32. What is a common misunderstanding of emotional intelligence?
- A. It can be measured by an IQ test.
- B. It helps to exercise a person’s mind.
- C. It includes a set of emotional skills.
- D. It refers to a person’s positive qualities.
答案：D
答案句：Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a person's makeup that cannot be measured by an IQ test, such as character, motivation, confidence, mental stability, optimism and “people skills.”
参考译文：许多人现在误解情商，认为它是一个人身上几乎一切无法通过智商测试衡量的理想特质，比如性格、动机、自信、心理稳定、乐观和“人际交往能力”。
定位线索：题干“common misunderstanding”对应答案句“misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable”；文中“character, motivation, confidence, mental stability, optimism”对应选项D“positive qualities”。
解析：题干问的是对情商的常见误解，答案句直接指出许多人将情商误解为“几乎一切理想特质”，并列举了性格、动机等积极品质，与选项D“它指的是一个人的积极品质”同义转述。选项A与原文“cannot be measured by an IQ test”矛盾；选项B“锻炼思维”无中生有；选项C“一套情感技能”是作者对情商的正确描述，而非误解。
33. Why does the author mention “doctor” and “cheater” in paragraph 2?
- A. To explain a rule.
- B. To clarify a concept.
- C. To present a fact.
- D. To make a prediction.
答案：B
答案句：We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad purposes. The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how best to help her patients, while a cheater might use it to control potential victims.
参考译文：我们更愿意将情商描述为一套特定的技能，既可以用于好的目的，也可以用于坏的目的。准确理解他人感受的能力可能被医生用来找到帮助病人的最佳方法，而骗子可能用它来控制潜在的受害者。
定位线索：题干“doctor”和“cheater”对应答案句中“a doctor”和“a cheater”；例子前的观点句“a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad purposes”对应选项B“澄清一个概念”。
解析：题干问作者提到“医生”和“骗子”的目的。例子本身不是答案依据，例子前的观点句“情商是一套可用于好坏目的的技能”才是关键，医生和骗子分别代表好与坏的使用，正是为了澄清“情商”这个概念，对应选项B。选项A“解释规则”、C“陈述事实”、D“做出预测”均与例子作用不符。
34. What is the author’s attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligence?
- A. Favorable.
- B. Intolerant.
- C. Doubtful.
- D. Unclear.
答案：A
答案句：Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support, the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful. The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis (重视) on emotion by employers, educators and others interested in promoting social well-being. Th
参考译文：尽管关于情商的流行观念远远超出了研究能够合理支持的范围，但宣传的总体效果利大于弊。这种普及最积极的方面是雇主、教育工作者和其他致力于促进社会福祉的人对情感有了新的、急需的重视。
定位线索：题干“author's attitude”对应答案句中“more beneficial than harmful”和“most positive aspect”；文中“beneficial”和“positive”对应选项A“Favorable”。
解析：题干问作者对情商普及的态度。答案句明确说“总体效果利大于弊”，并称“最积极的方面”，直接体现作者支持态度，对应选项A“赞成的”。选项B“不容忍”、C“怀疑”、D“不清楚”均与原文“more beneficial than harmful”矛盾。
35. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning emotional intelligence?
- A. Its appeal to the public.
- B. Expectations for future studies.
- C. Its practical application.
- D. Scientists with new perspectives.
答案：B
答案句：Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable, we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion. It is our hope that in coming decades, advances in science will offer new perspectives (视角) from which to study how people manage their lives. Em
参考译文：尽管情商持续受到大众欢迎是可取的，但我们希望这种关注能激发人们对情感科学和学术研究的更大兴趣。我们希望在未来几十年里，科学的进步将为研究人们如何管理自己的生活提供新的视角。
定位线索：题干“last paragraph”对应答案句取自末段；文中“we hope”、“It is our hope”和“in coming decades”对应选项B“对未来研究的期望”。
解析：题干问最后一段主要谈论什么。末段首句提出希望关注能激发对情感科学研究的兴趣，第二句进一步展望未来科学进步提供新视角，核心是“期望”，对应选项B“对未来研究的期望”。选项A“对公众的吸引力”只是让步部分，非主旨；选项C“实际应用”和D“有新视角的科学家”均偏离段落重点。
