8、f several people worked together to solve a problem than if only one individual works on it. Although groups often may increase the motivation of their members to deal with problems, there are conflicts arising among members of a group. Problem solving needs the presence of an effective leader who n
9、ot only provides direction, but also permits the orderly, constructive expression of different opinions; much of the leader“s effort may be devoted to resolving differences. Success in problem solving also depends on the distribution of ability within a group.Although groups may reach a greater numb
10、er of correct solutions, or may require less time to discover an answer, their efficiency is typically lower than that achieved by skilled individuals working alone. In brainstorming, a problem is presented to a group of people who then proceed to offer whatever they can think of. Theoretically thes

Nevertheless, studies show that when individuals work alone under similar conditions, performance tends to proceed more efficiently than it does in groups. Under special circumstances, however, a gro

Sometimes social demands may require group agreement on a single issue, as in making national economic or military policies un
13、der the governments. When only one among several solutions is correct, even if a group requires more time, it has a higher probability of identifying the right one than does an individual alone.（分数：10.00）(1).In a group, problem solving needs_.（分数：2.00）A.the presence of an effective leaderB.the best

32、 several theories. One theory claims that prehistoric birds of the Northern Hemisphere were forced south during the Ice Age. As the glaciers melted, the birds came back to their homelands, spent the summer, and then went south again as the ice advanced in winter. In time, the migration became a habi
33、t in spite of the disappearance of glaciers. Another theory proposes that the ancestral home of all modern birds was the tropics. When the region became overpopulated, many species were crowded north. During the summer, there was plenty of food, but during the winter, scarcity forced them to return
34、to the tropics. A more recent theory suggests a relationship between increasing daylight and the stimulation of certain glands (腺) in the birds“ bodies that may prepare them for migration. One scientist has been able to cause midwinter migrations by exposing birds to artificial periods of daylight.

38、irds should migrate in the middle of the winterB.longer days cause changes in the bodies of birdsC.seasonal changes in the length of days do not affect migrationD.increasing daylight increases the distance of migration(5).This passage supports the belief that_.（分数：2.00）A.exact reasons for migration
