12、 depressed economy has increased the allure of the jobs, technical training and generous student loans offered by the military. Students know that if they go in and become, say, nuclear weapons specialists, they can come out and demand a salary of $60,000 a year. Military salaries, while not always

28、ut feebly, attempt to answer is , what is the creative process?Though much theory has accumulated, little is really known about the power that lies at the bottom of poetic creation.

29、ns, reason, and intuitions. But what is the magical synthesis that joins and arranges these complex parts into poetic unity?John L.Lowes, in his justly famous “The Road to Xanadu,” developed one of the earliest and still generally acceptable answers to this tantalizing question. Imaginative creation
30、, he concludes, is a complex process in which the conscious and unconscious minds jointly operate. “There isthe deep well with its chaos of fortuitously blending images; but there is likewise the Vision which sees shining in and through the chaos of the potential lines of Form, and with the Vision,
31、the controlling Will. Which gives to that potential beauty actuality.”The Deep Well is the unconscious mind that is peopled with the facts, ideas, feelings of the conscious activity.

When remembrance of things past reach the conscious level of the writers mind, he is ready to go on with the process. Part of this preparation involves learning a mediumlearning a language, learning how to
35、write, learning literary forms. It is important to mot here that form cannot be imposed upon the idea. Evidence, though sparse, shows that the idea gives birth to the form that can best convey it. It is the Vision, according to Lowes, ” which sees shining in and through the chaws of the potential li

43、写作时处于无意识状态。难句译注3和第四题答案都说明了这三项选择是不对的。3. A. 偶然的。B. 幸运的,fortuitously一词确实有幸运的之义。但这里上下文含义是A,见难句译注3。C. 彻底的,透彻的。 D. 潜在的,可能的。4. A. 深井(深层的源泉)。见难句译注3和第三句“深层的源泉是无意识思维,内中塞满了各种事实,观点,意识活动的情感。富有想象力的洞察力是一种无意识的活动,在杂乱的土壤中闪烁光辉,忽明忽暗,默默的探索模式和形式。最后,又是有意识的思维,通过意志。”这里说明回溯过去是在深井阶段进行。B. 视觉,是在探索表现形式。 C. 杂乱的光亮和阴影,明面和暗面。 D. 有意识
