Question

【題目】

When you imagine a new way of doing something and then find a way to do it, you are being creative. Generally, there are three steps to being creative. They are:

Step 1 Gaining knowledge and skills of how things are done

A solid knowledge and skills help you understand how to do something. Knowing when and how to apply this knowledge comes from studying how others have done things in the same situations. Think about learning to play the piano. In this step you learn how to read music and_______ the keys are on the piano. You also practise playing.

Step 2 Learning to_______ the way that people do those things

Practising how others do something will bring what you have learned and the practice of it together. Repeating other people’s skills will create a lot of _________ and increase understanding. So your next step in playing the piano would be seeing how other good musicians play, and repeating their songs and styles of playing.

Step 3 Exploring new and maybe better ways of doing them

Knowing the rules, but then using or breaking them in your_______ style is the basis of creativity. At this point in playing the piano, you might play songs in new ways; or even write songs and melodies (曲調(diào)). Being able to explore and improve on ideas requires time and effort to find out different ways of doing something.

Being creative is the useful ability to help solve problems effectively in many different situations. Being creative will often result in lots of ideas,_______ not all of them will be good ideas. That is why being creative is a process of trying - and trying again! Being able to come up with new ideas, and then_______ the better ideas, will make your life more successful. So start being creative today!

【解析】

這是一篇說明文，文章主要介紹有創(chuàng)造力的三個步驟：獲得做事的知識和技能，學(xué)會復(fù)制他人做事的方式和探索新的可能是更好的做這些事的方法。

【1】句意：在這一步，你學(xué)會如何識譜，知道鋼琴上的鍵在哪兒。

why為什么；where哪兒；when什么時間；who誰。故選B。根據(jù)“the keys are on the piano”可知此處表達(dá)學(xué)習(xí)鋼琴的鍵在什么地方，用疑問副詞where。故選B。

【2】句意：第二步，學(xué)會復(fù)制別人做這些事情的方法。

copy復(fù)制；avoid避免；remind記起；destroy毀壞。根據(jù)第三段“Repeating other people’s skills”可知此處用動詞copy表示“模仿，復(fù)制”。故選A。

【3】句意：重復(fù)他人的技能將創(chuàng)造很多經(jīng)歷并增加理解。

debates辯論；signals信號；exhibitions展覽；experiences經(jīng)歷。根據(jù)“Repeating other people’s skills”重復(fù)別人的技能進(jìn)行練習(xí)的過程可以創(chuàng)造你的經(jīng)歷，用名詞experiences。故選D。

【4】句意：知道這些規(guī)則，但是然后用自己的方式使用它們或者打破它們是創(chuàng)造力的基礎(chǔ)。

fair公平的；mean吝嗇的；rude粗魯?shù)模?/span>own自己的。根據(jù)“your”可知此處用形容詞own表達(dá)“你自己的方式”。故選D。

【5】句意：有創(chuàng)造性的將經(jīng)常導(dǎo)致很多想法，盡管這些想法不是所有的都是好的想法。

since自從；unless除非；although盡管；because因為。逗號前后的句子表示轉(zhuǎn)折，用連詞although表達(dá)“雖然，盡管”，引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句。故選C。

【6】句意：能夠想出新的觀點，然后挑出更好的想法，將使得你的生活更成功。

breaking down出故障；picking out挑出，辨認(rèn)出；getting rid of擺脫；putting off推遲。根據(jù)“come up with new ideas”及“the better ideas”可知是從新的想法中挑出更好的想法，用動詞短語picking out。故選B。
