I loved my first grade teacher. Her name was Mrs. Gross but there was nothing gross (恶劣的) about her. She had such a sweet smile and kind way about her. I wasn’t sure what her age was at the time but she already looked very grand-motherly. She was soft spoken and had a very gentle sense of humor. Unlike some teachers she never shouted at or criticized her students. To me it felt like having a second grandmother as my teacher. Every day, I arrived at her classroom and sat happily at my desk with a big smile on my face. Throughout all my years of school I always remembered the times I spent in her classroom the most fondly.
One such memory is still with me to this day. We were doing math problems that were printed on the chalkboard while Mrs. Gross walked through the classroom checking on our work. I finished first and lifted my head up just as Mrs. Gross walked up behind me. She looked at my work and smiled. Then she said: “This is really good work, Joe. You are a very smart boy.” As she walked on she gently touched my shoulder and I got an exciting feeling in my heart. It felt so good to be seen. It felt so good to be appreciated. From that moment on I always tried my best. I always worked hard, I always wanted to be as smart as she thought I already was.
Would I have done as good in school or in life if I hadn’t had Mrs. Gross as my first grade teacher? I don’t think so. She awakened a desire in me to be the best person I could be. With her gentle love and encouragement I started down a wonderful path that I am sill on today, Mrs. Gross showed me just how much effect one soul can have on another.

Emotional intelligence is highly important in a teen’s development. There is considerable evidence pointing to its positive role in helping students deal with stress, develop relationships, and handle the transitions (过渡) facing them.
Emotional intelligence helps us manage negative emotions and our behaviors in response to them. So, does it impact on how teens and students perform academically? Some research does, in fact, suggest a relationship between emotional intelligence and academic achievement. In one study of education students at university, self-emotion appraisal (评价) and understanding of emotion were revealed to have positive significant linkages with their academic performance on assessments.
Later studies support this finding, with Sanchez-Ruiz and colleagues finding that emotional intelligence predicted academic performance better than established personality and cognitive (认知的) ability for Cyprus university students.
But what about teens specifically? Interestingly, there is also cogent evidence to suggest that teens with EI are better able to make the transition from high school to higher education. Results of a study of 1,426 first-year students found significantly higher interpersonal, stress management, and adaptability skills among students who were academically successful in entering university. The authors’ conclusion was that emotional intelligence has a large impact on students’ ability to deal with challenges such as developing new relationships and learning to live more independently, amongst other factors.
It is worth noting that while the studies above do provide evidence for some benefits of emotional intelligence skills for students, they don’t necessarily indicate an academic consensus (共识). As with most areas in the field, much room for future research remains. So interpersonal and emotional management skills may play a key part in helping students better handle the challenging aspects of academic life.
28. What can be inferred from paragraph 2?
A. Emotional intelligence is only helpful to negative emotions.
B. Evidence of the function of emotional intelligence isn’t enough.
C. Emotional intelligence is connected with academic performance.
D. Our behaviors can’t be treated with our emotional intelligence.
29. What does the underlined word “cogent” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Insufficient. B. Specific. C. Usual. D. Convincing.
30. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A Emotional intelligence equals academic performance
B. Much research is needed for emotional intelligence.
C. Emotional intelligence doesn’t adapt to teens yet.
D. Interpersonal management counts in learning languages.
31. What’s the suitable title for the text?
A. Emotional Intelligence is Important for Teens
B. Emotional Intelligence Means a Lot to Us All
C. We Should Develop Our Emotional Intelligence
D. We Need Further Study on Emotional Intelligence
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。讲述了情商在青少年的发展中非常重要。有大量证据表明，它在帮助学生应对压力、发展人际关系和处理过渡方面发挥了积极作用。同时，一些研究确实表明情商与学业成绩之间的关系。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Some research does, in fact, suggest a relationship between emotional intelligence and academic achievement.”（事实上，一些研究确实表明了情商和学业成绩之间的关系。）说明情绪智力与学习成绩有关。故选C项。
【29题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段的“Results of a study of 1,426 first-year students found significantly higher interpersonal, stress management, and adaptability skills among students who were academically successful in entering university. ”可知，一项针对1426名大一新生的研究发现，那些在学业上取得成功进入大学的学生的人际关系、压力管理和适应能力明显更高。由此推测，划线句子意为“有趣的是，也有令人信服的证据表明患有EI的青少年能够更好地从高中过渡到高等教育”，即划线词意为“令人信服的”，与Convincing同义。故选D项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“As with most areas in the field, much room for future research remains. ”（与该领域的大多数领域一样，未来的研究仍有很大空间。）说明我们从最后一段了解到，需要对情绪智力进行大量研究。故选B项。
【31题详解】
标题判断题。根据第一段“Emotional intelligence is highly important in a teen’s development.”（情商在青少年的发展中非常重要）、第二段“Emotional intelligence helps us manage negative emotions and our behaviors in response to them. ”（情商帮助我们管理负面情绪和我们的行为）以及后文内容，可知本文主要讲述了情商对青少年很重要。故选A项。
D
Fossilized (化石的) footprints found on a beach in southern Spain reveal what may have been a nursery for an extinct species of elephant.
