The STAR Eco Station is an environmental science museum, a wildlife rescue center, and a shelter for endangered and illegally-traded foreign animals confiscated (没收) by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It carries out the mission “Preservation through Education” by educating visitors about the preservation of the environment and the inter-dependence of all living things.
Field trips
STAR Eco Station hosts field trips for schools and camps throughout Southern California. Each field trip lasts two hours, consisting of a one-hour gathering and a one-hour tour of the facility, with lessons associated with California State Science Standards.
Throughout the field trip, students learn about the latest developments in environmental protection and the ways in which wildlife interacts with various ecosystems. The students also receive an up-close and hands-on experience with our rescued foreign wildlife. The tour includes different environmental exhibits that showcase the ways students can help protect animals in the wild.
Field trips are offered on weekdays only, from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. or 12 p.m.-2 p.m. The rate is $6 per visitor, both child and adult, with a $120 minimum. We offer one free adult per 10 children for groups of 40 or more. Maximum capacity is 120 people per field trip.
Public tours
Guided tours of the STAR Eco Station introduce visitors to over two hundred rescued foreign wildlife. Each tour is led by an Eco Station staff member, and features fun animal facts, hands-on animal encounters, surprising rescue stories, environmental exhibits, and original approaches to going green. Visitors may only see the animals on a guided tour, for both your safety and the safety of our animals.
The guided tour lasts approximately 45-60 minutes. Public tours are offered on Saturday and Sunday, from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. (last tour begins at 3 p.m.). Our guided public tours start every hour on the hour. Visitors are served on a first-come, first-served basis. No reservations are required. However, tours may sell out. We suggest larger groups schedule a private tour.

Jose Alberto Gutierrez’s life would never be the same again after finding a copy of Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy in the garbage 20 years ago. It happened while he was driving his garbage truck through wealthier neighborhoods at night and seeing deserted books. It sparked his desire to start rescuing books from the garbage. He took home between 50 and 60 books every morning after his nine-hour shift. Eventually, he turned his book collection into a community library.
Colombia’s capital city of Bogota has 13 million residents and 19 public libraries. However, these libraries tend to be far away from where rural and poorer communities live. The option of buying new books is non-existent for families struggling to make ends meet. Having access to a library of books and being taken away to another world while absorbed in a book is a luxury for the kids who visit Gutierrez’s library.
Gutierrez grew up poor, and his family could not afford to educate him beyond primary school. Nevertheless, his mother was a keen reader and read stories to him every night. Her love for books left a deep impression on Gutierrez, who never let a lack of formal education stop him from reading classics by the likes of Victor Hugo, Mario Vargas Llosa and Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
Today, his community library, called “The Strength of Words”, occupies most of his home and is piled from floor to ceiling with fiction and non-fiction titles. Everything from school textbooks to story books can be found in his collection of more than 20,000 books!
The Strength of Words library opens every weekend. It is not just school-going children who are enjoying the benefits of The Strength of Words library. Adults are also welcome to expand their horizons and develop new skills to build a better life for themselves.
Despite having done so much for his community, Gutierrez is not yet content to call it a day. He continues to search through bins for reading material and has even travelled to book fairs in Mexico and Chile to sell his idea of building library from unwanted books.
