Answer 1

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀，作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了人的情商，它是理解自己的感情和情緒的能力，是獲得成功的又一重要因素，我們可以通過管理分析自己的情緒，對自己的感情和行為負(fù)責(zé)等方式來提高自己的情商．

解答 25．解析：hoping．該題考查現(xiàn)在分詞表伴隨的非謂語結(jié)構(gòu)，主句主謂賓齊全，且提示詞hope后面帶出to get不定式，hope的動作發(fā)出者是you，動作主動，故用現(xiàn)在分詞hoping． 
26．解析：improving．考查的是介詞后面跟動名詞，所以for后面跟improving． 
27．解析：a．此題考查不定冠詞的用法．考生需要知道grade為"分?jǐn)?shù)"，在此是可數(shù)名詞，并且better grade在此是第一次提到，沒有上文作鋪墊，所以應(yīng)該用不定冠詞a． 
28．解析：those．此題考查代詞指代之前提到過的重復(fù)的內(nèi)容．在此those指代的是understand帶出的賓語"feelings and emotions"，連詞and并列的是your own （你自己的） feelings and emotions還有others （其他人的）．并且"其他人的"用的是of來表示所屬情況，代替前面所提到的內(nèi)容用復(fù)數(shù)情況用those． 
29．解析：to handle．此題考查不定式作名詞后置定語．to handle作ability的后置定語，表示"處理受挫感"的能力． 
30．解析：how．此題考查賓語從句引導(dǎo)詞．a(chǎn)nalyze是及物動詞，可以跟賓語或賓語從句，而此題難點在于that這個詞，比較能混淆視聽，乍看很像引導(dǎo)詞，實際上它是一個代詞，因為通過affect的三單情況可以看出，而that affects your daily life句子主謂賓已經(jīng)齊全，不缺成分，所以要考慮用關(guān)系副詞來引導(dǎo)這個賓從，根據(jù)意思應(yīng)該用how，表示"如何"，意思通順，故為答案． 
31．解析：will have．此題有點難度，考查對一般將來時的判斷．如果光從a higher EQ來判斷時態(tài)會讓好些考生覺得吃力的話，那么后面的likely可以一定程度上降低難度，likely意思為"可能地"，并且其后的a happier and more rewarding life也表示這是屬于未來的事，從字面意思上也可以判斷此處要用一般將來時．

點評 本文難度適中，考點涉及非謂語、冠詞、代詞、不定式、賓語從句和一般將來時．需要考生對以上語法以及各類語法都能靈活切換．
