I.阅读理解[2015 •江西新余一中高三第三次模拟]

  A scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offer?ing each of some four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it. Some children reach eagerly for the treat they see. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait until the last moment.

By the time the children reach high school something remarkable has happened. A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular adventurous confident and de?pendable. The children who gave in to temptation early were more likely to be lonely easily frustrated and inflexible(顽固的）.

Actually ， the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotion?al intelligence which doesn't show up on an IQ test.

The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists' concerns. But brain theory can't explain what we wonder about most like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant soul.

Here comes the theory of Daniel Goleman writer of Emotional Intelligence ： when it comes to predicting people's success brain ability as measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as "character".

EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together; how one's ability to handle stress for instance affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use. Among the ele?ments for success researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20 % ； the rest depends on everything from social class to luck.

While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously some few fear EQ invites misuse.

Answer 1

I.阅读理解[文章大意]本文是一篇科普文，文章通过一个对四岁孩子的a我控制能力的测试实验告诉我们有时候情商比智商更重要。文章同时还解释了一些相关的理论研究。1. D推理判断题。根据文章第二段第二句"A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular adventurous confident and dependable."可知，那些在四岁时就学会自我控制的孩子长大后更容易成功，即自我控制能力在个人成功方面更为重要。故选D项。2.A 细节理解题。根据文章第六段的"EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together; how one's ability to handle stress for instance affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use.，，可知，研究人员一直在研究情商和智商是如何一起起作用的。故选A项。3.A 词义猜S!(题。根据"But brain theory can't explain what we wonder about most like the question why some people remain up?beat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant soul." 可知，此处语境表达的意思是：大脑的理论无法解释在面临麻烦时有些人为什么仍然能保持乐观，但是面对同样的困难另一些人则会崩溃。故选A项。4. C 推理判断题。根据文章最后一句"…some few fear EQ invites misuse."可知，一些人担心情商被误用，据此推断下文可能要讲述有关情商的一些负面的事情。故选C项。
