【答案】31.B32.D33.A34.B

【解析】

【導(dǎo)語】本文講述了工作中的合作通常被視為一件好事，但也存在“群體思維”的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。通過一項(xiàng)研究，探

討了不同合作方式對(duì)工作表現(xiàn)的影響，發(fā)現(xiàn)間歇性合作能在創(chuàng)新和平均結(jié)果上取得更好的平衡。

【31題詳解】

詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)“Whenpeopleknowabouttheviewsofothers,they5remorelikelytofollow,astheydonot

wanttolookfoolishoydeviatingfromtheviewofmostpeople.”可知，當(dāng)人們知道別人的觀點(diǎn)時(shí)，他們更有

可能跟隨，因?yàn)樗麄儾幌胍驗(yàn)槠x大多數(shù)人的觀點(diǎn)而顯得愚蠢，因此"deviating”意為“不同”，故選B。

【32題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)"Theintermittentcollaboratorsfoundtherightresultasoftenastheindividualists,andgota

betteraveragesolution”可知，間歇性合作促進(jìn)了表現(xiàn)，故選D。

【33題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)"Fashionhouseswithco（聯(lián)合的）-creativedirectorsareratedaslesscreativethanbrandsthat

wereindividuallyled”可知，擁有共同創(chuàng)意總監(jiān)的時(shí)裝公司被認(rèn)為不如單獨(dú)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的品牌有創(chuàng)意，所以單一領(lǐng)

導(dǎo)的時(shí)尚公司更具創(chuàng)造性，故選A。

【34題詳解】

最佳標(biāo)題題。根據(jù)全文內(nèi)容，尤其是最后一段"Inshort,collaborationmaybeausefultool,butitdoesn'twork

ineverysituation”可知，文章討論了合作在何種情況下有效，故選B。

七、閱讀與表達(dá)（48—50題每題2分，51題4分，共10分）

閱讀短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問題。
