In traditional Chinese performing arts, there are many classic roles, like Sheng, Dan, Jing, Mo and Chou. Most people usually pay little attention to Chou. However, it is a very important part in traditional Chinese operas. The reason is that it joins beauty and ugliness together perfectly. In the past, the Chou performer was the first one to get dressed and have his make-up done.
Usually there are two kinds of Chou on the stage, Wen Chou and Wu Chou. Wen Chou often has a white patch (小块) painted around his nose and takes the roles of fisherman, boatman, servant and so on. The other kind is Wu Chou. Wu Chou performers often wear tight clothing (紧身衣) and move quickly. They are good at martial arts (武术) and can jump several meters high. They usually express themselves in loud voices and play humorous roles, for example, kind thieves.
Chou performers often make people laugh by their spoken parts and body language, instead of singing skills. Whether they look ugly or beautiful, whether the roles they play are officials or thieves on the stage, Chou roles are all humorous characters in funny faces. They use the roles of Chou to bring out the good qualities in people. Maybe it is the charm (魅力) of traditional Chinese operas.

The Role of Imagination in Art and Science
Imagination is often considered the heart of creativity. It is the ability to form new ideas, images, or concepts without direct input from the senses. Both artists and scientists rely heavily on imagination to make breakthroughs.
Artists use imagination to visualize scenes, colors, and emotions that they then translate into paintings, music, or literature. Without imagination, art would be merely a copy of reality, lacking the depth and personal expression that make it moving.
Scientists also depend on imagination. Albert Einstein once said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” He used thought experiments to imagine riding a beam of light, which led to his theory of relativity. Imagination allows scientists to think beyond what is known and to propose new theories and solutions.
Imagination is not limited to professionals. Everyone can benefit from using their imagination in daily life, from solving problems at work to planning a family vacation. It helps us see possibilities and overcome obstacles. As the writer of this passage points out, nurturing our imagination can lead to a more innovative and fulfilling life.
1.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Imagination is only useful for artists.
B.Imagination is essential for creativity in both art and science.
C.Scientists do not need imagination.
D.Imagination is less important than knowledge.
2.How do artists use imagination according to the passage?
A.To copy reality exactly.
B.To visualize and then create works with personal expression.
C.To avoid using colors.
D.To write scientific theories.
3.What did Albert Einstein say about imagination?
A.Imagination is a waste of time.
B.Imagination is more important than knowledge.
C.Imagination is only for children.
D.Imagination should be avoided in science.
4.What can imagination help us do in daily life?
A.Only to become artists.
B.To solve problems and plan activities.
C.To avoid all difficulties.
D.To ignore reality.

Should Children Be Allowed to Get Bored?
Children need time to stand and stare. They should be allowed to get bored to that they can develop their ability to be creative.
Children are expected by their parents to be reading a textbook all the time. However, research shows that it may hamper the development of their imagination, while boredom can give them opportunities to develop creativity.
Boredom is often linked with loneliness, but a writer named Meera Syal said boredom had helped here in developing her mind. She told researchers about her childhood. Having few things to do, Syal often talked with her neighbors. She also tried to do things like learning to bake cakes. “But importantly, I Thought and wrote a lot, because I was bored,” Syal said. She kept a diary, filling here time with short stories and poems she made up.
Grayson Perry, an artist, grew up in a family with little money. He enjoyed himself by making up stories, drawing pictures for his stories and reading many books in the library. Bored but free, he spent hours looking out of the window, watching the changing clouds and seasons. Perry filled up his free time with what he liked. He became creative, because he could think freely.
Dr. Belton is an expert on the effects of emotions on learning. “Boredom could be an uncomfortable feeling,” she said. “But some young people cannot deal with that boredom creatively. So sometimes they may break a classroom window, or drive a car out for a mad race.”
Usually, when children have nothing to do, they would turn on the TV, the computer, or the phone. Their time on these things has increased, yet they need to have time to think about their experiences through play or just watching the world around them.
It is this kind of thinking that can inspire the imagination. On the other hand, the TV or phone may cut short the thinking process. That can be harmful to the development of creativity. “For developing the ability to be creative,” Dr. Belton advised, “perhaps we need to stand and stare, and stay off-line from time to time.”
1.What does the word “hamper” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Slow down. B.Keep up with. C.Go beyond. D.Give rise to.
2.The writer talks about Syal and Perry to .
A.stress the great differences between them
B.introduce a popular writer and a famous artist
C.suggest good ways of going through boredom
D.show effects of boredom on developing creativity
3.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Boredom provides children with space to think freely.
B.It’s much better for children to be busy than be bored.
C.Boredom helps children deal with difficulties properly.
D.It’s boring for children to think about their experiences.

