9.Well,to pick up where we left off last time,I believe we agreed that creativity is a mysterious idea.It is those things we all recognize when we see it,but we don't really understand what it is.We seem to feel that some people are naturally creative,but we don't know how they got that way.Is creativity a natural gift like good looks,or is it something that can be acquired like knowledge?Perhaps if we analyze the creative process carefully,we might get some insight into what it is and how 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 should not think the creativity plays a role only in the arts.Every major scientific discovery began with someone imagining the world to look differently from the way others saw it.And this is what creativity is all about--imagining the world in a new way.And despite what you may believe about the limits of your own creative imaginations,we all have the potential to imagine the world in an absolutely new way.In fact,you are born with it.It is your birth right as a human being.And what's more,you use it every day,almost every moment of your life.Your creative imagination is what you use to make sense of your experiences.(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 10WORDS.)

77.What did the speaker most probably discuss last time?
The mysteriousness of creativity/creativity is a mysterious idea
78.The source of all artistic work/The source of all important work in the arts is the widely accepted idea about the creative process.
79.Creative imagination/creativity and imagination leads to major scientific discoveries according to the speaker?
80.According to the writer,what is creativity all about?
Imagining the world in a new way.

分析 本文而叙述了创造力是一个神秘的话题,其实每个人天生都有创造力,并且每天都在用它,科学家就是凭借创造力才有一些发现,本文指出创造力就是以不同的方式的来看世界.

解答 77:The mysteriousness of creativity/creativity is a mysterious idea

78:The source of all artistic work/The source of all important work in the arts
根据The creative process has always been accepted as the source of all important work in the arts,可知,具有创造性的过程一直都被认为是艺术界所有重要 工作的来源,故用The source of all artistic work/The source of all important work in the arts
79:Creative imagination/creativity and imagination(只写对一个也得分)
根据Every major scientific discovery began with someone imagining the world to look differently from the way others saw it.可知,每一个大的科学发现都是发明者以一种独特的视角来看待问题,从而引起很多科学发现,即创造力导致了科学发现,故用Creative imagination/creativity and imagination(只写对一个也得分).
80:Imagining the world in a new way.
根据文章中的这句话this is what creativity is all about--imagining the world in a new way.可知,以一种新的方式来想象世界就是创造力,故用Imagining the world in a new way.来解释什么是创造力.

7.What Does the Length of Your Fingers Say About You?
Are you the peace-loving type or the ambitious go-getter?Your finger length might be a clue.Take a look at your fingers.Would you believe me if I told you that the length of your fingers in relation to one another can predict your personality?I know that it sounds like one of those silly tests you see on Facebook,but I have to admit that it is exactly correct for me.Here's how it works.
Look at your three middle fingers of your hand.Is your index finger longer than your ring finger?Is your ring finger longer than your index finger?Or are the two of the same length?Find the situation that best matches your hand and see if what follows is an accurate description of your personality.
●Longer ring finger:The Sweet Talker
If your ring finger is longer than your index finger,research shows that
you're likely a charming type,and you can probably talk yourself out of any
situation.Others often find this personality type irresistible and will go to
great lengths to help you.You're more likely to take risks,and you're good at problem-solving.People in this category make great engineers,soldiers and crossword-puzzle solvers.
●Longer index finger:The (Over) Confident One
If your index finger is longer than your ring finger,chances are you are full of confidence-possibly even to the point of being over-confident and proud.You are not necessarily introverted(内向的),but you do enjoy Lime to yourself,especially when you're trying to complete a project.You are a dream pursuer who can make things happen,but you may be shy when it comes to taking the first step in a relationship.You are also probably happy with what you have,but you're always wishing for more.
●Index and ring finger finger of the same length:The Peacemaker
If your index finger and ring finger are roughly of the same length,you are likely to avoid conflict at all costs and seek to keep the peace in your relationships.You are well-organized,faithful and sympathetic.But deep down under all of that caring and peace-loving,you also have a hot-tempered side that can appear unexpectedly when you're pushed too far.You will try your hardest to avoid a fight.
How well do these descriptions match your personality?I was surprised at the accuracy in my case,but I'm not going to tell you which one it was!

