Many brilliant ideas come not from hard work all the time, but from a sudden “Eureka moment”. Last month, our school held a creative invention competition. My classmate Leo wanted to create something useful to solve daily problems, but he had no clear idea for days. He was not 1. with his empty draft and almost gave up.
One evening, Leo helped his mom 2. a basin with warm water to take a bath. When he stepped into the basin, some water 3. out onto the floor. At that moment, he suddenly thought of Archimedes’ principle he had learned in physics class. He realized that great ideas often come when people 4. and relax, not when they force themselves to think.
Leo loved raising small plants on his balcony. He found that many of his classmates’ potted plants dried up easily because no one could water them on schooldays. This small pain in life gave him a 5. new idea. He decided to make an automatic watering tool for potted plants.
He did not 6. believe he could make it perfectly at first. To avoid being 7. by his own careless mistakes, he started to brainstorm every possible design. He tried different materials and recorded how much water each material could 8. or let pass slowly. He kept a balanced schedule of study and invention practice, so he would not feel tired.
After a week of tries, he finished his small invention. It looked simple but 9. . He put a thin cotton rope into a water bottle and connected it to the plant soil. The rope could slowly carry water to the soil day by day. No water would be wasted, and plants would never dry up.
On the competition day, Leo walked 10. to the stage and showed his invention. Many teachers and students were surprised at his creative design. Some students asked tricky questions, but Leo explained his design clearly and successfully 11. his ideas across to all the listeners.
Finally, his small invention won the third prize in the school competition. Leo said the experience taught him a precious lesson. Negative thinking always stops us from creating new things. 12. , keeping an open mind and taking breaks properly can help us think outside the box.
Great ideas are not only 13. among famous scientists like Archimedes or Franklin. For ordinary students, small and thoughtful creations can also 14. our daily life. Every tiny brilliant idea has the power to change the world little by little. Isn’t that 15. amazing?

1. 【答案】A
【详解】句意:他对自己空白的草稿并不满意,几乎想要放弃。结合后半句“almost gave up(几乎放弃)”的消极语境,能看出他对毫无进展的草稿心存不满,本题考查Unit2核心固定短语be satisfied with(对……满意)。A. satisfied(满意的),贴合原文语境;B. strict(严格的),固定搭配为be strict with sb.,语义与搭配均不匹配;C. careful(仔细的),无法与with构成通顺句意;D. patient(耐心的),和原文消极失落的语境相悖。
2. 【答案】B
【详解】句意:一天晚上,利奥帮妈妈往盆里接温水用来洗澡。结合接水泡澡的生活场景,此处表达往盆中装水的含义,对应Unit2 Section1核心短语fill…with…(用……装满)。A. cover(覆盖),cover…with…意为“用某物覆盖”,不符合接水的场景;B. fill(填满),贴合固定搭配与生活语境;C. mix(混合),文中无液体混合的相关内容;D. fix(修理、固定),语义完全不符。
3. 【答案】A
【详解】句意:当他踏进盆里时,一些水溢到了地板上。本句贴合阿基米德泡澡顿悟的经典场景,语境表达水溢出的含义,适配单元高频短语run out(溢出、流出)。A. ran(流淌),run out为固定搭配,可表示水溢出,符合语境;B. took(拿走),take out意为“取出”,语义不符;C. put(放置),put out意为“扑灭”,与句意无关;D. got(得到),无对应搭配与语境。

二、阅读理解
A
Most people know Benjamin Franklin as a great writer and politician, but few know his brilliant scientific spirit. In the 18th century, lightning strikes often caused big fires and hurt people during thunderstorms. At that time, no one understood what lightning was. People feared it and thought it was a punishment from nature.
As a man who loved thinking outside the box, Franklin refused to believe this superstitious idea. He kept observing lightning and asked himself many questions. To find out the truth, he came up with a brave experiment. He used a silk kite, a hemp string and a metal key to do the famous kite experiment in a thunderstorm.
During the experiment, he felt a clear electric shock and proved that lightning was actually electricity in nature. This Eureka moment changed people’s understanding of lightning completely. Based on this discovery, Franklin invented the lightning rod. The simple but useful tool can take lightning into the ground and protect buildings from being damaged.
Franklin’s success did not come by chance. Unlike many people who only wait for good ideas, he kept brainstorming and never had negative thinking. He was always satisfied with small progress and kept trying. His great idea solved a big safety problem and has had a widespread influence on the whole world. Even today, lightning rods are still widely used in all kinds of buildings.

