四、背诵范文
A Brilliant Idea from a Bathtub
Long ago in ancient Syracuse, King Hiero faced a tough problem. He ordered a fancy golden crown, yet he doubted the crown maker might fool him with cheap metal. Who could test the crown without breaking it?
Archimedes, a wise ancient Greek scientist, was asked to solve the puzzle. He kept thinking day and night until he filled his bathtub with water. When he stepped into the tub, water ran over the edge, and suddenly, a brilliant idea hit him.
A significant turning point was this bath moment. He went straight to the palace at once. He filled two pots with equal clean water, then put the same weight of pure gold and the crown into the pots separately. The crown displaced much more water, which proved it was mixed with other metal. What a clever way to find out the hidden truth! The dishonest maker was sent to prison soon.
The influence of this great idea can still be seen widely. As a whole, it brought us Archimedes' principle, which is applied in thousands of realworld objects like ships and life rings. It is considered to be one of the most valuable discoveries in physics. I truly admire Archimedes' habit of observing tiny daily details.

二、阅读理解。
In the 18th century, lightning was still a mysterious natural power for most people. They believed lightning was a sign of bad luck and dared not study it closely. Benjamin Franklin, a curious American scientist and inventor, refused to accept this old thought. He spent lots of his free time watching thunderstorms and kept wondering what lightning really was.
Franklin guessed lightning was a kind of electricity. To test his idea, he designed a dangerous kite experiment. On a rainy stormy afternoon, he took a silk kite, a hemp string and a metal key out to an open field. When dark clouds covered the sky and lightning flashed, he flew the kite high into the air. Soon, the hemp string got wet and carried electric energy down to the metal key. When Franklin touched the key, he felt a light electric shock, which fully proved his guess was correct.
This great discovery brought people the practical application—the lightning rod. The small tool can lead lightning safely down to the ground and stop tall buildings from catching fire during thunderstorms. At first, many people laughed at Franklin's crazy plan, but later cities all over the world widely used his invention.
Franklin's story tells us that great ideas never come easily. We should keep observing small natural details bravely and never reject new thoughts just because of ignorance. Only with curiosity and courage can we find amazing rules hidden in daily life.

A Brilliant Idea from a Bathtub
Long ago in ancient Syracuse, King Hiero faced a tough problem. He ordered a crown mater to make a fancy golden crown, yet he doubted the crown maker might fool him with cheap metal. Who could test the crown without breaking it?
Archimedes, a wise ancient Greek scientist, was asked to solve the puzzle. He kept thinking day and night until he filled his bathtub with water. When he stepped into the bath tub, water ran over the edge, and suddenly, a brilliant idea hit him.
A significant turning point was this bath moment. He went straight to the palace at once. He filled two pots with equal clean water, then put the same weight of pure gold and the crown into the pots separately. The crown displaced much more water, which proved it was mixed with other metal. What a clever way to find out the hidden truth! The dishonest maker was sent to prison soon.
The influence of this great idea can still be seen widely. As a whole, it brought us Archimedes' principle, which is applied in thousands of realworld objects like ships and life rings. It is considered to be one of the most valuable discoveries in physics. I truly admire Archimedes' habit of observing tiny daily details.

