题目内容
9.Blind imitation is self-destruction.To those who do not recognize their unique worth,imitation appears attractive; to those who know their strength,imitation is unacceptable.In the early stages of skill or character development,imitation is helpful.When I first learned to cook,I used recipes (菜谱) and turned out some tasty dishes.But soon I grew bored.Why follow someone else's way of cooking when I could create my own?Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child's bicycle; they help you get going,but once you find your own balance,you fly faster and farther without relying on them.
In daily life,imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role models.If,as a child,you observed people whose lives were bad,you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did.If you do not make strong choices for yourself,you will get the results of the weak choices of others.
In the field of entertainment,our culture glorifies celebrities.Those stars look great on screen.But when they step off screen,their personal lives may be disastrous.If you are going to follow someone,focus on their talent,not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.
Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique.Think of the movies,books,teachers,and friends that have affected you most deeply.They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration,not desperation.The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them,but by those who do what has been done inside them.Creative people have an endless resource of ideas.The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination.
Study your role models,accept the gifts they have given,and leave behind what does not serve you.Then you can say,"I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors'tragedies and declare victory,and know that they are cheering me on."

解答 36-40 CBBDA
36.答案 C 推理题.由第二段第一句"In the early stages of skill or character development,imitation is helpful."可知,在技能和品格培养的早期,模仿是有益的.由此可推知,当你开始学习一件新的事情时,模仿是有用的.故正确答案为C.
37.答案 B 推理题.由第三段第一句"In daily life,imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously hold poor role models."可知,如果我们盲目地选择模仿对象,那么我们很可能会受伤害.由此推知,正确的做法是选择好的榜样作为模仿对象.故正确答案为B.
38.答案 B 推理题.由倒数第二段第四句"The world is changed not by those…,but by those who do what has been done inside them."可知,我们的世界之所以进步,不是因为那些做前人做过的事情的人们,而是因为那些把自己内心的想法付诸于实践的人们.故正确答案为B.
39.答案 D 细节题.由倒数第二段最后一句"The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination."可知,创造者所面临的问题不是如何用尽材料,而是怎样利用所有材料敲开想象的大门.由此可知,创造者所面临的问题就是如何创造性地利用想象,故正确答案为D.
40.答案 A 主旨题.从整篇文章来看,作者主要告诉我们不要盲目模仿,应该有自己的创造性.在四个选项中与该意思接近的是A项(为了阐明创造性的重要性),这也正是作者写这篇文章的目的.故正确答案为A.
点评 主旨大意题在阅读文章中是常考的题型.解答这类试题的英语阅读理解技巧:1.读首句抓大意.文化教育类阅读理解文章多采用说明文、议论文体裁,而这类文章大都采用文章段落的中心,即主题句在文章开头.因此,要寻找这类文章的主旨大意就需要研究文章的首句. 2.读尾句抓大意.有时这类文章的主题句安排在文章的结尾,作为对全篇的总结. 3.读首段抓大意.有些文章或段落的开头和结尾部分都有主题句.这种结构是为了突出主题思想而使用两次点题的写作方法.这两个主题句在句子结构和用词上有所不同,而且在内容上前句和后句也不重复. 4.从段落中抓大意.有些文章或段落的主题句在文章中,这种文章或段落往往以一句话或几句话引出要表达的主题,在主题句出现后,再举例子陈述细节或继续论证. 5.归纳要点抓大意.有些文章或段落无明显的主题句,只是暗示性地体现主题.这就要求同学们在阅读过程中根据文中所叙述的事实或线索来概括总结主旨大意.