4. What inspired Gutierrez to build the community library
A. The dilemma he faced on the night shift.
B. The hobby he has started since childhood.
C. Famous novelists he liked very much.
D. Abandoned books he came across at work.
5. What can we learn about Gutierrez’s mother
A. She was born into a poor family.
B. She bought Gutierrez many books.
C. She influenced Gutierrez greatly.
D. She enjoyed reading Hugo’s works.
6. What does the underlined phrase “call it a day” in the last paragraph mean
A. Take the time.
B. Stop the work.
C. Make a change.
D. Receive a reward.
7. What does Gutierrez’s story tell us
A. A book holds a house of gold.
B. The early bird catches the worm.
C. Good things come to those who wait.
D. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇记叙文，介绍了清洁工Gutierrez将废弃书籍收集起来，创建社区图书馆，为低收入家庭提供阅读机会的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“It happened while he was driving his garbage truck through wealthier neighborhoods at night and seeing deserted books. It sparked his desire to start rescuing books from the garbage. He took home between 50 and 60 books every morning after his nine-hour shift. Eventually, he turned his book collection into a community library. (这件事发生在他晚上开着垃圾车经过富裕社区，看到了被遗弃的书时。这激发了他开始从垃圾中拯救书籍的愿望。在9小时的轮班后，他每天早上带回家50到60本书。最后，他把自己的藏书变成了一个社区图书馆。)”可知，Gutierrez在工作中偶然发现的废弃书籍启发了他创建社区图书馆。故选D项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Nevertheless, his mother was a keen reader and read stories to him every night. Her love for books left a deep impression on Gutierrez, who never let a lack of formal education stop him from reading classics by the likes of Victor Hugo, Mario Vargas Llosa and Gabriel Garcia Marquez. (然而，他的母亲是一个热心的读者，每天晚上读故事给他听。她对书籍的热爱给Gutierrez留下了深刻的印象，他从未让缺乏正规教育阻止他阅读维克多·雨果、马里奥·巴尔加斯·略萨和加布里埃尔·加西亚·马尔克斯等人的经典作品。)”可知，Gutierrez的母亲对书籍的热爱让Gutierrez即使贫困也坚持阅读。由此可知，她对Gutierrez的影响很大。故选C项。
【6题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词前文“Despite having done so much for his community (尽管他为他的社区做了这么多)”及后文“He continues to search through bins for reading material and has even travelled to book fairs in Mexico and Chile to sell his idea of building library from unwanted books. (他继续在垃圾箱里寻找阅读材料，甚至前往墨西哥和智利的书展，推广他用废弃书籍建造图书馆的想法。)”可知，Gutierrez并没有停下从垃圾箱里找书籍的目标，甚至还想推广自己的想法，因此，call it a day与stop the work意思相近，意为“停止工作”。故选B项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其根据第一段中的“It sparked his desire to start rescuing books from the garbage. He took home between 50 and 60 books every morning after his nine-hour shift. Eventually, he turned his book collection into a community library. (这激发了他开始从垃圾中拯救书籍的愿望。在9小时的轮班后，他每天早上带回家50到60本书。最后，他把自己的藏书变成了一个社区图书馆。)”可知，本文讲述了Gutierrez将废弃书籍收集起来，创建社区图书馆，为低收入家庭提供阅读机会的故事。A. 书中自有黄金屋；B. 早起的鸟儿有虫吃；C. 好事多磨；D. 变废为宝。因此，D项最契合文章主题。故选D项。
C
An environmental group in Colombia is leading a project to save wild areas in the San Lucas Mountains with the help of coffee growers.
Since 2016, San Lucas areas have been threatened by mining and coca (古柯) planting Gold miners and coca growers make more money than coffee farms. Now the group WebConserva helps link coffee farmers with coffee processors from around the country in order that they can earn more. At the same time coffee farms can serve as boarders around the forests to protect the biodiversity within.
To date, the project includes 10 families who farm 400 hectares of coffee plants. WebConserva said it hopes, in time, 200 families will be included. At that level. 20,000 hectares of untouched forest could be protected. The families promise not to cut down trees to expand their crops or to hunt wild animals. In return, they receive $300 for 125 kilograms of coffee.
Arcadio Barajas is among those taking part. His coffee farm sets up a barrier between cattle farms and forests where wild animals live, thus reducing the possibility of conflict between cattle farmers and wild animals. “Cutting down the forest to plant coca and killing wildlife were against my faith, and now I feel that growing coffee lets me be a good guard of the land,” he said.
Amnobis Romero is a former coca grower and miner. “Many families depended on illegal activities to support their children years ago. Now, we feel it a duty to look after this biodiversity and leave it for future generations,” he said. Activists want San Luvas to be protected as a national park, but the process has been slow. Carlos Valderrama, director of Webconserva, hopes the project can build production system that will last far into the future. “It protects forests, biodiversity and ecosystems at the same time as improving coffee growers’ quality of life,” he said.
8. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. Coffee farmers.
B. WebConserva members.
C. Gold miners.
D. Coca growers.
9. How does WebConserva members save wild areas in San Lucas
A. By increasing cattle farms.
B. By setting up a barrier.
C Ry developing gold mining.
D. By encouraging coffee farming.
10. What does the author intend to show by mentioning Arcadio Barajas and Arnobis Romero
A. Families have enough money for their kids.
B. Coffee planting will last for several generations.
C. Coffee farming changed the former coca growers’ lives.
D. The project benefit the forests more than the local farmers.
11. What can be inferred from the text
A. Families protecting wildlife will get very rich.
B. WebConserva benefits ecosystems and local people’s life.
C. Gold mining and coca farming have been replaced rapidly.
D. San Lucas will develop into a national park in the near future.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了哥伦比亚的一个环保组织WebConserva帮助和鼓励哥伦比亚农民尝试种植咖啡以保护环境的故事。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“Now the group WebConserva helps link coffee farmers with coffee processors from around the country in order that they can earn more.(现在， WebConserva组织通过将咖啡种植者与全国各地的加工商联系起来，以便他们能赚更多的钱)”可知，WebConserva帮助咖啡种植者与全国各地的加工商建立联系。由此可知，划线词they指的是前面提到的“咖啡种植者”。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“To date, the project includes 10 families who farm 400 hectares of coffee plants. WebConserva said it hopes, in time, 200 families will be included. At that level. 20,000 hectares of untouched forest could be protected. The families promise not to cut down trees to expand their crops or to hunt wild animals. In return, they receive $300 for 125 kilograms of coffee.(到目前为止，这个项目包含10个农户，他们种植了400公顷的咖啡树。WebConserva表示，希望有朝一日最终能将200个农户家庭囊括在内。这样，就有2万公顷的原始森林可以得到保护。这些家庭承诺不砍伐树木来扩大作物种植，也不捕猎森林里的野生动物。作为回报，他们可以从125公斤咖啡中获得300美元)”可推知，WebConserva通过鼓励当地居民种植咖啡以拯救圣卢卡斯的野生地区。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的““Cutting down the forest to plant coca and killing wildlife were against my faith, and now I feel that growing coffee lets me be a good guard of the land,” he said.(“砍伐森林种植古柯和杀害野生动物违背了我的信仰，现在我觉得种植咖啡让我成为了土地的好管家，”他说)”以及第五段中的““Many families depended on illegal activities to support their children years ago. Now, we feel it a duty to look after this biodiversity and leave it for future generations,” he said.( “许多家庭几年前就依靠非法活动来供养他们的孩子。现在，我们感到有责任照顾好这种生物多样性，把它留给后代，”他说)”可知，这两个以前古柯种植者通过种植咖啡有了很大改变。由此推知，作者打算通过提及Arcadio Barajas和Amobis Romero来说明咖啡种植改变了以前古柯种植者的生活。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的““It protects forests, biodiversity and ecosystems at the same time as improving coffee growers’ quality of life,” he said. (“这在保护森林、生物多样性和生态系统的同时，也提高了咖啡种植者的生活质量，”他说)”可推知，WebConserva有益于生态系统和当地人民的生活。故选B。
D
As the concept of emotional intelligence (EI) has gone global, we’ve watched professionals fail as they try to improve their emotional intelligence because they either don’t know where to focus their efforts or they haven’t understood how to improve these skills on a practical level. In our work consulting with companies and coaching leaders, we have found that if you’re looking to develop particular EI strengths, it helps to consider areas for improvement others have identified along with the goals you want to achieve and then to actively build habits in those areas rather than simply relying on understanding them conceptually.
