阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Teenage life around the world
Asha
I’m from Tanzania. Like most teenagers, I start my day early and end it late. After school, I study at a night school to prepare for the university entrance exam. When I have time off, I prefer to be outdoors. I love nature and animals. I’m quite upset about how we treat the environment, so I do my best to help. I volunteer to plant trees and I’m a member of our school’s Nature Club.
Samika
I’m 15. I wish I were a student, but I’m not. I had to leave school when I was 13 so that I could get a job and help my family. I work in a garment factory. It’s unbelievably hard work and the days are so long. Although everyone works hard, we still find time to play and laugh together. At times like these, the world feels like a wonderful place.
Frieder
I’m 16 and I go to a high school in Munich. I’m not crazy about school — listening to a teacher isn’t my thing — but I know I have to get an education. It’s very difficult for young people to find a job in Europe, so I worry a lot about the future. Oh, and I’m a gaming nerd. I love the Internet games so much.
Joe
I’m a student from London. The online world is a big part of my life. I’ve been using the computer since I was a kid. I do various things online. Besides doing all my schoolwork, I chat with friends, play computer games, watch films, read the daily news and shop online. My parents are worried. They keep telling me to drag myself away from the online world.

Beach volleyball (沙滩排球) is one of those sports that can be an exciting game to play and watch. It’s really easy, and all you need is sand, a net and a group of people, of any age or fitness level, who want to have fun.
Beach volleyball can be played with as few as two people in each team, making a total of four people. However, if you are less skilled and experienced in the game, it will be easier to play with a larger team. The more players you have, the less ground each person will be responsible for covering and the more time they will have to recover between shots. If you only have a few players, each of you will get a lot of running for the ball after each volley (截球). If you are looking for a relaxing, fun, low-key experience, choose larger teams.
Beach volleyball is similar to regular volleyball in its rules. However, even experienced volleyball players do not realize how much more difficult it is to run and jump on sand. Since it is harder to move quickly on sand than a hard surface, play will be much slower than regular volleyball on a court. When an athlete trains for beach volleyball, he will focus on building lower body strength as well as upper body strength. Strengthening his legs is extremely important. This improves the player’s ability to move quickly and accurately on sand despite the resistance. The ability to jump high and land without injury is necessary for beach volleyball players.
Whether you are in it for the competition, or just to have a great time with your friends, beach volleyball can be extremely exciting and fun. You may start out with friends and may soon fall in love with the sport.
6. When you join a large beach volleyball team, you’ll ______.
A. have as many shots as possible B. improve your volleyball skills
C. be responsible for more ground D. feel light-hearted while playing
7. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3
A. Experienced volleyball players know clearly it is hard to run and jump on sand.
B. Lower body strength is more important than upper body strength.
C A person must have strong legs if he wants to run and jump quickly on sand.
D. The rules of beach volleyball are the same as those of regular volleyball.
8. Why is playing beach volleyball much slower than playing regular volleyball
A. Because it is not easy to move on sand.
B. Because beach volleyball has a larger court.
C. Because the teams of beach volleyball are larger.
D. Because it is a workout running for the ball.
9. What does the author think of beach volleyball
A. It’s a difficult sport.
B. It’s an exciting and interesting sport.
C. It’s a sport which only a few people love.
D. It’s a sport which needs few skills.
10. The passage mainly tells us ______.
A. the game of beach volleyball
B. how to play beach volleyball well
C. how to become a good beach volleyball player
D. why beach volleyball is one of the exciting sports
C
It’s common to hear that being “emotional” is opposite from being “rational (理性的)”. For many people, there is no place for emotion in rational thinking. However, some recent work from our lab suggests something opposite.
We found that individuals who score higher on tests of intelligence and rationality don’t ignore (忽略) emotions. Instead, they pay more attention to emotions and are better at recognizing and understanding emotions. This is because most intelligent decision-making requires emotional information. Emotions tell us what we want, and we can’t make smart decisions without first knowing what our goals are.
For example, as a mother, if I want to make my children happy, and I know they like video games, it would make sense for me to buy them a video game. But, if I instead want them to stay focused on homework, then it wouldn’t make sense for me to buy them the video game. You can see from this example that a rational decision can’t be made unless I know various pieces of emotional information.
Anticipating others’ emotions may help us be more effective leaders — allowing us to predict the way people will respond to what we say or do. Anticipating our own emotions can also make for much more effective long-term decisions. For example, if I predict I will feel anxious before giving a public speech, I might be inspired to practice a few more times. If I instead simply ignored my anxiety, chances are that I’d be more disturbed on stage, and my speech wouldn’t go smoothly.
Of course, it’s important to find out situations where emotional influences may not be helpful as well. Here, individuals who score higher on rationality tests may be better at reflecting on whether an emotion will be helpful or not in a given situation. They can then make their decision after giving it deeper consideration. For example, expressing too much anger or sadness to your boss when you don’t get an promotion (晋升) may not be in your best interest.
In general, if we want to be rational and make the best decisions, we should desire as much information as we can get — and information about emotions can often be especially useful.
11. What is a widespread opinion about emotions and rationality
A. Rationality can develop emotional intelligence.
B. Emotions help to make rational decisions.
C. They play opposite roles in thinking processes.
D. Rationality is more important than emotions in decision-making.
12. Why does the author mention the example in Paragraph 3
A. To show the process of decision-making.
B. To tell us the harm of ignoring emotions.
C. To draw the line between rationality and emotions.
D. To show the importance of emotional information.
13. What should be done to make the best of emotions according to Paragraph 5
A. Recognizing their usefulness. B. Reflecting on the possible effect.
C. Completing the rationality tests. D. Thinking about various situations.
14. What does the author suggest for making wise decisions
A. Gaining enough information. B. Putting rationality at the first place.
C. Trusting direct feelings. D. Seeking expert advice.
15. What is the best title for this passage
A. How to Control Emotions for Better Decision-Making
B. The Role of Emotions in Effective Leadership
C. Why Ignoring Emotions Leads to Smarter Decisions
D. Balancing Emotional and Rational Thinking in Decision-Making

