I have a pair of pants. Tell me: How many different ways can I put a pair of pants to use?

Now imagine you're Lady Gaga. Bill Gates. A scuba diver. An architect. You still have the pants. What other uses come to mind?

What you just practiced—the conscious act of “wearing” another self—is an exercise that, according to psychiatrist Srini Pillay, MD, is essential to being creative.

One problem about our understanding of creativity is that we tend to connect it to our concept of self: Either we're “creative” or we aren't, without much of a middle ground. “I'm just not a creative person！” a frustrated student might say in art class.

Dr Pillay, an assistant professor at Harvard University, has spent a good part of his career challenging these ideas. He believes that the key to unlocking your creative potential is to reject the old advice that urges you to “believe in yourself”. In fact, you should do the opposite: Believe you are someone else.

Dr Pillay points to a 2016 study where the authors—educational psychologists Denis Dumas and Kevin Dunbar—divided their college­student subjects into three groups, instructing one group to think of themselves as “poets” and another to imagine they were “librarians” (the third group was the control). The researchers then presented all the participants with ten ordinary objects, including a fork, a carrot, and a pair of pants, and asked them to come up with as many different uses as possible for each one.

Those who were asked to imagine themselves as poets came up with the widest range of ideas, whereas those in the librarian group had the fewest. Meanwhile, the researchers found only small differences in students' creativity levels across academic majors. In fact, the physics majors pretending to be poets came up with more ideas than the art majors did.

These results, write Dumas and Dunbar, suggest that creativity is not an individual trait but a “product of context and perspective.” Everyone can be creative, as long as he or she feels like a creative person.

本文为议论文。文章论述了如何让自己更有创造力，给读者展示了一种心理学理念——心理角色扮演：找到更有创造力的自己。

24．What is Dr Pillay's attitude to the findings of the 2016 study?

A．Supportive.   B．Doubtful.

C．Neutral.   D．Critical.

答案：A

解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的What you just practiced—the conscious act of “wearing” another self—is an exercise that, according to psychiatrist Srini Pillay, MD, is essential to being creative. (精神病学博士Srini Pillay认为，“穿着”另一个自我的有意识行为是一种锻炼，对创造力至关重要)及第六段中研究实验的内容可推知，Srini Pillay博士对2016年的一项相关研究实验是持支持态度的。故A选项正确。

25．Why does the author mention the physics majors had more ideas than the art majors in the experiment?

A．To prove that physics can help develop creativity.

B．To emphasize that creativity had little to do with majors.

C．To show that poets are really more imaginative than librarians.

D．To imply that physics majors are more creative than art majors.

答案：B

解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的Meanwhile, the researchers found only small differences in students' creativity levels across academic majors. In fact, the physics majors pretending to be poets came up with more ideas than the art majors did.(与此同时，研究人员发现，不同专业的学生在创造力水平上只有很小的差异。事实上，扮作诗人的物理专业的学生比艺术专业的学生有更多的想法)可推知，作者在实验中提到物理专业的学生比艺术专业的学生有更多的想法是为了强调创造力与专业无关。故选B。

26．Regarding creativity, which of the following statements will the author most likely agree with?

A．I am born to be uncreative.

B．I shall become creative when I grow up.

C．I have to learn poetry to be creative.

D．I can be a creative person if I feel like one.

答案：D

解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的Everyone can be creative, as long as he or she feels like a creative person.(每个人都可以有创造力，只要他或她觉得自己是一个有创造力的人)可推知，D项“如果我感觉像一个有创造力的人，我就可以成为一个有创造力的人”符合作者观点。故D选项正确。

27．Which of the following is the best title for the article?

A．Want to be creative? Just pretend!

B．How many ways can I use a pair of pants?

C．What is the mystery of creativity?

D．Everything we knew about creativity is wrong!

答案：A

解析：主旨大意题。根据全文描述可知，文章论述了如何让自己更有创造力，给读者展示了一种心理学理念——心理角色扮演：找到更有创造力的自己。由此可知，A项“想要有创造力吗？那就角色扮演吧！”适合做本文最佳标题。故A选项正确。

C

Qing­Feng Steamed Dumpling Shop. Daniang Dumpling. McDonald's. What do these companies have in common?

Well, besides all being fast food chains, their logos are all red. And it's not a coincidence. Color is one of the many that companies use to connect with customers. And if fast food wasn't hard enough, those red logos might make it even harder to ignore.

The average human can see ten million colors, but red is special. It's one of the first colors our ancient ancestors thought important enough to name. Early human languages were uncolorful. There were words for “black” and “white” and “red” but not much else.

As a result, we have a deeper connection to red than any other color and we react to it in certain ways that actually play to fast food companies' advantage. For starters, researchers have found that red can cause a sense of urgency. On top of that, it also has an ability to whet (刺激) our appetites. And when you pair those two together, you've got the perfect recipe to attract hungry customers who want food, fast.

