题目内容
【题目】 Can creativity be taught? That’s a question without a simple yes or no answer. Creativity may not be able to be taught directly, but what you can get better at is frequently targeting at the circumstances of life which bring up the greatest chances for true creative expression. 【1】, but more like something which manifests (显现) itself inside those who learn to develop it and create the right conditions for it.
Limit your selection of tools to only the most vital. 【2】. You’ll be sharper than someone who merely fights with a larger set of tools.
Learn how to be resourceful. 【3】. Creativity is not just about creating something new but making old things work better as well. Think of crazy possibilities as well as practical ones. You might find inspiration for a workable solution in one of your ideas.
Don’t listen to feedback (反馈) and keep following your own path. The problem of asking for feedback is that the feedback will be given according to the person’s past experience. Others will unconsciously push you in a direction that they see as best. 【4】. Just don’t let criticism (even the constructing type) destroy your creativity during the creative process.
【5】. Routines are positive if they strengthen a healthy creative consciousness and negative if they destroy that. The key is to discover a creative routine that puts you in a more creative mindset.
A.Creativity is not like a lightning strike
B.Having a routine is actually not a bad idea
C.You can literally do anything you like with them
D.Resourcefulness is about making the most of what you have to work with
E.The more limited your set of tools is, the more creative the output will be

【解析】
本文为议论文。创造力是被教会的吗?作者对此做出了分析和解释,认为经常处于有创造性的生活环境中,人的创造力是可以得到更好的激发的。
【1】根据下文but more like something which manifests (显现) itself inside those who learn to develop it and create the right conditions for it.的转折关系可知,创造力不是像闪电突然爆发的,而是更像是在那些有所准备的人的内心深处显现出来的东西。故选A 。
【2】根据上一句可知,只选择最重要的工具。本句做出解释,表明原因:你的工具越有限,产出就会越有创意。故选E。
【3】根据空格前后句意可知,此处为衔接,对上一句“resourceful”进行解释,并且引出下文“创造力不仅仅是创造一些新的东西,而是让旧的东西更好地工作。”故选项D. Resourcefulness is about making the most of what you have to work with.要充分利用你所拥有的一切,符合题意,故选D。
【4】根据本段话主题句Don’t listen to feedback (反馈) and keep following your own path. 可知,要坚持走自己的路,不要听从别人的经验之谈,别人会无意识地把你推向他们认为最好的方向。这样做是出于好意,但实际上会伤害你的自然创造力。故选F 。
【5】根据段落结构可知,此处为主题句。根据本段论述的中心大意可知,好的习惯是积极的,要养成能够让你的思维更具创造力的好习惯,所以,形成惯例其实不是一个坏主意,故选B 。
