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  
【S1】
选项
答案D
解析 空格中需填入名词作study的宾语。该句说研究人员开始研究杰出人才的______，后面又提出此研究是为了发现哪种人能够成为杰出人物，故选择 characteristics，该词意为“特征，特点”。另外，characteristic可作形容词使用，用在be characteristic of中，表示“具有……特色”。
