26、You might have ever noticed how some people can effortlessly talk to anyone they meet, no matter how different their backgrounds are. Or you may have seen that one person always offends someone, no matter what the topic of conversation is. These two situations describe how we can differ in our abilities to interact, get along with, and relate to others around us. In the same way that we vary in traditional academic competencies, we can vary in how socially competent we are. After years of academic research and development, this social ability is now commonly referred to as “social intelligence.”

Social intelligence is the ability to understand other people, how they work, what motivates them, and how to work cooperatively with them. It is a relationship­based construct that centers on the way we understand others, interact with others, and present ourselves to others. As an example, you would not speak in the same way toward your 70-­year-­old mother as you would to your 16-­year­old daughter. In our working lives, we come across different social groups including those from different countries, varying age groups and cultural identities. Being able to acknowledge and understand people’s different backgrounds is a key way to connect with them.

Our ability to navigate successfully through our lives relies heavily on our levels of social intelligence. It can affect the relationships we form with our partners and children, the friendship circles that we build, and our ability to progress in our careers and ambitions. Given the importance of social intelligence in multiple aspects of life, it is therefore in our best interest to better understand the concept of social intelligence and take the following ways to improve it.

【1】What is the first paragraph intended to show?

A．Academic research varies from person to person.

B．Social competencies are crucial to academic research.

C．Social competencies are of difference person to person.

D．Academic research shows people’s social competencies.

【2】Why does the author use the example of mother and daughter?

A．To present a fact.

B．To justify an idea.

C．To introduce a topic.

D．To draw a conclusion.

【3】What do we know from the third paragraph?

A．It is difficult to develop social intelligence.

B．Our relationship circles should be enlarged.

C．Better understanding a concept is important.

D．Social intelligence has great effects on our lives.

【4】What may be talked about following the last paragraph?

A．How to define social intelligence.

B．How to classify social intelligence.

C．How to improve social intelligence.

D．How to deal with social intelligence.

27、Professor Barry Wellman of the University of Toronto in Canada has invented a term to describe the way many North Americans interact (互动) these days. The term is "networked individualism". This concept is not easy to understand because the words seem to have opposite meanings. How can we be individuals (个体) and be networked at the same time? You need other people for networks.

Here is what Professor Wellman means. Before the invention of the Internet and e-mail, our social networks included live interactions with relatives, neighbors, and friends. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it was still voice to voice, person to person, in real time.

A recent research study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project showed that for a lot of people, electronic interaction through the computer has replaced this person-to-person interaction. However, a lot of people interviewed for the Pew study say that's a good thing. Why?

In the past, many people were worried that the Internet isolated (孤立) us and caused us to spend too much time in the imaginary world of the computer. But the Pew study discovered that the opposite is true. The Internet connects us with more real people than expected－helpful people who can give advice on careers, medical problems, raising children, and choosing a school or college. About 60 million Americans told Pew that the Internet plays an important role in helping them make major life decisions.

Thanks to the computer. We are able to be alone and together with other people－at the same time!

【1】The underlined phrase "networked individualism" probably means that by using computers people ________.

A. have the rights and freedom to do things of their own interest

B. are able to keep to themselves but at the same time reach out to other people

C. do things in their own ways and express opinions different from other people

D. stick to their own ways no matter what other people say

【2】It can be inferred from the Pew study that ________.

A. people have been separated from each other by using computers

B. the Internet makes people waste a lot of time and feel very lonely

C. the Internet has become a tool for a new kind of social communication

D. a lot of people regard the person-to-person communication as a good thing.

【3】According to the Pew study, what do many people rely on to make major life decision?

A. Parents.   B. Friends.   C. Phones.   D. Network.

【4】Which would be the best title for this passage?

A. We're Alone on the Internet   B. We're Communicating on the Internet

C. We're Alone Together on the Internet   D. We're in the Imaginary World of the Internet

28、Women have been making scientific discoveries since ancient times. Dozens of women have won the Nobel Prize in science, one of the highest honors in the world. Some women scientists never married, some worked with their husbands, and others raised large families. It has been difficult for women to be successful scientists.

In the early 1800s in England, Mary Anning became one of the first women recognized for her discoveries about the ancient history of the earth. Mary and her father collected fossils in their village on the south coast of Great Britain. Fossils are parts of plants or animals that have been saved in rocks for millions of years.

When she was only twelve years old, Mary became the first person to find the almost complete skeletons of several animals that no longer existed on earth. She didn’t become famous for her discoveries at that time because she often sold her fossils to get money to support her family.

