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.

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.

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E
解析 动词辨析题。空格位于主语ratings之后，句中缺少谓语动词和宾语，且上文均为过去时态，故应填入不及物动词过去式作谓语。根据上文可知，领导者不是智商越高越好，超过一定程度，领导效果就会下降，故空格处应填入declined“下降”。
