you have trouble trying to create the next big idea? sometimes the answer isnt to just force an idea out of your mind. instead, you might want to try sitting back, relaxing and letting your mind wander. yes, you heard that correctly. if you are in need of a new idea, try daydreaming.researchers from the university of california, santa barbara, found an association between daydreaming and creative problem-solving. their study includes having participants first do an “unusual-use task”. they had to try to come up with as many different ways to use an object as they could.then, the participants chose to do one of the following four things before doing the “unusual-use task” again: complete a difficult task; complete an easy task; take a 12-minute break; or skip the 12-minute break and move right on to the task exercise again.surprisingly, the group that performed best was the one that completed the easy task. many participants reported that they were daydreaming while performing the easy task. so the researchers believed that this daydreaming might have helped unlock their creativity.but how could daydreaming help the brain come up with creative ways? the answer is something known as “unconscious thought”. even when you are not actively working to solve a problem, it is still in the back of your mind. your brain is still thinking about the problem, but in a much more subtle (不易察觉) way.when you daydream, your mind is allowed to think in ways it normally would not. because it is free of control, it can create completely new and out-of-the-box ideas.great ideas never come easily, but that does not mean you always have to work hard to get them. feel free to do what you want and let your mind wander.12. the “unusual-use task” in paragraph 2 means that participants _.a. complete an easy taskb. complete a very difficult taskc. take a 12-minute breakd. think of various ways to use an object13. why did the participants who completed the easy task perform best?a. they were not actively working to solve the easy task.b. they daydreamed and it helped them be more creative.c. they were daydreaming while performing the difficult task.d. they skipped the 12-minute break to complete the task again.14. what does the underlined phrase “unconscious thought” in paragraph 5 mean?a. your brain wander in a subtle way within your control.b. your brain knows clearly what youre thinking and doing.c. your brain is thinking about a problem outside of your awareness.d. your brain refuses to receive any information from the outside world.15. the passage mainly wants to tell us that _.a. brainstorming is important to creative ideasb. daydreaming is a way to improve creativityc. problem-solving skills are important in our livesd. the more we exercise brains, the more ideas well get【答案】12. d 13. b 14. c 15. b【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文。这篇文章主要是想告诉我们白日梦是一种提高创造力的方法。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中their study includes having participants first do an unusual-use task they had to try to come up with as many different ways to use an object as they could可知，他们必须设法想出尽可能多的不同的方法来使用一个物体。故选d。【13题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段第二句 many participants reported that they were daydreaming while performing the easy taskso the researchers believed that this daydreaming might have helped unlock their creativity（很多参与者说他们既做了梦又轻松完成工作。专家认为这种梦有助于释放创造力）可知，因为参与者白天做梦有助于解放创造力所以他们是表现最好的。故选b。【14题详解】词义猜测题。根据划线词下文内容even when you are not actively working to solve a problem，it is still in the back of your mindyour brain is still thinking about the problem，but in a much more subtle （不易察觉的） way即使你没有积极地去解决一个问题，它仍然在你的脑海中。你的大脑仍然在思考这个问题，但是以一种更微妙的方式。由此可知划线词的意思是你的大脑正在思考一个超出你意识的问题。故选c。【15题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句if you are in need of a new idea，try daydreaming可知，这篇文章主要是想告诉我们白日梦是一种提高创造力的方法。故选b。【点睛】概括主旨的方法是：先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句，若无明显主题句，就通过关键词句来概括（如议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句，记叙文寻找概括情节和中心的动词或反映人物特点的形容词）。文中出现两种或两种以上的不同观点时，务必牢记作者的观点才是体现全文中心的。本题第3小题，根据第一段最后一句if you are in need of a new idea，try daydreaming可知，这篇文章主要是想告诉我们白日梦是一种提高创造力的方法。第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。most people want to find ways to travel inexpensively. the
