26、   While IQ (Intelligence Quotient) tells you how smart you are. EQ (Emotional Quotient) tells you how well you use your smartness. Professor Salovery, the psychologist who created the term, EQ, says that it is IQ that gets you hired but it is EQ that gets you promoted.

Supported by his research, he suggested that when predicting future successes, a person’s brainpower, as measured by IQ tests, might actually matter less than a person’s character, or EQ. Professor Salovery may be correct. For example, have you ever wondered why some of the best and smartest students in your class end up failing exams? Perhaps it is because of their EQ. People often make the mistake of thinking that EQ is the opposite of IQ. It is not. Although it is hoped that people have both high EQs and IQs, there is little doubt that those with low EQs have a hard time surviving in life.

For a long time, researchers discussed if a person’s IQ could be raised. The geneticists said no, while the social scientists said yes. Furthermore, the social scientists said that it was possible to improve a person’s EQ, particularly in terms of “people skills”, such as understanding and communication.

Recently, a professor released the findings of a study on senior high school students. When some normal students were introduced to some disabled students, they found that afterwards they were more willing to help people in difficulties. At the same time, there was a marked change in the disabled students’ attitudes. They became more positive about their disabilities and were more eager to try new things. People with high EQs often have positive attitudes towards life and are open to different ideas, so they tend to be more creative in their thinking. Please remember that having a high IQ is helpful but having a high EQ might even be more helpful.

【1】According to Professor Salovery, what factor matters the most in predicting whether a person will be successful or not?

A.How a person tests his / her brainpower. B.A person’s character.

C.How smart a person is. D.A person’s IQ.

【2】What did the professor find from his study of normal students being introduced to some disabled children?

A.Students with disabilities were not open in trying new things.

B.There was no change in the normal students.

C.The disabled students became more positive and more eager to try new things.

D.The disabled students were more willing to help others.

【3】Which of the following would be the best title of this passage?

A.IQ, EQ and success. B.A person’s brainpower.

C.IQ and a person’s character. D.A person’s IQ and EQ.

27、Today China is the world’s biggest consumer of wheat. But it wasn’t always that way.

Wheat only came to the area now known as northern China toward the end of the Neolithic period, some 4,600 years ago. Initially, wheat didn’t seem to be so delicious and had been treated as a crop of desperation rather than a cooking delight. The first farmers of northern China primarily grew millet, starting as early as 11,500 years ago. By the time of the Tang dynasty, wheat had replaced millet, becoming a major crop. But relatively little was known about exactly why this shift occurred.

In an attempt to track the answer, I accumulated a collection of nearly 1,200 data points covering more than 50 sites from the mid-Neolithic, about 9,000 years ago, to the collapse of the Eastern Han dynasty in 220 AD. The sites were across 8 modern provinces, ranging from Gansu province in the northwest to Shandong province in the east.

One possible explanation is a major climate shift, called the Holocene Event 3, which happened 4,000 to 4,500 years ago. At that time, the climate became colder and drier across continents, causing damage to crop production.

On top of this, the late Neolithic period was also a time of rapid population growth around the world. With an ever-increasing population and unsteady crop production, it is reasonable to assume that Neolithic farmers in northern China were struggling.

Wheat, it turns out, actually needs more water than millet, making it seem a poor choice for a dry period of history. But importantly, it can be sowed after millet has been harvested. That, we think, is the most likely reason why the people across northern China started to grow wheat.

From more extreme weather to changing coastlines, climate change has always brought unexpected and sometimes dramatic changes to societies. In this instance, the consequence of the Holocene Event 3 in northern China proved, eventually, delicious.

【1】What can we learn about wheat from the second paragraph?

A．It replaced millet for its great taste.

B．It was a poor choice at the beginning.

C．It outnumbered millet 4,600 years ago.

D．It was the earliest crop grown in China.

【2】What do the figures in paragraph 3 show?

A．The author found the exact answer.

B．The author did worldwide research.

C．The author took the research seriously.

D．The author was good at collecting data.

【3】What was probably the main reason for northerners in China to grow wheat?

A．The water supply was enough then.

B．The harvest of millet was not satisfying.

C．It adjusted to the weather conditions better.

D．It had an alternative sowing season with millet.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．How was millet introduced to China?

B．Why did Chinese farmers switch to wheat?

C．Why did China become the biggest wheat consumer?

