问题     Intelligence makes for better leaders—from undergraduates to executives to presidents—according to multiple studies. It certainly makes sense that handling a market shift or legislative logjam (僵局) 【C1】________cognitive oomph (活力). But new research on leadership suggests that, at a certain【C2】________, having a higher IQ stops helping and starts hurting.
    Although【C3】________research has shown that groups with smarter leaders perform better by objective measures, some studies have hinted that followers might【C4】________view leaders with supreme intellect as less effective. Decades ago Dean Simon ton, a psychologist at the University of California, Davis, proposed that brilliant leaders’ words may simply go over people’s heads, their solutions could be more【C5】________to implement and followers might find it harder to relate to them.
    The researchers looked at 379 male and female business leaders in 30 countries, across fields that included banking, retail and technology. The managers took IQ tests and each was rated on leadership style and effectiveness by an average of eight co-workers. IQ positively correlated with ratings of leader effectiveness, strategy formation, vision and several other【C6】________—up to a point. The ratings peaked at an IQ of around 120, which is higher than roughly 80 percent of office workers. Beyond that, the ratings【C7】________.
    The researchers suggest that the right interpretation of the finding would be that it【C8】________a need to understand what high-IQ leaders do that leads to lower perceptions by followers. Leaders should use their intelligence to generate creative metaphors that will persuade and【C9】________others—the way former US President Barack Obama did. The only way a smart person can signal their intelligence【C10】________and still connect with the people is to speak in charismatic (有超凡魅力的) ways.

选项
答案K
解析 动词辨析题。空格位于主语从句中，it是形式主语，从句的主语是动名词短语handling a market shift or legislative logjam，宾语是 cognitive oomph，因此该从句缺少谓语动词，根据上下文时态可知，空格处应填入动词第三人称单数形式。文章开篇提到了智力对领导者的重要性，随后举例说明，指出应对市场变化或法律僵局都________认知活力。备选动词中只有highlights和requires符合语法要求，但是highlights“使……突出，强调”与此处语义不符，故空格处应填入requires“要求”。