The track-rich coastal site is typically covered by 1 1/2 meters of sand. Storm surges (风暴潮) in the spring of 2020 washed away much of that sand and exposed the preserved footprints of ancient elephants, cattle, deer, pigs, and so on. The sandy-clay sediments (沉淀物) hosting this treasure of tracks were probably laid down about 106,000 years ago, previous studies suggest.
Among the newly uncovered tracks are the first-of-their kind footprints of newborn straight-tusked elephants, an extinct species that probably died out during the last ice age. The teeny tracks — which measure 9.6 centimeters across, about the size of a drink coaster — suggest that the petite, possibly 2-month-old elephants stood about 66 centimeters tall at their shoulders and weighed around 70 kilograms, slightly heavier than a Newfoundland dog. Based on previous finds elsewhere of actual bones, adult straight-tusked elephants may have weighed 5.5 metric tons for females and 13 tons for males.
The mix of elephant tracks at the site suggests that family groups including newborns youngsters and adult females frequented the area and possibly used it as a nursery, the researchers say. Other fossils found at the site, including those preserving traces of ancient roots, indicate that the area was rich in vegetation and lakes and ponds.
The team’s findings “are a thrilling study,” says Anthony Martin, a trace fossil expert at Emory University in Atlanta, Series of footprints show how the ancient elephants were moving, offer insight into their social structure and even provide a sight of their reproductive ecology, he says, If newborns were part of the family group and “if they were acting anything like modern elephants, the mother had to be nearby,” Martin says.
What’s more, the presence of preserved Neandertal footprints at the site suggests that the ancient people hunted young elephants or other creatures, Martin says. The Neandertals “probably were not foolish enough to take on a full-sized elephant.”
32. What helped the discovery of elephants’ footprints in southern Spain?
A. People’s farming. B. The researchers’ efforts.
C. The bad weather. D. Records about the place.
33. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us?