Linda always dreamed of having many great toys, but buying them all was almost impossible.
One afternoon, exploring behind her apartment building, Linda discovered something wonderful. An elderly woman was creating beautiful playthings using thrown-away materials and natural objects. She built a tower from parts of cardboard boxes, and a tiny house with sticks, leaves, and stones.
“How do you make such wonderful toys without buying anything?” Linda asked, amazed.
“The best toys aren’t bought in stores,” the woman smiled warmly. “They’re created with your own hands and imagination. Everything, even the things people throw away, can become something magical. You just need a little creativity.”
Inspired (受到启发), Linda began trying out some ideas at home. She found treasures everywhere. A shoe box became a toy theatre. Old socks turned into materials for fashion dolls and old magazines became their clothes. Plastic bottles were used to build rocket ships. Soon, Linda’s bedroom became a world of wonder. Each creation taught her something about design, engineering, and storytelling.
One day, Linda went to see her teacher, Mr. Thompson, with an idea. “What if we have a toy-making workshop where students can make their own toys for show-and-tell?” Mr. Thompson was uncertain. Linda then presented the toys she had made, showing him how well-designed and interesting they were.
Surprised by her creativity, Mr. Thompson decided to have an activity named “Invention and Innovation (创新) Week” to encourage students to make and show their creative works. Linda was excited and began to teach other students her toy-making skills.
During the week, something magical happened. The handmade toys fired everyone’s imagination in ways store toys never could, inspiring stories, games and plays. Some teachers even started to include creative toy-making in their lessons. A local newspaper reported on these young inventors. Other schools wanted to follow their creative practice.
The big success of the activity filled Linda with pride. She realised creativity can also be about finding possibilities in seemingly useless materials.
1.How did Linda feel when she saw the elderly woman making playthings?
A.Proud. B.Satisfied. C.Warm. D.Amazed.
2.What activity did Linda suggest to Mr. Thompson?
A.A fashion design show. B.A toy-making workshop.
C.A storytelling competition D.A second-hand magazine fair
3.What did Linda learn from her experience?
A.Teaching others helps us learn more quickly.
B.Friendship may develop from sharing stories.
C.Creativity can mean finding hidden possibilities.
D.Exploring nature leads to the discovery of beauty.

In traditional Chinese performing arts, there are many classic roles, like Sheng, Dan, Jing, Mo and Chou. Most people usually pay little attention to Chou. However, it is a very important part in traditional Chinese operas. The reason is that it joins beauty and ugliness together perfectly. In the past, the Chou performer was the first one to get dressed and have his make-up done.
Usually there are two kinds of Chou on the stage, Wen Chou and Wu Chou. Wen Chou often has a white patch (小块) painted around his nose and takes the roles of fisherman, boatman, servant and so on. The other kind is Wu Chou. Wu Chou performers often wear tight clothing (紧身衣) and move quickly. They are good at martial arts (武术) and can jump several meters high. They usually express themselves in loud voices and play humorous roles, for example, kind thieves.
Chou performers often make people laugh by their spoken parts and body language, instead of singing skills. Whether they look ugly or beautiful, whether the roles they play are officials or thieves on the stage, Chou roles are all humorous characters in funny faces. They use the roles of Chou to bring out the good qualities in people. Maybe it is the charm (魅力) of traditional Chinese operas.

The Role of Imagination in Art and Science
Imagination is often considered the heart of creativity. It is the ability to form new ideas, images, or concepts without direct input from the senses. Both artists and scientists rely heavily on imagination to make breakthroughs.
Artists use imagination to visualize scenes, colors, and emotions that they then translate into paintings, music, or literature. Without imagination, art would be merely a copy of reality, lacking the depth and personal expression that make it moving.
Scientists also depend on imagination. Albert Einstein once said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” He used thought experiments to imagine riding a beam of light, which led to his theory of relativity. Imagination allows scientists to think beyond what is known and to propose new theories and solutions.
Imagination is not limited to professionals. Everyone can benefit from using their imagination in daily life, from solving problems at work to planning a family vacation. It helps us see possibilities and overcome obstacles. As the writer of this passage points out, nurturing our imagination can lead to a more innovative and fulfilling life.
1.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Imagination is only useful for artists.
B.Imagination is essential for creativity in both art and science.
C.Scientists do not need imagination.
D.Imagination is less important than knowledge.
2.How do artists use imagination according to the passage?
A.To copy reality exactly.
B.To visualize and then create works with personal expression.
C.To avoid using colors.
D.To write scientific theories.
3.What did Albert Einstein say about imagination?
A.Imagination is a waste of time.
B.Imagination is more important than knowledge.
C.Imagination is only for children.
D.Imagination should be avoided in science.
4.What can imagination help us do in daily life?
A.Only to become artists.
B.To solve problems and plan activities.
C.To avoid all difficulties.
D.To ignore reality.
5.What does the underlined word “nurturing” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.忽视 B.培养 C.破坏 D.限制
【答案】1.B 2.B 3.B 4.B 5.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了想象力是创造力的核心,它在艺术创作与科学研究两大领域都起到至关重要的作用,同时想象力也能惠及普通人的日常生活。
【详解】1.文章第一段“Imagination is often considered the heart of creativity...Both artists and scientists rely heavily on imagination”,开篇点明想象力是创造力核心,后文分别论述艺术家、科学家都依靠想象力实现突破,对应B选项。
2.根据第二段“Artists use imagination to visualize scenes... lacking the depth and personal expression”可知,艺术家利用想象力可视化场景并创作出具有深度和个人表达的作品,而不是单纯复制现实。
3.第三段第二句“Albert Einstein once said, ‘Imagination is more important than knowledge.’”,直接明确写出爱因斯坦的原话是“想象力比知识更重要”。
4.根据最后一段第二句“Everyone can benefit from using their imagination in daily life, from solving problems at work to planning a family vacation”可知,想象力可以帮助解决工作中的问题和计划假期等活动。
5.根据画线词所在句“nurturing our imagination can lead to a more innovative and fulfilling life”,结合上下文语境可知此处为褒义,指“培养”想象力能带来更有创造力、充实的生活。