In 1891, a young Polish woman named Marie Sklodowska traveled to Paris to study physics. She did so because she could not get a college education in Poland. She began working in the laboratory of a man named Pierre Curie. Marie and Pierre Curie got married and made many discoveries together. They received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903 along with another scientist. Marie Curie became the first person to be awarded a second Nobel Prize in 1911, this time in Chemistry. Marie Curie was one of the few women at the time that became famous as a scientist.

29、Louis Armstrong had two famous nicknames (绰号). Some people called him Bagamo. They said his mouth looked like a large bag. Musicians often called him Pops, as a sign of respect for his influence on the world of music.

Born in 1901 in New Orleans, he grew up poor, but lived among great musicians. Jazz was invented in the city a few years before his birth. Armstrong often said, “Jazz and I grew up together.”

Armstrong showed a great talent for music when he was taught to play the cornet (短号) at a boy’s home. In his late teens, Armstrong began to live the life of a musician.

Armstrong learned from the older musicians and soon became respected as their equal. In 1922 he went to Chicago. There, the tale of Louis Armstrong begins. From then until the end of his life, Armstrong was celebrated and loved wherever he went. Armstrong had no equal when it came to playing the American popular song.

His cornet playing had a deep humanity (仁爱) and warmth that caused many listeners to say, “Listening to Pops just makes you feel good all over.” He was the father of the jazz style and also one of the best-known and most admired people in the world.

31、Directions: Complete the following passages by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

As dusk falls at the Lehua Night Market, the fluorescent (荧光的) lights flicker on and the hungry customers start trickling in, anxious for a taste of the local delicacies that give this island its reputation as one of Asia’s finest cookery 【1】 .

Nearly arranged pyramids of plump fish balls, bowls filled with tapioca balls 【2】  in lightly sweetened sauce, sizzling oyster omelets, hot off the griddle, deep-fried sweet potato puffs (冒热气), still 【3】 with oil. Take a bite of any of these dishes and you’ll discover a unique texture. But how exactly do you 【4】 that perfect “mouth feel” so sought after by local cooks and eaters alike? Slippery? Chewy? Not exactly.

Luckily, the people in Taiwan have a word for this texture. Well, actually, it’s not a word, it’s a letter—one that even non-Chinese speakers can pronounce.

It’s “Q.” Basically, it means springy, soft, elastic.

Andre Chiang, a Michelin-star chef and owner of RAW in Taipei, said he has been 【5】 with the texture at his restaurant, which uses only local materials. “It’s like aldente (筋道) but not quite,” Mr. Chiang said.

Q is so well 【6】 in Taiwan that many in Hong Kong and across the Taiwan Strait in mainland China use the term as well.

There are many other uses for the term Q in Chinese as well. It could be used, for example, as short form for the English word “【7】”, or to refer to the once-popular QQ messaging service from Tencent.

Among the local people, the 【8】 for Q texture starts at a young age. On a recent sticky evening at the Lehua Night Market, a group of people gathered at stand with a sign that 【9】 “QQ ice lolly.” Asked why Q texture was so 【10】 to Taiwanese, Lu Wei-chen, the owner of the stand, smiled as she handed a bright red jelly bar to a delighted toddler.

“It’s simple,” she said. “When you eat it, you will be in a good mood.”

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。

When I was young, I lived in a small village in Melaka. We lived in a house in a row of shop houses. The spirit of neighborliness was very strong then. We needn’t lock the doors of our houses by day or night. The village had a variety of trades to serve the needs of the villagers. There was s barber, tailor, coffee shop owner, grocer, baker, electrician, plumber, and so on. All of us were quite poor by today’s standards but we got by. However, one family that could be considered to live a marginal(边界的) existence was the Lim family living in the bicycle shop opposite our house.

Mr Lim, the bicycle mechanic, had quite a few children—twelve to be exact. The joke among the neighbors was that he was aiming to form a football team among his children. How-ever, seriously speaking, it was no joke for him trying to feed his growing children daily.

My mother was a kind-hearted woman. Often, she would remark that his children were dressed in ragged(破旧的) clothes and looked malnourished(营养不良的). My family was relatively rich in the village and my father was the headman. My mother would bring over whatever food we could spare to our neighbors. On occasions when there was leftover food from village weddings or festivals, my father would ask me to take the food to Mr Lim. I did not mind visiting Lim’s bicycle shop as I had an interest in bicycles.

I shared a room with my brothers overlooking the bicycle shop. I was interested in the re-pair of bicycles and would often stare out of the window to see Mr Lim work. As time went on, I noticed Mr Lim become more and more cheerful. The number of customers at his shop had increased steadily. He sold many shiny new bicycles.

注意：

1.续写词数应为150左右；

Soon, Mr Lim’s business became better and better with the help of his eldest son.