一、阅读理解。
Creativity is not a talent only for geniuses; it is a skill that everyone can train in daily life. Many great ideas in history, from Archimedes' water displacement rule to Franklin's lightning rod, were born from simple daily observations and proper thinking methods. Three practical ways can help us think outside the box and produce valuable ideas.
First, carry out free brainstorming. When you work with partners, never push away strange thoughts at the very beginning. We must avoid negative thinking such as “This idea is useless”. Wild ideas can offer new angles to solve problems we ignore before.
Second, take a break when your mind stops working. Our brains cannot stay sharp all the time. Relaxing activities like bathing or walking give us space to get unexpected inspiration. Archimedes' famous discovery of buoyancy came exactly when he stepped into a full bathtub and watched water run over.
Third, focus on one thing at a time. Mixed tasks will make you anxious and inhibit your thinking. You'd better divide big problems into small clear stTIF, so you can deal with them one by one without pressure.
As a whole, these three methods break our fixed thinking patterns. If we keep practising them, we will no longer reject new thoughts out of ignorance. Lots of our creative ideas will finally have wide longlasting applications to change our daily world.
( )1.What should we do first during brainstorming according to the passage?
A.Cut down all wild ideas at once.
B. Keep away from negative thinking.
C.Divide big tasks into small clear stTIF.
D.Go out for a walk to get inspiration.
( )2.What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A.People can only get creative ideas when taking a bath.
B.Working nonstop helps people find scientific rules quickly.
C.Short rest can clear our mind and bring sudden inspiration.
D.Archimedes found buoyancy when he was doing strict lab tests.
( )3.What does the underlined word “inhibit” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Stop.
B. Help.
C.Change.
D.Find.
( )4.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.The story of Archimedes' discovery of water displacement.
B.The wide longlasting applications of creative ideas in daily life.
C.Three useful ways to develop our creative thinking ability.
D.The balanced natural ideas from Laozi's great work Daodejing.
( )5.What is the writer's attitude towards training creativity?
A.Doubtful.
B. Uninterested.
C.Encouraging.
D.Strict and cold.
二、语法填空。
If you want to come up with great ideas, you need to train your creativity every day. When you work in groups, enjoy 1._______ (share) different thoughts with partners. It's important 2.________ (carry) out brainstorming first, and never reject ideas easily.
If you get stuck, going for a short walk 3.__ (be) a good way to relax your brain. Keep a notebook with you, 4._______ you may get sudden inspiration anytime. All new thoughts should 5.__________ (write) down in time so you won't forget them.

Thinking is something you choose to do, just as a fish choose to live in water. To be a human is to be always thinking. But thinking may come naturally without your knowing how you do it. Thinking about thinking is the key to critical thinking. When you think critically, you take control of your own ideas, or you might be controlled by others' ideas. Indeed, critical thinking is at the heart of education.
The word “critical” here has a special meaning. It doesn't mean taking one opinion against another, as when someone criticizes (批评) another person for doing something wrong. Critical thinking means looking further than what you simply see—not just TV images or newspaper news.
What are critical thinkers like?If you want to know about life and hope to dig deeper into life, you are a critical thinker. If you find pleasure in thinking deeply about different ideas, characters, and facts, you are a critical thinker.
Critical thinking is a deep and careful thinking. It takes time, and doesn't go with the fast speed in today's world. If you are among people who believe speed is a measure of intelligence, you may learn something new from a story about Albert Einstein. The first time Hoffman, a wellknown scientist, talked with Einstein about his work, he was too nervous to speak. But Einstein got him relaxed right away by saying, “Please go slowly. I don't understand things quickly.”
( )1.What will happen if we fail to think critically according to the passage?
A.It will be hard for us to think fast.
B.We will make mistakes easily.
C.We might be fooled by other people.
D.We might be controlled by others' ideas.
( )2.What's the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A.Don't believe in others.
B.Criticizing others is wrong.
C.What the word “critical” means.
D.The word “critical” is quite special.
( )3.What will a critical thinker do?
A.Think deeply about different ideas.
B.Believe the reports in newspapers.
C.Take one opinion against another.
D.Criticize other people for their mistakes.
( )4.What does the example of Einstein in the passage tell us?
A.Einstein thinks quickly.
B.Hoffman thinks slowly.
C.Speed can improve intelligence.
D.Intelligence is not decided by speed.
( )5.What can be the best title for the passage?
A.Critical Thinkers
B.Critical Thinking
C.Thinking Naturally
D.Thinking Fast

