People have generally viewed personal growth as an external result or product that can easily be indentified and measured. The worker who gets a promotion, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language—— all these are examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts. By contrast, the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since by definition 該套資料由蕓蕓視頻整理 ： 747883097 TL： 028 8194 2202 期待廣大考生咨詢 推薦： 09 年新東方考研數(shù)學(xué)英語政治視頻課程 提供試看文件 提供試用下載網(wǎng)盤 11 it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way. The process is not the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have, their caution or courage, as they encounter new experiences and unexpected obstacles. In this process, the journey never really ends。 attention [C] correct in telling the difference between persuasion and information [D] obviously partial in his views on advertising 54. In the author39。s no particular virtue in doing things the way they have always been done, wrote Rudolph Flesch, a language authority. This accounts for our reaction so seemingly simple innovations like plastic garbage bags and suitcases on wheels that make life more convenient: How e nobody thought of that before? The creative approach begins with the proposition that nothing is as it appears. Innovators will not accept that there is only one way to do anything. Faced with getting from A to B, the average person will automatically set out on the bestknown and apparently simplest route. The innovator will search for alternate courses, which may prove easier in the long run and are bound to be more interesting and challenging even if they lead to dead ends. Highly creative individuals really do march to a different drummer. 67. What does the author probably mean by untaught mind in the first paragraph? [A] A person ignorant of the hard work involved in experimentation. [B] A citizen of a society that restricts personal creativity. [C] A person who has had no education. [D] An individual who often es up with new ideas by accident. 68. According to the author, what distinguishes innovators from noninnovators? [A] The variety of ideas they have. [B] The intelligence they possess. [C] The way they deal with problems. [D] The way they present their findings. 69. The author quotes Rudolph Flesch in Paragraph 3 because ________.

Inventions and innovations almost always e out of laborious trial and error. Innovation is like soccer。t prepare a medicine against cosmic rays. The prospects for cure, though still distant, are brighter. First, we need to understand how the normal cell controls itself, Second, we have to determine whether there are a limited number of genes in cells which are always responsible for at least part of the trouble. If we can understand how cancer works, we can counteract its action. 63. The example of Pasteur in the passage is used to ________. [A] predict that the secret of cancer will be disclosed in a decade [B] indicate that the prospects for curing cancer are bright [C] prove that cancer will be cured in fifty to sixty years [D] warn that there is still a long way to go before cancer can be conquered 64. The author implies that by the year 2020, ________.

But, he cautions, some people have the idea that once one understands the causes, the cure will rapidly follow. Consider Pasteur, he discovered the causes of many kinds of infections, but it was fifty or sixty years before cures were available. This year, 50 percent of the 910,000 people who suffer from cancer will survive at least five years. In the year 2020, the National Cancer Institute estimates, that figure will be 75 percent. For some skin cancers, the fiveyear survival rate is as high as 90 percent. But other survival statistics are still discouraging — 13 percent for lung cancer, and 2 percent for cancer of the pancreas. With as many as 120 varieties in existence, discovering how cancer works is not easy. The researchers made great progress in the early 1970s, when they discovered that oncogenes, which are cancercausing genes, are inactive in normal cells. Anything from cosmic rays to radiation to diet may activate a dormant oncogene, but how remains unknown. If
