Creativity is the key to a brighter future, say education and business experts. Here is how schools and parents can encourage this important skill in children.
If Dick Drew had listened to his boss in 1925, we   36   not have a product that we now think of as of great importance: a new type of   37  . Drew worked for the Minnesota Mining Company. At work he developed a kind of material strong enough to hold things together.   38  his boss told him not to think more about the idea. Finally, using his own time, Drew improved the tape, which now is used everywhere by many people. And his   39   company learned from its mistake. Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their work time just thinking about and developing new   40  .
Creativity is not something one is just born with, nor is it   41   a character of high intelligence. The fact that a person is highly intelligent does not   42   that he uses it creatively. Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce new ideas that are good for something.  43  , schools have not tried to encourage creativity. With strong attention to test results and the development of reading, writing and mathematical skills, many educators   44  creativity for correct answers. The result is that children can give back information but cannot recognize ways to use it in new   45  . They may know the rules correctly, but they are   46   to use them to work out practical problems.
It is important to give children   47  . From the earliest age, children should be allowed to make decisions and understand their results. Even if it’s choosing between two food items for lunch, parents should let their children decide how to use their time or spend their money, but not help them too much if they make the   48   decision. The child may have a hard time, but that is all right. This is ___49___the most important character of creative people is a very strong  ___50    to find a way out of trouble.

请认真阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
What is it about maths, anyway? Why is it that a ___36___ who would rather die than ___37___ they found reading difficult at school will happily say he is brain-dead when it ___38___ to numbers?
“I was ___39___ at maths at school,” they say. “still am. Can’t ___40___ up to save my life. My little girl takes after____41___. Thinks take-aways are something to do with fish and chips. Ha-ha!” Oh, how we all laugh.
But how many of us remember it being ___42___ at the time? How many of us remember the blind panic of the Monday morning maths test when the ___43___ we could hope for was a miracle(奇迹) to make the numbers we ___44___ without thinking as answers somehow ___45___ the questions?
On the face of it, today’s children can ___46___ be considered happier and more satisfied. They have a daily numeracy lesson ___47___ to improving their maths skills. But if that sounds like hell to you, you may ___48__ find that your child surprises you by actually quite ___49__ it.
One of the __50___ is that over the last ten years or so, there has been a ___51___ in the way maths is taught. And many of those who teach it feel it’s been a ___52__ for the better. There’s generally much more emphasis now on __53___ arithmetic, getting children used to doing calculations without forever having a pen in one hand and a calculator in the other. Often the first question a teacher will ask is: can you do this in your___54___? And if they can, they do.
The whole approach is more___55___, the goal to get children understanding numbers, not just putting them through the uninteresting process of learning something by repeating it until they remember it.

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。
We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job.   71 .
So, you have to give a speech ─ and you are terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble (结结巴巴) over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank Goodness, it’s over. I’m just not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”
Cheer up!   72 . Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of your time doing your research. Then spend plenty of your time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many example as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly.   73 . Don’t talk over their heads, and don't talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief,   74 . And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.
If you follow these simple steps, you will see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You’re not convinced yet?   75 .

A.It doesn’t have to be that bad.
B.Take several deep breaths before your speech.
C.This article gives some advice on how to give a good speech.
D.Say what you have to say and then stop.
E.Don’t say what you aren’t familiar with.
F.Never forget your audience.
G.Give it a try and see what happens.

科目:高中英语 来源:2012届湖南省衡阳市八中高三第一次月考(英语) 题型:阅读理解

I am a writer. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language — the way it can evoke(唤起) an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth. Language is the tool of my trade. And I use them all—all the Englishes I grew up with.
Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, I’ve been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as “broken” English. But feel embarrassed to say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than “broken”, as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness. I’ve heard other terms used, “limited English,” for example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including people’s perceptions(认识)of the limited English speaker.
I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mother’s “limited” English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed of her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is, because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.
I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I won’t get into today, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me, which for lack of a better term might be described as “broken”, and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese, her internal(内在的)language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure: I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show; her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts.
【小题1】By saying “Language is the tool of my trade”, the author means that ______.

A.she uses English in foreign tradeB.she is fascinated by languages
C.she works as a translatorD.she is a writer by profession
【小题2】The author used to think of her mother’s English as ______.
A.impoliteB.amusingC.imperfectD.practical
【小题3】Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?
A.Americans do not understand broken English.
B.The author’s mother was not respected sometimes.
C.The author’ mother had positive influence on her.
D.Broken English always reflects imperfect thoughts.
【小题4】The author gradually realizes her mother’s English is ______.
A.well structuredB.in the old styleC.easy to translateD.rich in meaning
【小题5】What is the passage mainly about?
A.The changes of the author’s attitude to her mother’s English.
B.The limitation of the author’s perception of her mother.
C.The author’s misunderstanding of “limited” English.
D.The author’s experiences of using broken English.
