Two Minds, Two Stories
When we think of great inventors, two names often come to mind: Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla. Both were brilliant, but their approaches to creativity were very different.
Edison is known for his practical inventions, such as the light bulb and the phonograph. He believed in hard work and teamwork. He once said, "Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration(汗水)." Edison had a large team of assistants and tested thousands of materials before finding the right one for the light bulb filament. His method was trial and error — keep trying until something works.
Tesla, on the other hand, was a dreamer. He imagined his inventions in complete detail before building them. He is known for his work on alternating current (AC) electricity, which powers most of our homes today. Tesla preferred to work alone and often spent hours visualizing(想象) his ideas in his mind. He believed that a clear mental picture was more important than physical testing.
Despite their differences, both men changed the world. Edison's approach shows us the value of persistence and teamwork. Tesla's approach reminds us that imagination and vision are also powerful tools. Perhaps the best way to be creative is to combine both — use your imagination to dream, and use hard work to make those dreams come true.
26. According to the passage, how did Edison and Tesla differ?
A. One was American and the other was European.
B. One worked in the 19th century and the other in the 20th.
C. One focused on practical testing and the other on mental imagining.
D. One invented the light bulb and the other invented the radio.
27. What does Edison's famous quote "Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration" suggest?
A. Inspiration is more important than hard work.
B. Hard work is more important than inspiration.
C. Geniuses do not need to work hard.
D. Perspiration is a waste of time.
28. How did Tesla often develop his inventions?
A. By testing thousands of materials.
B. By working with a large team.
C. By visualizing them in his mind first.
D. By copying Edison's work.
29. The word "visualizing" in the third paragraph most probably means ______.
A. drawing pictures
B. building models
C. forming mental images
D. writing descriptions
30. What is the writer's final suggestion about creativity?
A. Only Edison's method works.
B. Only Tesla's method works.
C. We should combine imagination with hard work.
D. We should choose one method and stick to it.
B
Small Ideas That Changed the World
When we think of great inventions, we often imagine complex machines or high technology. However, some of the most important inventions in human history are surprisingly simple. Here are three small ideas that had a huge impact.
The Wheel
The wheel was invented around 3500 BC. It may seem obvious today, but it was a revolutionary idea. Before the wheel, people had to carry heavy loads themselves or use animals. The wheel made transportation much easier and faster. It led to the development of carts, chariots, and eventually all modern vehicles.
Paper Money
Before paper money, people used coins made of gold, silver, or other metals. These were heavy and inconvenient to carry. The Chinese invented paper money during the Tang Dynasty(618-907 AD). It was light, easy to carry, and could be printed in different values. This idea changed the way business was done all over the world.
The Zipper
The zipper was patented in 1917 by Gideon Sundback. Before zippers, people used buttons and hooks to fasten clothing. Buttons took time, and hooks could be dangerous. The zipper was quick, safe, and convenient. It was soon used in clothing, bags, and shoes. Today, we can hardly imagine life without it.
These inventions remind us that creative ideas do not have to be complicated. Sometimes the most powerful ideas are the simplest ones. So keep your eyes open — the next great invention could be something very small.
31. When was the wheel invented?
A. Around 3500 BC. B. During the Tang Dynasty.
C. In 1917. D. Around 618 AD.
32. What problem did paper money solve?
A. It was too easy to make coins.
B. Coins were heavy and inconvenient.
C. People didn't like using metal.
D. Coins were not valuable enough.
33. What made the zipper better than buttons and hooks?
A. It was more expensive.
B. It was quicker, safer, and more convenient.
C. It was made of metal.
D. It was more beautiful.
34. The three inventions mentioned in the passage all have one thing in common: they are ______.
A. very complicated B. powered by electricity
C. surprisingly simple D. made of metal
35. What is the main message of the passage?
A. Only big inventions change the world.
B. Modern technology is better than old inventions.
C. Simple ideas can also have a great impact.
D. The wheel is the most important invention.

第六部分 任务型阅读(共10分,每小题2分)
阅读下面的短文,然后根据短文内容用完整的英语句子回答下列问题。
What Makes an Idea Creative?
We often admire creative people for their brilliant ideas. But have you ever wondered what makes an idea truly creative? Scientists have studied this question and found several key features.
First, a creative idea must be new. It cannot be something that everyone already knows or does. However, being new alone is not enough. The idea also needs to be useful. A truly creative idea solves a problem or makes life better in some way. For example, imagining a flying elephant is new, but it is not useful, so it is not considered creative in the same way.
Second, creative ideas often come from combining two or more existing things in a new way. This is called "combinatorial creativity." For instance, the smartphone combined a telephone, a camera, a music player, and a computer into one device. None of these parts were new, but the combination was revolutionary.
Third, creative ideas often require breaking rules. Many great inventors went against the common beliefs of their time. For a long time, people believed that humans could never fly. The Wright brothers challenged this belief and created the first airplane. They broke the "rule" that flight was impossible.
Finally, creative ideas often appear when we are relaxed or doing something unrelated. Many famous scientists and artists have reported getting their best ideas while taking a walk, taking a shower, or even dreaming. This is because our brain continues to work on problems even when we are not actively thinking about them.
Understanding these features can help us become more creative. Instead of waiting for a "flash of genius," we can actively practice combining ideas, challenging rules, and giving ourselves time to think.
51. What are the two key features that a creative idea must have?
52. What is "combinatorial creativity" according to the passage?
53. What example does the passage give to show that creative ideas often break rules?
54. According to the passage, when do many creative ideas appear?
55. What should we do to become more creative based on the passage?