The first step is to get a sense of how your self-perception (how you see yourself) differs from your reputation (how others see you). This is especially true for the development of EI because we can be blind to how we express and read the emotional components of our interactions. For example, most of us think that we’re good listeners, but very often that’s really not the case. Without this external reality check, it will be difficult for you to identify the ways that your actions affect your performance. Getting teed back from others can also provide proof of the necessity of shifting our behavior and motivation to do so.
To give you the best sense of where the differences lie between your self-perception and reputation, you should use a 360-degree feedback assessment that takes into account the multiple aspects of EI. The key is to find one to give you feedback, which is focused on development and not on performance assessment. And that can give you a detailed understanding of how other people’s assessments of you differ from your own assessments.
Secondly, when you get your feedback from an assessment, let that inform what you want to improve. But also consider what your goals are. When it comes to cultivating strengths in emotional intelligence, you’re at a huge disadvantage if you’re only interested because others say you should be. Your emotional intelligence is so tied up in your sense of self that being intrinsically (内在的) motivated to make the effort matters more when changing longstanding habits than it does when simply learning a skill.
That means the areas that you choose to actively work on should lie at the intersection of the feedback you’ve gotten and the areas that are most important to your own aspirations (抱负). Understanding the influences of your current EI habits relative to your goals will keep you going over a long period at time as you do the work or strengthening your emotional intelligence.
12. What do we know from the first paragraph
A. EI can be better improved with others’ help.
B. Leaders are badly in need of improving their EI.
C. EI plays a key role in professional development.
D. Professionals fail to understand the concepts of EI.
13. According to the passage, which of the following is an “external reality check”
A. You help your siblings make a key decision.
B. Your career development speeds up with others’ help.
C. You reflected yourself and made a New Year resolution.
D. Your teacher directed you towards a better attitude in study.
14. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4
A. To improve your EI, following your inner call is the most reliable.
B. It’s bard for others to know your EI because it hides deep inside.
C. To improve your EI, you should take your goals into consideration.
D. Acquiring a new skill is more significant than improving your EI.
15. Which of the following might the author agree with
A. Your inner self discourages you from improving your EI.
B. Effective EI development is determined by different factors.
C. The importance of performance assessment is underestimated.
D. EI development is unlikely to happen unless you know what EI is.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了提高情商的方法：了解自我认知与声誉之间的区别，明确目标，确定改变具体的行动。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“In our work consulting with companies and coaching leaders, we have found that if you’re looking to develop particular EI strengths, it helps to consider areas for improvement others have identified along with the goals you want to achieve and then to actively build habits in those areas rather than simply relying on understanding them conceptually.(在我们为公司提供咨询服务和培训领导者的工作中，我们发现，如果你想要发展特定的EI优势，考虑其他人已经确定的改进领域以及你想要实现的目标，然后积极地在这些领域培养好的习惯，而不是简单地依赖于对它们概念上的理解，会有所帮助)”可知，如果你想要发展特定的EI优势，可以考虑其他人已经确定的改进领域，可得出在别人的帮助下，情商可以得到更好的提高。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The first step is to get a sense of how your self-perception (how you see yourself) differs from your reputation (how others see you). This is especially true for the development of EI because we can be blind to how we express and read the emotional components of our interactions. For example, most of us think that we’re good listeners, but very often that’s really not the case.(第一步是了解你的自我认知（你如何看待自己）与你的声誉（别人如何看待你）有何不同。对于情商的发展来说尤其如此，因为我们可能对我们如何表达和理解我们互动中的情感成分视而不见。例如，我们大多数人都认为自己是好的倾听者，但事实往往并非如此)”及第二段最后一句“Getting teed back from others can also provide proof of the necessity of shifting our behavior and motivation to do so.(从别人那里得到反馈也可以证明我们改变行为的必要性和动机)”可知，“Without this external reality check, it will be difficult for you to identify the ways that your actions affect your performance.