So the red logo isn't just a welcoming sign. It's a seduction (诱惑) for your brain. Now, it's unclear why red makes us feel this way. But perhaps it has something to do with where the word comes from. Many ancient languages first named red from their word for “blood”. But red's bloody beginning has transformed. During medieval times, for example, red was worn by royals as a status symbol. And today, brides in many parts of India are married in red dress.

In fact, red is one of the few colors today that cultures all over the world view positively. And it's no wonder companies attach so much importance to their logos. After all, we're a visual species. Despite having five senses, 80% of the information our brains process on a daily basis comes from our eyes. And according to marketing company WebPageFX, nearly 85% of consumers say the main reason they choose one product over the other is color.

Just think what McDonald's would look like in blue, green, or pink! It's just not the same, right?

本文是一篇说明文，解释了快餐连锁店的商标为什么是红色的。

28．What is the writer's purpose in writing the text?

A．To introduce the origin of the color red.

B．To describe the use of colors in marketing.

C．To explain why many fast food logos are red.

D．To show how fast food companies attract customers.

答案：C

解析：作者意图题。根据第二段中的“Well, besides all being fast food chains, their logos are all red. And it's not a coincidence. Color is one of the many that companies use to connect with customers. And if fast food wasn't hard enough, those red logos might make it even harder to ignore.”以及下文可推断，庆丰包子铺和麦当劳等快餐连锁店的商标都是红色的，不是巧合，颜色是快餐连锁店和顾客建立联系的手段之一，如果说，戒掉快餐很难，那么想要忽略这些鲜艳的红色标志就更难了。因此推断作者写这篇文章的目的就是解释快餐连锁店的商标为什么是红色的，故C项正确。

29．What feeling will people probably have when seeing red fast food logos?

A．Relaxation.   B．Calmness.

C．Eagerness.   D．Contentment.

答案：C

解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“On top of that, it also has an ability to whet (刺激) our appetites.”可知，红色能够刺激食欲，让人们有一种想吃的渴望，故C项正确。

30．The two examples in Paragraph 5 are mentioned to show ________.

A．the meaning of red has changed

B．Indian people value red

C．red has something to do with blood

D．red indicates a high status

答案：A

解析：推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Many ancient languages first named red from their word for ‘blood’. But red's bloody beginning has transformed.”可知，红色的意义已经从过去的血腥发生改变，列举红色是皇室成员的身份象征和红色婚纱的例子就是为了证明这一点，故A项正确。

31．Why do companies pay much attention to their logos according to Paragraph 6?

A．Logos convey their values.

B．Logos awaken people's senses.

C．People process information daily.

D．People largely rely on what they see.

答案：D

解析：根据第六段中的“And it's no wonder companies attach so much importance to their logos. After all, we're a visual species”可知，快餐公司注重商标的颜色是因为我们都是视觉动物，很大程度上依赖所看到的，故D项正确。.

D

Five thousand square meters of old damaged cars, motorcycles and boats fill this junkyard. For a casual onlooker, this might be a very sad sight. But for Andy, it's a real treasure. “I've been a junk hoarder (囤积者) for my whole life and I like fixing up what shouldn't be thrown away. Around 200 old cars end up in this junkyard every week. Some of them are sold for parts, others get repaired, and still others are beyond repair.”

His father Bobby started the business some 50 years ago and still spends every morning there. The father and son have very different approaches to their work. They got a Dean cab that was getting thrown away and that was the father's project, which Andy did not want him to do. “He did basically the opposite of everything I told him and I think he did it just to make me mad. He dumped a ton of money into this car, but in the end it wouldn't run.” Andy said jokingly.

The unusual family business attracted the attention of a TV crew. That's how the show Janka Empire came to be featured on a network of the Discovery Channel. This show, five years of shooting, five seasons and 60 episodes (集), is popular. “There are hundreds of junkyards throughout the United States. I think what's interesting is that it is a family business. My father and I started the business and we joke very well back and forth and I think that's what people like. The cars that end up at the junkyard come out with endless surprises. See, this was a junk car and we restored it with a blown motor. Yet I don't get a chance to ride around it too often. Because despite its shining appearance, the noise of the engine is truly deafening and I worry my neighbors will not put up with it.”

本文是一篇记叙文。父亲和儿子有非常不同的工作方法。这个不寻常的家族企业引起了电视摄制组的注意。Janka Empire受欢迎的原因是鲍比和安迪在这个节目中以一种不同寻常的方式经营着他们的家族企业。

32．What does Andy seem to like about his junkyard?

A．It is very large.

B．It may be a bad sight.

C．It is amazing and valuable.