It’s common to hear that being “emotional” is opposite from being “rational (理性的)”. For many people, there is no place for emotion in rational thinking. However, some recent work from our lab suggests something opposite.
We found that individuals who score higher on tests of intelligence and rationality don’t ignore (忽略) emotions. Instead, they pay more attention to emotions and are better at recognizing and understanding emotions. This is because most intelligent decision-making requires emotional information. Emotions tell us what we want, and we can’t make smart decisions without first knowing what our goals are.
For example, as a mother, if I want to make my children happy, and I know they like video games, it would make sense for me to buy them a video game. But, if I instead want them to stay focused on homework, then it wouldn’t make sense for me to buy them the video game. You can see from this example that a rational decision can’t be made unless I know various pieces of emotional information.
Anticipating others’ emotions may help us be more effective leaders — allowing us to predict the way people will respond to what we say or do. Anticipating our own emotions can also make for much more effective long-term decisions. For example, if I predict I will feel anxious before giving a public speech, I might be inspired to practice a few more times. If I instead simply ignored my anxiety, chances are that I’d be more disturbed on stage, and my speech wouldn’t go smoothly.
Of course, it’s important to find out situations where emotional influences may not be helpful as well. Here, individuals who score higher on rationality tests may be better at reflecting on whether an emotion will be helpful or not in a given situation. They can then make their decision after giving it deeper consideration. For example, expressing too much anger or sadness to your boss when you don’t get an promotion (晋升) may not be in your best interest.
In general, if we want to be rational and make the best decisions, we should desire as much information as we can get — and information about emotions can often be especially useful.
11. What is a widespread opinion about emotions and rationality
A. Rationality can develop emotional intelligence.
B. Emotions help to make rational decisions.
C. They play opposite roles in thinking processes.
D. Rationality is more important than emotions in decision-making.
12. Why does the author mention the example in Paragraph 3
A. To show the process of decision-making.
B. To tell us the harm of ignoring emotions.
C. To draw the line between rationality and emotions.
D. To show the importance of emotional information.
13. What should be done to make the best of emotions according to Paragraph 5
A. Recognizing their usefulness. B. Reflecting on the possible effect.
C. Completing the rationality tests. D. Thinking about various situations.
14. What does the author suggest for making wise decisions
A. Gaining enough information. B. Putting rationality at the first place.
C. Trusting direct feelings. D. Seeking expert advice.
15. What is the best title for this passage

C. Why Ignoring Emotions Leads to Smarter Decisions
D. Balancing Emotional and Rational Thinking in Decision-Making

___________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I know that as a high school student, I have to work harder and learn to get used to taking on more responsibilities.
