For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
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 buy 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!

小題1:由下文“Everyone has imagination…”可知大部分人認為他們沒有多少想象力的觀點四錯誤的。wrong錯誤的；believable可信的； reasonable合理的, 有道理的, 通情達理的, 講道理的；realistic現(xiàn)實(主義)的。故答案為A。
小題2:一旦我們長大，我們中的許多人就忘記如何利用想象力。所以下文教你如何培養(yǎng)自己的想象力。put up with容忍；catch up with趕上，跟上；make use of利用；keep track of明了。
小題3:下文談論的都是有關個人工作生活的瑣事，所以本句意思應該為“創(chuàng)造力不總是和偉大的藝術和思想著作聯(lián)系在一起的。
小題4:人們在工作和閑暇時間，都會很正常的想出一起解決問題的辦法。skillfully巧妙地, 技術好地；routinely例行公事地，正常的；vividly生動地, 鮮明地；deeply深深地。
小題5:由下文舉蠟燭的例子可知，本句的意思是：這種技巧要求寫下互不相關的想法并努力找到它們之間的聯(lián)系。familiar熟悉的, 常見的, 聽慣的, 親近的, 隨便的；unrelated無關的
不相干的；creative創(chuàng)造性的；imaginary假想的, 想象的, 虛構的。
小題6:由下文敘述可知，此處是說：寫下和蠟燭有關的所有想法和詞語……。present介紹, 引見, 給, 贈送, 上演, 提出, 呈現(xiàn)； mark做標記于, 打分數(shù), 標志；light點著, 變亮；associate使發(fā)生聯(lián)系, 使聯(lián)合。
小題7:你能想到多少就想多少，下一步是把這些想法和你必須要做的事情聯(lián)系在一起。idea想法, 念頭, 意見, 主意, 思想, 觀念, 概念；ambition野心, 雄心；achievement成就, 功績； technique技術, 技巧, 方法, 表演法, 手法。
小題8:假設你想為朋友買一個有創(chuàng)意的禮物，你可以買張看比賽的票或者晚上請他出去消遣。experience經(jīng)驗, 體驗, 經(jīng)歷, 閱歷；service服務, 服務性工作, 服役, 儀式；present贈品, 禮物；object物體, 目標, 賓語, 對象。
小題9:由標題“NO limits!”和后文“You have as much time/space/money, etc. as you want.”可推知此處是說：想象一下一般的限制都不存在。
小題10:考慮你的目標和新的可能做到的事情。possibility可能性, 可能發(fā)生的事物； limitation限制, 局限性；tendency趨向, 傾向；practice實行, 實踐, 實際。
小題11:這里舉滑雪作為例子，故要用for example。
小題12:由下文“Maybe you can practice skiing ever day in December, or every Monday in January. ”可推知此處是說：現(xiàn)在使這個目標適應現(xiàn)實。adapt…to…使適應。
小題13:本段說到了“換位思考”的技巧，故本空應該選擇C。要求人們從不同的角度看待問題。
小題14:小說作家常常把自己想象成自己書中的一個人物。feature特征, 容貌, 特色, 特寫； theme題目, 主題；creature人, 動物, 傀儡, 創(chuàng)造物；character人物，性格。

Some say everyday miracles(奇跡) are predestined(注定的)----the right time for the appointed meeting. And it can happen anywhere.
In 2001, 11-year-old Kevin Stephan was a bat boy for his younger brother's Little League team in Lancaster, New York. It was an early evening in late July. Kevin was standing on the grass away from the plate, where another youngster was warming up for the next game. Swinging his bat back and forth, giving it all the power an elementary school kid could give. The boy brought the bat back hard and hit Kevin in the chest. His heart stopped.
When Kevin fell to the ground, the mother of one of the players rushed out of the stands to his aid. Penny Brown hadn't planned to be there that day, but at the last minute, her shift(換班)at the hospital had been changed to see her son’s performance. She was given the night off. Penny bent over the senseless boy, his face already starting to turn blue, and giving CPR, breathing into his mouth and giving chest compressions. And he revived in the end.
After his recovery, he became a volunteer junior firefighter, learning some of the emergency first-aid techniques that had saved his life. He studied hard in school and was saving money for college by working as a dishwasher in a local restaurant in his spare time.
Kevin, now 18, was working in the kitchen when he heard people screaming, customers in confusion, employees rushing toward a table. He hurried into the main room and saw a woman there, her face turning blue, her hands at her throat. She was choking.
Quickly Kevin stepped behind her, wrapped his arms around her and clasped his hands. Then, using skills he'd first learned in Scouts. The food that was trapped in the woman's throat was freed. The color began to return to her face.
"The food was stuck. I couldn't breathe," she said. She thought she was dying. "I was very frightened."

