【1】考查對上下文語境的理解�？涨熬湟猓核�以我就想看看能從那些聰明的家伙身上學到點什么。結(jié)合下文列舉了聰明人的五個方面的行為。可知這里用E（現(xiàn)在，我已經(jīng)知道什么樣的人聰明了。）符合上下文。故選E。

【2】考查對上下文語境的理解。空前句意：也許他們會涉足社交媒體。不是一貫如此，只是有可能而已�？蘸缶湟�：他們也能使用社交媒體來確保他們用從未有過的體驗來滋養(yǎng)他們的大腦。根據(jù)這里的also可知，用A（這不僅是傾聽的機會。）符合上下文。故選A。

【3】考查對上下文語境的理解。此小題是本段的主題句。根據(jù)下文的描述，聰明的人從來不會為”平衡工作和生活”這樣的事情傷腦筋。他們似乎會全身心的投入正在做的事，他們面面俱到，他們努力的走好每一步來讓生活更加完美、更加平衡。故這里用G（他們完美處理家庭，工作和個人興趣。）作為主題句合適。故選G。

【4】考查對上下文語境的理解。空前句意：他們知道自己是屋子里最聰明的人，但不會花時間去沾沾自喜�？蘸缶湟猓耗蔷褪�，他們挑戰(zhàn)自己能否把屋子里的其他人也變得一樣的聰明。故這里用C（他們會把這當作對自己的挑戰(zhàn)。）符合上下文。故選C。

【5】考查對上下文語境的理解�？涨熬湟猓喝绻�他們是經(jīng)理級別的人物，他們會努力讓別人在整個團隊中看上去比他們還要聰明、 親密和受歡迎。空后句意：他們不會感到威脅，因為聰明有相互促進的作用�？芍�這里用F（他們也會確保這些聰明人看起來更聰明。）符合上下文。故選F。
