(3)考查推理判斷。也就是說一個(gè)人的創(chuàng)造力是取決于自己的。根據(jù)第六段”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.“可知Denis Dumas 和Kevin Dunbar的研究結(jié)果表明創(chuàng)造力不是個(gè)體特征,而是環(huán)境和視角的產(chǎn)物。這說明作者在第一段問這些問題就是為了引出下文中的創(chuàng)造力話題, 故選A。173。173。 (1)考查推理判斷。173。D.believe in your own talentC..

The authors, psychologists Denis Dumas and Kevin Dunbar, divided their college student subjects into two groups, instructing one group to think of themselves as eccentric poets and the other to imagine they were rigid librarians. The researchers then presented them all with ordinary objects, including a fork, a carrot, and a pair of pants, and asked them to e up with as many different uses as possible for each one. The former group came up with the widest range of ideas, whereas the latter had the fewest. , an assistant professor at Harvard University, has spent years overturning these ideas. 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.

The study also asked questions about experiences with depression and anxiety, as well as desires for things like caffeine, alcohol and nicotine. Participants rated the intensity( 強(qiáng)度), imagery, and intrusiveness(侵?jǐn)_性) of their desires on an 11point scale. A new study suggests a link between exposure to greenery and reduced desires for alcohol cigarette and junk food. 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解,詞義猜測,推理判斷和主旨大意四個(gè)題型的考查,是一篇環(huán)保類閱讀,要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上,進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系,進(jìn)行分析,推理,概括和歸納,從而選出正確答案。根據(jù)第一段中的“Debates over the benefits of recycling started in 1996 when a writer called John Tierney said ‘recycling is garbage’.”自從1996年作家John Tierney說“回收是垃圾”時(shí),關(guān)于垃圾回收的好處的討論就開始了。故選C。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Even though the benefits of recycling over disposal are various, individuals should keep in mind that it better serves the environment to reduce and reuse materials before recycling even bees an option.”盡管回收比處理的好處有很多,大家應(yīng)該記住,在回收成為一個(gè)選擇之前,減少垃圾和反復(fù)利用物品對(duì)環(huán)境是更有利的。故選D。根據(jù)第三段中的“According to the Mayor, the benefits of recycling plastic and glass were outweighed by the price—recycling cost twice as much as disposal.”根據(jù)市長所言,回收塑料和玻璃在價(jià)格方面超標(biāo)了回收的費(fèi)用是處理費(fèi)用的兩倍,可推知,紐約取消了回收塑料和玻璃。故選A。 (1)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。s the meaning of the underlined word eliminated in Paragraph 3? ....(3)What does the last paragraph imply? should make recycling an option. recycling programs are in a bad situation. should develop the awareness of resource saving. should be considered first in recycling work.(4)What can be the best title for this passage? harm of recycling recycling really beneficial? recycling work in New York City environmental protection making progress?【答案】 (1)A(2)D(3)C(4)B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇議論文,自從1996年作家John Tierney說“回收是垃圾”時(shí),關(guān)于垃圾回收的好處的討論就沒有停止過。 But in 2002, New York City, an early municipal recycling pioneer, found that its muchpraised recycling program was losing money, so it eliminated glass and plastic recycling. According to the Mayor, the benefits of recycling plastic and glass were outweighed by the price—recycling cost twice as much as disposal. Meanwhile, low demand for the materials meant that much of it was ending up in landfills anyway. NYC closed its last landfill and brought in a more efficient system, with more famous service providers than it had used previously. Debates over the benefits of recycling started in 1996 when a writer called John Tierney said recycling is garbage. According to him, Recycling programs offer mainly shortterm benefits to a few related groups while diverting money from real social and environmental problems. It doubles energy consumption and p