Should Children Be Allowed to Get Bored?
Children need time to stand and stare. They should be allowed to get bored to that they can develop their ability to be creative.
Children are expected by their parents to be reading a textbook all the time. However, research shows that it may hamper the development of their imagination, while boredom can give them opportunities to develop creativity.
Boredom is often linked with loneliness, but a writer named Meera Syal said boredom had helped here in developing her mind. She told researchers about her childhood. Having few things to do, Syal often talked with her neighbors. She also tried to do things like learning to bake cakes. “But importantly, I Thought and wrote a lot, because I was bored,” Syal said. She kept a diary, filling here time with short stories and poems she made up.
Grayson Perry, an artist, grew up in a family with little money. He enjoyed himself by making up stories, drawing pictures for his stories and reading many books in the library. Bored but free, he spent hours looking out of the window, watching the changing clouds and seasons. Perry filled up his free time with what he liked. He became creative, because he could think freely.
Dr. Belton is an expert on the effects of emotions on learning. “Boredom could be an uncomfortable feeling,” she said. “But some young people cannot deal with that boredom creatively. So sometimes they may break a classroom window, or drive a car out for a mad race.”
Usually, when children have nothing to do, they would turn on the TV, the computer, or the phone. Their time on these things has increased, yet they need to have time to think about their experiences through play or just watching the world around them.
It is this kind of thinking that can inspire the imagination. On the other hand, the TV or phone may cut short the thinking process. That can be harmful to the development of creativity. “For developing the ability to be creative,” Dr. Belton advised, “perhaps we need to stand and stare, and stay off-line from time to time.”
1.What does the word “hamper” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Slow down. B.Keep up with. C.Go beyond. D.Give rise to.
2.The writer talks about Syal and Perry to .
A.stress the great differences between them
B.introduce a popular writer and a famous artist
C.suggest good ways of going through boredom
D.show effects of boredom on developing creativity
3.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Boredom provides children with space to think freely.
B.It’s much better for children to be busy than be bored.
C.Boredom helps children deal with difficulties properly.
D.It’s boring for children to think about their experiences.
【答案】1.A 2.D 3.A
【分析】试题分析:本文介绍了孩子需要时间发呆,他们应该被允许感到无聊,那样他们才可以发展创造力。
【详解】1.A词义猜测题。根据第二段的However, research shows that it may hamper the development of their imagination, while boredom can give them opportunities to develop creativity.可知while前后进行对比,后半句表示无聊可以给他们开发创造的机会,也就是会促进他们的发展,故while前表示减慢他们的发展。故选A。
2.D推理判断题。根据第三段的Boredom is often linked with loneliness, but a writer named Meera Syal said boredom had helped here in developing her mind.和第四段的He became creative, because he could think freely.可知无聊在发展创造力方面的影响。故选D。
3.A主旨大意题。本文主要介绍无聊给孩子提供了自由思考的空间,故选A。

Linda always dreamed of having many great toys, but buying them all was almost impossible.
One afternoon, exploring behind her apartment building, Linda discovered something wonderful. An elderly woman was creating beautiful playthings using thrown-away materials and natural objects. She built a tower from parts of cardboard boxes, and a tiny house with sticks, leaves, and stones.
“How do you make such wonderful toys without buying anything?” Linda asked, amazed.
“The best toys aren’t bought in stores,” the woman smiled warmly. “They’re created with your own hands and imagination. Everything, even the things people throw away, can become something magical. You just need a little creativity.”
Inspired (受到启发), Linda began trying out some ideas at home. She found treasures everywhere. A shoe box became a toy theatre. Old socks turned into materials for fashion dolls and old magazines became their clothes. Plastic bottles were used to build rocket ships. Soon, Linda’s bedroom became a world of wonder. Each creation taught her something about design, engineering, and storytelling.
One day, Linda went to see her teacher, Mr. Thompson, with an idea. “What if we have a toy-making workshop where students can make their own toys for show-and-tell?” Mr. Thompson was uncertain. Linda then presented the toys she had made, showing him how well-designed and interesting they were.
Surprised by her creativity, Mr. Thompson decided to have an activity named “Invention and Innovation (创新) Week” to encourage students to make and show their creative works. Linda was excited and began to teach other students her toy-making skills.

Some teachers even started to include creative toy-making in their lessons. A local newspaper reported on these young inventors. Other schools wanted to follow their creative practice.
