1.【解析】选B。考查上下文逻辑关系。前文是说“在当今的世界,很多任务是靠团队完成的。大多数人认为建立一个伟大的团队的最好方式是聚集一群最有天赋的个人”;而后文说“公司花数百万雇用顶尖商业人才,花那么多的钱值得吗?”所填空处承上启下,具体说一个例子,比如说运动团队,故选B。millions是关键词。2.【解析】选E。考查上下文逻辑关系。根据下文“Theyfocusedonfootball,basketballandbaseball.”,故E项“最近几份研究核查了天才在运动界的角色”,前后对应,故选E。
3.【解析】选G。考查上下文逻辑关系。根据下文“Inbaseball,theperformanceofindividualplayersislessdependentonteammates.”,是说棒球主要靠个体,而不是靠团队的力量,棒球与足球和篮球不同,故选G。individual是关键词。4.【解析】选D。考查上下文逻辑关系。根据上文“Youngchildrenlearningtoplayteamsportsareoftentold”以及所举的例子可知,本部分是说篮球是需要团队的力量的,不突出个人,故D项“显然,顶尖队员并不遵守这种体育精神的基本原则”,与前面相呼应。
您好，谢谢观看！
5.【解析】选F。考查上下文逻辑关系。根据后文“AnA-teammayrequireabalance—notjustAplayers,butafewgenerousBplayersaswell.”可知,建立一个理想的团队需要达到一个平衡点,不仅仅需要顶尖运动员,这其实是很复杂的一件事,故选F。
