阅读理解短文
As a student,I spent many days and nights standing on a forested slope in the rain.I loved
the outdoors,and it was more like play than work.I was thrilled when I could connect what I saw
to what I read.My ideas seemed to flow like the stream I was trying to understand.
When I started my first teaching position,I no longer had the freedom to focus purely on
research or think deeply about any given topic.I was consumed by pressing management demands
and my creative stream narrowed.
A decade later,I moved to a new university and was able to return to the topic I studied for my
Ph.D.research.I found that if I could be in the moment with my students and act as a sounding
board for new ideas-and not be distracted by my mid-career responsibilities-then I could play
a part in their creative thought process.
Creativity crept back into my work life,but I hadn't yet found a way to stimulate my own
deep thinking.Another decade had passed before I learned how to get my own creative stream
flowing again.
After accepting a position in my hometown,I had a few months between jobs when I was as
free as a bird.And that's when my first real post-Ph.D.eureka moment (struck,while I was
at a gym watching the rain fall onto a lawn outside.I was able to visualize similar processes that
I had been trying to understand.But it was even more thrilling because it was a type of thought
that I worried had permanently dried up.It was clear that I needed to slow down and experience
the rain more often!
In this new job,I tried to heed (this enlightenment.I made a point to think and write
3
a little bit at home each morning,in a room overlooking the large river.After that,I'd cycle to
work along the banks,which helped me process those ideas and remember my daily goal of being
curious.Fun drove what I worked on.And soon enough,I had new ideas to bring to the table.
I now encourage my students to disconnect and take time out to think,to play,to have fun
with their research.And to make these things a permanent habit in their lives.I also tell them to
pay attention to the conditions and places that foster their curiosity and ability to think deeply.
By openly discussing creativity,I hope we can help the next generation of scientists avoid losing it
along the way,as I did.

答案与逐题解析
正确答案:21-24CDBD
21.C (He was not as creative as before.)
考点:细节理解+语义对比
语境逻辑:第一段提到作者学生时代“ideas seemed to flow like the stream”,而开始第一份教
学工作时“creative stream narrowed”,即创造力减弱。
选项辨析:A项“失去研究兴趣”无依据;B项“无法清晰思考”过于绝对;D项“被学生严苛
要求”与原文“pressed management demands”不符。C项“不如以前有创造力”与“creative
stream narrowed”一致。
22.D(He engaged himself in students'thinking process.)
考点:细节理解+信息定位
语境逻辑:第二段“if I could be in the moment with my students..act as a sounding board for
new ideas..play a part in their creative thought process”明确说明作者参与学生的思维过程。
选项辨析:A项“帮助学生博士研究”原文未提;B项“发现新课题”与“return to the topic
I studied for my Ph.D.research”矛盾;C项“承担更多职责”与“not be distracted by my
mid-career responsibilities”不符。D项“参与学生思维过程”符合原文表述。
23.B (Inspired and refreshed.)
考点:情感态度+语境分析
语境逻辑:第三段提到在家乡的空闲时间“my first real post-Ph.D.eureka moment struck”“thrilling
because it was a type of thought that I worried had permanently dried up”,表明灵感重现、状
态恢复。
选项辨析:A项“精力充沛且自豪”、C项“激动且被支持”、D项“好奇且爱冒险”均不准确。
B项“受到启发且焕然一新”符合“顿悟”和创造力复苏的语境。
24.D (All work no play makes Jack a dull boy.)
考点:主旨归纳+谚语理解
语境逻辑:作者通过自身经历强调“disconnect and take time out to think,to play,to have fun”
对保持创造力的重要性,告诫学生避免因过度工作失去创造力。
选项辨析:A项“金窝银窝不如自家草窝”强调家乡重要性,偏离主旨;B项“小流汇成大河”
指积累,无关;C项“创造力是发明之母”未体现“玩耍、放松”的核心;D项“只工作不玩耍,
聪明孩子也变傻”与作者提倡“play、fun、disconnect”的理念一致。
