Passage One
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:
According to the dictionary definition of “create”, ordinary people are
creative every day. To create means “to bring into being, to cause to
exist”—something each of us does daily.
We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way.
First this involves an awareness of our surroundings. It means using all of our
sese to become aware of our world. This may be as simple as being aware of color
and texture, as well as taste, when we plan a meal. Above all, it is the ability
to notice things that others might miss.
A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among
things. I f we believe the expression, “There is nothing new under the sun,” the
creativ ity is remaking or recombining the old in new ways. For example, we
might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to
arrange our furniture, or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and
filters to cr eate an unusual photograph.
A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new
ide as, to apply them to achieve some new results. To think up a new concept is
one thing; to put the idea to work is another.
These three parts of creativity are involved in all the great works of
genius, but they are also involved in many of our day to day activities.

Passage Two
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:
It is simple enough to say that since books have classes fiction,
biography, poetry—we should separate them and take from each what it is right
that each should give us. Yet few people ask from books what books can give us.
Most commonly we come to books with blurred and divided minds, asking of fiction
that it shall be true, of poetry that it shall be false, of biography that it
shall be flattering, of history that it shall enforce our own prejudices. If we
could banish all such preconception when we read, that would be an admirable
beginning. Do not dictate to your author; try to become him. Be his fellow
worker and accomplice(同谋). If you hang back, and reserve and criticize at first,
you are preventing yourself from getting the fullest possible value from what
you read. But if you open your mind as widely as possible, then signs and hints
of almost imperceptible finess(委婉之处), from the twist and turn of the first
sentences, will bring you into the presence of a human being unlike any other.
Steep yourself in this, acquaint yourself with this, and soon you will find that
your author is giving you, or attempting to give you, something far more
definite. The thirty two chapters of anovel—if we consider how to read a novel
first—are an attempt to make something as formed and controlled as a building
but words are more impalpable than bricks, reading is a longer and more
complicated process than seeing. Perhaps the quickest way to understand the
elements of what a novelist is doing is not to read, but to write; to make your
own experiment with the dangers and difficulties of words. Recall, then, some
event that has left a distinct impression on you—how at the corner of the
street, perhaps, you passed two people talking. A tree shook; an electric light
danced; the tone of the talk was comic, but also tragic; a whole vision, an
entire conception, seemed contained in that moment.
21.What does the author mean by saying “Yet few people ask from books what
books can give us.”?
A.The author means that lots of people read few books.
B.The author thinks that readers have only absorbed part of knowledge in
books.
C.The author holds that few people have a proper idea about what content
some kind of books should include.
D.The author considers that readers can scarcely understand most of the
books.
22.According to the passage, which of the following statement is right?
A.A reader should find some mistakes when he is reading.
B.The more difficult a book is, the more you can get from it.
C.To read something is easier than to watch something.
D.One should be in the same track with the writer when he is reading.
23.What is the possible meaning of “impalpable” (Paragraph 2) in the
passage?
A.Clear. B.Elusive. C.Delicate. D.Precise.
24.What’s the main idea of this passage?
A.The importance of reading. B.The proper way to read.
C.How to get most from one book. D.The characters of a good book.
25.When a writer is writing he often get the whole conception ____.
A.after a long time’s thinking
B.through an instant inspiration
C.according to his own experience
D.by way of watching the objects attentively