A. The extinction of the elephants. B. Inferrence about the elephants.
C. The course of the new discovery. D. Weigh of straight-tusked elephants.
34. What can we know about the mix of elephant tracks?
A. The site was suitable for animals’ living.
B. Volcanoes must have happened in the site.
C. These tracks indicated the danger of the site.
D. Elephants’ enemies must have lived in the site.
35. What can the preserved Neandertal footprints show to us?
A. The slow growth of the elephants.
B. The movements of the elephants here.
C. The development of elephant species.
D. The living style of the local people.
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在西班牙南部海滩上发现大量的大象的化石脚印，由此推测那里也许大象主要活动场所和当时大象的，当时也许森林茂密，也可能有许多猎人在那里打猎。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The track-rich coastal site is typically covered by 1 1/2 meters of sand. Storm surges (风暴潮) in the spring of 2020 washed away much of that sand and exposed the preserved footprints of ancient elephants, cattle, deer, pigs, and so on. (跑道丰富的沿海场地通常覆盖着1 1/2米的沙子。风暴潮2020年春天，大量的沙子被冲走，留下了古大象、牛、鹿、猪等的足迹。)”可知，恶劣的天气有助于在西班牙南部发现大象的脚印。故选C项。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段大意及“Among the newly uncovered tracks are the first-of-their kind footprints of newborn straight-tusked elephants, an extinct species that probably died out during the last ice age.(在这些新发现的足迹中，有新生直牙象的第一个同类脚印，这是一种可能在上一个冰河时代灭绝的灭绝物种)”可知，本段主要介绍关于大象的推论。故选B项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The mix of elephant tracks at the site suggests that family groups including newborns, youngsters and adult females frequented the area and possibly used it as a nursery, the researchers say. (研究人员说，该地区的大象足迹混杂表明，包括新生儿、年轻人和成年女性在内的家庭群体经常光顾该地区，并可能将其用作托儿所)”可推知，混杂的大象足迹表明这个地点适合动物居住。故选A项。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“What’s more, the presence of preserved Neandertal footprints at the site suggests that the ancient people hunted young elephants or other creatures, Martin says. (马丁说，更重要的是，遗址上保存的尼安德特人脚印表明古代人猎杀年轻的大象或其他生物)”可知，保存下来的尼安德特人脚印可以向我们展示当地人的生活方式。故选D项。

由上一句“She has gone through a lot of interviews but never tasted the flavor of success. Same as Ann we can find lot of people who are in search of their success(她经历了很多面试，但从未尝到成功的滋味。和安一样，我们可以发现很多人在寻找他们的成功)”可知，很多人和安一样，由于缺乏面试技巧而总是失败，承接上文，F选项“This is all because of their bad presentation skills in the interviews.(这都是因为他们在面试中的表达技巧很差)”切题。该选项中的“because of their bad presentation skills”与上文中的“ never tasted the flavor of success”相呼应，指出了他们面试失败的原因。故选F项。
【37题详解】
该段标题“Problem solving skill.(解决问题的能力)”结合上一句提到“ Interviewers will look for someone who is a problem solver not a problem creator. In the interview, they ask questions to test your problem solving skills. Before you answer, just try to understand the question(面试官会寻找解决问题的人，而不是问题的创造者。在面试中，他们会问一些问题来测试你解决问题的能力。在你回答之前，试着理解这个问题)”承接上文，E选项“And then mention all the available possibilities in treating it.(然后提到所有可能的解决方法)”切题，该选项和主题呼应，进一步说明了在理解问题之后，怎样回答解决问题。故选E项。
【38题详解】
由下文中的“During the interview, you may face one or two difficult questions. The recruiters will judge your way of thinking and decision making skills with this kind of questions(在面试过程中，你可能会面临一两个难题。招聘人员会用这类问题来判断你的思维方式和决策技巧)”可知，本段主要阐述在面试过程中，要用批判性思维解决面试中招聘人员提出的问题。因此，A选项“Critical thinking(批判性思维)”作为本段标题，符合题意。故选A项。
【39题详解】
由该段标题“Decision making（决策）”及下文中的“Each decision you make is a way of solving a problem(你做的每一个决定都是解决问题的方法)”可知，本段主要阐述，生活中我们每天面对各种选择，要在各种选择中做出决策，C选项“Everyone has choices every day.(每个人每天都有很多选择)”切题，该选项承上启下，其中的“choices ”与下文“Each decision”相呼应。故选C项。
【40题详解】
由上文中的“The recruiters look for people who can show they solve problems. They will judge your decision-making skills with the act of choosing a solution from two or more courses of action for a problem(招聘人员寻找能够证明自己解决问题的人。他们会通过从两个或多个行动方案中选择解决方案来判断你的决策能力) ”可知，D选项“The key to these questions is to show your quick mind.(这些问题的关键是展示你的敏捷思维)”切题，该选项进一步阐述了面对招聘人员提出的不同的方案，最关键的是展示自己的敏捷思维来做出决策，故选D项。

【62题详解】
考查名词。句意：它是中越两国共有的跨国界瀑布，被誉为亚洲最大、世界第四大跨国界瀑布，宽200多米，垂直高度60多米。vertical是形容词，修饰名词，high的名词是height，是不可数名词，意为“高度”，故填height。
【63题详解】
考查介词和固定短语。句意：这个三层的瀑布被风景如画的喀斯特峰所环绕，有时还有梦幻般的薄雾，等等，使它更加壮观，使它成为最美丽的瀑布之一。add to是固定短语，意为“增加”，因此空格处是介词to，故填to。

【69题详解】
考查现在分词。句意：靠近瀑布时，你可能会感觉到瀑布喷出的水花，这有助于降温。分析句子结构可知，句中谓语是feel，空格处用非谓语动词，get up和主语you之间是主谓关系，因此空格处用现在分词表主动，位于句首，首字母大写，故填Getting。

I loved my first grade teacher. Her name was Mrs. Gross but there was nothing gross (恶劣的) about her. She had such a sweet smile and kind way about her. I wasn’t sure what her age was at the time but she already looked very grand-motherly. She was soft spoken and had a very gentle sense of humor. Unlike some teachers she never shouted at or criticized her students. To me it felt like having a second grandmother as my teacher. Every day, I arrived at her classroom and sat happily at my desk with a big smile on my face. Throughout all my years of school I always remembered the times I spent in her classroom the most fondly.
