Ⅱ.七选五
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文，谁不想变得再聪明一点呢？文章阐述了聪明人的几个特征。
1．E 根据前一句“So I try to find out who's the real smart guy that maybe I can learn from.”(所以我试着找出谁是真正聪明的人，也许我可以向他/她学习。)再结合下文列举了聪明人的五个方面的行为，可知这里用E(现在，我已经知道一个人是否聪明。)符合上下文语境。故选E。
2．A 选项A中not only与后一句中的also符合逻辑关系，可知选项A符合语境。故选A。
3．G 此处是本段的主题句。根据下文的描述，聪明的人从来不会为“平衡工作和生活”这样的事情伤脑筋。他们似乎会全身心地投入正在做的事，他们努力地走好每一步来让生活更加完美、更加平衡。故G(他们完美地处理家庭、工作和个人业余爱好。)符合语境。故选G。
4．C 根据后一句“That is，they challenge themselves to make everyone else in the room the smartest person too.”中的That is可知，这句话是对设空处的解释和说明，they challenge themselves与选项C意义匹配，故选C。
5．F 前一句意思是：如果他们是经理，他们会努力让团队中的人们比他们更有关联和更受欢迎。而选项F(他们也会确保他们聪明的下属看起来比他们更聪明。)与之构成递进关系，符合语境。故选F。
