，當(dāng)你從評估中得到反饋時，讓它告訴你想要改進(jìn)什么。但也要考慮你的目標(biāo)是什么。所以要知道自己的目標(biāo)。8Combining根據(jù)第六段第一句“That means the areas that you choose to actively work on should lie at the intersection of the feedback youve gotten and the areas that are most important to your own aspirations(渴望)”可知，這意味著你選擇積極工作的領(lǐng)域應(yīng)該處于你得到的反饋和對你自己認(rèn)為最重要的領(lǐng)域的交叉點上。因此，要把外部反饋和自我目標(biāo)相結(jié)合，故答案是combining。 9specific/clear/explicit根據(jù)第七段第一句“Once youve determined which EI skills you want to focus on, identify specific actions that youll take.”可知，一旦你決定了你想專注于哪些EI技能，你就要確定你將采取的具體行動。關(guān)注到文本中的specific即可。10Remove/Abandon/Quit根據(jù)最后一段的內(nèi)容可知通過開始改變你的日常反應(yīng)，你將會有可能發(fā)現(xiàn)那些對你無益的舊習(xí)慣，并將它們轉(zhuǎn)化為新的、改進(jìn)過的習(xí)慣。因此要去除無用的舊習(xí)慣。B(2019鎮(zhèn)江一模)Decoding the young brainThere was a funny experiment to see how a young child would answer a specific question compared to an adult.After the adult had spent some time speaking with the child, he asked the child, “What do you think about me？” The child answered, “You talk too much.” When the adult performed the same experiment with another adult, the reply to the same question was, “I think youre a very interesting person.” Even if the adult felt the same way as the child, his brain allowed him to take a moment，consider the question, and come up with an answer.He could have been annoyed, but his answer didnt reflect it because he was being polite.The secret lies in the science of the developing brain.The childs honest answer was reflected in the fact that his brain wasnt equipped to filter(過濾) information before answering the question.As a result, he was honest, but he said something that may have been hurtful.However, the child did not intentionally hurt the adult; its just the way his brain works.As a child grows into adolescence and then into adulthood, that changes.The human brain is made up of billions of neurons(神經(jīng)元)In order for our body to execute a command, like getting up from a chair and walking to the other room, the neurons in the brain have to communicate with each other.They also help us employ our senses like taste and touch and help us remember things.When the neurons send messages, perhaps one sensation(感覺) the person feels is excitement about eating a cookie because it is so delicious.Later, if that person smells a cookie or hears someone talking about a cookie, it can spark the electrical signals that call up the memory of eating the delicious cookie.In an adult, he or she may remember that eating too many cookies can have consequences, like weight gain.But because the younger brain is more impulsive(沖動的), the desire to feel the pleasure of the sweet treat outweighs the consequences.That is because when a child is young, his brain is “wired” in such a way that he seeks pleasure and is more willing to take risks than an adult.This affects his decisionmaking process and it is why younger people tend to be more impulsive.Sometimes parents have to tell their children over and over again before the child remembers that something is dangerous or risky.How many times have we heard a parent say, “I tell her this all the time, but she never listens！”To conclude, what we know about the young brain is that children are more likely than adults to be impulsive.It isnt always necessarily because they are being naughty; it may very well be because of their brains.So the next time you ask a child what he really thinks of you, be prepared for any kind of answer.Decoding the young brainAn experiment on a young childA young child answered the question (1)_ the top of his head while an adult paused, and (2)_ twice before he found an answer.Causes of the (3)_reflectedin theexperiment The developing brain of the young child contributed to his honest answer.He was more likely to hurt or offend others (4)_ he didnt intend to do so.Its just the way his brain works and with him growing up, that

his young brain.This affects his decisionmaking process and it is why younger people act in an impulsive way.Warned many times before, a young child will still try something (8)_ or risky.A conclusion drawn from the experimentAn adults ability to control his impulses is much (9) _ and a young child is not (10)_ being naughty when they make hurtful or offensive answers.語篇解讀：本文主要解碼了年輕的大腦為什么回答問題會不假思索，是因為他們的大腦更容易沖動。1offoff the top of ones head “不假思索”，固定短語。2thoughtthink twice 仔細(xì)考慮，三思而后行。3phenomenon實驗中這種現(xiàn)象產(chǎn)生的原因。4although/though他很有可能會傷害到別人，盡管他自己不想這樣做。根據(jù)句子的邏輯關(guān)系可知用though或者although，表示讓步。5making根據(jù)第三段第一句“The human brain is made up of billions of neurons (神經(jīng)元)”，可知答案為is made up of的轉(zhuǎn)換，此處作定語，故填making。6associate根據(jù)第四段第二句“Later, if that person smells a cookie or hears someone talking about a cookie, it can spark the electrical signals that call up the memory of eating the delicious cookie.”可知，一個人聞到甜餅的味道會聯(lián)想到吃甜點的記憶。associate .with .“把和聯(lián)系起來”。7tendency根據(jù)第四段最后一句“But because the younger brain is more impulsive(沖動的), the desire to feel the pleasure of the sweet treat outweighs the consequences.”可知，年輕孩子的大腦更容易沖動，所以他們更有可能冒險去體驗甜餅的滋味。tendency可能性。8dangerous根據(jù)第五段第三句“Sometimes parents have to tell their children over and over again .is dangerous or risky.”可知，盡管被一再的警告，孩子還是會接觸危險的事物。9stronger/greater根據(jù)最后一段第一句“children are more likelythan adults to be impulsive”可知，孩子更加容易沖動，也就是大人的大腦抑制沖動能力更好更強。10necessarily根據(jù)最后一段第二句“It isnt always necessarily because they are being naughty”，可知答案。7
