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。也就是說一個(gè)人的創(chuàng)造力是取決于自己的。 (3)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?yàn)樗且环N有意識(shí)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(shí),大腦中一系列區(qū)域就起作用。 (4)考查推理判斷。由此推斷所以要變得有創(chuàng)造力的話,要想象自己有一個(gè)全新的身份,也就是把自己想象成另外一個(gè)人。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個(gè)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。 A study showed that the experiences children have in their first few years are important. 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 brain. There are a hundred trillion(萬億)connections in the brain of a threeyearold child. Gervain is excited by these findings because the order of sounds is the building block of words and grammar. Position is key to language, she says. If something is at the beginning or at the end, it makes a big difference: John caught the bear.39。The bear caught John.39。 Researchers led by scientist Patricia Kuhl have found that language delivered by televisions, audio books, the Internet, or smartphones-no matter how educational-doesn39。s brain development.

This shows that babies can tell the difference between different ,實(shí)驗(yàn)表明嬰兒可以區(qū)別不同的聲音模式,故選A。根據(jù)第三段If something is at the beginning or at the end, it makes a big difference: 39。 is very different from 39?!笨芍行〇|西放在句首和句尾,會(huì)有很大的不同,比如John抓住了熊,和熊抓住了John,意思是不一樣的,可知本句意思為位置對(duì)于語(yǔ)言來說很重要的,順序不同,意思不同,故選B。根據(jù)最后一段Researchers led by scientist Patricia Kuhl have found that language delivered by televisions, audio books, the Internet, or smartphones-no matter how educational-doesn39。s brain ,通過電視、網(wǎng)絡(luò)等媒介的語(yǔ)言教學(xué),對(duì)于嬰兒大腦發(fā)展是不夠的,并且后面的實(shí)驗(yàn)表明,面對(duì)面的語(yǔ)言輸入才有效,故選D。4.閱讀理解 purchasing decisions.t.
