【题目】—Today’s newspaper says John B. Goodenough, with another two scientists, ________ this year’s Nobel Prize for Chemistry.

—Yes. And this 97-year-old scientist is the oldest Nobel Prize winner so far.

A.gaveB.was givenC.were given

【答案】B

【解析】

句意:——今天的报纸上说John B. Goodenough和另外两个科学家一起,被授予今年的诺贝尔化学奖。——是的。且这位97岁的科学家是目前为止年纪最大的诺贝尔奖获得者。

考查一般过去时的被动语态。根据题意可知John B. Goodenough是诺贝尔奖获得者,与give之间是动宾关系,要用被动语态,一般过去时的被动语态结构为“was/were done”;主语John B. Goodenough是单数,be动词用was。故选B

【题目】 Do you have trouble trying to create the next big idea? Sometimes the answer isn’t to just force an idea out of your mind. Instead, you might want to try sitting back, relaxing and letting your mind wander(走神). 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(联系)between daydreaming and creative problem-solving. Their study includes having participants(参与者)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(跳过)12-minute break and move right on to the task exercise again.

Surprisingly, the group that performed(执行) 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(不易察觉的)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.

1What could you do to create great ideas according to the passage?

A.Work hard.B.Let your mind wander.C.Have a nice sleep. D.Read more books.

2The “unusual-use task” included having participants______________________.

A.complete an easy taskB.complete a very difficult task

C.take a 12-minute breakD.come up with different ways to use an object

3Why did the participants who completed the easy task perform best?

A.Because they were more creative than the others.

B.Because they were more knowledgeable than the others

C.Because they were better at solving problems than the others

D.Because they had the time to daydream, which might have helped unlock their creativity.

4What does the underlined phrase “unconscious thought” in Paragraph 5 mean?

A.Your brain is thinking about a problem outside of your awareness(意识)

B.Your brain knows what you’re thinking and doing.

C.Your brain has a purpose of its own that cannot be known.

D.Your brain refuses to receive any information from the outside world.

5What is the main idea of the passage?

A.Brainstorming is important to creative ideas.

B.The more we exercise our brains, the more ideas we will have.

C.Daydreaming is a way to improve creativity.

D.Problem-solving skills are important in our lives.

“What should I call you?” he asked.

Mom, I wanted to cry. I held back.

“You can call me Mom or Betsy, _______ feels OK for you.”

I waited, _______ my new title.