When we talk about great ideas changing the world, we usually think of modern inventions. But ancient Chinese ideas also have balanced and wise power that influences modern teenagers. Laozi’s thoughts in Daodejing are one of the most widespread ancient wisdom.
The central idea of Daodejing is “Dao”, which means the law of nature as a whole. Laozi taught that humans should respect nature and keep a balanced life. We should not try to control everything blindly or pursue too much. This old idea is still useful for teenagers’ modern life.
Many students nowadays have negative thinking when they face study pressure. They push themselves too hard, study all day without taking a break, and finally feel tired and hopeless. Laozi’s wisdom tells us a simple truth: going with nature helps us get a better state. Keeping a balanced lifestyle between study and rest can make our mind clearer and help us brainstorm better ideas.
One of Laozi’s most famous sayings is “The highest good is like water”. Water gives life to all things but never strives for fame. This saying gets the key message across: we should be modest and peaceful. Thus, we can keep a calm mind when we meet difficulties in study and life.

Many people believe that creativity is only for geniuses, but this is not true. Creativity is a skill that every student can develop with correct methods and patience. The most important rule of creative thinking is to think outside the box and refuse negative thinking.
In daily study, many students get used to fixed answers and fixed thinking styles. When they meet new problems, they always repeat old ways and fail to find new solutions. To change this situation, brainstorming is a perfect way. When you face a difficult task, try to list all possible ideas, no matter how fancy or strange they look. As a whole, more attempts mean more chances to get a Eureka moment.
Besides, keeping a balanced lifestyle is also necessary. If you study for hours without a break, your brain will be tired and slow. Taking a break can relax your mind and help you get new inspiration. Many student inventors in our school said their best ideas came when they walked outdoors or listened to music, not when they forced themselves to study.
Brilliant ideas are never born out of nowhere. They come from careful observation, active thinking and proper relaxation. Every teenager can become creative as long as they keep practicing.
1.What does the underlined phrase “think outside the box” mean?( )
A.Think in fixed ways. B. Think creatively.
C.Think very slowly. D. Think without thinking.
2.What is the disadvantage of fixed thinking?( )
A.It makes people creative. B. It helps solve new problems.
C.It stops people from new solutions. D. It brings more inspiration.
3.How can students get new inspiration according to the passage?( )
A.Study all day long. B. Keep a balanced lifestyle.
C. Refuse all strange ideas. D. Use old ways repeatedly.
4.What is the main idea of Reading C?( )
A. How teenagers can develop creativity.
B. Why people like negative thinking.
C. The history of great inventions.
D. How to get good grades in study.
【答案】1.B 2.C 3.B 4.A

Passage1
Archimedes was a famous ancient Greek physicist and mathematician. One day, King Hiero ordered a crown maker to create a fancy golden crown. The king was satisfied with the beautiful crown at first. However, he soon doubted if the crown was made completely of pure gold. He worried that the crown maker might fool him and mix other cheap metal into the gold.
To find out the truth, the king sent the crown to Archimedes. It was a difficult problem and Archimedes thought hard for days. One day, when he filled his bath with water and stepped in, lots of water ran over. This sudden Eureka moment helped him find the solving method.
He weighed the crown and prepared the same weight of pure gold. Then he put them into water separately. He found that the crown displaced more water than the pure gold.

Passage2
Creativity is a key skill for teenagers. It is not a gift for only a few people, but a skill that can be trained. According to the unit’s psychological knowledge, three ways can help us improve our creative thinking.
First, do brainstorming often. When you meet a problem, try to come up with as many ideas as possible, even strange ones. Don’t have negative thinking to refuse new ideas. Every idea can offer a new way to look at things.
Second, take a break when you are stuck. Many great ideas come when people relax. Archimedes’ discovery is the best example. A short rest can clear your mind and bring new inspiration.
Third, focus on one small thing at a time. Unclear big goals will make you stressed. Small and clear goals help you think outside the box easily.
If we keep practicing these ways, we can get more brilliant ideas to solve life and study problems, and make our life better.
根据语篇内容,回答下列问题。(不超过6个词)
1.Can people train their creativity?

One evening, Leo helped his mom 2. a basin with warm water to take a bath. When he stepped into the basin, some water 3. out onto the floor.

Most people know Benjamin Franklin as a great writer and politician, but few know his brilliant scientific spirit. In the 18th century, lightning strikes often caused big fires and hurt people during thunderstorms. At that time, no one understood what lightning was. People feared it and thought it was a punishment from nature.
As a man who loved thinking outside the box, Franklin refused to believe this superstitious idea. He kept observing lightning and asked himself many questions. To find out the truth, he came up with a brave experiment. He used a silk kite, a hemp string and a metal key to do the famous kite experiment in a thunderstorm.
During the experiment, he felt a clear electric shock and proved that lightning was actually electricity in nature. This Eureka moment changed people’s understanding of lightning completely. Based on this discovery, Franklin invented the lightning rod. The simple but useful tool can take lightning into the ground and protect buildings from being damaged.
Franklin’s success did not come by chance. Unlike many people who only wait for good ideas, he kept brainstorming and never had negative thinking. He was always satisfied with small progress and kept trying. His great idea solved a big safety problem and has had a widespread influence on the whole world. Even today, lightning rods are still widely used in all kinds of buildings.

