问题     I was recently reading an article in an English newspaper about how in England a number of researchers have been studying the 【S1】______ of people who are geniuses or who are 【S2】______ talented, in an effort to discover what types of people become great scientists, artists or entrepreneurs. Their goal is to try to identify 【S3】______ individuals at an early age and try to assist them, or at least reduce the barriers to accomplishment. If we can make life easier and better for these types, they will have a more profound 【S4】______ on society.
    According to the article, one of the reasons this research has become 【S5】______ is because of the perception that there is a tremendous gap in 【S6】______ between Europe and the US. For some reason, although the two places have 【S7】______ levels of wealth and similar cultural backgrounds, the US has always been a center of 【S8】______ creativity in the arts, sciences and business, whereas European creativity has been much more muted, at least in the past fifty years. For example, over 70% of Nobel Prizes are 【S9】______ to Americans, and this figure would be even larger if foreigners who studied or taught in the US were 【S10】______ . To understand why US society so much more creative would be useful in helping other countries to do the same.

A) pleasure            B) creativity         C) exceptional          D) characteristics  
E) impact              F) similar            G) awarded              H) included
I) extraordinarily     J) urgent             K) explosive            L) invention
M) discovery           N) effect  
【S5】

选项

答案J

解析 空格中需填入形容词。空格所在句子意为“这项研究之所以变得迫切是因为科学家们感到美国人和欧洲人在创造力方面的巨大差异。”urgent意为“紧迫的,迫切的”。其他选项中的形容词在语义上不符合要求。
