27、When it comes to getting ahead, is IQ or EQ more important? A thought experiment conducted featuring butterflies and geniuses settles the question once and for all.

【1】 So if you asked people whether they’d rather be a butterfly or a genius, I’m betting most people wouldn’t hesitate before choosing genius. But butterflies are also social creatures, often gathering in groups. The experiment points out just how big an advantage friendliness can be.

Imagine two groups of people. We’ll call them the Geniuses and the Butterflies for short. 【2】 They come up with one ground-breaking invention every 10 human lifetimes. The Butterflies aren’t nearly as bright. They take 1,000 lifetimes to come up with a world-changing invention.

But what the Butterflies lack in cognitive(认知的)horsepower, they make up for in social skills. 【3】 However, the egghead Geniuses are a little awkward. They only have one friend. Now imagine everyone goes about their business trying to learn about cool, new inventions, either by figuring them out for themselves or learning about them from friends. 【4】 The one where the people are a hundred times smarter(the Geniuses)or the one where they’re 10 times more social(the Butterflies)?

Well, communicating ideas within a group might not feel as impressive as coming up with brilliant ideas alone in a corner. Chatty Cathys(滔滔不绝的人)clearly have less cultural mystery than Nobel winners. But without them, new ideas don’t spread fast enough to-make big impact. 【5】

This fascinating thought experiment is good news for the communicators and connectors of the world, but it’s also a valuable lesson for anyone putting-together a team.

A．Which society does better?

B．Each Butterfly has 10 friends.

C．The Geniuses are, well, geniuses.

D．Butterflies are pretty but lacking in strength.

E．Is it hard for the experiment to draw a conclusion?

F．In terms of group success, EQ matters more than raw IQ.

G．The Butterflies shouldn’t be compared with the Geniuses.

28、   Sarah got a sudden sinking feeling, and she could sense approaching danger. Without thinking she stood up, and faced toward the direction of the sound. That's when she saw a gray tail through the bushes. Desperately Sarah climbed up a tall pine tree. She knew its smell would be of some help. The merciless creature stepped in, sniffing around.

The branch cracking slightly, the wolf looked around, then up and made direct eye contact with Sarah. It gave a short howl, and then two more large wolves came running. Sarah grabbed a branch and threw it far behind them, who dashed after it, but weren't gone for long. They had realized they were tricked. They started jumping at her legs, and the worst happened. The branch, her lifeline, gave out on her and she landed onto the ground, nearly on top of the lead wolf. They immediately surrounded her, glaring at her in the eyes. She raised her head, thinking to herself, "If this is the way I am going to die, I might as well die with dignity." Grabbing the branch that betrayed her, she stood up, smacking it around, and the wolves began backing up.

Finally she was able to get out of the circle, and ran over to a spot with a bunch of empty bottles. She tied one to each fist, and then smashed them on a rock so that if she hit one of the wolves, the broken glass would cause a lot more damage. Meanwhile, Sarah grabbed a branch and was able to reach out and smack the lead wolf in the face. He fell down and the other wolves began sniffing at him, then she rushed as fast as possible. "I will never be able to outrun them, but I have to try", she thought to herself. She ran as if she never ran before. Finally the wolves were out of sight.

【1】Why did Sarah climb up the pine tree?

A.She was warned by the sound. B.She wanted to touch the tail there.

C.Its smell could prevent her being discovered D.She was playing hide-and-seek with a creature

【2】The moment Sarah threw a branch behind the wolves,   .

A.it attracted their attention for the moment B.they realized they were tricked

C.they started jumping at her legs crazily D.they were frightened away at once

【3】What can we learn from the underlined sentence in paragraph 2?

A.Sarah was too frightened to behave crazily. B.Sarah thought she was sure to die.

C.Sarah was thinking how to end her life. D.Sarah was determined to fight for survival.

【4】Which of the following can best describe Sarah's escape from the wolves?

A.In time of danger, one's mind works fast. B.Where there is life, there is hope.

C.Where there is a will, there is a way. D.No pains, no gains.

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

Scientists have proved what students have long suspected: Maths equations can actually trigger physical pain.

Regions of the brain linked with the experience of physical 【1】 were activated in those fearful of maths when they were presented with a tough equation, researchers have found. The higher a person’s anxiety of a maths task, the more it 【2】 activity in regions of their brain associated with visceral (内脏的) threat detection, and often the experience of pain itself.

However, the researchers say their study examines the pain response associated with anticipating an anxiety-provoking event, rather than the pain associated with a 【3】 event itself. A maths task itself is not painful but 【4】 the thought of it is highly unpleasant to certain people.

“Maths can be difficult, and for those with high levels of mathematics-anxiety (HMAs), math is associated with tension, apprehension (忧虑) and fear,” the researchers said in their paper titled. When Math Hurts. “【5】, this relation was not seen during math performance, 【6】 that it is not that math itself hurts, rather, the anticipation of math is painful. These results may also provide a potential neural mechanism to explain why (people with) HMAs tend to 【7】 math and math-related situations, which in turn can bias (使有偏见) (those with) high levels of mathematics-anxiety away from taking math classes or even entire math-related 【8】 paths. We provide the first neural 【9】 indicating the nature of the subjective experience of math-anxiety.

Other forms of psychological stress, such as social 【10】 or a traumatic break-up, can also elicit feeling of physical pain.”

32、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

I went up to the roof for a break after studying for an hour and watched the 50 or so people swimming in the natural rock pool below our house. It was a sunny day-a blue, cloudless sky over a calm sea. But then, as I looked in the distance, I discovered a series of three or four big waves heading towards the shore. I'd seen these mini- tsunamis(海啸) many times before. They were heading at speed in the direction of the pool. Most people knew how to look out for them, but from the screams that started coming from the beach, I could tell someone was in trouble.

Without thinking, I ran down into the street, holding my body board(俯伏冲浪板) on the way and shouted at a stranger to go inside my house and call the coastguard. My neighbor Moises had heard the screaming as well and was also outside with his body board, so together we rushed to the steps that led down to the sea.

Once we got closer, we discovered the waves had pulled a boy and a girl from the pool and into the open sea. I knew that the nearest boat would take at least 30 minutes to reach us. Waiting for help wasn't a choice. I wasn't used to this sort of emergency- I’d never been trained as a lifeguard-but I didn't think twice about trying to save them. I supposed in a way I wanted to impress everyone: at 19, a deal like that can seem like a good opportunity to show off.

Moises and I dived into the water and it took us 10 minutes to get to them. When we finally reached them, they were almost lifeless with only their heads coming in and out of the water. We could tell they were still alive from their small breaths but it was clear they wouldn't have been able to stay there much longer. I hold the boy and pulled him over my board. Moises moved the girl on to his board. We discussed pushing them back to the shore, but we were too far out.

We had to wait,