One such memory is still with me to this day. We were doing math problems that were printed on the chalkboard while Mrs. Gross walked through the classroom checking on our work. I finished first and lifted my head up just as Mrs. Gross walked up behind me. She looked at my work and smiled. Then she said: “This is really good work, Joe. You are a very smart boy.” As she walked on she gently touched my shoulder and I got an exciting feeling in my heart. It felt so good to be seen. It felt so good to be appreciated. From that moment on I always tried my best. I always worked hard, I always wanted to be as smart as she thought I already was.
Would I have done as good in school or in life if I hadn’t had Mrs. Gross as my first grade teacher? I don’t think so. She awakened a desire in me to be the best person I could be. With her gentle love and encouragement I started down a wonderful path that I am sill on today, Mrs. Gross showed me just how much effect one soul can have on another.

Emotional intelligence is highly important in a teen’s development. There is considerable evidence pointing to its positive role in helping students deal with stress, develop relationships, and handle the transitions (过渡) facing them.
Emotional intelligence helps us manage negative emotions and our behaviors in response to them. So, does it impact on how teens and students perform academically? Some research does, in fact, suggest a relationship between emotional intelligence and academic achievement. In one study of education students at university, self-emotion appraisal (评价) and understanding of emotion were revealed to have positive significant linkages with their academic performance on assessments.
Later studies support this finding, with Sanchez-Ruiz and colleagues finding that emotional intelligence predicted academic performance better than established personality and cognitive (认知的) ability for Cyprus university students.
But what about teens specifically? Interestingly, there is also cogent evidence to suggest that teens with EI are better able to make the transition from high school to higher education. Results of a study of 1,426 first-year students found significantly higher interpersonal, stress management, and adaptability skills among students who were academically successful in entering university. The authors’ conclusion was that emotional intelligence has a large impact on students’ ability to deal with challenges such as developing new relationships and learning to live more independently, amongst other factors.
It is worth noting that while the studies above do provide evidence for some benefits of emotional intelligence skills for students, they don’t necessarily indicate an academic consensus (共识). As with most areas in the field, much room for future research remains. So interpersonal and emotional management skills may play a key part in helping students better handle the challenging aspects of academic life.
28. What can be inferred from paragraph 2?
A. Emotional intelligence is only helpful to negative emotions.
B. Evidence of the function of emotional intelligence isn’t enough.
C. Emotional intelligence is connected with academic performance.
D. Our behaviors can’t be treated with our emotional intelligence.
29. What does the underlined word “cogent” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Insufficient. B. Specific. C. Usual. D. Convincing.
30. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A Emotional intelligence equals academic performance
B. Much research is needed for emotional intelligence.
C. Emotional intelligence doesn’t adapt to teens yet.
D. Interpersonal management counts in learning languages.
31. What’s the suitable title for the text?
A. Emotional Intelligence is Important for Teens
B. Emotional Intelligence Means a Lot to Us All
C. We Should Develop Our Emotional Intelligence
D. We Need Further Study on Emotional Intelligence
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。讲述了情商在青少年的发展中非常重要。有大量证据表明，它在帮助学生应对压力、发展人际关系和处理过渡方面发挥了积极作用。同时，一些研究确实表明情商与学业成绩之间的关系。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Some research does, in fact, suggest a relationship between emotional intelligence and academic achievement.”（事实上，一些研究确实表明了情商和学业成绩之间的关系。）说明情绪智力与学习成绩有关。故选C项。
【29题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段的“Results of a study of 1,426 first-year students found significantly higher interpersonal, stress management, and adaptability skills among students who were academically successful in entering university. ”可知，一项针对1426名大一新生的研究发现，那些在学业上取得成功进入大学的学生的人际关系、压力管理和适应能力明显更高。由此推测，划线句子意为“有趣的是，也有令人信服的证据表明患有EI的青少年能够更好地从高中过渡到高等教育”，即划线词意为“令人信服的”，与Convincing同义。故选D项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“As with most areas in the field, much room for future research remains. ”（与该领域的大多数领域一样，未来的研究仍有很大空间。）说明我们从最后一段了解到，需要对情绪智力进行大量研究。故选B项。
【31题详解】
标题判断题。根据第一段“Emotional intelligence is highly important in a teen’s development.”（情商在青少年的发展中非常重要）、第二段“Emotional intelligence helps us manage negative emotions and our behaviors in response to them. ”（情商帮助我们管理负面情绪和我们的行为）以及后文内容，可知本文主要讲述了情商对青少年很重要。故选A项。

Fossilized (化石的) footprints found on a beach in southern Spain reveal what may have been a nursery for an extinct species of elephant.