Mr Linden, a sixtyyearold American, is a man of many roles:a writer, a businessman, a traveller, an educator and the founder of a famous hotel. He has lived in a village in Yunnan Province for nearly 20 years. He now considers that he is one of the “cool new Dali people”.
Mr Linden was born and raised in Chicago. He first visited China in 1984. He received a scholarship(奖学金)from the Chinese government and came to study in Beijing. During his stay, he was deeply attracted by Chinese culture and would love to be its communicator.
After working and travelling in more than 100 countries, Mr Linden had a surprising idea. He gave up his job in the US, sold his house and moved to China with his family in 2004. He wanted to find a place and create a new lifestyle. After a tour around China, Mr Linden and his wife finally decided to live in Xizhou, a small town not far from Dali.
“I'm a fan of traditional Chinese buildings. Xizhou is a beautiful town with hundreds of old buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties. Traditions here remain as alive as ever and the local people treat me like family,” said Mr Linden.
With the help of the Dali government, Mr Linden transformed a traditional Baistyle(白族风格)house into a hotel for foreign tourists. The hotel provides international education projects for European and American schools. It also opens 50% of its room(空间)to the public, creating a place for more people to communicate with the villagers. It offers free English classes to villagers once a week.
When talking about his future plans, Mr Linden said he wanted to do more to share the beauty of China with the world. “Our goal is to turn Xizhou into a window for foreigners to learn about China,” said Mr Linden. “I hope that more people will love China through my efforts.”
( )1.What is Mr Linden NOT doing?
A.Writing.
B.Doing business.
C.Travelling.
D.Working on a farm.
( )2.What does the underlined word “communicator” mean in Paragraph 2?
A.Speaker.

D.In Nanjing.
( )4.Who helped Mr Linden transform a traditional Baistyle house into a hotel?
A.His friends.
B.Foreign tourists.
C.The local government.
D.American schools.

A great idea has transformed drones (无人机) from tools of war into instruments that perform important tasks to help people around the world.
Sending medical help to hardtoreach places has been a problem for years. In Rwanda, some small hospitals don't have enough medicine. As a result, many people die. A local company is trying to use drones to solve this problem. Drones can quickly provide healthcare service for the hospitals around Rwanda, and more people receive lifesaving medicine. Drones also help after natural disasters. In 2015, a heavy storm hit Vanuatu, leaving many people homeless. Drones took pictures for the rescue teams. This helped the teams judge the situation quickly and offer help to the areas that were hardest hit.
Drones are also helping environmental organizations. Every year, poachers (偷猎者) kill many endangered animals. To stop them, the WWF uses drones. “They help us see things that we can't,” says Colby, who works for the WWF. Drones can easily identify (识别) poachers in the dark. As well as finding poachers, these tools can be used to follow and protect animals. Scientists at a university plan to use them for a project:recording wildlife and identifying animal groups. The project leader believes drones will become widely used. “I think we will have plenty of drones flying over forests,” he predicts.
A tool made for war is now being used to save lives. “Drones can be good for both humans and animals. There's nothing that can take the place of a good scientist. But now, thanks to drones, scientists are able to finish projects that they've never imagined before,” says Kike, a man who cares about the environment.
( )1.What do drones do for the people in Rwanda?
A.They take clear pictures.
B.They help the homeless in time.
C.They send medicine fast.
D.They judge the situation carefully.
( )2.What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.The drones.
B.The poachers.
C.The animals.
D.The organizations.
( )3.What are drones mainly used for in Paragraph 3?
A.Starting a project.
B.Finding lost people.
C.Protecting animals.
D.Recording daily life.
( )4.What can we infer from Kike's words?
A.Wars have brought many problems.
B.New technologies need improvement.

Many great ideas come about when people face difficult social problems. One impressive great idea comes from Laozi, a wise thinker living in ancient China.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In the late Spring and Autumn Period, people suffered from frequent wars. Most people lived a restless and noisy life, and few knew how to get peace. It was Laozi who came up with a brilliant idea in his work Daodejing. He suggested that humans should respect the laws of nature and live a simple, peaceful and balanced life. Instead of fighting for endless desires, people are supposed to get along in harmony with everything around them.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
This ancient idea has had a longlasting influence. For more than 2,000 years, it has inspired generations both in China and abroad. Even in modern times, we still turn to his wisdom when we look for inner peace.
