D.Measures.解析:词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“Weallknowthatweneedsomedegreeofsmartstomakeitinthebusinessworld.Themeasureofthis‘smarts’isIQ.”可知,IQ在商业成功方面起着重要作用。而下文介绍了EQ和RQ在商业成功方面中的作用。由此可知,画线词所在的句子应指EQ和RQ是确保事业或商业成功的其他因素,这些因素约占80%。因此画线词意为“因素”。故选B。答案:B5.Accordingtothetext,whichCANNOTbeimproved?A.IQ. B.EQ.C.RQ. D.Notmentioned.解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的“YouwerebornwithyourIQanditstaysrelativelythesamethroughoutlife.”以及第二段中的“ThegreatnewsaboutEQisthatyoucanimproveit.”和第三段中的“LikeEQ,yourRQcanbeimproved...”可知,IQ在人的一生中基本不变,但是EQ和RQ是可以提高的。故选A。答案:A6.WhichofthefollowingisTRUEifyouwanttomoveupinyourcareer?A.Youwillhavetospendmoretimeonyourworkingfield.B.LittleimportanceshouldbeattachedtothematterofIQ.C.Youaresupposedtoapplymoresoftskillstoyourcareer.D.Youdon’thavetotakecommunicationskillsseriously.解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“YourEQisreallyaboutsoftskills.”以及“Thehigherupyougoinyourcareer,themoreEQmatters.”可知,你的EQ是软技能。在你的职业生涯中,你越往上走,你的EQ就越重要。故选C。答案:C7.Whichofthefollowingcanbelearnedfromthetext?A.AhighEQandIQwillcertainlyguaranteeyoursuccess.B.Allthemostsuccessfulcompanieshaveaveragereputations.C.Youneedtomakeyourskillsandexperienceadvertised.D.TosucceedyouneedawinningcombinationofIQ,EQandRQ.解析:推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第三段中的“Buttosucceed,combiningahighEQandIQisnotenough.YoualsoneedtothinkaboutyourRQ.”可知,要想成功,把IQ和EQ结合起来是不够的,你还需要考虑你的RQ。也就是说需要综合运用IQ、EQ和RQ。故选D。答案:DCExploringworkpossibilitiesisquiteanemotionalchallengeforpeople.Thedesiretosimplifytheprocessbyfocusingononeattractiveoption,insteadofkeepingyoureyesopenforevenmorepossibilitiestoaddtoyourlist,canbeverystrong.Naturally,we’drathermakeadecisionandgetonwithourlives.8.However,puttingoffadecisionuntilafteryouhavedoneyourdetectiveworkcanpayoffinwaysyoucan’tevenimaginenow.So,learntoexploreworkpossibilitiesasthoughitwasatreasurehunt.
