33、indeed been bullies and victims of bullying.Since bullying is often ignored, it may provide an important clue in crowd behavior and passerby behavior. _4_ Many of them have suggested bullying as one of the reasons of this coldness.

37、 throughout history have tried to defend their bullying behavior by claiming that they themselves were bullied.”可知,历史上的许多侵略者通过宣称他们自己是被欺凌者,而为他们的欺凌行为辩护。再结合段末的“victims of bulling”可知,此处指研究表明曾经的受害者经常会变成欺凌者,故选A项。3D上文中提到历史中有很多这样的人,所以下面就拿希特勒为例来说明。D项(例如,据称希特勒在童年时期就是欺凌行为的受害者。)符合语境,故选D项。4B由设空后出现的“Many of them
38、have suggested”可知,该处应有复数指人的名词与“them”相对应,且上一句中的线索词“ignored”,“crowd”,“passerby”与B项中的“inactivity”,“crowds”,“bystanders”相吻合。B项(当犯罪行为发生在人多的地方时,心理学家对人群和旁观者的不作为感到困惑。)符合语境,故选B项。5F由设空处上一句的内容及关键词“not only”可知,该处应提及另外一些人群也对暴力行为视若无睹,结合下一句提及欺凌行为不仅影响被欺凌者,也影响他的朋友和同学,甚至整个社会可知,F项(欺凌者的同学、朋友和受害者也将暴力视为正常的事。)符合语境,故选F项。(2
39、019成都高中毕业班第二次诊断性检测)Twentyfive years of experience in the field have convinced me that many people who consider themselves to be highly intelligent are not necessarily good thinkers. _1_ There are many aspects of this trap but I shall mention just two.A highly intelligent person can take a view on a
40、subject and then use his or her intelligence to defend that view. _2_ When a person has a better defence of the view, he or she is less likely to seek out alternatives or listen to anyone else. _3_ As a result, many highly intelligent minds are trapped in poor ideas because they can defend them so w
41、ell.A second aspect of the intelligence trap is that a person, who has grown up with the notion that he or she is more intelligent than those around, wants to get the most satisfaction from that intelligence. _4_ Such a strategy gives you an immediate result and also establishes your superiority. Be
42、ing constructive is much less rewarding. It may take years to show that a new idea works. _5_ So it is obvious that being critical and destructive is a much more appealing use of intelligence. This is made even worse by the absurd Western notion that critical thinking is enough.AThey get caught in t

44、eone else wrong.GIf you know that you are right, why should you do either of those things?篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了高智商误区常见的两个表现。1A承接上文中的“highly intelligent”并和空后一句中的“trap”呼应可推知,A项(自以为高智商的人会陷入智商误区)符合语境。2E空前一句讲的是高智商的人会用自己的智商来维护自己的观点,因此E项(高智商的人会更好地维护自己的观点)是对上文的总结;同时与下文中的“When a person has a better defence of
45、the view”呼应。3G根据空前的“he or she is less likely to seek out alternatives or listen to anyone else”可知,当一个人能更好地维护自己的观点时,其就不会去找其他方法或去聆听别人。找其他方法或去聆听别人对应G项中的either of those things,故G项符合语境。4F根据空后一句“Such a strategy gives you an immediate result and also establishes your superiority.”可知,这种策略立竿见影。Such a strateg
46、y也就是指选项F中的“The quickest and most reliable way”,故F项符合语境。5D根据空后的“So”可推知,空处与空前一句“It may take years to show that a new idea works.”为顺承关系,继续说明建设性观点的劣势所在,故选D项(你还不得不依赖听者喜欢你的观点)。(2019全国卷)In an online class, developing healthy patterns of communication with professors is very important. _1_ While I have only
