[对应知能达标训练P26] Ⅰ.阅读理解 What is the secret to the world's most creative minds — the minds of resourceful inventors，innovative scientists and inspired artists? Are they simply lucky to be born with the right genes? Most studies suggest that only about ten percent of creativity is determined by a person's genes. So what are the requirements for creativity? First of all，creativity takes time.We tend to think of breakthroughs as coming in a sudden flash of brilliance，but this is rarely the case.Ideas often develop and form over a long period.In fact，many of history's most creative people have a reputation as day-dreamers or procrastinators.Martin Luther King，Jr，reportedly wrote his “I Have a Dream” speech at ten o'clock the night before he delivered it，but it had gone through a long period of “preparation and incubation” in his mind before that. In a surprising twist，creativity may also be sparked by suffering.We can see this in the lives of many great creative geniuses.Artist Paul Klee suffered great pain for much of his life as did many other artists，and composer Johann Sebastian Bach lost both his parents when he was only nine years old. Those investigating the sources of creativity have noted that some creative geniuses do not always fit in well with social norms.They don't seem able to suppress the fountain of ideas that bubble up in their minds，some of which may seem inappropriate to others.Creative people are also curious.They seem wired to seek novelty and take risks.As children，creative people are often unable to sit still，unable to focus on their lessons，instead，always looking for something new and interesting to capture their attention. The search for the source of creativity continues.Most researchers agree that the answer will be complex and that there is probably no single characteristic which can explain the world's most creative minds. [解题导语]　本文是一篇说明文。大多数研究表明，只有10%的创造力是由一个人的基因决定的。文中主要就创造力的要求和特点进行了说明。 1．Martin Luther King's speech is mentioned to show ． A．creative people magic up ideas B．the creative process requires time C．right genes contribute to creativity D．the last-minute pressure brings breakthroughs 解析　B　推理判断题。根据第二段“First of all，creativity takes time.We tend to think of breakthroughs as coming in a sudden flash of brilliance，but this is rarely the case.Ideas often develop and form over a long period.In fact，many of history's most creative people have a reputation as day-dreamers or procrastinators.Martin Luther King，Jr，reportedly wrote his ‘I Have a Dream’ speech at ten o'clock the night before he delivered it，but it had gone through a long period of ‘preparation and incubation’ in his mind before that.(首先，创造需要时间。我们倾向于认为突破是突如其来的辉煌，但事实并非如此。思想的发展和形成往往需要很长一段时间。事实上，历史上许多最有创造力的人都以空想家或拖延者而闻名。据报道，马丁·路德·金在发表‘我有一个梦想’演讲的前一天晚上10点就写好了，但在那之前，他在头脑中经历了很长一段时间的‘准备和酝酿’)”可推知，马丁·路德·金的演讲被提到是为了表明创造过程需要时间。故选B。 2．How does the author prove his point in the 3rd paragraph? A．By quoting sayings. B．By making comparisons. C．By providing examples. D．By analyzing a phenomenon. 解析　C　推理判断题。根据第三段“In a surprising twist，creativity may also be sparked by suffering.We can see this in the lives of many great creative geniuses.Artist Paul Klee suffered great pain for much of his life as did many other artists，and composer Johann Sebastian Bach lost both his parents when he was only nine years old.(令人惊讶的是，苦难也可能激发创造力。我们可以在许多伟大的创意天才的生活中看到这一点。艺术家保罗·克利和许多其他艺术家一样，在一生的大部分时间里都遭受了巨大的痛苦。作曲家约翰·塞巴斯蒂安·巴赫在9岁时就失去了双亲)”可推知，作者在第三段通过举例子来证明自己的观点。故选C。 3．Which of the following signs do creative kids probably exhibit? A．Lack of curiosity. B．High activity level. C．Distraction-free mode. D．Good adaptation skills. 解析　B　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“As children，creative people are often unable to sit still，unable to focus on their lessons，instead，always looking for something new and interesting to capture their attention.(作为孩子，有创造力的人往往不能安静地坐着，不能专注于他们的课程，相反，总是寻找新的和有趣的吸引他们的注意力的东西)”可知，有创造力的孩子可能会表现出活动水平高。故选B。 4．What is the author's purpose in writing the text? A．To reveal the secrets of brilliant inventions. B．To present the sufferings of artistic geniuses. C．To explore the characteristics of creative minds. D．To introduce the achievements of innovative scientists. 解析　C　推理判断题。根据最后一段“The search for the source of creativity continues.Most researchers agree that the answer will be complex and that there is probably no single characteristic which can explain the world's most creative minds.(对创造力源泉的探索仍在继续。大多数研究人员都认为，答案是复杂的，可能没有单一的特征可以解释世界上最有创造力的头脑)”结合文中主要就创造力的要求和特点进行了说明。由此推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是探索创造性思维的特点。故选C。 Ⅱ.语法填空 Once upon a time there lived a painter named Bill.He was a bit 1.

