Passage 1

(09·上海)

Most people believe they don‘t have much imagination. They are 50 .Everyone has imagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to 51 it. Creativity isn‘t always 52 with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time 53 think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind! Here are three techniques to help you.

Making connections This technique involves taking 54 ideas and trying to find links between them. First, think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image, word, idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all the idea/words 55 with candles: light, fire, matches, wax, night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the 56 to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to but a friend an original 57 ; you could buy him tickets to match or take him out for the night.

NO limits! Imagine that normal limitations don‘t 58 . You have as much time/space/money, etc. as you want. Think about your goal and the new 59 .If your goal is to learn to ski, 60 , you can now practise skiing every day of your life （because you have the time and the money）. Now 61 this to reality. Maybe you can practise skiing ever day in December, or every Monday in January.

Be someone else! Look at the situation from a 62 point of view. Good businessmen use this technique in trade, and so do writes. Fiction writers often imagine they are the 63 in their books. They ask question: What does this character want? Why can‘t she get it? What changes must she make to get what she wants? If your goal involves other people, put yourself in their 64 . The best fishermen think like fish!

50. A. wrong B. unbelievable C. reasonable D. realistic 51. A. put up with B. catch up with C. make use of D. keep track of 52. A. equipped B. compared C. covered D. connected 53. A. skillfully B. routinely C. vividly D. deeply 54. A. familiar B. unrelated C. creative D. imaginary 55. A. presented B. marked C. lit D. associated 56. A. ideas B. ambitions C. achievement D. technique 57. A. experience B. service C. present D. object 58. A. work B. last C. exist D. change 59. A. possibilities B. limitations C. tendency D. practice 60. A. in fact B. in particular C. as a whole D. for example 61. A. devote B. adapt C. lead D. keep 62. A. private B. global C. different D. practical 63. A. positions B. dreams C. images D. directions 64. A. positions B. dreams C. images D. directions

Passage 2

(09·江苏)

The requirements for high school graduation have just changed in my community. As a result,

all students must 36 sixty hours of service learning, 37 they will not receive a diploma. Service learning is academic learning that also helps the community. 38 of service learning include cleaning up a polluted river, working in a soup kitchen, or tutoring a student. 39 a service experience, students must keep a journal（日志）and then write a 40 about what they have learned.

Supporters claim that there are many 41 of service learning. Perhaps most importantly, students are forced to think 42 their own interests and become 43 of the needs of others. Students are also able to learn real-life skills that 44 responsibility, problem-solving, and working as part of a team. 45 , students can explore possible careers 46 service learning.

For example, if a student wonders what teaching is like, he or she can choose to work in an elementary school classroom a few afternoons each month. 47 there are many benefits, opponents （反对者） 48 problems with the new requirement. First, they 49 that the main reason students go to school is to learn core subjects and skills. Because service learning is time-consuming, students spend 50 time studying the core subjects. Second, they believe that forcing students to work without 51 goes against the law. By requiring service, the school takes away an individual's freedom to choose.

In my view, service learning is a great way to 52 to the community, learn new skills, and explore different careers. 53 , I don' t believe you should force people to help others – the 54 to help must come from the heart. I think the best 55 is one that gives students choices: a student should be able to choose sixty hours of independent study or sixty hours of service. Choice encourages both freedom and responsibility, and as young adults, we must learn to handle both wisely.

Have you ever had to decide whether to go shopping or stay home and watch TV on a weekend? Now you 36 do both at the same time. Home shopping television networks(网络) have become a 37 for many people to shop without 38 having to leave their homes.

Some shoppers are 39 of department stores and supermarkets— 40 the crowds, waiting in long lines, and sometimes 41 of finding anything they want to buy. They‘d rather sit quietly at home in front of the TV set and 42 a friendly announcer describe a product 43 a model shows it.

Advertisers firmly believe images of tasty foods persuade people to buy the goods 38 psychologist Floor Kroese thought that temptation(诱惑) might in fact heighten self-control. To prove this theory, Kroese and her colleagues, 39 a memory test, asked fifty-four 40 students to look at a picture of either a slice of chocolate cake or a flower. The researchers then questioned the students about their diets and offered them a choice between 41 and the oatmeal cookie. Women shown the cake picture gave a higher priority to their healthy eating 42 than those shown the flower. They were also significantly more likely to pick the oatmeal cookie – which was generally considered as the healthier choice. ―It seems that seeing a food temptation reminded people of their goals of watching their weight, and thus 43 them to act in an appropriate manner,‖ says Kroese. 44 studies suggested that smelling tasty, unhealthy foods made people rate healthy eating as highly important, but this is the first research to look at how seeing unhealthy foods 45 snacking behavior.

When I moved into an empty dormitory for the first time two years ago, I was certain of a few things. Firstly, I realized that I didn‘t 31 anybody at the school. Secondly, I knew that I wanted to work hard at my lessons and 32 something useful. And thirdly, I wanted to have a good time with new classmates, without my parents around.

The first 33 frightened me in the beginning. But that 34 quickly disappeared. It was the other two goals 35 ended up being my difficulties. I knew that it was 36 to devote enough time to class and to social efforts. But I wanted to 37 in both. I knew this would be a 38 , but I didn‘t realize how much until classes began.

I got on well with the other girls who lived in my dorm. 39 , instead of finishing my homework 40 it was due, I went upstairs and had ice cream with my neighbor. I always finished it the next day between classes. I knew 41 wasn‘t very good and the grade I 42 showed my lack of effort.

