Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: There are 5 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by 4 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Questions 41 to 44 are based on the following passage:According to the dictionary definition of create, ordinary people are creative every day. To create means to bring into being, to cause to exist something each of us does daily. We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way. First this involves an awareness of our surroundings. It means using all of our senses to become aware of our world. This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture, as well as taste, when we plan a meal.Above all, it is the ability to notice things that others might miss. A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things. If we believe the expression_r_r_r, There is nothing new under the sun, creativity is remaking or recombining the old in new ways. For example, we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture, or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters to create an unusual photograph. A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas, to apply them to achieve some new resuits. To think up a new concept is one thing; to put the idea to work is another. These three parts of creativity are involved in all the great works of genius, but they are also involved in many of our day to day activities.41. The author holds that .A. creativity is of highly demandB. creativity is connected with a deep insight to some extentC. creativity is to create something new and concreteD. to practise and practise is the only way to cultivate ones creativity42. There is nothing new under the sun. (Par.3) really implies that .A. we can seldom create new thingsB. a new thing is only a taleC. a new thing can only be created at the basis of original thingsD. we can scarcely see really new thing in the world43. What does the author think about the relationship between a new thought and its being put into practice? A. Its more difficult to create a new thought than to apply it in practice.B. To find a new thought will definitely lead to the production of a new thing.C. One may come up with a new thought, but can not put it into practice.D. A man with an excellent ability of practice can easily become an inventor.44. The best title for this passage is .A. How to Cultivate Ones CreativityB. What is CreativityC. The Importance of CreativityD. Creativity a Not Farway Thing何为创造力? 根据字典对“创造”一词的解释，普通人每天都是有创造性的。创造的意思是“使形成，使存在”这是我们每天都做的事情。 我们以一种新的方式来看待或思考什么东西的时候，我们就是有创造力的。首先这包括我们对周围环境的认识。这意味着动用我们所有的感观去了解我们这个世界。这也许和我们备饭时辨认颜色、质地以及味道一样易如反掌。首先这是一种注意到别人可能忽视的事情的能力。 创造力的第二部分就是看清事物之间关系的能力。如果我们相信这样的表达“天底下没有全新的东西”，那么创造力就是以新方式重做或重组旧事物。比如，我们可以通过找到更为有效的学习方法或摆放家具的更好方式来体现我们的创造性，或者重新组合相机镜头和滤光器以创造出不同寻常的照片。 创造力的第三部分就是利用新想法的勇气和动力，把想法加以实施达成新的结果。想出一种概念是一回事，把这种概念加以实施是另一回事。 天才们所有的伟大工作都与创造力的这三个部分息息相关，但它们也与我们许多日常行为密不可分。Questions 45 to 48 are based on the following passage:Born in 1830 in rural Amherst, Massachusetts, Emily Dickinson spent her entire life in the household of her parents. Between 1858 and 1862, it was later discovered, she wrote like a person possessed, often producing a poem a day. It was also during this period that her life was transformed into the myth of Amherst. Withdrawing more and more, keeping to her room, sometimes even refusing to see visitors who called, she began to dress only in white a habit that added to her reputation as an eccentric.生于1830年马萨诸塞州阿默斯特的乡下,艾米丽狄更斯与她的父母一起在家里度过了一生。在1858年到1862年间，后来发现她象着魔一样写作，通常一天创作一首诗。也就在这期间，她的生活变成了阿默斯特的神话。为了抽出更多的时间呆在家里，她有时甚至拒绝她叫来的访客，她开始只穿白色衣服这个爱好使她的名声变得更古怪。