Most people believe they don’t have much imagination. They are1 . Everyone has imagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to2it. Creativity isn’t always3with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time4 think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind! Here are three techniques to help you.
Making connections. This technique involves taking5ideas and trying to find links between them. First, think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image, word, idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all the ideas/words6with candles: light, fire, matches, wax, night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the7to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy a friend an original8; you could buy him tickets to match or take him out for the night.
NO limits! Imagine that normal limitations don’t9. You have as much time /space / money, etc. as you want. Think about your goal and the new10. If your goal is to learn to ski,11, you can now practise skiing every day of your life (because you have the time and the money). Now12this to reality.Maybe you can practise skiing every day in December, or every Monday in January.
Be someone else! Look at the situation from a13point of view. Good businessmen use this technique in trade, and so do writers. Fiction writers often imagine they are the14 in their books. They ask questions: What does this character want? Why can’t she get it? What changes must she make to get what she wants? If your goal involves other people, put yourself in their15.

If I see one more article about how wonderful alternative energy is compared to oil, I will flip(翻页). Alternative energy sources can be good---- very good in fact. And it’s pretty obvious that we’re going to need them, and that our dependence on oil is a Bad Thing. But accepting that does not mean accepting that any kind of alternative energy is a good thing.
To be a good thing, it has to have three properties: 1) It has to help reduce our dependence on oil, 2) It has to be no worse for the environment, and 3) It has to be economically practical.
Many of the things praised meet one or even two of those properties. Solar panels, for example. They can reduce our need for oil, at least in certain regions, and they’re certainly not bad for the environment. But they’re expensive. If you spend the money to make your home solar-powered, you probably won’t get back your costs for at least 15 years, which approaches the lifespan of the panels.
Certainly we need to clean up our act big time and find workable sources of alternative energy. But we also have to keep in mind that every one of these alternative-energy sources comes at a cost, which is something people seem to forget. They hear the phrase “alternative energy” and automatically assume it’s got to be good. But green isn’t always good, and oil isn’t always bad.
One seemingly “green” technology that pops up again and again is electric cars. It is praised by well-meaning people as good for the environment and a way to reduce our oil dependence, especially as oil prices continue to rise.
Electric cars are dirty. In fact, not only are they dirty, they might even be more dirty than their gasoline-powered cousins.
People in California love to talk about “ zero-emissions vehicles”, but people in California seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from. Power plants mostly use fire to make it. Aside from the new folks who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators. Generators are fueled by something---- usually coal, oil, but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants. There are a few wind farms and geothermal（地热的） plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something.
In other words, those “zero-emissions” cars are likely coal-burning cars. It’s just because the coal is burned somewhere else that it looks clean. It is not. It’s as if the California Greens are covering their eyes ---- “ If I can’t see it, it’s not happening. “ Gasoline is an incredibly efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it. But when you take that gas ( or another fue) and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heat ---- at the generator, through the transmission（传送） lines, etc.
A gallon of gas may propel your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won’t get you nearly as far ---- so electric cars burn more fuel than gas- powered ones. If our electricity came mostly from nukes; or geothermal, or hydro, or solar, or wind, then an electric car truly would be clean. But for political, technical, and economic reasons, we don’t use much of those energy sources.
In addition, electric cars’ batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill. And finally, when cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads. When it’s a power plant, though, all the junk is in one lace. Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot.

1.
Which of the following statements will the writer support?
1. A.
  Any kind of alternative energy is a good thing.
2. B.
  Alternative energy is bound to take the place of oil.
3. C.
  People should have an objective view towards alternative energy.
4. D.
  Solar panel is a good example of alternative energy that meets three properties.
2.
What does “ clueless” mean in Paragraph 7?
1. A.
  People see the California Greens everywhere.
2. B.
  People in California love to talk about zero-emissions vehicles.
3. C.
  People in California love to have their roofs covered with solar cells.
4. D.
  People there have no idea that so far electrically mainly comes from burning coal, oil, etc.
3.
What is the main idea for the text?
1. A.
  Green technology is not always green.
2. B.
  Alternative energy is economically practical.
3. C.
  Electric cars are not clean at all.
4. D.
  Gasoline is an efficient way to power a vehicle.
4.
According to the text, electric cars ___________.
1. A.
  are more environmentally friendly
2. B.
  burn more fuel than gas-powered ones
3. C.
  are very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated
4. D.
  are poisonous for a long time and will eventually end up in a landfill
5.