(如果没有这种external reality check，你将很难确定你的行为是如何影响你的表现的)”中划线部分external reality check(外部现实的检验)指的是他人对我们的反馈让我们真实了解自己，明白对自己的错误认知并纠正自己行为。由此推知，D选项“Your teacher directed you towards a better attitude in study.(你的老师引导你在学习上采取更好的态度)”是一种external reality check“外部现实的检验”。故选D。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“Secondly, when you get your feedback from an assessment, let that inform what you want to improve. But also consider what your goals are.(其次，当你从评估中得到反馈时，让它告诉你想要改进的地方。但也要考虑你的目标是什么)”可知，第四段主要讲述了当你想要提高情商时，你应该考虑你的目标。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“In our work consulting with companies and coaching leaders, we have found that if you’re looking to develop particular EI strengths, it helps to consider areas for improvement others have identified along with the goals you want to achieve and then to actively build habits in those areas rather than simply relying on understanding them conceptually.(在我们为公司提供咨询服务和培训领导者的工作中，我们发现，如果你想要发展特定的情商优势，考虑其他人已经确定的改进领域以及你想要实现的目标，然后积极地在这些领域培养好的习惯，而不是简单地依赖于对它们概念上的理解，会有所帮助)”、倒数第二段中“Your emotional intelligence is so tied up in your sense of self that being intrinsically (内在的) motivated to make the effort matters more when changing longstanding habits than it does when simply learning a skill.(你的情商与你的自我意识紧密相连，所以在改变长期习惯时，内在的动机比单纯地学习一项技能更重要)”及最后一段中的“Understanding the influences of your current EI habits relative to your goals will keep you going over a long period at time as you do the work or strengthening your emotional intelligence.(了解你目前的情商习惯相对于对你的目标的影响，将使你在提高你情商的过程中保持长期的努力前行)”可知，情商的提高受到多种因素的影响。由此推知，作者可能会赞同B选项的观点“Effective EI development is determined by different factors.(有效的情商发展取决于不同的因素)”。故选B。

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项 选项中有两项为多余选项.
During job or school interviews, you’re likely to be asked what your strengths and weaknesses are, because the interviewers are interested in how your areas of strengths and weaknesses might affect your performance in this position. ____16____ For instance, you may be skilled in cooking, but if you’re applying for an office job, this strength may be irrelevant.
However, knowing your personal areas of strengths and weaknesses is not a piece of cake. It takes self-awareness and self-reflection. So ask yourself what you are good or weak at. ____17____
____18____ For example, let’s say my strength is creativity and yours is planning; we both want to have the same career. We might go about getting there in very different ways. If I did something creative to get my dream job and you planned carefully, we’d both likely be successful. But if I tried planning and you tried something creative, both of us might fail. ____19____
Having a weakness doesn’t have to be a bad thing. It could be something you struggle with, but it could also be something you haven’t spent time developing yet.____20____ For example, maybe your area of weakness is relevant to gratitude. You just haven’t spent a lot of time thinking about gratitude before. But now you engage in a bunch of activities that help you turn gratitude into an area of strength. Hey, now you’ve got one more skill!
A. Is it proper to begin with a truthful answer
B. Our areas of strengths can help us achieve our goals.
C. Or,ask your friends about your qualities or weaknesses.
D. Thus, it’s helpful to know your strengths related to the role.
E. Many job applicants are unsure how to approach this question.
F. By turning a weakness into a strength, you build other important skills.
G. That’s why it is important to know and use our strengths to reach goals.

【17题详解】
根据空前“However, knowing your personal areas of strengths and weaknesses is not a piece of cake. It takes self-awareness and self-reflection.

The STAR Eco Station is an environmental science museum, a wildlife rescue center, and a shelter for endangered and illegally-traded foreign animals confiscated (没收) by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It carries out the mission “Preservation through Education” by educating visitors about the preservation of the environment and the inter-dependence of all living things.
Field trips
STAR Eco Station hosts field trips for schools and camps throughout Southern California. Each field trip lasts two hours, consisting of a one-hour gathering and a one-hour tour of the facility, with lessons associated with California State Science Standards.
Throughout the field trip, students learn about the latest developments in environmental protection and the ways in which wildlife interacts with various ecosystems. The students also receive an up-close and hands-on experience with our rescued foreign wildlife. The tour includes different environmental exhibits that showcase the ways students can help protect animals in the wild.
