【答案】

12.A13.D14.A15.B

【解析】

这是一篇议论文。

文章由问题“谁是天才？

”引入，论述了世人对天才的狭隘定义，提出事实上“天才”有很多种形式，不要让思维限制了我们的“天才”能力。

12.推理判断题。

根据第三段的“Itissaidthathistoryiswrittenbyvictors,andthosevictorssetthestandardsforadmissiontothegeniusclub.Whencontributionsweremadebygeniusesoutsidetheclub-women,orpeopleofadifferentcolororbelief-theywereunacknowledgedandrejectedbyothers.（据说历史是由胜利者书写的，而那些胜利者为进入天才俱乐部设定了标准。

当俱乐部以外的天才——女性或不同肤色或信仰的人——做出贡献时，他们不会被承认并且被其他人拒绝）”可推知，作者认为那些“胜利者”对进入“天才俱乐部”设置的标准是不公平的，因为女性或者不同肤色或信仰的人做出的成就是得不到承认的。

故选A。

13.推理判断题。

根据第四段的“Evenworse,thestudyfoundthatgirlsactonthatbelief.Aroundagesixtheystarttoavoidactivitiessaidtobeforchildrenwhoare“really,reallysmart.”（更糟糕的是，研究发现女孩们是按照这个信念行事的。

六岁左右，她们开始避免那些据说是“非常非常聪明”的孩子参加的活动）”可推知，女孩容易受到社会信仰的影响，认为自己在六岁左右就不适合做“聪明孩子”做的事情。

故选D。

14.细节理解题。

根据最后一段的“Inawiredworldwithconstantglobalcommunication,we’reallpositionedtoseeflashesofgeniuswherevertheyappear.（在一个全球通讯不断的有线世界里，我们随时随地都能看到天才的闪现）”可知，进步的全球通讯让更多的天才被公众所知道。

故选A。

15.主旨大意题。

根据文章的主要内容，结合文章第一段提出问题“Whoisagenius?

（谁是天才）”和最后一段的“Asawritersays,futuregeniusescomefromthosewith“intelligence,creativity,perseverance,andsimplegeniuses,whoareabletochangetheworld.”（正如一位作家所说，未来的天才来自那些具有“智慧、创造力、毅力和那些能够改变世界的简单天才。

”）”可知，天才不一定是那些有巨大贡献的人，他们也可以是某一方面比较突出的普通人。

由此可知B项“天才有多种形式”可以作为本文最佳标题。

故选B。

【答案】

32.A33.C34.D35.D

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。

作者通过自身经历讲述人们为什么不喜欢开放性办公室以及有关多少分贝的噪音最有利于人们的创造性思维的研究。

32.细节理解题。

根据第一段“That’swhyIhaveamembershipatthecoworkingspaceacrossthestreet-soIcanfocus.（这就是为什么我在街对面的公用办公空间有会员资格——这样我就可以集中精力了。

）”可知，采访者喜欢共享办公空间的原因是那里可以帮助他集中精力。

故选A项。

33.细节理解题。

根据第二段“Thedifferencesbetweenmostofthegroupswerestatisticallyinsignificant;however,theparticipantsinthe70decibelsgroup-thoseexposedtoalevelofnoisesimilartobackgroundchatterinacoffeeshop-significantlyoutperformedtheothergroups.（大多数组之间的差异在统计学上是不显著的；然而，音量为70分贝的那组参与者（置身于类似于咖啡店背景噪音的环境中）的表现明显好于其他组。

）”和第三段“Butsincetheresultsat70decibelsweresignificant,thestudyalsosuggeststhattherightlevelofbackgroundnoise-nottooloudandnottotalsilence-mayactuallyimproveone'screativethinkingability.（但由于70分贝的结果很显著，该研究还表明，适当的背景噪音——不要太大声，也不要完全安静——实际上可能会提高一个人的创造性思维能力。

）”可知，70分贝的那组参与者表现好于其他组，所以70分贝的噪音背景环境更有可能促进创造性思维能力。

故选C项。

34.细节理解题。

根据最后一段“Sowhydosomanyofushateouropenoffices?

……coffeeshopprovidesacertainlevelofnoisewhilealsoprovidingfreedomfrominterruptions.（那么，为什么我们中有那么多人讨厌开放式办公室呢？

问题可能是，在我们的办公室里，当我们试图集中注意力时，我们无法阻止自己卷入别人的谈话中。

的确，研究人员发现，面对面的互动和对话会影响创作过程，然而，共同工作空间或咖啡馆在提供一定程度的噪音的同时，也提供不受干扰的自由。

）”可知，开放式办公室不受人们欢迎的原因是让我们不断地卷入别人的谈话中，受到很多干扰。

故选D项。

35.推理判断题。

根据第一段“Duringaninterviewforoneofmybooks,myinterviewersaidsomethingIstillthinkaboutoften.（在一次采访我的一本书时，我的采访者说了一些我至今还经常想起的话。

）”可知，作者提到有人采访自己的书，所以可以推断，作者是一位作家。

故选D项。
