Passage 1

(09·上海)

Most people believe they don’t have much imagination. They are    50   .Everyone has imagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to    51   it. Creativity isn’t always   52   with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time   53   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 taking   54   ideas 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 idea/words   55   with candles: light, fire, matches, wax, night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the   56   to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to but a friend an original   57   ; you could buy him tickets to match or take him out for the night.

NO limits! Imagine that normal limitations don’t   58   . You have as much time/space/money, etc. as you want. Think about your goal and the new   59   .If your goal is to learn to ski,   60   , you can now practise skiing every day of your life (because you have the time and the money). Now    61    this to reality.  Maybe you can practise skiing ever day in December, or every Monday in January.

Be someone else! Look at the situation from a    62   point of view. Good businessmen use this technique in trade, and so do writes. Fiction writers often imagine they are the   63   in their books. They ask question: 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 their    64   . The best fishermen think like fish!

Passage 2

(09·江苏)

The requirements for high school graduation have just changed in my community. As a result, all students must   36   sixty hours of service learning,   37   they will not receive a diploma. Service learning is academic learning that also helps the community.    38    of service learning include cleaning up a polluted river, working in a soup kitchen, or tutoring a student.    39   a service experience, students must keep a journal(日志)and then write a   40   about what they have learned.

Supporters claim that there are many   41    of service learning. Perhaps most importantly, students are forced to think   42   their own interests and become   43   of the needs of others. Students are also able to learn real-life skills that   44    responsibility, problem-solving, and working as part of a team.   45  , students can explore possible careers   46   service learning.

For example, if a student wonders what teaching is like, he or she can choose to work in an elementary school classroom a few afternoons each month.  47   there are many benefits, opponents (反对者)   48   problems with the new requirement. First, they   49   that the main reason students go to school is to learn core subjects and skills. Because service learning is time-consuming, students spend   50   time studying the core subjects. Second, they believe that forcing students to work without   51   goes against the law. By requiring service, the school takes away an individual's freedom to choose.

In my view, service learning is a great way to   52   to the community, learn new skills, and explore different careers.   53   , I don' t believe you should force people to help others – the  54   to help must come from the heart. I think the best   55    is one that gives students choices: a student should be able to choose sixty hours of independent study or sixty hours of service. Choice encourages both freedom and responsibility, and as young adults, we must learn to handle both wisely.

There are many good things about   39   in the Third World.

A child   43   in this way learns his or her role through joining in the community's   44   :helping to dig or build,look after animals or babies--rather than   45   playing with water and sand in kindergarten, keeping pets   46   playing with dolls.

These children may grow up with a less oppressive sense of space and time than the   47   children. Their sense of days and time has a lot to do with the change of seasons and positions of the sun or the moon in the sky. Children in the rich world,   48   , are provided with a watch as one of the   49   signs of growing up, so that they can   50   along with their parents about being late for school times, meal times, bed times, the times of TV shows…

Third World children do not usually   51   to stay indoors, still less in highrise apartments(公寓).Instead of dangerous roads,"keep off the grass" signs and "don't speak to strangers",there is often a sense of   52   to study and play. Parents can see their children outside rather than observe them   53   from ten floors up.

  54   , twelve million children under five still die every year through hunger and disease.But childhood in the Third World is not all   55  .

I got on well with the other girls who lived in my dorm. 39 , instead of finishing my homework 40 it was due, I went upstairs and had ice cream with my neighbor. I always finished it the next day between classes. I knew 41 wasn’t very good and the grade I 42 showed my lack of effort.

I was 43 that I needed to find some sort of balance.

So I created a schedule that would 44 my time up between going to class, doing homework, and relaxing. It seemed like a good idea, 45 I was only able to 46 it for a few days. A schedule like that was too much pressure.

Then, under the list of things I had to get done, I 48 a list of things I could do if I had time.

Passage 2

(江苏省扬州市2009届高三第三次调研测试)

You know it’s truly amazing how the Jewish people survived after thousands of years of being slaves, persecuted(追捕), and even attempted genocide (种族灭绝)when Hitler’s Nazi murdered 6 million Jews! That’s why in 1934, Germany was the    36    place to be a Jew. When Hitler’s teenage gangs    37    his village, the little    38    boy, Heinz, was just 11 years old.

