【正文】 l to human symbols. When a research team led by Candace Croney at Penn State University carried wooden blocks marked with X and O symbols around pigs, only the O carriers offered food to the animals. The pigs soon ignored the X carriers in favor of the O39。 Science is finally beginning to embrace animals who were, for a long time, considered secondclass citizens. 【點評】本題考點涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。由此推斷所以要變得有創(chuàng)造力的話，要想象自己有一個全新的身份，也就是把自己想象成另外一個人。 （4）考查推理判斷。re not focused on a specific task or thought.“可知據(jù)皮萊博士說，心理萬圣節(jié)之所以有效，是因為它是一種有意識的分散注意力的行為，當(dāng)你不專注于某一特定任務(wù)或思想時，大腦中一系列區(qū)域就起作用。 （3）考查推理判斷。也就是說一個人的創(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. In fact, you should do the opposite: Believe you are someone else.m just not a creative person! a discouraged student might say in art class, while another might blame her talent at painting for her difficulties in math, making a ment I39。re creative or we aren39。 What you just practicedthe conscious act of wearing another selfis an exercise that, according to psychiatrist SriniPillay, MD, is essential to being creative.re an architect.

The existing dancing style, their way of operating—all of this seemed to her the work of a misguided past. Duncan was very direct about what she wanted, confidently telling people she had a different vision of dance that she was going to spread in the world. This, naturally, led to ridicule and laughs early on, but as she built up her work, these instances became less frequent. Today, she is remembered as The Mother of Dance, with much of the modern art owing its expressive style to her influence. Inspired by the ancient Greeks, she brought the style to life. But Duncan was different. Not only was she already talented enough to earn money even at that age, but she also had a rare kind of confidence that helped her treat troubles as fuel —something to elevate the fire that is already burning inside of her.3．Directions: Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. 故選D。文章通過告訴讀者如何給自己把脈以及用兩個表格向人們展示如何測量心率以保持適當(dāng)?shù)倪\動強度。故選C。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段“Taking your pulse during physical activity allows you to measure how hard you are exercising.
