【題目】Five ways to improve creativity

Creativity is the ability to go beyond traditional rules, ideas or relationships and create something new through imagination or progressiveness. There are many ways to improve your creative mind.

Exercise the mind. Exercising your mind is an ideal way to boost creativity. Like the body, the mind needs exercise to work the creative muscles and make them stronger. Exercise your brain by learning new subjects, getting into a debate about politics and talking to other creative and intelligent people. 【1】.

Be passionate. One aspect of creativity is passion. 【2】 Find your internal motivation and follow your passion to improve your creativity.

Change your routine. 【3】To boost your creativity, consider changing one to two elements of your daily routine. If you are working on a certain project, consider stopping one project to work on another project at regular intervals throughout the day or week.

Read. While reading provides many intellectual benefits, reading is also beneficial for boosting creativity, exercising your brain and provide creative inspiration. 【4】Consider reading about subjects that were previously uninteresting to you. This change in the norm might spark your creative interest.

【5】. Our packed schedules have no room for creative thinking. Take a certain amount of time every day to quiet, refresh and clear the mind while relaxing the body. This quiet time can consist of a yoga workout, meditation or simply sitting still in a dark and quiet room, in a peaceful garden or on a beautiful beach.

A. Schedule quiet time.

B. It can become weak due to stresses

C. Creativity is a natural quality

D. Often, creativity is blocked due to a too familiar routine

E. These activities will encourage a flow of creativity.

F. Read as much as possible about several different subjects.

G. Typically, students will do well in subjects they are interested in

【答案】

【1】E

【2】G

【3】D

【4】F

【5】A

【解析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。主要介紹了提高一個(gè)人的創(chuàng)造力的五種途徑。

【1】考查上文和句意理解。根據(jù)上文所說(shuō)通過(guò)學(xué)習(xí)新的科目，參與政治辯論，和其它有創(chuàng)造力和智慧的人交談來(lái)鍛煉你的大腦�？芍挛倪@些活動(dòng)將鼓勵(lì)源源不斷的創(chuàng)造力。下文中的these activities就是指上文所提到的活動(dòng)。可用到代詞的指代作用解題。故選E。

【2】考查上文和句意理解。根據(jù)上文所說(shuō)要找到內(nèi)在動(dòng)力，可知上文通常，學(xué)生在他們感興趣的科目上會(huì)表現(xiàn)出色。這種感興趣就是內(nèi)在的動(dòng)力。故選G。

【3】考查上文和句意理解。本文主題句是改變你的常規(guī)。所以可知下文通常，創(chuàng)造力受到過(guò)于熟悉的常規(guī)的阻止。所以要改變常規(guī)。故選D。

【4】考查上文和句意理解。根據(jù)下文考慮閱讀以前對(duì)你來(lái)說(shuō)不感興趣的話題�？芍衔谋M可能多地閱讀幾個(gè)不同的主題。包括你不感興趣的話題。故選F。

【5】考查上文和句意理解。根據(jù)本段說(shuō)要安靜地做一些事情�？芍径沃黝}句應(yīng)該是計(jì)劃一些安靜的時(shí)間。這樣才會(huì)為給創(chuàng)造帶來(lái)靈感。故選A。

七選五的解題技巧之一是可以通過(guò)詞匯線索“代詞”來(lái)判斷上下文所填內(nèi)容。代詞是指代一個(gè)名詞或者一個(gè)句子的，然后通過(guò)代詞在句子所代替的內(nèi)容，我們可以推斷出它指代的句子。例如第1小題考查上文和句意理解。根據(jù)上文所說(shuō)通過(guò)學(xué)習(xí)新的科目，參與政治辯論，和其它有創(chuàng)造力和智慧的人交談來(lái)鍛煉你的大腦。可知下文是說(shuō)這些活動(dòng)將鼓勵(lì)源源不斷的創(chuàng)造力。下文中的these activities（這些活動(dòng)）就是指上文所提到的活動(dòng)�？捎玫酱~的指代作用解題。故選E。
