答案解析
D2
1. D。由第一段最后一句话“But latest research suggests that people can become stupider when working with others.”以及第三段和第四段的第一句话可知，很多被调查学生在群体中进行测验时，所得的IQ分值不如他们单个地测验时高。研究中分析了导致这一研究结果的原因——他们大脑里处理情绪和紧张的部分活动增多，所以答案为D。
2. C。由第四段“Researchers said that feelings of fear and other emotions make it more difficult for some people to do their best in group situations. If people worry too much about … As a result, their ability to solve problems could be weakened. ”可知C正确。由第二段“chose 70 college students who had gained similar high scores in their individual IQ tests”可知A项“a variety of scores”不对；第二段最后一句话提及了“Some still did well, but a number saw their IQ scores drop dramatically”，但没有提及具体所占比例，所以B项“Over half of the students”不对；由第三段“those who performed badly in the second test had more activity in some parts of their brains”可知D项的“had lower brain activity”不对。
3. B。由最后一段“Researchers said that this means that women feel more anxious and stressful than men in group situations and are more susceptible to how people think about them.”可知B项正确。文中没有提及男女智力本身的差异，也没有提及男性在群体工作中会比单独工作状态更好，只是提到了他们相比女性而言，受群体环境的影响相对要小，所以A、D都不对。C项前半截“Women are more socially aware of others”在文章最后提到了，但是后半截不能从文中推断出来，故也不对。
4. A。结合上文提到的“If people worry too much about whether they are as smart or cool as the others in the group, more of their brain power is diverted (转移) toward keeping up with others.”和“a lot more female students performed worse in the group test than male students”，可知，女学生在群体测验中表现不如男学生好，主要是她们更多关心别人对她们的看法，更容易受到他人评价的影响，所以susceptible在这里意思是“易受影响的”，故选A。
D3
1. C。从“I also own a successful business…I read everything, like all good entrepreneurs do…on marketing.”可推测出，entrepreneurs的意思应该是“企业家”。
2. C。从“My husband and I both owe our success to the knowledge we have gained through reading and studying”和倒数第三段的内容可知，作者认为读书使人成功，所以她和他的丈夫都很爱读书。
3. D。从第七段的“I read everything”可排除A。从第八段的“…I excitedly went through all my reading piles to select one bit of reading material…”可知B不对，D正确。C文中没有提到。
4. B。文章从始至终一直贯穿着作者对读书的喜爱，所以B最合适。Fascination的意思是“入迷，强烈爱好”。