1. A.
  being green is good and should be encouraged in communication
2. B.
  electric cars are not clean in that we get electricity mainly by burning something
3. C.
  zero-emissions vehicles should be chosen to protect our environment
4. D.
  electric cars are now the dominant vehicle compared with gasoline-powered cousins

I met Mrs. Neidl in the ninth grade on a stage-design team for a play and she was one of the directors. Almost instantly I loved her. She had an Unpleasant voice and a direct way of speaking, 1she was encouraging and inspiring. For some reason, she was impressed with my work and me.
Mrs. Neidl would ask me for my 2. She wanted to know how I thought we should 3things. At first I had no idea how to answer because I knew 4about stage design! But I slowly began to respond to her 5. It was cause and effect: She believed I had opinions, so I began to 6them. She trusted me to complete things, so I completed them perfectly. She loved how 7I was, so I began to show up to paint more and more. She believed in me, so I began to believe in myself.
Mrs. Neidl's 8that year was, "Try it. We can always paint over it 9!" I began to take 10. I had been so afraid of failing but suddenly there was no failing --- only things to be 11upon. I learned to dip my brush into the paint and 12create something.
The shy, quiet freshman achieved success that year. I was 13 in the program as "Student Art Assistant" because of the time and effort I'd put in. It was that year that I 14I wanted to spend the rest of my life doing stage design.

科目：高中英语 来源： 题型：阅读理解

I find it pleasant to be alone the greater part of the time; to be in company, even with the best, is soon tiresome and wasteful, and I never found a companion so companionable as solitude (独处).
We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad than when we stay in the meeting-rooms, for solitude is not measured by the miles of space between a man and his fellows.
The farmer, who can work alone all day without feeling lonesome, but must do something with others to get pleasure at night, wonders how the student can sit alone at night; he does not realize that the student, though in the house, is actually at work in his field and cutting his wood as the farmer was in his.
Society is commonly too cheap：We meet at very short intervals (间隔) ,not having had time to get any new value for each other; we meet at meals three times a day and give each other a new taste of that unpleasant old cheese; we live thick and are in each other’s way, and I think that we thus lose some respect for one another.
We have had to agree on a certain set of rules, called etiquette and politeness, to make this frequent meeting tolerable (可忍受的); certainly less frequency would be enough for all important and hearty communications between men.
It would be better if there were but one to live within a square mile, as where I live ,for as the value of a man is not in his skin, we need not touch him.

1.
The writer uses the example of the farmer and the student to show that _____.
1. A.
  men need to do something for pleasure after their work.
2. B.
  men are not lonely when they are working.
3. C.
  solitude is necessary for a student.
4. D.
  people have different ideas of solitude.
2.
When the writer says：“Society is commonly too cheap” he means that ______.
1. A.
  we meet not frequently enough so we don’t understand each other well.
2. B.
  we eat cheap food and live a simple life so we don’t feel very happy.
3. C.
  our lives are too regular for us to find any happiness in them.
4. D.
  people don’t have enough hearty communication to realize the value in others
3.
The writer’s opinion on the value of a man is that _____.
1. A.
  it is made too low by the rules of etiquette and politeness.
2. B.
  it can be discovered through frequent physical touch.
3. C.
  it can be found in a man’s appearance.
4. D.
  it doesn’t lie in physical touch.
4.
The writer almost believes that ______.
1. A.
  a student and a farmer have no idea of solitude.
2. B.
  the same life we live every day is the cause of man’s loneliness.
3. C.
  etiquette and politeness are rules that make frequent meetings tolerable.
4. D.
  less frequent meetings can make us more clear about the value of men.