I was 43 that I needed to find some sort of balance. So I created a schedule that would 44 my time up between going to class, doing homework, and relaxing. It seemed like a good idea, 45 I was only able to 46 it for a few days. A schedule like that was too much pressure.

So I tried another 47. Each week I made a list of everything I had to get done during that week.

Then, under the list of things I had to get done, I 48 a list of things I could do if I had time. This is the method I have used since then.

Passage 1

(江苏省扬州市2009届高三第三次调研测试)

You know it‘s truly amazing how the Jewish people survived after thousands of years of being slaves, persecuted(追捕), and even attempted genocide (种族灭绝)when Hitler‘s Nazi murdered 6 million Jews! That‘s why in 1934, Germany was the 36 place to be a Jew. When Hitler‘s teenage gangs 37 his village, the little 38 boy, Heinz, was just 11 years old.

Every day Heinz‘s parents taught their 39 how important it was to learn 40 . When the Nazi gangs terrorized their village on the streets daily, Heinz‘s parents knew that just one moment of losing control of their 41 against their rulers could 42 the death of the family. So Heinz learned to stay out of their 43 , sometimes crossing the street or taking a 44 road home.

But one day, young Heinz was finally 45 by one of Hitler‘s bullies(暴徒). For the first time, Heinz was 46 to talk to a Nazi youth. But by staying calm and 47 choosing his words, Heinz surprised himself when he 48 his way out of trouble and 49 this bully not to hurt him 50 to let him go. That day, Heinz discovered his survival skill of talking and 51 with others. It was a major 52 point that changed his life---and later changed the world.

After a few years, Heinz‘s family escaped from Germany and moved to America. But Heinz never forgot how to talk with people and help bring 53 between enemies. You see, that 11-year-old boy who had 54 his first peace settlement with a Nazi bully, later became one of the greatest ambassadors of peace in the world. You‘ve probably heard of him- not as Heinz- but by his American name: Henry Kissinger, the 55 US Secretary of State. 36．A．usual B．wrong C．appealing D．ideal 37．A．seized B．destroyed C．abandoned D．burnt 38．A．American B．Italian C．Jewish D．British 39．A．students B．friends C．sons D．children 40．A．self-control B．self-protection C．self-respect D．self-defense 41．A．anxiety B．emotions C．anger D．terror 42．A．show B．cost C．claim D．mean 43．A．road B．way C．route D．path

Passage 2

(安徽师大附中2009届高三第二次模拟考试)

Signs can sometimes be seen at the entrance of a house, expressing that a tramp has passed. This special sign-language is frequently 36 by tramps to inform their 37 whether the host of a certain house is friendly or unfriendly, and to 38 them the trouble of making unnecessary calls.

Quite 39 one day, I came across a real tramp. He was such a rare sight these days that I stood some distance away and watched him. He was dressed just as a tramp should be 40 , old worn trousers, and a jacket many sizes too big for him. On his head there was a battered old hat and his boots were so old and worn; they were almost coming into 41 . But the man himself looked cheerful as if he had not a 42 in the world. He rubbed his nose with his forefinger, 43 a funny turn, laid a small parcel by the front gate, and began 44 a sign made by a former caller. Although the sign was meaningless to me, it must have been 45 , for the tramp‘s face lit up with 46 . He entered the front gate confidently and rang the bell. When the door opened, I saw him 47 his hat but couldn‘t hear his words. The 48 was very short indeed, for no sooner had he spoken a few words than the door closed fiercely in his face. I felt 49 for him as he walked 50 out of the house, But just as quickly, his face lit up again and he moved quickly towards the gate. There he stopped, looked at the sign, and 51 his head seriously as if he had made a bad mistake. 52 deeply into his pockets, he produced a piece of chalk, rubbed out the 53 sign and made a new one in its place. He stared at it for a moment smiling to himself, then gathered his 54 , pushed back his hat and began walking towards the next house at an unhurried 55 , whistling as he went along. 36.

Some personal characteristics play an important role in the development of one‘s

intelligence．But people fail to realize the importance of training these factors in young people．

The so-called ―non-intelligence factors‖ include one‘s feelings, will, motivation, interests and habits．After a 30-year follow up study of 8,000 males, American psychologists50that the main cause of disparities in intelligence is not intelligence51 , but non-intelligence factors including the desire to learn, will power and self-confidence．

52people all know that one should have definite objectives, a strong will and good learning habits, quite a number of teachers and parents don‘t pay much attention to 53 these factors．

Some parents are greatly worried when their children fail to do well in their studies．They blame either genetic factors, malnutrition（营养不良） or laziness, but they never take54consideration these non-intelligence factors．At the same time, some teachers don‘t inquire into these, as reasons55students do poorly．They simply give them more courses and exercises, or56 criticize or laugh at them．After all, these students lose self-confidence．Some of them just feel defeated and57themselves up as hopeless．Others may go astray（堕落）because they are sick of learning．An investigation of more than 1,000 middle school students in Shanghai showed that 46．5 percent of them were58of learning, because of examinations, 36．4 percent lacked persistence, initiative and consciousness and 10．3 percent were sick of learning．

It is clear that the lack of cultivation of non-intelligence factors has been a main 59 to intelligence development in teenagers．It even causes an imbalance between physiological and 60 development among a few students．

If we don‘t start now to61the cultivation of non-intelligence factors, it will not only affect the development of the intelligence of teenagers, but also affect the quality of a whole generation．Some experts have put forward62about how to cultivate students‘ non-intelligence factors．

First, parents and teachers should63understand teenage psychology．On this basis, they can help them to pursue the objectives of learning， 64their interests and toughening their willpower．