    Every day Heinz’s parents taught their    39    how important it was to learn    40   . When the Nazi gangs terrorized their village on the streets daily, Heinz’s parents knew that just one moment of losing control of their    41    against their rulers could    42    the death of the family. So Heinz learned to stay out of their    43   , sometimes crossing the street or taking a    44    road home.

     But one day, young Heinz was finally    45    by one of Hitler’s bullies(暴徒). For the first time, Heinz was    46    to talk to a Nazi youth. But by staying calm and    47    choosing his words, Heinz surprised himself when he    48    his way out of trouble and    49    this bully not to hurt him    50    to let him go. That day, Heinz discovered his survival skill of talking and    51    with others. It was a major    52    point that changed his life---and later changed the world.

      After a few years, Heinz’s family escaped from Germany and moved to America. But Heinz never forgot how to talk with people and help bring    53    between enemies. You see, that 11-year-old boy who had    54    his first peace settlement with a Nazi bully, later became one of the greatest ambassadors of peace in the world. You’ve probably heard of him- not as Heinz- but by his American name: Henry Kissinger, the    55    US Secretary of State.

Passage 3

(安徽师大附中2009届高三第二次模拟考试)

Signs can sometimes be seen at the entrance of a house, expressing that a tramp has passed. This special sign-language is frequently   36   by tramps to inform their   37   whether the host of a certain house is friendly or unfriendly, and to   38   them the trouble of making unnecessary calls.

      Quite   39   one day, I came across a real tramp. He was such a rare sight these days that I stood some distance away and watched him. He was dressed just as a tramp should be   40  , old worn trousers, and a jacket many sizes too big for him. On his head there was a battered old hat and his boots were so old and worn; they were almost coming into   41  . But the man himself looked cheerful as if he had not a   42   in the world. He rubbed his nose with his forefinger,   43   a funny turn, laid a small parcel by the front gate, and began   44   a sign made by a former caller. Although the sign was meaningless to me, it must have been   45 , for the tramp’s face lit up with   46 . He entered the front gate confidently and rang the bell. When the door opened, I saw him   47   his hat but couldn’t hear his words. The   48  was very short indeed, for no sooner had he spoken a few words than the door closed fiercely in his face. I felt   49   for him as he walked   50  out of the house, But just as quickly, his face lit up again and he moved quickly towards the gate. There he stopped, looked at the sign, and   51  his head seriously as if he had made a bad mistake.   52  deeply into his pockets, he produced a piece of chalk, rubbed out the   53  sign and made a new one in its place. He stared at it for a moment smiling to himself, then gathered his   54  , pushed back his hat and began walking towards the next house at an unhurried   55  , whistling as he went along.

Passage 4

(南昌市南昌二中高三冲刺模拟考试)

Mars is not, it seems, the dry old planet we once believed    36    .Astronauts who are     37    to go there in the next decade may find plenty    38   water to slake (消除) their thirst.And with water present the    39    of finding some sort of life of Mars are    40    brighter.

       This is the view of forty geologists who have been analyzing    41    of pictures and other scientific    42    obtained by robot explorers in the sixties and seventies.

       To begin with, scientists thought the Red planet was as    43    as the Moon    44    dust storms swirling over vast sandy    45    .But now the picture is very different    46    mountains and valleys carved by    47    glaciers and rivers rushing and rumbling deep underground.

       In a report on the analysis of the Martian pictures Dr.Michael Car of the U.S.Geological Survey comments: “I am convinced    48    lots of water on Mars.” Any surface water will be in the    49    of ice.But it could save explorers from    50    to take so much    51    with them.

       The report says    52   Mars probably had a warmer climate in ages    53    due to its axis (轴) having been more tilted (倾斜) towards the sun.

       54     signs of plant or animal life have been detected by instruments landed on Mars,    55    the landing vehicles have been sent there for a few years.

Passage 8

(广东省茂名市第十中学2010届高三第一次模拟)

Scientific experiments can sometimes go wrong and when they do them, results may range from the disastrous to the troubling. One such   21  took place in South America about fifty   22  ago.
