We seem _1_ (feel) that some people are naturally creative, but we dont know how they got that way. Is creativity a natural
11、 gift, or is _2_ something that can _3_ (acquire)? Perhaps if we analyze the creative process _4_ (careful), we might get some insight (洞察力) into what it is and _5_ it might work in our lives. The creative process has always been accepted as the source of all important work in the arts, but we shoul
12、d not think the creativity plays a part only in the arts. Every major scientific discovery began with someone _6_ (imagine) the world differently from the way others saw it. And this is _7_ creativity is all about. And despite what you may believe about the limits of your own creative imagination, w
13、e all have the potential to imagine the world in _8_ absolutely new way. In fact, you are born _9_ it. And whats more, you use it every day. Its your creative mind _10_ gets meaning from chaos of experiences and brings order to your world.1_ 2._ 3._ 4._ 5._ 6._ 7._ 8._ 9._ 10._ 篇章导读：本文是一篇议论文。创造力是天生的
14、才华，还是后天也可以获得？本文就这一话题展开了讨论。1to feel 考查非谓语动词。我们感觉似乎某些人天生具有创造力。seem to do sth.“似乎要做某事”。2it 考查代词。创造力是天生的才华，还是后天也可以习得的？这里用it指代creativity。3be acquired 考查被动语态。先行词something和acquire之间是被动关系，又因为情态动词can后要用动词原形，故此空填be acquired。4carefully 考查词性转换。也许如果我们仔细分析创造的过程，我们就会洞察到什么是创造力，它是如何在我们的生活中起作用的。这里用副词修饰动词analyze。5how
15、考查特殊疑问词。此处表述创造力是如何在我们生活中起作用的。由语义可知填how。6imagining 考查with的复合结构。每次重大的科学发现都以某个人以不同于其他人的方式看待这个世界开始。此处为“with宾语宾语补足语”结构，宾语和宾补之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，故此空填imagining。7what 考查名词性从句的连接词。创造力就是用一种新的方式想象世界。空格处引导表语从句并在从句中作介词about的宾语，故填连接代词what。8an 考查冠词。我们都有这种潜能，用一种全新的方式想象这个世界。absolutely的发音以元音音素开头，故用不定冠词an，表泛指。9with 考查介词。事实上，你
16、天生具有创造力。be born with “生而具有”。10that 考查强调句。正是创造性思维使得你从混乱的经历中找到意义，给你的世界带来秩序。由强调句基本结构“It is/was被强调部分that/who(当强调主语且主语指人)其他部分”可确定答案。*完形填空。阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可能填入空白处的最佳选项。(2018太原市高三年级模拟试题)I was a shy kid.Nothing seemed harder than talking to people.I didnt even like to answer the phone for fea

25、安安静静地做功课。4B与语境“with good grades”呼应可推知，作者在学习上的付出得到了丰厚的回报，成绩突出。5D由“Eventually”的提示可推知，作者最终意识到了和朋友相处是有趣的。hang out“常去某处”。6B根据上文的“I was a shy kid”并结合“I found myself tonguetied”可推知，作者童年时代的害羞个性还存在。7C根据“I found myself tonguetied”可推知，和他人交流时沟通不顺畅是令人尴尬的。8A根据语境可知，作者在校园里注意到了一则让他感兴趣的广告。9D根据下文的“I had absolutely no
26、background in radio”可推知，这是一则电台的招募广告。10A根据“I had absolutely no background in radio”并结合下文的“I didnt really want the job”可推知，作者因自己没有广播方面的背景而打退堂鼓，与下文的“I was even more terrified to discover that I had actually landed the job”呼应。11C作者害怕与成千上万的听众交流，只想证明自己能够和面试官交谈。12B根据语境可推知，时间已经过去了两周。13D根据上文可知，这项工作需要与成千上万的听众
27、交流，这对作者来说有一定的挑战性，且与语境“but I grew to enjoy it”形成呼应。14A与上文的“and the idea of talking to thousands of listeners _10_ me”呼应可推知，此处表示作者给听众播放音乐。15B与语境“answering their calls”呼应可推知，作者回应听众的要求。16D根据上文可知，作者应聘的是电台工作，和听众们基本上是不见面的。17C根据“still”的提示并结合上文的“I was a shy kid”可推知，作者尽管现在花费很多时间和人们交流，但是本质上还是一个不多说话的人，与下文的“My f

Lets work together and turn our dream into reality.Yours，Li Hua难项分析：第一处：whichwhat考查主语从句的连接词。分析句子结构可知，but连接两个并列句，其后不是定语从句，故不能用which引导；连接词引导主语从句，表示“所的事”，故用what。第二处：spiritspirits考查名词的数。in low spirits为固定词组，意为“情绪低落”。第四处：ItThere考查固定句式。There is no doubt that . “毫无疑问，”，是固定句型。*