[解题导语]　一位油漆匠起初找不到跟花瓶颜色完全一样的颜色来漆一个老太太的房子，但最终想出了一个办法。 1．解析　smarter　考查形容词。根据“than any other painter around him”可知，这里是指这位油漆匠比他周围别的油漆匠都“更聪明”一些，故用其比较级。 2．解析　was shopping　考查时态。这里是指当她在购物的时候，故需用过去进行时。 3．解析　immediately　考查副词。此处需用副词修饰动词，故填immediate的副词形式。 4．解析　painted　考查非谓语动词。have sthdone意为“使……被做”，故填painted。 5．解析　but　考查连词。根据语境可知，这里是转折关系，故填but。 6．解析　to find　考查非谓语动词manage to do sth意为“成功做……”。 7．解析　satisfyingly　考查副词。此处需用副词修饰动词did，故填satisfying的副词形式。 8．解析　for　考查介词。look for sth意为“寻找……”。 9．解析　the　考查冠词。这里特指老太太买的那只花瓶，需用定冠词。 10．解析　was asked　考查时态和语态。Bill是这个动作的承受者，又因为这个动作发生在过去，需用一般过去式的被动语态，故填was asked。 Ⅲ.写作 第一节 假定你是李华，正在教你的英国朋友Leslie学习汉语。请你写封邮件告知下次上课的计划。内容包括： 1．时间和地点； 2．内容：学习唐诗； 3．课前准备：简要了解唐朝历史。 注意： 1.词数80左右； 2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 3．开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Leslie， I'm writing to inform you of our course schedule of our next class，which is about poetry of the Tang Dynasty.

Yours， Li Hua 第二节 (2025·浙江1月卷)阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Kevin was pretty bored.His mother was at work，and his father had been away on business.Therefore，he was left in the care of Mrs.Hill，an old lady who lived next door.His parents had raised the 12-year-old to be a good boy.He never got into trouble，though sometimes he wanted to do risky things.Mrs.Hill was asleep.Kevin sighed (叹息) and hoped something exciting would happen.Suddenly，a movement outside caught his eye. Mrs.Hill's front window faced Mr.and Mrs.Green's house across the street.The couple had both gone to work，so it was strange that someone was over there.Kevin stared at the man at their front door.Suddenly，the man jumped through an open window into the house.With his heart in his mouth，Kevin grabbed Mrs.Hill's home phone and called the police. Thinking that the man might get away with whatever he wanted before the police arrived，Kevin decided to do something.He rushed out of Mrs.Hill's house and crossed the street quickly.Grabbing a branch from a cut-down tree，he jumped in through the window.“Stop right there! You must leave right now！” he called out，holding the branch with both hands. The man froze for a second，but when he saw the skinny boy he breathed a sigh of relief.“Hey，kid，put that down.It was my home.My parents used to live here and my father's watch was here，” he explained，trying to lift a floorboard. At that moment，the sounds of a police car echoed (回响) in the air.The man stood up in a panic，then ran through the house toward the window and jumped out.Kevin followed out and told the arriving police officers what had happened.They pursued and arrested the man. Kevin went back to Mrs.Hill's house.Somehow he wasn't sure he had done the right thing.“What if he has told the truth？” he thought to himself.The man's words sounded pretty convincing. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 When Mr.and Mrs.Green got home，Kevin went to talk to them. Kevin and Mr.Green took the watch they had found to the police station. 【参考范文】 When Mr.and Mrs.Green got home，Kevin went to talk to them.He explained everything and the Greens listened carefully.No sooner had he finished the story than the Greens both expressed their surprise.Meanwhile，they gave Kevin credit(赞扬) for his bravery and courage.Then，they thoroughly checked the whole room to make sure if there was anything lost and lifted the board to search for the watch.Fortunately，everything was in order and to their astonishment，there was a watch lying silently under the floorboard，just as the man had described! Kevin and Mr.Green took the watch they had found to the police station.They showed the watch to the officer and mentioned again what the man had said.The officer confirmed that it matched the man's description and expressed that they would do further investigation.Kevin felt a huge surge of relief.The officer thanked them for their help and promised to keep them updated.As they left the station，Kevin thought to himself，“This time I did the right thing after all.”Mr.Green looked at him with a smile and patted him on the shoulder，saying，“You are truly a brave and warm-hearted boy，Kevin.” 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
