题型:不详难度:来源:
According to the dictionary definition of“create, ordinary people are creative every day”.To create means“to bring into being, to cause to exist something each of us does daily”.
We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way. First, this includes an awareness of our surroundings. It means using all of our senses to become aware of our world. This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture(质地),as well as taste, when we plan a meal. Above all, it is the ability to notice things that others might miss.
A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things. If we believe the expression,“There is nothing new under the sun, the creativity is remaking or recombining(***) the old in new ways.”For example, we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture, or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters to create an unusual photograph.
A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas, to ask for them to achieve some new results. To think up a new idea is one thing; to put the idea to work is another.
These three parts of creativity are included in all the great works of geniuses, but they are also included in many of our day-to-day activities.
小题1:“There is nothing new under the sun” really implies that _________.
A.a new thing can only be created at the basis of earliest things
B.a new thing is only a tale
C.we can seldom create new things
D.we can hardly see really new things in the world
小题2:What does the author think about the relationship between a new thought and its being put into practice?
A.It’s more difficult to create a new thought than to use it in practice.
B.To find a new thought will clearly lead to the production of a new thing.
C.A man with an excellent ability of practice can easily become an inventor.
D.One may come up with a new thought, but can not put it into practice.
小题3:The best title for this passage is__________.
A.How to Develop One’s CreativityB.What Is Creativity
C.The Importance of CreativityD.Creativity, a Not Faraway Thing

答案
小题1:A
小题2:D
小题3:B
解析

小题1:A 根据短文第二段中的 “There is nothing new under the sun, the creativity is remaking or recombining(***) the old in new ways.”此句意为:世界上本来就没有什么新鲜的事,创造力就是用新的方法重做或***旧的东西。以及后文“For example, we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture, or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters to create an unusual photograph.”可见“There is nothing new under the sun”其实暗含着新的东西只有在最早期的基础上创造出来的。故应选A.
小题2:D 根据短文倒数第二段中的最后一句“To think up a new idea is one thing; to put the idea to work is another.”可知,想到一个新的想法是一回事,而实现这种想法又是另一回事。故选项D正确。
小题3:B 这篇短文主要论述什么叫创造力,并且进行了分类。很显然选项B为最佳答案。

QUESTION: Dear Gloria,
I need lab experiments. The teenage students and I will use data from these experiments to make charts, graphs, tables, etc. and to provide claims and evidence to explain more about the results. Thank you very much.
Donna
ANSWER:
Hi there,
Your best and easiest way is to do some chemistry experiments. Those are very easy and most probably you can do it in the lab and have charts, etc. for you. I do not have any particular one at the top of my head because I do cancer research and it is a bit more difficult than research for teenagers. I think you can look through these and see if you find something useful for you. http://www.siraze.net/chemistry/sezennur/experiments.htm

Flying over a desert in an airplane, two scientists looked down with trained eyes at trees and bushes.After an hour’s flight, one of the scientists wrote in his notebook, "Look here for probable metal." Walking across hilly ground, four scientists reported, "This ground should be searched for metals." From an airplane over a hilly wasteland a scientist sent back by radio one word "Uranium".
None of the scientists had X-ray eyes: they had no magic powers for looking down below the earth’s surface.They were merely putting to use one of the newest methods of locating minerals in the ground -- using trees and plants as signs that certain minerals may lie under the ground on which the trees and plants are growing.
This newest method of searching for minerals is based on the fact that minerals deep in the earth may affect the kind of bushes and trees that grow on the surface.
At Watson Bar Creek, a mineral search group gathered bags of tree seeds.Boxes were filled with small branches from the trees.Roots were dug and put into boxes.Each bag and box was carefully marked.In a scientific laboratory the parts of the forest trees were burned to ashes and tested.Each small part was examined to learn whether there were minerals in it.
Study of the roots, branches and seeds showed no silver.But there were small amounts of gold in the roots and a little less gold in the branches and seeds.The seeds growing nearest to the tree trunk had more gold than those growing on the ends of the branches.
If the trees indicated that there was no gold in the ground, the scientists wouldn’t spare money to pay for digging into the ground.
小题1:Scientists were flying over a desert or a hilly wasteland or a mountain region to _____.
A.train their eyesB.study the trees
C.look for goldD.search for minerals
小题2:The study of trees, branches and roots indicated that ______.
A.there were larger amounts of gold in the branches far from the tree trunk than in the seeds
B.there were smaller amounts of gold in the tree roots deep in the ground than in the branches
C.there were larger amounts of gold in the seeds growing closer to the tree trunk than in the seeds farther from it
D.there were larger amounts of gold in the branches than in the leaves on the ends of the branches
小题3:Which of the following is NOT mentioned as part of a tree that can help the searchers?
A.leavesB.rootsC.branchesD.seeds
小题4:Which of the following might be the best title for this passage?
A.Scientists searching for treasure with special equipment.
B.New methods of doing geological study.
C.Gold could be found in trees and plants.
D.A new method of searching for minerals.

Creativity(创造性)is the key to a brighter future, say education and business experts. Here is how schools and parents can encourage this important skill in children.
      If Dick Drew had listened to his boss in 1925, we might not have a product that we now think of as very important: a new type of tape. Drew worked for the Minnesota Mining Company. At work he developed a kind of material strong enough to hold things together. But his boss told him not to think more about the idea. Finally, using his own time, Drew improved the tape, which now is used everywhere by many people. And his former company learned from its mistake. Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their work time just thinking and developing new ideas.
      Creativity is not something one is just born with, nor is it necessarily an indicator of high intelligence. Just that a person is highly intelligent does not mean that he uses it creatively. Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce new ideas that are good for something.
      Unfortunately, schools have not tried to encourage creativity. With strong attention paid to test results and the development of reading, writing and mathematical skills, many educators give up creativity for correct answers. The result is that children can give back information but can’t recognize ways to use it in new situations. They may know the rules correctly, but they are unable to use them to work out practical problems.
      It is important to give children choices. From an early age, children should be allowed to make decisions and understand their results. Even if it’s choosing between two food items for lunch, decision-making helps thinking skills. As children grow older, parents should let their children decide how to use their time or spend their money, but not help them too much if they make the wrong decision. The child may have a hard time, but that is all right. This is because the most important characteristic of creative people is a very strong desire to find a way out of trouble.
小题1:What did the company where Dick Drew worked learn from its mistake?
A.They encouraged people to work longer.
B.They discouraged people to think freely.
C.They asked people to spend all their work time developing new ideas.
D.They encouraged people to spend some of their work time considering and
improving new ideas.
小题2:Creativity is something ______.
A.that people are born with
B.that depends on intelligence
C.that is a way of using what one has learnt to work out new problems
D.that is not important
小题3:Why don’t schools try to encourage creativity?
A.They don’t understand the importance of education.
B.They don’t want their students to make mistakes.
C.They pay too much attention to examination marks and language skills.
D.They think it more important to remember information.
小题4:What should the parents do when their children decide how to spend their money?
A.Try to help them as much as possible.
B.Take no notice of whatever they do.
C.Help them if their decision is wrong, but not too much.
D.Leave them as they are.
