Empathy
Last year, researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy, the ability to understand other people, among college students had dropped sharply over the past 10 years. __小題1:__ Today, people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs.
Jennifer Freed, a co-director of a teen program, has another explanation. Turn on the TV, and you’re showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting, competing, and generally treating one another with no respect. __小題2:__
There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples. Humans are socially related by nature. __小題3:__ Researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high self-respect. Besides, empathy can be a cure for loneliness, sadness, anxiety, and fear.
Empathy is also an indication of a good leader. In fact, Freed says, many top companies report that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in new managers. __小題4:__ “Academics are important. But if you don’t have emotional (情感的) intelligence, you won’t be as successful in work or in your love life,” she says.
What’s the best way to up your EQ (情商）? For starters, let down your guard and really listen to others. __小題5:__
To really develop empathy, you’d better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital, join a club or a team that has a diverse membership, have a “sharing circle” with your family, or spend time caring for pets at an animal shelter.

A．Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human—and having empathy is decisive to those relationships.

B．Everyone is different, and levels of empathy differ from person to person.

C．That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time, the researchers said.

D．“One doesn’t develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking,” Freed says.

E. Humans learn by example—and most of the examples on it are anything but empathetic.
F. Empathy is a matter of learning how to understand someone else—both what they think and how they feel.
G. Good social skills—including empathy—are a kind of “emotional intelligence” that will help you succeed in many areas of life.

Answer 1

小題1:C
小題2:F
小題3:A
小題4:G
小題5:D

試題分析：文章介紹了同情心在過(guò)去的這些年里面在急劇的下降，同時(shí)也說(shuō)明了下降的原因。同情心也是每個(gè)人所應(yīng)該具備的素質(zhì)之一，是工作取得成功的一個(gè)因素。文章也告訴我們應(yīng)該怎樣培養(yǎng)同情心。
小題1: C上下文的銜接。the ability to understand other people, among college students had dropped sharply over the past 10 years. ____ Today, people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs.句意為：同情心是理解他人的一種能力，在過(guò)去的十年里大學(xué)生的同情心急劇的下降，_______當(dāng)今，人們花費(fèi)更多的時(shí)間獨(dú)處，似乎不愿意參加團(tuán)隊(duì)活動(dòng)或俱樂(lè)部。所以答案應(yīng)為C，研究員說(shuō)，那是因?yàn)樘�多的人用面�?duì)屏幕的時(shí)間代替了面對(duì)面的時(shí)間。
小題2:F與上文的聯(lián)系。Turn on the TV, and you’re showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting, competing, and generally treating one another with no respect. ____打開(kāi)電視，到處都是人之間的沖突，競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，對(duì)他人的不尊重等消息。所以下文應(yīng)是，而同情心則是學(xué)會(huì)理解他人的一件事情，既要理解他人的想法，又要理解他人的感受。故答案應(yīng)為F。
小題3:A上下文的理解題。There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples. Humans are socially related by nature. ____ Researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high self-respect. Besides, empathy can be a cure for loneliness, sadness, anxiety, and fear.句意為：人類天生地是有社會(huì)聯(lián)系的，_______研究員們發(fā)現(xiàn)，有同情心的青少年似乎有更高的自尊心，另外，同情心也是治癒孤獨(dú)，悲傷，焦慮和恐懼的一劑良藥。所以答案應(yīng)為Ａ，Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human—and having empathy is decisive to those relationships.句意為：同其他人擁有的關(guān)系是人類的一個(gè)重要組成部分，有同情心對(duì)這種關(guān)系是起決定作用的。
小題４:G上下文聯(lián)系題。Freed says, many top companies report that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in new managers. ____ “Academics are important. But if you don’t have emotional (情感的) intelligence, you won’t be as successful in work or in your love life,” she says.大意為：同情心是他們?cè)谛碌慕?jīng)理們身上找到的最重要的一件東西，_____學(xué)術(shù)知識(shí)是重要的，但是，如果你沒(méi)有情商，你就不會(huì)取得成功。所以答案應(yīng)為G，Good social skills—including empathy—are a kind of “emotional intelligence” that will help you succeed in many areas of life.，意思是：好的社會(huì)技能包括同情心是情商中的一種，能夠幫助你在生活的很多方面取得成功。
小題５:D順承上文。What’s the best way to up your EQ (情商）? For starters, let down your guard and really listen to others. ____提升情商的最好方法是什么呢？作為一個(gè)新開(kāi)始者，放下你的警惕真正的傾聽(tīng)別人，如果總是有意見(jiàn)或者總是說(shuō)很多（而聽(tīng)得少）一個(gè)人就不會(huì)發(fā)展他的情商（同情心）