In their determination to read Dickinsons life in terms of a traditional romantic plot, biographers have missed the unique pattern of her life her struggle to create a female life not yet imagined by the culture in which she lived. Dickinson was not the innocent, lovelorn and emotionally fragile girl sentimentalized by the Dickinson myth and popularized by William Luces 1976 play, the Belle of Amherst. Her decision to shut the door on Amherst society in the 1850s transformed her house into a kind of magical realm in which she was free to engage her poetic genius. Her seclusion was not the result of a failed love affair, but rather a part of a more general pattern of renunciation through which she, in her quest for selfsovereignty, carried on an argument with the puritan fathers, attacking with wit and irony their cheerless Calvinist doctrine, their stern patriarchal God, and their rigid notions of “true womanhood”.在他们决定将狄更斯的生活按照一个传统的浪漫的情节来理解的时候，传记作者遗漏了她生活中的独特的形式那就是她争取创造一种在当时文化里还难以想象的女性生活。狄更斯不是无知的，失恋的感情上脆弱的女孩，被狄更生的神话伤感的或者被威廉卢斯（阿默斯特的美女）的1976年的戏剧所感动的那种女孩。十九世纪五十年代时她决定向阿默斯特社群关上大门，并且将她的屋子搬到一个不可思议的区域，在那里她可以自由地发挥诗歌天赋。她的与世隔绝不是因为失恋，而是一种普通形式的隔离，通过这个她可以寻找个人主权，同清教父展开讨论，有智慧并且讽刺地攻击他们的不快活的加尔文主义教条，他们的严厉的家长式上帝以及他们严格的“真正的女人生活”的观念。45. Whats the authors main purpose in the passage? A. To interpret Emily Dickinsons eccentric behavior.B. To promote the popular myth of Emily Dickinson.C. To discuss Emily Dickinsons failed love affair.D. To describe the religious climate in Emily Dickinsons time.46. Which of the following is not mentioned as being one of Emily Dickinsons eccentricities? A. Refusing to eat.B. Wearing only white.C. Avoiding visitors.D. Staying in her room.47. The author implies that many people attribute Emily Dickinsons seclusion to .A. physical illnessB. a failed love affairC. religious fervorD. her dislike of people48. It can be inferred from the passage that Emily Dickinson lived in a society that was characterized by .A. strong Puritan beliefsB. equality of men and womenC. the encouragement of nonconformityD. the appreciation of poetic creativityQuestions 49 to 52 are based on the following passage:The Carnegie Foundation report says that many colleges have tried to be “all things to all people”. In doing so, they have increasingly catered to a narrow minded careerism while failing to cultivate a global vision among their students. The current crisis, it contends, does not derive from a legitimate desire to put learning to productive ends. The problem is that in too many academic fields, the work has no context; skills, rather than being means, have become ends. Students are offered a variety of options and allowed to pick their way to a degree. I n short, driven by careerism, “the nations colleges and universities are more successful in providing credentials(文凭)than in providing a quality education for their students. ”The report concludes that the special challenge confronting the undergraduate college is one of shaping an“integrated core”of common learning. Such a core would introduce students“to essential knowledge, to connections across the disciplines, and in the end, to application of knowledge to life beyond the campus. ”卡内基基金会报告说很多大学试图“所有的东西给所有的人”，在这样做的时候，他们更多地追求了一种有限事业的思维，没能在学生中培训一种全球视角。目前的危机是没有产生一种将所学应用于最终生产的合理的愿望。问题是在很多理论界工作并没有关联，技能超过了它的意义已经变成了最终所需。给学生们提供了很多选择允许他们通过他们的方式获得学位。简言之，工作驱动性，“国家的学院或大学成功地提供了文凭而不是给他们的学生一个有质量的教育。报告下结论说在校学生面临的特殊的挑战者是对”普通教育“塑一个“完整的核心”。这个核心可以给学生带来“精华的知识，联系原理，最终把这些知识应用于校园外的生活中”。Although the key to a good college is a high-quality faculty, the Carnegie study found that most colleges do very little to encourage good teaching. In fact, they do much to undermine it. As one professor observed:“Teaching is important, we are told, and yet faculty know that research and publication matter most. ” Not surprisingly, over the last twenty years colleges and universities have failed to graduate half of their four-year degree candidates. Faculty members who dedicated themselves to teaching soon discover that they will not be granted tenure (终身任期), promotion, or substantial salary increases. Yet 70 percent of all faculty say their interests lie more in teaching than in research. Additionally, a frequent complaint among young scholars is that“There is pressure to publish, although there is virtu
