　　I've been writing for most of my life. The book Writing Without Teachers introduced me to one difference and one practice that have greatly helped my writing processes. The difference is between the creative mind and the critical mind. While you need to use both of the creative mind and the critical mind to reach a finished result，they cannot work in parallel no matter how much we might like to think so.

　　Trying to criticize writing on the fly is possible the single greatest trouble with writing that most of us meet. If you are listening to a 5th grade English teacher correcting your grammar while you are trying to capture a fleeting（稍縱即逝的）thought, the thought will die. If you catch the fleeting thought and simply share it with the world in raw form, no one is likely to understand. You must learn to create first and then criticize if you want to make writing the tool for thinking as it is.

　　The practice that can help you overcome your learned bad habits of trying to edit as you write is what Elbow calls“free writing”. In free writing, the goal is to get words down on paper non-stop，usually for 15—20 minutes. No stopping, no going back, no criticizing. The aim is to get the words flowing. As the words begin to flow，the ideas will come from the shadows and let themselves be captured on your notepad or your screen.

　　Now you have raw materials that you can begin to work with using the critical mind that you’ve persuaded to sit on the side and watch quietly. Most likely，you will believe that this will take more time than you actually have and you will end up staring blankly at the pages as the deadlines draws near.

　　Instead of staring at a blank start and filling it with words no matter how bad they could be，stop halfway through your available time and rework your raw writing into something closer to the finished product. Move back and forth until you run out of time and the final result will most likely be far better than your current practices.

67．When the author says the creative mind and the critical mind“cannot work in parallel”in the writing process，he means_____.

A．no one can be both creative and critical

B．they can’t be regarded as equally important

C．they are in constant conflict with each other

D．one cannot use them at the same time

68．What usually prevents people from writing on is_____.

A．putting their ideas in raw form

B．a(chǎn)ttempting to edit as they’re writing

C．ignoring grammatical problems

D．trying to capture their fleeting thoughts

69．What is the chief purpose of the first stage of writing？

A．To organize one’s thoughts logically.

B．To choose an appropriate topic.

C．To get one’s ideas down quickly.

D．To collect many more raw materials.

70．In what way does the critical mind help the writer in the writing process？

A．It refines his writing into a better shape.

B．It helps him to come up with new ideas.

C．It saves the writing time available to him.

D．It allows him to sit on the side and observe.

With the rapid expansion of mass transit system (公交體系), big cities like Shanghai should be able to ease the congestion（擁擠）and pollution caused by an excessive number of cars.

Statistics show that Shanghai’s subway lines will reach 350 km by the end of this year, making the city No. 3 in the world in terms of subway length. Shanghai could be ranked No. 1 when the length is extended to 430 km next May in time for the World Expo. This means about 5.5 million people each day could use the city’s subway system, thereby reducing traffic bottle-necks and air and noise pollution in downtown Shanghai.

At present, Shanghai suffers from severe traffic congestion, during not only rush hours and weekdays but also off-peak hours and weekends.

For years, car emissions (尾氣) have been blamed for contributing 60 percent of the air pollution in the city center, causing various respiratory (呼吸道) diseases.

What’s more, Shanghai has not met its target of noise reduction for five years, which has become a major source of public complaints. Starting from August 1, cars that are considered highly polluting will be banned from entering the city centre.

Shanghai also plans to carry out the China IV emission standards, equivalent to Euro IV, on November 1, ahead of the 2011 national deadline. In addition, Shanghai is building 16 parking lots with 8,000 spaces near subway terminals so that people can park and ride the mass transit system instead of driving their cars into the city center.

Much more needs to be done for truly easing the traffic jams and air and noise pollution caused by automobiles. For example, the ban on using the horn, which was made effective from June 1, 2007, has hardly been enforced.

Many local people still regard owning and driving a car as a kind of demonstration of their wealth, without realizing the traffic and environmental hazards it can cause. When the subway system can take people to their destinations, driving a private car in downtown Shanghai could become a moral issue.

Shanghai should also show courage in leading Chinese cities to adopt the congestion charge system, which the city has been studying for the last eight years. A similar schedule, practiced in London and Singapore, has proved to be effective in reducing pollution and congestion in the city center.

Once Shanghai shows the way, other cities, like Beijing, too, may adopt the practice.

64. The best title for the passage may be___________.

A. Efforts to Ease Congestion & Pollution    B. Benefits of Public Transit System

C. Possibilities to Charge On Congestion     D. Ways to Reduce Car Emission

65. The following is true EXCEPT that Shanghai _________.

   A. plans not to carry out the Euro IV emission standards

 B. could be No. 1 in terms of subway length next May

C. has problems with crowding not only in rush hours

D. has strong public complaints about noise pollution

66. Guess the correct meaning of the underlined word “hazards”.

   A. sudden changes   B. violent forces     C. public dislikes   D. dangerous results

67. The writer of the passage intends to tell us________. 

  A. though many plans have been carried out, the situation is hopeless

  B. difficult as the situation seems, Shanghai is sure to overcome it

C. whether the problems will be solved depends on people’s action

D. environmental problem should be regarded as a moral issue.

       The rising costs of health care have become a problem for many countries in the world. To deal with this problem, it is recommended that a big part of the government's health budget be used for health education and disease prevention instead of treatment. Actually, many kinds of diseases are preventable in many ways and preventing a disease is usually much cheaper than treating it. For example, people could avoid catching a cold if they dressed warmly when the weather starts getting cold. But many people get sick because they fail to do so, and have to spend money seeing a doctor.

       Daily habits like eating more healthy food would have kept millions of families from becoming bankrupt if the patients had taken measures for early prevention. For instance, keeping a balanced diet, such as not consuming too much animal fat and insuring a steady intake of vegetables and fruits, seems to be quite important.

       One very effective and costless way of prevention is regular exercise, which is necessary for a healthy mind and body. Regular exercise, such as running, walking, and playing sports is a good way to make people feel better or reduce stress.

       In addition, health education plays a key role in improving people's health. By giving people more information about health, countries could help people understand the importance of disease prevention and ways to achieve it. For example, knowing one's family medical history is an effective way to help keep healthy. Information about health problems among close relatives will make them aware of what they should do to prevent certain diseases through lifestyle changes, which will work before it is too late.

       However, stressing disease prevention does not mean medical treatment is unimportant. After all, prevention and treatment are just two different means toward the same effect. In conclusion, we could save money on health care and treat patients more successfully if our country spends more money on health prevention and education.

67．What’s the best title of the passage?

       A．Prevention or Education?    B．Prevention or Treatment?

    C．Health or Illness?             D．Exercise or Illness?

68．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “bankrupt’’?

    A．Unable to be cured        B．Unable to pay one’s debts

    C．Stronger than ever before   D．More successful than ever before

69．We learn from the passage that       .

      A．dressing warmly can prevent diseases

      B．a(chǎn) balanced diet is cheaper than regular exercise

      C．the more health education, the better

      D．the government’s health budget should be increased

70．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

CP (Central Point)  P (Point)        Sp (Sub-point次要點(diǎn))          C (Conclusion)
