Question

15．Unless you think you're the smartest，who doesn't want to be smarter？Of course I want to be smarter too，so I try to find out who's the real smart guy that maybe I can learn from．（36）D．Here are the signs of smart people：
They don't talk as much as you，because they know they got smart by listening．
They probably do social media．Not always，but probably．（37）A They also use this to ensure they can feed their brains with things they otherwise won't have come across．
^（38）F They never bother their head about the problem of"work-life balance"and somehow manage to seem 100% employed in what they're doing，even though you know they're taking proper steps behind the scenes to make sure their lives are well balanced．
They know they are the smartest person in the room，but they don't spend their time talking about that．
（39）B That is，they challenge themselves to see if they can make everyone else the smartest person in the room，too．
They never，ever，under any circumstances，make you look stupid，even though it would be easy to do so．They've learned through bitter experience that the only thing that happens when you make someone look bad is that you look bad yourself．
If they are managers，they will make every effort to get their people smarter，more connected and more popular than them in their teams．They're not threatened because they know that smartness is synergistic （相互促進(jìn)的）．（40）G

A．It is not only another chance to listen．
B．Instead，they take it as a personal challenge．
C．They know it is an advantage to them．
D．Now I have got an answer about whether someone's smart or not．
E．They'll be smiling even when things go very badly wrong．
F．They deal with home，work and personal interests perfectly．
G．They will also make sure their smart people look smarter than them for the same reason．

Answer 1

分析 本文是一篇說(shuō)明文閱讀，作者通過(guò)這篇文章主要介紹了聰明人的特征．

解答 36．D  細(xì)節(jié)理解題，本空承接上文，并引出下文內(nèi)容，空前提到"So I try to find out who's the real smart guy that maybe I can learn from"，下文羅列了一些聰明人的特征，故本空填D項(xiàng)"現(xiàn)在我對(duì)一個(gè)人是否聰明已經(jīng)有答案了"，故選D
37．A  細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知，下句中的"this"指代的是"a chance to listen"，而且A項(xiàng)中的"not only"與下句中的"also"呼應(yīng)，故選A．
38．F  細(xì)節(jié)理解題，本空總結(jié)本段的內(nèi)容，是本段的主旨句．根據(jù)下文中的"work-life balance""make sure their lives are well balanced"可知，本段講的聰明人的特征就是"他們能完美地處理家庭、工作和個(gè)人愛(ài)好（之間的關(guān)系）"，故選F．
39．B  細(xì)節(jié)理解題，下文中的"they challenge themselves"與C項(xiàng)中的"as a personal challenge"相呼應(yīng)，故選B．
40．G  細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)上文中的"they will make every effort to…than them in their teams"及"they are managers"與G項(xiàng)的"their smart people"相呼應(yīng)可知答案，故選G．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 考查學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力．做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進(jìn)行比較，再做出正確選擇．在做推理判斷題時(shí)不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí)，要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．
