31、eek as many management roles的同义转述。a)是根据第4段最后一句设置的干扰；c)中的“感觉有义务”在文 中并没有体现；d)在文中找不到依据。3、b第3段第3句指出，美国高等教育体系设计并未重视学生在校学习几年后会得到的经济 成果，故答案为b)。其中的does not consider its economic impact是对is not designed to focus on the economic consequences的同义转述。a)和c)在文中没有提及；d)是 根据第4段最后一句中的tend to major in less rigorous subj

32、ects设置的干扰。 4、a这三句均指出大学经历是不平等的。根据文章可知，这里所说的不平等是指对男学生 和女学生来说，大学经历是不平等的，故答案为a)。其中的different是对unequal的 同义转述。b)是根据最后一段第2句中的still stumbling over设置的干扰；c)是根据 最后一段最后一句中的they are too exhausted设置的干扰；d)在文中没有提及。 5、d第4段第3句指出，研究表明，尽管女孩在高中时表现得比男孩好，但是在大学那几年， 她们的优势开始衰退，故答案为d)。其中的dont perform as well是对trail off的 同义转述。

33、a)和c)在文中没有提及；b)是根据该段最后一句中的tend to major in less rigorous subjects设置的干扰。6、a末段倒数第2句指出，女大学生在刚出校园时并没有就更高薪资进行谈判。最后一句解 释了原因：她们太累了，太害怕失败了。而这同样也是解释男性和女性之间薪酬差距 的原因，故答案为a)。其中的too worn out是对too exhausted的同义转述。b)和c)均 不是刚毕业的女性遇到的问题；d)中的“不善于”在文中得不到体现。passage two7、c解析 根据题干中的a groups iq将本题出处定位于文章前两段。文章第2段第2句提到，团队的智

34、商能够被测量，并且它和个体智商值一样可以 预测团队在完成各种不同任务时的表现。c是对该句的同义转述，其中的various tasks对应文中的a wide variety of tasks。第1段最后一句提到，研究团队的专家发现事 实并非如此，其中的so即指团队的智商仅仅是团队成员智商的平均，或者可能是团队 中最聪明成员的智商，因此团队智商并不等于团队中最聪明成员的智商，故排除a；b “(团队智商)能够帮助提高其成员的智商”原文未提及，故排除；d属于本末倒置，文 中说的是团队智商源于其成员之间的互动，而非团队智商使成员间的互动变成可能， 故d也与原文不符，可排除。8、a解析 根据题干中的ani

35、ta williams woolley将本题出处定位于第3、4段。文中第4段第2句破折号后提到，沃利提醒说，花时间讨论如何一起开展工作的 团队最终会更高效。由此可见，高智商团队的成员会更注重对工作进程的讨论。a中的 work process对应文中的how they will work。b属于反向干扰，喜欢立即开展工作的 团队并不那么高效，故排除b；c和d都属于无中生有，故排除。9、a解析 根据题干中的alex sandy pentland将本题出处定位于第5段第4句。第5段第4句提到，麻省理工学院一位研究团体动态的教授亚历克斯桑迪彭 特兰发现，在聪明的团队中，成员彼此之间直接沟通。由此可见，成员间的直接沟通 能够提高团队智商。a中的direct contact with each other对应文中提到的connect directly with one another。b属于过度推断，side conversations只是成员之间私 下沟通的一种表现，并不一定能提高团队智商；由文中提到的“掌控讨论的人和畏畏 缩缩不怎么发言的人都会降低团队智商”可排除c；d属于无中生有，文中没有提到团 队领导对团队智商的影响，因此也予以排除。10、b解析 根据题
