Imagine walking by a maple (枫树) tree that is n taller than a ruler. Yu may think that this is a special type f miniature tree, but it actually isn’t! Creating a tree like this is a frm f art called bnsai. Bnsai are tiny trees grwn in small pts. Bnsai can be any kind f tree.

Ken Rberts，the man wh fund the hare，had been lking fr it fr nearly tw years. Althugh he had been searching in the wrng area mst f the time，he fund it by lgic （逻辑），nt by luck. His success came frm the fact that he had gained an imprtant clue at the start. He had realized that the wrds："One f Six t Eight" under the first picture in the bk cnnected the hare in sme way t Katherine f Aragn，the first f Henry VIII's six wives. Even here，hwever，Williams had succeeded in misleading him. Ken knew that Katherine f Aragn had died at Kimbltn in Cambridgeshire in 1536 and thught that Williams had buried the hare there. He had been digging there fr ver a year befre a new idea ccurred t him. He fund ut that Kit Williams had spent his childhd near Ampthill，in Bedfrdshire，and thught that he must have buried the hare in a place he knew well，but he still culd nt see the cnnectin with Katherine f Aragn，until ne day he came acrss tw stne crsses in Ampthill Park and learnt that they had been built in her hnr in 1773.
Even then his search had nt cme t an end. It was nly after he had spent several nights digging arund the crss that he decided t write t Kit Williams t find ut if he was wasting his time there. Williams encuraged him t cntinue，and n February 24th 1982，he fund the treasure. It was wrth ￡3000 in the beginning，but the excitement it had caused since its burial made it much mre valuable.

Reversal—change yur perspective and slve yur prblem
It’s ften yur definitin f a prblem that limits yu in finding a suitable slutin. Creative slutins require a change f perspective. 16
The reversal technique is a creative thinking technique that is based n the thught that t change yur perspective, yu smetimes need t change the rder f the wrds in yur prblem definitin.
Hw yu change the rder f the wrds desn’t matter much, as lng as the key wrds are reversed. 17 Yur challenge is “Hw d we make sure that fewer peple take cars t their wrk?”. Swapping the key wrds, yu culd rephrase this challenge as “Hw d we make sure that fewer cars take peple t their wrk?” In this case, the first statement will make yu think f alternative means f transprtatin, like trains r bikes, while the secnd statement will prbably make yu think f slutins like carpling—fewer cars fr the same number f peple.
Nt every prblem statement is suitable fr a reversal. Smetimes using this technique requires yu t first rephrase the questin altgether. 18 Fr instance, the questin “hw might we sell mre washing machines?” is nt easily reversed—there is n key wrd t swap with “washing machines”. Yet, when yu rephrase the questin t “Hw might we sell mre washing machines t yung parents?” yu can easily change it t “Hw might we sell mre yung parents t washing machines? 19 Yu culd interpret this last sentence as “the washing machine pays the yung parents t try it ut”. Then, yu culd start cmmunicating t ptential buyers hw much they will save each year when they chse yur energy efficient washing machine.
As this example shws, sme reversals will require a very flexible way f thinking. 20 Hwever, thinking abut the tiny amunt f time it will “cst” yu t try ut a reversal, yu have very little t lse and, ptentially, lts t gain.
A．The secnd prblem statement is much mre lgical.
B．Often it helps t add ne mre key wrd t the sentence.
C．Rephrasing yur challenge is t change the prblem statement.
D．A great way t d this is by “reversing” yur prblem statement.
E．Fr instance, imagine yu are respnsible fr limiting the traffic jam in yur area.
F．Admittedly, it is a very unusual challenge, but it might just stimulate a creative thught.
G．Nt everyne will be able t mve frm an unreasnable statement t a useful slutin.