D．It is his life dreamland.

答案：C

解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中But for Andy, it's a real treasure. “I've been a junk hoarder (囤积者) for my whole life and I like fixing up what shouldn't be thrown away.”但对安迪来说，这是真正的财富。“我一生都是一个垃圾囤积者，我喜欢整理那些不该扔掉的东西。”可知，安迪认为他的垃圾场是惊人的和有价值的。故选C。

33．What can we infer from the “one Dean cab” case?

A．The father is ready to follow his son's advice.

B．The son is impatient and fed up with his father.

C．The father and son get on well with each other.

D．The father and son often disagree with each other.

答案：D

解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中The father and son have very different approaches to their work. They got a Dean cab that was getting thrown away and that was the father's project, which Andy did not want him to do.“父亲和儿子有非常不同的工作方法。他们得到了一辆正在被扔掉的迪安出租汽车，这是父亲的计划，但是安迪不想让他这么做。”可知，从“迪安出租汽车”事件可以看出父亲和儿子经常意见不合。故选D。

34．Why is the show Janka Empire popular?

A．There are hundreds of junkyards in the United States.

B．Bobby and Andy run their family business in an unusual way.

C．The show is a series of 5 seasons and 60 episodes.

D．Bobby and Andy can make the junk car attractive.

答案：B

解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中The unusual family business attracted the attention of a TV crew. That's how the show Janka Empire came to be featured on a network of the Discovery Channel. This show, five years of shooting, five seasons and 60 episodes (集), is popular.“这个不寻常的家族企业引起了电视摄制组的注意。这就是《扬卡帝国》节目在探索频道播出的原因。这部历时5年拍摄、5季60集的电视剧很受欢迎。”可知，Janka Empire受欢迎的原因是鲍比和安迪以一种不同寻常的方式经营着他们的家族企业。故选B。

35．Which of the following words can best describe Bobby and Andy?

A．Devoted and creative.

B．Funny and ridiculous.

C．Gentle and respectable.

D．Economical and wealthy.

答案：A

解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中I think that's what people like. The cars that end up at the junkyard come out with endless surprises.“我想这就是人们喜欢的。最终停在垃圾场的汽车会给人们带来无尽的惊喜。”可知，Bobby 和Andy是专注和具有创造力的。故选A。

解析：考查介词。句意：在超过540名已经开通公众号的被调查者中，5%的用户称已经利用公众号打造了自媒体品牌。此处用of或among表示“在……之中”，表示范围，故填Of或Among。

63．that/who

解析：考查定语从句的关系代词。句意参考上题解析。此处为定语从句，先行词为respondents，指人，关系词在从句中作主语，故填that或who。

64．had_built

解析：考查时态。句意：5%的用户称已经利用公众号打造了自媒体品牌。build这个动作发生在claimed之前，也就是过去的过去，应该用过去完成时，故填had built。

65．while

解析：考查连词。句意：5%的用户称已经利用公众号打造了自媒体品牌，而12.2%的用户表示通过公众号宣传获得了一定的收益。根据句意可知此处表示“而”，故填while。

Robert and Henry were two friends in the same class.They always played together and went home together. One day，Robert and Henry were going home from school，when，on turning a corner，Robert cried out，“A fight! Let's go and see！”

“No，”said Henry.“Let's go quietly home and not meddle with(插手)this quarrel.We have nothing to do with it and may get into trouble.Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don't want them to worry about me.”

“You are a coward，and afraid to go，”said Robert，and off he ran. Henry went straight home，and in the afternoon went to school as usual.

But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward，and they laughed at him a great deal.From then on，they looked down upon Henry and didn't want to play with him together.

Henry was sad but he wasn't angry with Robert for his rude behavior，because he learned that true courage is shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved，and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong.Thus，he just ignored the other boys' laughter and continued to go to school and study as well.However，Robert didn't invite Henry to go home with him anymore. Instead，he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward. Every day after school，they didn't go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun.

A few days later，Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river，and got out of his depth. He struggled，and screamed for help，but all in vain.The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could，but they did not even try to help him.

答案

Paragraph 1：

Robert was fast sinking. It seemed as if Robert would be drowned. Just at the moment, Henry happened to be passing by. Hearing the screams, Henry ran to the riverside, threw off his clothes and jumped into the water without hesitation. He reached Robert just as he was sinking the last time. By great effort, and with much danger to himself, he brought Robert to the shore.

Paragraph 2：

Thus, Robert's life was saved. Robert and his new friends were ashamed at having called Henry a coward. They realized that Henry had true courage. They said sorry to Henry for their rude behavior and asked for his forgiveness. Henry forgave them happily. He and Robert were friends again and they went home together as usual. From this, Robert learned what true courage was: never be afraid to do good, but always fear to do evil.