59.Which of the following hand could be an engineer's hand?A

4.The children were always good during August,especially when it got near the twenty-third.It was on this day that the great silver spaceship carrying Professor Hugo's Interplanetary Zoo settled down for its annual six-hour visit to the Chicago area.
Before daybreak the crowds would form,long lines of children and adults,each one grasping their dollar,and waiting with excitement to see what strange creatures the Professor would bring this year.In the past they had sometimes been treated to three-legged creatures from Venus,or tall,thin men from Mars,or even snakelike horrors from somewhere more distant.This year,as the great ship settled slowly in the huge parking area,they watched with awe as the sides slowly slid up to reveal the familiar barred cages.
In them were some wild race of nightmare-small,horse-like animals that moved with quick motions and constantly made high-pitched sounds.The citizens of Earth pushed around as Professor Hugo's crew quickly collected the waiting dollars.The good Professor called into his microphone,"People of Earth,this year you see a real treat for your single dollar-the little-known horse-spider people of Kaan-across a million miles of space brought at great expense."
The crowds slowly filed by,at once horrified and fascinated by these strange creatures that looked like horse but ran up the walls of their cages like spiders."This is certainly worth a dollar!"one man remarked,hurrying away.
As the ship rose from the ground the Earth people agreed that this had been the very best zoo yet…
Some two months and three planets later,the silver ship of Professor Hugo settled at last onto the familiar planet of Kaan,and the horse-spider creatures filed quickly out of their cages.In one home,the she-creature was happy to see the return of her mate and offspring."It was a long time you were gone.Was it good?"
The he-creature nodded."The little one enjoyed it especially.We visited eight worlds and saw many things."
"On the place called Earth it was the best.The creatures there wear garments over their skins,and they walk on two legs."the little one smiled.
"But isn't it dangerous?"asked the she-creature.
"No,"her mate answered."There are bars to protect us from them.We remain right in the ship.Next time you must come with us.It is well worth the nineteen commocs it costs."
And the little one nodded."It was the very best Zoo ever…"
21.Which of the following about Professor Hugo's zoo is true?B
A.The animals in the zoo were dangerous.
B.The horse-spider people thought the Earth people were the animals in the zoo.
C.Professor Hugo forced the horse-spider people to travel to Earth.

C.They were afraid of the horse-spider people.
D.They were cheated by those horse-spider people.

18.You've heard it repeatedly:Make sure you drink at least eight glasses of water per day.The key words are"at least",because,unless you are a child,you need more water than that.The rule is,for every 50pounds of body weight you carry,drink one quart of bottled or filtered (过滤的) water per day.The average person weighs 150pounds,so they should drink three quarts per day.A 200pounds person should drink a full gallon per day.Athletes should drink even more than that.Follow these and you've adopted one of the most important health habits.
Our bodies are mostly water,and water is essential to our every function.Drink the appropriate amount,and everything is much more likely to function at the best levels.If you don't drink enough water,over the short term you will experience tiredness,dry skin,headaches and constipation (便秘); over the longer term,every body function will  degrade more quickly.It really is as simple as that.
Things get a bit more complicated in what type of water to drink.Bottled water and filtered water are both good options.Do not drink tap water or distilled water (蒸馏水).Bottled water should be bottled in clear glass containers,not the plastic containers that transfer far too many chemicals into the water.Filtered water can be obtained through low-cost filters.
Tap water should be avoided because it contains chlorine (氯) and may contain fluoride (氟化物),which is poisonous and can have terrible consequences for the body.Distilled water should also be avoided because it can burn up your body of necessary minerals.It has been tied to hair loss,which is often associated with certain mineral lack.
Finally,drink water at room temperature if possible,as ice-cold water can harm your stomach.
21.What's the meaning of the underlined word"degrade"?B
A.Improve.
B.Reduce..
C.Strengthen           
D.Recover.
22.What kinds of water are proper for drinking?C
A.Tap water and bottled water.
B.Tap water and distilled water.
C.Bottled water and filtered water.
D.Distilled water and filtered water.
23.What's the main reason that distilled water isn't recommended to drink?A
A.It leads the body to lack certain minerals.
B.It isn't clean enough to drink.
C.It contains too many chemicals.
D.It contains fluoride.
19.Susan Sontag(1933-2004)was one of the most noticeable figures in the world of literature.For more than 40years she made it morally necessary to know everything-to read every book worth reading,to see every movie worth seeing.When she was still in her early 30s,publishing essays in such important magazines as Partisan Review,she appeared as the symbol of American culture life,trying hard to follow every new development in literature,film and art.With great effort and serious judgment,Sontag walked at the latest edges of world culture.
Seriousness was one of Sontag's lifelong watchwords(格言),but at a time when the barriers between the well-educated and the poor-educated were obvious,she argued for a true openness to the pleasure of pop culture.In"Notes Camp",the 1964essay that first made her name,she explained what was then a little-known set of difficult understandings,through which she could not have been more famous."Notes on Camp",she wrote,represents"a victory of‘form'over‘content',‘beauty'over‘morals'".
By conviction(信念)she was a sensualist(感觉论者),but by nature she was a moralist(伦理学者),and in the works she published in the 1970s and 1980s,it was the latter side of her that came forward.In"Illness as Metaphor"-published in 1978,after she suffered cancer-she argued against the idea that cancer was somehow a special problem of repressed personalities(被压抑的性格),a concept that effectively blamed the victim for the disease.In fact,re-examining old positions was her lifelong habit.
In America,her story of a 19th century Polish actress who set up a perfect society in California,won the National Book Award in 2000.But it was as a tireless,all-purpose cultural view that she made her lasting fame.
"Sometimes,"she once said,"I feel that,in the end,all I am really defending…is the idea of seriousness,of true seriousness."And in the end,she made us take it seriously too.