D．How was China’s wheat growth affected by climate change?

28、   Emergency knocks on the most unexpected time, so it is important to know how to give first aid, particularly in life-threatening situations. What's first aid? 【1】. Though each emergency condition is different, following correct first-aid steps can make a big difference between life and death.

First of all, call somebody for help or call the 911 emergency number. Before help arrives, the rules below can be applied to some emergencies.

Check the victim's breath and pulse. If no signs of breathing are clear and the pulse is weak,prepare for CPR（心肺复苏）. Never carry more than you can do. Do not do things beyond yourability. 【2】 Do what you can under the conditions at the time.

If the victim is hurt badly, check if the wound is deep and if he or she is bleeding. Find anything available to stop bleeding. Losing one third of blood, a person may be in great danger.

Remember: never try to move the victim away. 【3】 Especially there is a spinal injury.leaving the person where he is, provided he is breathing.

Keep calm and console（安慰）the victim. 【4】 It is important to stabilize（使稳定）the condition of the victim. Explain to her or him what is happening and that help has been called already.

Do not let other people crowd around the victim. Bystanders will be curious to have a look and offer their advice. 【5】 The victim may believe that the condition is worse than it really is.

A.Take necessary emergency steps.

B.You should help an injured person in any condition.

C.You could make an injury worse if you move the victim.

D.Nor should you do things if you are unfamiliar with them.

E.Acting calmly will make the victim relieved and feel safe.

F.Besides, they may say something about the victim's condition.

G.First aid is defined as the emergency care given to a sick or injured person.

29、   A sandstorm refers to a high amount of wind occurring in sandy areas, usually in deserts, where the wind speed is able to lift the top layer of sand from the ground, and push it in every direction. The sand involved in the sandstorm can reach heights of about 3. 05m—15. 24m.

It is very dangerous to experience a sandstorm. Sand can get into the nose, eyes, mouth and lungs. If you happen to be caught in a sandstorm, you must protect yourself by wearing masks, scarves and so on.

If you're driving when such a storm approaches, it’s advised that you pull off the road, since it's difficult to continue driving. This is also important since vehicles can fail in during sandstorms and you could end up stuck on the road.

Most sandstorms occur in spring, and during the daytime. Many of the areas around the Persian Gulf and the Sahara Desert are associated with the most serious storms. Since it's a natural phenomenon, it can't be entirely controlled. In areas that are natural desert regions, you can’t always prevent a sandstorm. There’s much evidence that the planet Mars has dust storms, and clearly, no human intervention (介入) is responsible for such. Though it can move whole sand dunes and destroy crops, a sandstorm is not without benefit.

【1】According to the passage, the sand involved in the sandstorm can reach at most ________ meters.

A．3.50

B．15. 24

C．3.05

D．15.42

【2】If you’re driving in a sandstorm, you'd better _________.

A．stop your car in the middle of the road

B．continue to make your way

C．stop and ask for help

D．stop your car on the side of the road

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Every Christmas Eve, a small white envelope is stuck among the branches of our Christmas tree. It has been there for the past ten years or so. There is a story behind such a special tradition.

It all began because my husband Justin hated Christmas—oh, not the true meaning of Christmas. Overspending was one thing, but compared to the difficult experience of choosing gifts—running around at the last minute to get a tie for Uncle Harry and a pair of gloves for Grandma…., spending money is nothing. I felt too tired to think of any special gifts.

Knowing Justin felt the same way, I decided one year not to buy the usual shirts, sweaters, ties and so on. I had an intention that I should reach for something special just for Justin. But it was really hard for me to decide what to do.

The inspiration came in an unusual way. Our son Kevin, who was 12 that year, was wrestling at the junior level at the school which he studied in and shortly before Christmas, there was a match against a team which was sponsored by an inner-city church. These youngsters were dressed in such worn-out shoes that shoe strings seemed to be the only thing holding them together. They even didn’t have their own team uniform while our boys were in their blue and gold uniforms and new wrestling shoes. Despite these facts, they seemed eager to win their medals and their eyes were full of self-confidence. But before the match, I seemed to have expected the result of the match.

As the match began, I was shocked to see that the other team was wrestling without wearing helmets (头盔) to protect their ears. Nothing was unexpected, our boys ended up defeating them. Our son’s team took every weight class.

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Justin, seated beside me, shook his head sadly.
