Schools should build a free environment and offer support for teachers and students to implement their ideas. Teachers should teach according to students aptitude and pay attention to students true needs. Students should figure out what their interests are and try to realize what they really want to do.2) I believe that creativity is not a state of being, but, rather, is a personal characteristic on a continuum from low to high. You can move your creativity up the scale by nurturing it. Furthermore, creative activity isnt only the creation of art. Everyone who has ever found a solution to a problem has employed creativity. Most of the time, these efforts dont require high levels of creativity. People high on the continuum of creativity have learned to take an active role in developing it by constantly finding out problems for further exploration. They routinely exercise their creativity. The key is that they keep working even when they feel that they will never find a solution. The true magic in creativity lies in the fact that the solutions do come.Language in Use4. 1) genuine 2) discipline 3) facilitate 4) talents 5) motivate 6) appetite 7) dynamic 8) acquires 9) flourished 10) ambition5. 1) admitted to 2) working on 3) pass through 4) thrown out 5) end up 6) do with6. a group ofstudents (一群学生) a flock ofsheep (一群羊) a ray ofhope (一线希望) a bunch offlowers (一束花) a heap ofearth (一堆泥土) a packet ofcigarettes (一包烟) 1) a body of 2) a block of 3) a chain of 4) a ray of 5) a gust of 6) a mountain of 7) a herd of 8) a string of 9) a bunch of 10) a packet of7.1) adjective + noun-edrosy-cheeked, good-tempered, warm-hearted2) adverb + verb-edso-called, newly-built, well-known3) adjective + verb-inglong-standing, high-performing, funny-looking4) noun + adjectiveduty-free, snow-white, life-long5) adjective + nounpart-time, first-class, mid-term6) noun + verb-edhand-painted, self-centered, snow-covered7) noun + verb-ingtime-consuming, world-shaking, English-speaking8) a + b + chand-in-hand, heart-to-heart, three-year-old 1) easy-going 2) heart-broken 3) self-confident 4) poverty-stricken 5) up-to-date 6) narrow-minded 7) long-distance 8) well-educated8.Reference translation1) 我认为创造性是获得有价值的创意的过程。任何行业内的创意性工作都会经历一系列典型的过程。2) 在这个动态变化的过程中，会建立新联系，跨越不同专业领域，运用隐喻和类比思维。3) 创意即立意新颖。创意也意味着权衡判断，判断你所做的事是否有价值，理论模型是否合乎逻辑，设计方案是否合理，一首诗是否有诗意。4) 首先，创造力如同普通的学习一样是一个高度因人而异的过程。人都有着不同的天分、资质和理解事物的方式。5) 其次，创新并非循序渐进的过程，不一定非得学会所有必备的技能方才开始。9.Reference translation1) The trouble is that the battery in the black box can only function for 30 days.2) The researchers suggestion is that people should have more face-to-face communication and less use of social networks.3) The question was whether the rumor was true or not.4) The attraction is that this organization provides college students an opportunity to work overseas for two months with salary.5) The frustration is that I always made up my mind to go to bed on time but I never did it.Text BReading Comprehension1.A dreamer might suggestteaching the plants how to talk, sothey can tell youwhen they are dry.A critic might evaluatethe idea.A realist might imagineer this intodeveloping a fake birdon a probe that you stick into the soil.
