Now Simonton and two colleagues have finally【C8】________that idea.
The researchers【C9】________379 male and female business leaders in 30 countries,【C10】________fields that included banking, retail and technology.

1.【C1】(B)
A. incurs criticism
B. makes sense
C. raises suspicion
D. arouses curiosity
解析：本题考查动词短语辨析。空格的上文“智慧造就更好的领导者”与空格句的主述对象“应对市场转变或立法僵局需要高认知能力(即高智商)”之间存在平行语义关系，且两句间并无逻辑关系词、但末句有转折逻辑词But，故可推测首两句间为顺承关系，两句与末句共同形成今昔对比关系(multiple studies vs new research)，唯有B项makes senses符合逻辑。
2.【C2】(A)
A. harmful
B. promising
C. insignificant
D. essential
解析：本题考查形容词辨析。空格句指出，但是关于领导力的新研究表明，在某种程度上，拥有更高的智商可能被视为________。由句中But new research…suggests that…可知，空格句与上文所述的研究结论形成转折逻辑。上文的研究结论“智慧造就更好的领导者”指出高智商的益处(better)，故空格句应指出其有害之处，A项harmful符合文意。C项insignificant形容某事物“无足轻重或微不足道，不值得担忧”，侧重于重要性，而文意侧重于利弊，故排除。
3.【C3】(D)
A. After
B. Unless
C. Since
D. Although
解析：本题考查句内语义逻辑。空格句指出，曾有研究表明具有更聪明领导者的团队表现更好，有些研究暗示追随者可能在主观上会认为具有极高智商的领导者不那么有效。空格所在的前半句指出更聪明领导者的优势，后半句指出“追随者对高智商领导者的负面评价”，前后构成转折逻辑。D项Although符合文意。
4.【C4】(C)
A. relevant
B. external
C. objective
D. critical
解析：本题考查形容词辨析。空格所在的后半句指出，追随者的主观看法(subjectively view…)：具有极高智商的领导者更低效。由上题可知，两句问为转折逻辑，故空格所在的前半句应与之相对，“具有更聪明领导者的团队表现更好”依据的应是客观标准，C项objective符合文意。
5.【C5】(A)
A. hinted
B. imagined
C. denied
D. misinterpreted
解析：本题考查动词辨析。空格句指出，一些研究已经________追随者可能会在主观上认为具有极高智商的领导者更低效。由下文“数十年前，心理学
