While we believe creative thinking is the falling apple of Isaac Newton, one of the greatest scientists, we seldom notice that creative thinking is in fact a process(过程). Let's look at what happened in 1666. Sitting in the garden, Newton watched an apple fall from a tree. He began to wonder if the same force that pulled the apple down also kept the moon circling the earth. Newton believed it did. He called it“gravity(重力).” This story has become one of the most popular examples of“eureka”moments. But when we cheer for the great discovery, the whole process of creative thinking shouldn't be forgotten. Newton studied math for long to have a better understanding of the world. He always enjoyed finding new ways to solve problems. The falling apple was only the fruit of years of hard work before. It also started the train of thought that continued for the next twenty years. Newton began to examine“gravity”carefully. He experimented (实验). Then he studied the results and used what he had learned to do new experiments. In 1687, the greatest scientific work ever written came out. The whole process of creative thinking works the same in our life. In school, we prepare ourselves for the right moment. Once the moment comes, we catch it and then keep on working in the years to come. It takes much to get the fruits of creative thinking, but the sweetest fruits will be ready for those who wait the longest. 36. Isare Newton is adamous . A. doctor B. engineer C. chemist D. scientist 37. The underlined word“eureka”in Paragraph 4 probably means“ ”. < A. I've got it B. I give up C. I've no idea D. I believe it 38. The writer mainly develops his idea by . A. raising questions B. giving examples C. listing numbers D. explaining differences 39. The creative thinking process for Newton follows the order of . a. He caught the right moment. b. He did experiments over and over again. c. He saw an apple fall from a tree. d. He studied math for long. A. a-c-d-b B. d-a-c-b C. a-b-c-d D. d-c-a-b 40. The best title of this passage probably is . A. Newton Did Experiments. B. Newton Discovered the Gravity. C. Experiments Make Newton Famous. D. Creative Thinking Needs Hard work. 英语试卷 · 第 6 页 共 8 页 第三节 (共5 小题;每小题1.5分,满分7.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后所给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，并将所选答案涂到答题卡的相应位置上。 “The only constant(不变) in life is change,”Heraclit us said in about 500 B. C. That could be more true today. Technology is out of date almost by the time you buy it. We get plenty of information every day. Francis Bacon said,“Knowledge is power.”In fact, there is more information in a newspaper than he would have experienced in his whole life. Why are we afraid of change? 42 After all, who knows what new dangers might appear?However, change is also the only way of development . Nobody can stop it in life. Luckily, our brains become stronger when meeting the unknown. 43 To be more imaginative and creative you should look for and find environments you have no experience with. 48 For exampye, try a new restaurant, or go to a play or a concert you normally wouldn't attend. Small changes can help you gradually get used to uncertainty(不确定). So when bigger things happen, you'll be more fully prepared for them. People who fear change often stick to a certain lifestyle. They believe they can control the future by doing so. If you can move from just accepting it to actively finding it out and dealing with it, you will be successful. A. People are thirsty for knowledge. B. But change comes whether you ask for it or not. C. That's because our brains want to protect us. D.
