(2019·*高考)Much of the work in today's world is accomplished (完成) in teams. Most people believe the best way to build a great team is to gather a group of the most talented individuals. __1__ Companies spend millions hiring top business people. Is their money well spent?
__2__ They focused on football, basketball and baseball. The results are mixed. For football and basketball, adding talented players to a team proves a good method, but only up to the point where 70% of the players are top talent;above that level, the team's performance begins to decline. Interestingly, this trend isn't evident in baseball, where additional individual talent keeps improving the team's performance.
To explain this phenomenon, the researchers explored the degree to which a good performance by a team requires its members to coordinate (协调) their actions. __3__ In baseball, the performance of individual players is less dependent on teammates. They conclude that when task interdependence is high, team performance will suffer when there is too much talent, while individual talent will have positive effects on team performance when task interdependence is lower. If a basketball star is, for example, trying to gain a high personal point total, he may take a shot himself when it would be better to pass the ball to a teammate, affecting the team's performance. Young children learning to play team sports are often told, “There is no I in TEAM.” __4__
Another possibility is that when there is a lot of talent on a team, some players may make less effort. Just as in a game of tugofwar (拔河比赛), whenever a person is added, everyone else pulls the rope with less force.
__5__ An Ateam may require a balance—not just A players, but a few generous B players as well.
A.It's not a simple matter to determine the nature of talent.
B.Sports team owners spend millions of dollars attracting top talent.
C.The group interaction and its effect drew the researchers' attention.
D.Stars apparently do not follow this basic principle of sportsmanship.
E.Several recent studies examined the role of talent in the sports world.
F.Building up a dream team is more complex than simply hiring the best talent.
G.This task interdependence distinguishes baseball from football and basketball.
【回答】
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了优秀人才在团队建设中的作用、地位和分布比例等。通过几项研究,得出的结论是:一个好的团队,其成员构成需要平衡,既要有优秀的人,也要有普通的人。在团队建设中优秀人才的引进不能简单地搞“一*切”。
1.B 根据空格前句意:“大多数人认为建一个好的团队的最好方法是聚集一群最有天赋(talented)的个人”,并结合空格后“公司花数百万(millions)雇用顶级商业人士”,可知B项“体育队的老板花数百万(millions)美元吸引体育天才(talent)”符合语境,并且其中的millions和talent与上下文对应,故应选B项。
2.E 根据空格后的“The results are mixed.”可知,空格处是研究的结果,选项E中的several recent studies与之对应,故*为E。
3.G 空格后先是提到了baseball,后又提到了basketball,对天才球员在这两项运动中所起的作用进行了研究,由此可知,空格处涉及baseball和basketball。选项G中的baseball,football,basketball与之对应,故*为G。
4.D 根据空格前的“学习参加团队运动的小孩子经常被告知‘团队里没有个人’”可推断出,选项D “明星们很明显不遵守体育精神这一基本原则”符合语境,故*为D。
5.F 根据空格后的“一个优秀的团队需要平衡”可知,F项“建立一支梦之队比单纯雇用最优秀的人才更复杂”符合语境,故*为F。