When we talk about great ideas changing the world, we usually think of modern inventions. But ancient Chinese ideas also have balanced and wise power that influences modern teenagers. Laozi’s thoughts in Daodejing are one of the most widespread ancient wisdom.
The central idea of Daodejing is “Dao”, which means the law of nature as a whole. Laozi taught that humans should respect nature and keep a balanced life. We should not try to control everything blindly or pursue too much. This old idea is still useful for teenagers’ modern life.
Many students nowadays have negative thinking when they face study pressure. They push themselves too hard, study all day without taking a break, and finally feel tired and hopeless. Laozi’s wisdom tells us a simple truth: going with nature helps us get a better state. Keeping a balanced lifestyle between study and rest can make our mind clearer and help us brainstorm better ideas.
One of Laozi’s most famous sayings is “The highest good is like water”. Water gives life to all things but never strives for fame. This saying gets the key message across: we should be modest and peaceful. Thus, we can keep a calm mind when we meet difficulties in study and life.
Great ideas have no time limit. Ancient philosophical ideas are just as brilliant as modern scientific inventions. They teach us how to think, how to live and how to create new things bravely.

Many people believe that creativity is only for geniuses, but this is not true. Creativity is a skill that every student can develop with correct methods and patience. The most important rule of creative thinking is to think outside the box and refuse negative thinking.
In daily study, many students get used to fixed answers and fixed thinking styles. When they meet new problems, they always repeat old ways and fail to find new solutions. To change this situation, brainstorming is a perfect way. When you face a difficult task, try to list all possible ideas, no matter how fancy or strange they look. As a whole, more attempts mean more chances to get a Eureka moment.
Besides, keeping a balanced lifestyle is also necessary. If you study for hours without a break, your brain will be tired and slow. Taking a break can relax your mind and help you get new inspiration. Many student inventors in our school said their best ideas came when they walked outdoors or listened to music, not when they forced themselves to study.
Brilliant ideas are never born out of nowhere. They come from careful observation, active thinking and proper relaxation. Every teenager can become creative as long as they keep practicing.
1.What does the underlined phrase “think outside the box” mean?( )
A.Think in fixed ways. B. Think creatively.
C.Think very slowly. D. Think without thinking.
2.What is the disadvantage of fixed thinking?( )
A.It makes people creative. B. It helps solve new problems.
C.It stops people from new solutions. D. It brings more inspiration.
3.How can students get new inspiration according to the passage?( )
A.Study all day long. B. Keep a balanced lifestyle.
C. Refuse all strange ideas. D. Use old ways repeatedly.
4.What is the main idea of Reading C?( )
A. How teenagers can develop creativity.
B. Why people like negative thinking.

四、阅读回答问题
Passage1
Archimedes was a famous ancient Greek physicist and mathematician. One day, King Hiero ordered a crown maker to create a fancy golden crown. The king was satisfied with the beautiful crown at first. However, he soon doubted if the crown was made completely of pure gold. He worried that the crown maker might fool him and mix other cheap metal into the gold.
To find out the truth, the king sent the crown to Archimedes. It was a difficult problem and Archimedes thought hard for days. One day, when he filled his bath with water and stepped in, lots of water ran over. This sudden Eureka moment helped him find the solving method.
He weighed the crown and prepared the same weight of pure gold. Then he put them into water separately. He found that the crown displaced more water than the pure gold. This proved that the crown was not full of pure gold. The crown maker cheated the king and was finally sent to prison. Archimedes’ brilliant idea solved the king’s hard problem successfully.

1.What was Archimedes?
2.Why did the king doubt the crown?
3.What helped Archimedes get his Eureka moment?
4.What did Archimedes prepare for his test?

Passage2
Creativity is a key skill for teenagers. It is not a gift for only a few people, but a skill that can be trained. According to the unit’s psychological knowledge, three ways can help us improve our creative thinking.
First, do brainstorming often. When you meet a problem, try to come up with as many ideas as possible, even strange ones. Don’t have negative thinking to refuse new ideas. Every idea can offer a new way to look at things.
Second, take a break when you are stuck. Many great ideas come when people relax. Archimedes’ discovery is the best example. A short rest can clear your mind and bring new inspiration.
Third, focus on one small thing at a time. Unclear big goals will make you stressed. Small and clear goals help you think outside the box easily.
If we keep practicing these ways, we can get more brilliant ideas to solve life and study problems, and make our life better.
根据语篇内容,回答下列问题。(不超过6个词)
1.Can people train their creativity?
2.What should we avoid when brainstorming?
3.Why should we take a break when stuck?
4.What kind of goals help creative thinking?
5.What is the main idea of the passage?