The track-rich coastal site is typically covered by 1 1/2 meters of sand. Storm surges (风暴潮) in the spring of 2020 washed away much of that sand and exposed the preserved footprints of ancient elephants, cattle, deer, pigs, and so on. The sandy-clay sediments (沉淀物) hosting this treasure of tracks were probably laid down about 106,000 years ago, previous studies suggest.
Among the newly uncovered tracks are the first-of-their kind footprints of newborn straight-tusked elephants, an extinct species that probably died out during the last ice age. The teeny tracks — which measure 9.6 centimeters across, about the size of a drink coaster — suggest that the petite, possibly 2-month-old elephants stood about 66 centimeters tall at their shoulders and weighed around 70 kilograms, slightly heavier than a Newfoundland dog. Based on previous finds elsewhere of actual bones, adult straight-tusked elephants may have weighed 5.5 metric tons for females and 13 tons for males.
The mix of elephant tracks at the site suggests that family groups including newborns youngsters and adult females frequented the area and possibly used it as a nursery, the researchers say. Other fossils found at the site, including those preserving traces of ancient roots, indicate that the area was rich in vegetation and lakes and ponds.
The team’s findings “are a thrilling study,” says Anthony Martin, a trace fossil expert at Emory University in Atlanta, Series of footprints show how the ancient elephants were moving, offer insight into their social structure and even provide a sight of their reproductive ecology, he says, If newborns were part of the family group and “if they were acting anything like modern elephants, the mother had to be nearby,” Martin says.
What’s more, the presence of preserved Neandertal footprints at the site suggests that the ancient people hunted young elephants or other creatures, Martin says. The Neandertals “probably were not foolish enough to take on a full-sized elephant.”
32. What helped the discovery of elephants’ footprints in southern Spain?
A. People’s farming. B. The researchers’ efforts.
C. The bad weather. D. Records about the place.
33. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us?
A. The extinction of the elephants. B. Inferrence about the elephants.
C. The course of the new discovery. D. Weigh of straight-tusked elephants.
34. What can we know about the mix of elephant tracks?
A. The site was suitable for animals’ living.
B. Volcanoes must have happened in the site.
C. These tracks indicated the danger of the site.
D. Elephants’ enemies must have lived in the site.
35. What can the preserved Neandertal footprints show to us?
A. The slow growth of the elephants.
B. The movements of the elephants here.
C. The development of elephant species.
D. The living style of the local people.
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. A 35. D
【解析】

Storm surges (风暴潮) in the spring of 2020 washed away much of that sand and exposed the preserved footprints of ancient elephants, cattle, deer, pigs, and so on. (跑道丰富的沿海场地通常覆盖着1 1/2米的沙子。风暴潮2020年春天，大量的沙子被冲走，留下了古大象、牛、鹿、猪等的足迹。)”可知，恶劣的天气有助于在西班牙南部发现大象的脚印。故选C项。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段大意及“Among the newly uncovered tracks are the first-of-their kind footprints of newborn straight-tusked elephants, an extinct species that probably died out during the last ice age.(在这些新发现的足迹中，有新生直牙象的第一个同类脚印，这是一种可能在上一个冰河时代灭绝的灭绝物种)”可知，本段主要介绍关于大象的推论。故选B项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The mix of elephant tracks at the site suggests that family groups including newborns, youngsters and adult females frequented the area and possibly used it as a nursery, the researchers say. (研究人员说，该地区的大象足迹混杂表明，包括新生儿、年轻人和成年女性在内的家庭群体经常光顾该地区，并可能将其用作托儿所)”可推知，混杂的大象足迹表明这个地点适合动物居住。故选A项。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“What’s more, the presence of preserved Neandertal footprints at the site suggests that the ancient people hunted young elephants or other creatures, Martin says. (马丁说，更重要的是，遗址上保存的尼安德特人脚印表明古代人猎杀年轻的大象或其他生物)”可知，保存下来的尼安德特人脚印可以向我们展示当地人的生活方式。故选D项。