12．词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“The bk cntained a large number f clues t help readers find the hare，”可知，书中包含了大量的线索来帮助读者找到兔子，此处承接上文，说的是Williams在书中加入了大量的“误导”，即虚假的线索来误导读者，由此可知，此处 them指代上文的readers。故答案为D。
13．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“but he still culd nt see the cnnectin with Katherine f Aragn， until ne day he came acrss tw stne crsses in Ampthill Park and learnt that they had been built in her hnr in 1773.（但他仍然看不到与阿拉贡的凯瑟琳有什么联系，直到有一天他在安普特希尔公园发现了两个石制十字架，并得知它们是为纪念她而建于1773年）” 可知，阿拉贡的凯瑟琳是重要的线索。故答案为C。
14．细节理解题。首先比较 A、B、C、D四个选项中排序的异同，确认开头两项为 a、b，d、b，a、d 还是 b、a。根据第二段“He had realized that the wrds："One f Six t Eight" under the first picture in the bk cnnected the hare in sme way t Katherine f Aragn，the first f Henry VIII's six wives.（他意识到，书中第一页中的“六到八个人中的一个”将野兔与亨利八世的六位妻子中的第一位阿拉贡的凯瑟琳联系起来。）”中确认a.HenryⅧ's six wives在前；缩小范围看第二步，比较 b，d，由六位妻子中的一位将目标缩小到Katherine f Aragn，故d. Katherine f Aragn是第二位，结合选项可知答案为C .a，d， b，c，e，可以对照短文内容再来验证一下，接下来依次是：肯了解到阿拉贡的凯瑟琳1536年死在剑桥郡的金博尔顿，所以认为威廉姆斯把野兔埋在那里了；他发现Kit Williams的童年是在贝德福德郡的安普蒂尔附近度过的；他在安普蒂尔公园发现了两个石头十字架。故答案为C。
15．主旨大意题。根据文章首句“Treasure hunts have excited peple's imaginatin fr hundreds f years bth in real life and in bks such as Rbert Luis Stevensn's Treasure Island.（数百年来，无论是在现实生活中，还是在罗伯特·路易斯·史蒂文森的《金银岛》等书中，寻宝活动都激发了人们的想象力。）”可知文章接下来主要讲作家Kit Williams 在其作品中设计了一项现代寻宝活动以及Ken Rberts是如何找到宝藏的。结合选项可知B. A mdern treasure hunt.(现代寻宝)概括较为准确。其余三个选项在文中均有不同程度的涉及，但都只是一个环节或某一方面，不能成为贯穿始终的主题，应予舍弃。故答案为B。
16．D 17．E 18．B 19．F 20．G
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过举例子介绍了一种解决问题的思维方式——逆向思维，描述了它的好处和表现形式。
16．根据上文“Creative slutins require a change f perspective.（创造性的解决方案需要改变观点。）”以及下文“The reversal technique is a creative thinking technique（逆向技术是一种创造性思维技术）”可猜测，划线句写的是创造性的解决方案是逆向技术。D选项“A great way t d this is by “reversing” yur prblem statement.”（一个很好的方法是“颠倒”你的问题陈述。）符合题意，故选D项。

Swapping the key wrds, yu culd rephrase this challenge as “Hw d we make sure that fewer cars take peple t their wrk?””.（你面临的挑战是“我们如何确保开车上班的人更少?”换掉关键词，你可以把这个挑战重新表述为“我们如何确保更少的车载着人们去上班?”）”可知，本段是在举关键字颠倒过来的例子，并且有关于道路交通。E选项“Fr instance, imagine yu are respnsible fr limiting the traffic jam in yur area.”（例如，设想你要负责限制你所在地区的交通堵塞。）符合题意，故选E项。
18．根据前文“Smetimes using this technique requires yu t first rephrase the questin altgether.（有时使用这个技巧需要你首先重新表达问题。）”以及下文“Fr instance, the questin “hw might we sell mre washing machines?” is nt easily reversed—there is n key wrd t swap with “washing machines”.（例如，“我们如何才能卖出更多的洗衣机?”没有一个关键词可以和“洗衣机”互换。）”可知，重新表达问题与关键词有关。B选项“Often it helps t add ne mre key wrd t the sentence.”（通常，在句子中再加一个关键词是有帮助的。）符合题意，故选B项。
19．根据前文“Yet, when yu rephrase the questin t “Hw might we sell mre washing machines t yung parents?” yu can easily change it t “Hw might we sell mre yung parents t washing machines?（然而，当你把这个问题重新表述为“我们如何才能向年轻的父母出售更多洗衣机?”你可以很容易地把它改成“我们如何才能让更多的年轻父母喜欢洗衣机?”）”可知，这种办法可以激发创造性思维。F选项“Admittedly, it is a very unusual challenge, but it might just stimulate a creative thught.”（诚然，这是一个非常不寻常的挑战，但它可能会激发创造性思维。）符合题意，故选F项。
20．根据前文“As this example shws, sme reversals will require a very flexible way f thinking.（正如这个例子所示，一些反转将需要非常灵活的思维方式。）”以及后文“Hwever, thinking abut the tiny amunt f time it will “cst” yu t try ut a reversal, yu have very little t lse and, ptentially, lts t gain.（然而，考虑一下你尝试逆转的时间“成本”，你不会损失什么，但潜在地，你会得到很多。）”可猜测，做出这些反转很困难，要耗脑力。G选项“Nt everyne will be able t mve frm an unreasnable statement t a useful slutin.”（不是每个人都能从一个不合理的陈述变成一个有用的解决方案。）符合题意，故选G项。