Penny Brown.

“BANG!” the door caused a reverberation (回聲)．It was just standing there, with father standing on one side , and I on the other side．
We were both in great anger” Never set foot in this house again!” stormed father．With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street．
The street lights were shining, causing rather sad-feeling．I wandered aimlessly．
A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me．I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree．
But now．．．I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old．We differ in our ways of thinking．He always put his opinions and codes of behavior on me．Whenever I do something wrong, he never admits it．We are just like two people coming from two different worlds．It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened．
I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind．My heart was frozen on this hot summer night．As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company．When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived ,I saw that the light was still on．
I thought to myself: “Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?”
In fact, it was nothing．Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps．Perhaps he thought they were useless．I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps．I can’t stand his outrageous(蠻橫的)words: “I can’t throw you away, let alone these old papers ?”
All the lights were off except father’s．
Dad was always like this．Maybe he didn’t know how to express himself．After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret．After an argument he has the habit of creeping up in my sleep and then tucking me underneath the covers．
This was how he always was．He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature．
The light was still on．“Am I wrong?” I whispered ,maybe．．．With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been．At last, I decided to open the door．As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks．I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all．Love—it second to none．
小題1:Decide which is the best order of the following according to what happened in the passage．
a．I opened the door and entered the house．
b．Sadly I ran out into the street．
c．I reached the place where I lived and saw my house still brightly lit．
d．I thought of my father’s kindness towards me．
e．I walked about in the street without any aim．
A．b,e,d,c,aB．b,e,c,d,aC．b,e,a,c,dD．b,e,c,a,d
小題2:What made the writer think of his childhood ?
A．The sight of the street lights．
B．The sight of the empty street．
C．The sight of a father with a child in his arms．
D．The sight of light in his own house．
小題3:Why do you think the father often shouts at his son ?
A．perhaps the father is getting older and older．
B．perhaps the son has already grown up．
C．perhaps they never agree with each other．
D．perhaps the father has got used to doing that．
小題4:What conclusion can you come to after reading the passage ?
A．The father treats his son in an unfair way．
B．The father is actually kind to his son．
C．The father is neither kind nor cruel to his son．
D．The father is always finding fault with his son．

Sep．30
I moved into the dormitory today—an ugly building and near a busy main road too．My room is small but quite pleasant．I must get some posters for the walls, though．I met a few fellow students at supper （the food was awful!）They all look much younger than me．They are, of course!
Oct．07
Lectures began last Monday．So far they haven't been very interesting （except for the man who lectures on drama．He's first class）．Personally, I'd much rather go to the library and read, but I have to attend ten lectures a week．Those are the "rules"! Well, at least you meet people there．
Oct．12
I realiy don't like life in the dormitory at all．The food is bad and the students are noisy．They stay up half the night and play games just outside my room．When on earth do they sleep? When do they work? Besides, I don't like my room．It's just like living in a box! It looks even smaller now, with the posters on the wall．I am wondering how long it will he before I can feel as comfortable as I did living in my high school dormitory．
Oct．26
I tried to explain some of my problems to my supervisor today．She listened—but that was about all．"You have to go to lectures, you know, Ann," she lold me．''And the dormitory is cheap and convenient．" "Cheap and convenient"! Well．il isn't "cheap" if you can't eat the food and it isn't "convenient" if you can't sleep at night!
Oct．30
I can’t believe it ! Three other students—I met them at a lecture and they' re all about my own age—have invited me to share a flat with them．It's in an old house and it has its own kitchen, so   we can cook for ourselves．And my room—righy at the top of the house—is fantastic!

I moved into my new room last Sunday．I feel really happy．Life is going to be so much more fun from now on!