Field trips are offered on weekdays only, from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. or 12 p.m.-2 p.m. The rate is $6 per visitor, both child and adult, with a $120 minimum. We offer one free adult per 10 children for groups of 40 or more. Maximum capacity is 120 people per field trip.
Public tours
Guided tours of the STAR Eco Station introduce visitors to over two hundred rescued foreign wildlife. Each tour is led by an Eco Station staff member, and features fun animal facts, hands-on animal encounters, surprising rescue stories, environmental exhibits, and original approaches to going green. Visitors may only see the animals on a guided tour, for both your safety and the safety of our animals.
The guided tour lasts approximately 45-60 minutes. Public tours are offered on Saturday and Sunday, from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. (last tour begins at 3 p.m.). Our guided public tours start every hour on the hour. Visitors are served on a first-come, first-served basis. No reservations are required. However, tours may sell out.

Jose Alberto Gutierrez’s life would never be the same again after finding a copy of Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy in the garbage 20 years ago. It happened while he was driving his garbage truck through wealthier neighborhoods at night and seeing deserted books. It sparked his desire to start rescuing books from the garbage. He took home between 50 and 60 books every morning after his nine-hour shift. Eventually, he turned his book collection into a community library.
Colombia’s capital city of Bogota has 13 million residents and 19 public libraries. However, these libraries tend to be far away from where rural and poorer communities live. The option of buying new books is non-existent for families struggling to make ends meet. Having access to a library of books and being taken away to another world while absorbed in a book is a luxury for the kids who visit Gutierrez’s library.
Gutierrez grew up poor, and his family could not afford to educate him beyond primary school. Nevertheless, his mother was a keen reader and read stories to him every night. Her love for books left a deep impression on Gutierrez, who never let a lack of formal education stop him from reading classics by the likes of Victor Hugo, Mario Vargas Llosa and Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
Today, his community library, called “The Strength of Words”, occupies most of his home and is piled from floor to ceiling with fiction and non-fiction titles. Everything from school textbooks to story books can be found in his collection of more than 20,000 books!
The Strength of Words library opens every weekend. It is not just school-going children who are enjoying the benefits of The Strength of Words library. Adults are also welcome to expand their horizons and develop new skills to build a better life for themselves.
Despite having done so much for his community, Gutierrez is not yet content to call it a day. He continues to search through bins for reading material and has even travelled to book fairs in Mexico and Chile to sell his idea of building library from unwanted books.
4. What inspired Gutierrez to build the community library
A. The dilemma he faced on the night shift.
B. The hobby he has started since childhood.
C. Famous novelists he liked very much.
D Abandoned books he came across at work.
5. What can we learn about Gutierrez’s mother

A. Take the time.
B. Stop the work.
C. Make a change.
D. Receive a reward.
7. What does Gutierrez’s story tell us
A. A book holds a house of gold.
B. The early bird catches the worm.
C. Good things come to those who wait.
D. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.

An environmental group in Colombia is leading a project to save wild areas in the San Lucas Mountains with the help of coffee growers.
Since 2016, San Lucas areas have been threatened by mining and coca (古柯) planting Gold miners and coca growers make more money than coffee farms. Now the group WebConserva helps link coffee farmers with coffee processors from around the country in order that they can earn more. At the same time coffee farms can serve as boarders around the forests to protect the biodiversity within.
To date, the project includes 10 families who farm 400 hectares of coffee plants. WebConserva said it hopes, in time, 200 families will be included. At that level. 20,000 hectares of untouched forest could be protected. The families promise not to cut down trees to expand their crops or to hunt wild animals. In return, they receive $300 for 125 kilograms of coffee.
Arcadio Barajas is among those taking part. His coffee farm sets up a barrier between cattle farms and forests where wild animals live, thus reducing the possibility of conflict between cattle farmers and wild animals. “Cutting down the forest to plant coca and killing wildlife were against my faith, and now I feel that growing coffee lets me be a good guard of the land,” he said.