41．t intrduce 42．in 43．that 44．What 45．cnsisting 46．their / the 47．cmbinatins 48．have becme 49．Basically 50．expensive
【解析】本文是说明文，介绍了车牌发展的历史。
41．考查不定式。句意：法国是1893年第一个引进车牌的国家。根据句型the+序数词+名词 t d sth，表示第几个做某事的...，此处动词需要用不定式形式，故填t intrduce。
42．考查介词。句意：早期的车牌形状和大小各不相同，由许多不同的材料制成，包括铁、纸板，甚至压榨大豆。differ in表示在某方面不同，此处表示在形状和大小上不同，故填in。
43．考查强调句。句意：事实上，直到1957年，汽车制造商和政府才就标准化车牌达成一致。本句是强调句，句式为it was +被强调部分+that/wh...，此处被强调部分是物，连接词应用that，故填that。
44．考查连词。句意：首先在英国注册的是A1。本句是主语从句，从句缺少主语，表示物，应用what，故填What。
45．考查现在分词。句意：目前，英国使用的车牌是由一系列字母和数字组成的。分析句子结构，主语是 number plates，谓语动词是are applied，所以cnsist是非谓语动词，cnsist和number plates之间是主动关系，需要用现在分词形式，故填cnsisting。
46．考查冠词。句意：系统已经改变了很多次，因为这些字母和数字的组合一直在耗尽。此处特指systems，需要用定冠词the，故填the。
47．考查名词复数。句意：系统已经改变了很多次，因为这些字母和数字的组合一直在耗尽。本句主语由these修饰，所以主语应用名词复数形式，故填cmbinatins。
48．考查时态。句意：在过去的几十年里，一些车牌变得非常有价值，尤其是那些印有文字的车牌。根据时间状语 In the past decades，可知应用现在完成时态，主语number plates是复数，助动词have用原形形式，故填have becme。
49．考查副词。句意：基本上，盘子上的数字可以用来代表单词或单词的一部分。此处需要用副词修饰后面的句子，故填Basically。
50．考查形容词。句意：有史以来最昂贵的数字是“M1”,一位匿名买家收购了￡331000。此处用形容词做定语，修饰名词number。故填expensive。
51．1.去掉 the 2.exact→exactly 3.fr→thrugh 4.either→als 5.sme→any 6.在allwed后面加t 7.museum→museums 8.withut→with 9.Making→Make 10.understd→understand
【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了公共场所许多不同的标志。
【详解】1.考查冠词。句意：公共场所有许多不同的标志。in public“当众”是固定短语。故去掉 the。
2.考查副词。句意：你知道它们到底是什么意思吗？修饰动词mean应用副词。故将exact改为exactly。
3.考查介词。句意：例如，如果你去看电影，你应该从入口处进入电影院，从出口处离开。leave fr“去某地”不符合句意；应用介词thrugh，表示“从出口离开，通过出口处离开”。故将fr改为thrugh。
4.考查副词“也”的表达。句意：你也会在许多电影院看到禁止吸烟的标志。either表示“也”用于否定句，此处为肯定句，应用als表示“也”。故将either改为als。
5.考查sme和any的区别。句意：如果你参观博物馆，不要在大厅里拍照。sme常用于肯定句，any常用于否定句。故将sme改为any。
6.考查动词不定式。句意：你是不被允许的。be allwed t d sth“被允许做某事”固定句型，动词不定式省略动词原形保留t。故在allwed后面加t。
7.考查名词复数。句意：你会在许多博物馆找到禁止拍照的标志。many后应用名词复数作介词in的宾语。故将museum改为museums。
8.考查介词。句意：当你开车时，不要把车停在有禁止停车标志的街道上。介词withut表示“没有”，with表示“有”，根据句意可知，不要把车停在有禁止停车标志的街道上。故将withut改为with。
9.考查祈使句固定句型。句意：你一定要了解这些标志，这样你就不会陷入任何麻烦。根据句意可知，本句为“祈使句+and+简单句”句型，应用动词原形构成祈使句。故将Making改为Make。
10. 考查时态。句意：同上。祈使句make sure后的宾语从句中应用一般现在时，描述现实情况。主语为yu，主谓一致，故将understd改为understand。
