【正文】 r purchases. An earlier study using Nike shoes found that consumers desired the shoes more, and were willing to pay more, when the room had a mixed smell of flowers. Realizing the subconscious impact of smell, many stores apply artificial scents (氣味) through their heating and airconditioning vents (通風(fēng)口) or place scent machines above their doors. For instance, a coconut scent might make that bikini more appealing as you long for a vacation.t appear to be enough for children39。The bear caught John.39。 （3）句意猜測(cè)題。 （1）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。Foreign languages help babies39。Babies shouldn39。Grammar is important in learning languages.B.Babies identify different sound patterns.B.The baby39。Having a higher IQ.t appear to be enough for children39?！?．閱讀理解 根據(jù)第四段中的”He believes that the key to unlocking your creative potential is to challenge the stereotyped (陳詞濫調(diào)的) advice that urges you to ‘believe in yourself.’ In fact, you should do the opposite: Believe you are someone else.“可知想象自己處在一個(gè)新的環(huán)境中，或者是一個(gè)全新的身份，你會(huì)感到從未有過(guò)的高效，你讓自己更有創(chuàng)造力。根據(jù)第七段中的”According to Dr. Pillay, it works because it is an act of conscious unfocus, a collection of brain regions that spring into action when you39。每個(gè)人都可以有創(chuàng)造力，只要他或她覺(jué)得自己是一個(gè)有創(chuàng)造力的人。是一種對(duì)保持創(chuàng)造力至關(guān)重要的練習(xí)。根據(jù)第一段可知作者問(wèn)讀者一條褲子可以有多少種不同的用法?并讓讀者假設(shè)自己是一名建筑師，比爾蓋茨，帶水肺的潛水員，一個(gè)中世紀(jì)的騎士等等思考同樣的問(wèn)題；再根據(jù)第二段”What you just practicedthe conscious act of wearing another selfis an exercise that…is essential to being creative.“可知作者接著說(shuō)剛才你所練習(xí)的173。turn to be rightbrained【答案】 （1）A（2）D（3）B（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇議論文，論述了如何讓自己更有創(chuàng)造力，給讀者展示了一種心理學(xué)理念173。pretend to be someone elseD.B.your creativity is determined by yourself（3）According to Dr. Pillay, Halloweenism works because B.To ask a favor.（2）The study led by Denis Dumas and Kevin Dunbar proves B.re giving yourself permission to do something you39。s work takes this a step further: He argues that simply identifying yourself as creative is less powerful than taking the brave, creative step of imagining you are somebody else. This exercise, which he calls psychological Halloweenism, refers to the conscious action of wearing another self. An actor may employ this technique to get into character, but anyone can use it. According to Dr. Pillay, it works because it is an act of conscious unfocus, a collection of brain regions that spring into action when you39。 These results suggest that creativity is not an individual characteristic but a product of context and perspective. Everyone can be creative, as long as he or she feels like a creative person. He points to a study showing the impact of stereotype on one39。t, without much of a middle ground. I39。re Bill Gates.

A.Volatile sulfur pounds.（2）What does the underlined word “evolved” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A.Rotten ingredients in it. Despite the striking smell, many people actually enjoy eating the fruit. However, not all durian species are edible, and some of them may even cause damage to our health, Even so, the fruit is often imported, significantly contributing to the economy.（1）What give durian its unique smell? A. Durian is wellknown throughout Southeast Asia as the king of fruits, mostly because of its awful appearance and smell. However, the origin of this unpleasant smell was unknown, so researchers decided to map the genome of the fruit, and find the gene that controlled it. A group of genes, volatile sulfur pounds (含硫化合物), became very active in the fruit, and they were found responsible for resulting in the unpleasant smell. The fruit confuses everyone with a sulfuric smell, like rotten onions and ingredients. The smell lasts long, mostly because the fruit contains more volatile sulfur pounds. Other species usually benefit from two gene copies at most, but durian has four, leading to the striking smell.Two gene copies.C.D.Predicted.D.Durian can be planted all over the world.C.s the best title for the text?

These experiences affect the development of the brain. When children receive more attention, they often have higher IQs. Babies receive information when they see, hear and feel things, which makes connections between different parts of the brai