Amnobis Romero is a former coca grower and miner. “Many families depended on illegal activities to support their children years ago. Now, we feel it a duty to look after this biodiversity and leave it for future generations,” he said. Activists want San Luvas to be protected as a national park, but the process has been slow. Carlos Valderrama, director of Webconserva, hopes the project can build production system that will last far into the future. “It protects forests, biodiversity and ecosystems at the same time as improving coffee growers’ quality of life,” he said.
8. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. Coffee farmers.
B. WebConserva members.
C. Gold miners.
D. Coca growers.
9. How does WebConserva members save wild areas in San Lucas
A. By increasing cattle farms.
B. By setting up a barrier.
C. Ry developing gold mining.
D. By encouraging coffee farming.
10. What does the author intend to show by mentioning Arcadio Barajas and Arnobis Romero
A. Families have enough money for their kids.
B. Coffee planting will last for several generations.
C. Coffee farming changed the former coca growers’ lives.
D. The project benefit the forests more than the local farmers.
11. What can be inferred from the text
A. Families protecting wildlife will get very rich.
B. WebConserva benefits ecosystems and local people’s life.
C. Gold mining and coca farming have been replaced rapidly.
D. San Lucas will develop into a national park in the near future.
D
As the concept of emotional intelligence (EI) has gone global, we’ve watched professionals fail as they try to improve their emotional intelligence because they either don’t know where to focus their efforts or they haven’t understood how to improve these skills on a practical level. In our work consulting with companies and coaching leaders, we have found that if you’re looking to develop particular EI strengths, it helps to consider areas for improvement others have identified along with the goals you want to achieve and then to actively build habits in those areas rather than simply relying on understanding them conceptually.
The first step is to get a sense of how your self-perception (how you see yourself) differs from your reputation (how others see you). This is especially true for the development of EI because we can be blind to how we express and read the emotional components of our interactions. For example, most of us think that we’re good listeners, but very often that’s really not the case. Without this external reality check, it will be difficult for you to identify the ways that your actions affect your performance. Getting teed back from others can also provide proof of the necessity of shifting our behavior and motivation to do so.
To give you the best sense of where the differences lie between your self-perception and reputation, you should use a 360-degree feedback assessment that takes into account the multiple aspects of EI. The key is to find one to give you feedback, which is focused on development and not on performance assessment. And that can give you a detailed understanding of how other people’s assessments of you differ from your own assessments.
Secondly, when you get your feedback from an assessment, let that inform what you want to improve. But also consider what your goals are. When it comes to cultivating strengths in emotional intelligence, you’re at a huge disadvantage if you’re only interested because others say you should be. Your emotional intelligence is so tied up in your sense of self that being intrinsically (内在的) motivated to make the effort matters more when changing longstanding habits than it does when simply learning a skill.
That means the areas that you choose to actively work on should lie at the intersection of the feedback you’ve gotten and the areas that are most important to your own aspirations (抱负). Understanding the influences of your current EI habits relative to your goals will keep you going over a long period at time as you do the work or strengthening your emotional intelligence.
12. What do we know from the first paragraph
A. EI can be better improved with others’ help.
B. Leaders are badly in need of improving their EI.
C. EI plays a key role in professional development.
D. Professionals fail to understand the concepts of EI.
13. According to the passage, which of the following is an “external reality check”
A. You help your siblings make a key decision.
B. Your career development speeds up with others’ help.
C. You reflected yourself and made a New Year resolution.
D. Your teacher directed you towards a better attitude in study.
14. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4
A. To improve your EI, following your inner call is the most reliable.
B. It’s bard for others to know your EI because it hides deep inside.
C. To improve your EI, you should take your goals into consideration.
D. Acquiring a new skill is more significant than improving your EI.
15. Which of the following might the author agree with
A. Your inner self discourages you from improving your EI.
B. Effective EI development is determined by different factors.
C The importance of performance assessment is underestimated.
D. EI development is unlikely to happen unless you know what EI is.
