【答案】4.B5.A6.C7.D

【解析】

【導話】本文是一篇記敘文。講述的是剛搬到新家的Taro受到種族歧視，被人投訴，他不卑不亢爭取自己

權利的故事。

[4題詳解]

細節(jié)理解題。根據第二段""We'llcomerighttothepoint,"atallred-headedmansaidwithoutbotheringtosit

down.（“我們會直奔主題，”一個高大的紅頭發(fā)男人說，連坐都懶得坐下來。）”和第三段“There'vebeen

somecomplaintsfromtheneighborhoodabouthavingJapaneseonthisblock（社區(qū)有一些關于這個街區(qū)有日本

人的投訴）”可知，Taro家遭到了周圍鄰居的投訴，所以這些人來到他家就是告訴他，這里不歡迎他們

家。故選B項。

[5題詳解]

推理判斷題。根據第四段uTarocaughthisbreath."Isee.Canyoutellmewhoitwasthatcomplained?^^（Tora

屏住了呼吸?！拔颐靼琢恕Ｄ隳芨嬖V我投訴的是誰嗎？"）”和第九段“Tarodarednotstopbeforehe

finishedallhewantedtosay:"Ishouldliketomeetthoseneighborswhoobjecttous,“hesaid.Isitanyofyou

gentlemen?”（Tora不敢停下腳步，他想說完：“我想見見那些反對我們的鄰居，”他說?！笆悄銈儺斨械?/p>

先生嗎？"）“以及倒數第二段“Thenpleaseinvitethemtocometalktome.Iftheycantellmewhywearen't

desirableorwhywedonotdeservetheirrespect,Ishallconsidertheirrequest.IamtheownerofTakedaDry

GoodsandGrocersonSeventhStreetandIwouldbehappytohavethemvisitmyshopasweH.（“那么請他們來

和我談談。如果他們能告訴我為什么我們不受歡迎,或者為什么我們不值得他們的尊重，我會考慮他們的

要求。我是第七街武田干貨和雜貨店的老板，我也很樂意讓他們光顧我的商店。）”中Tora對這些來訪者

友好而又不卑不亢的發(fā)問，可以看出，Tora是一個勇敢的維護自己權利的人。故選A項。

[6題詳解]

詞句猜測題。根據劃線詞匯所在的句子“"Thenpleaseinvitethemtocometalktome.Iftheycantellmewhy

wearen'tdesirableorwhywedonotdeservetheirrespect,Ishallconsidertheirrequest.（“那么請他們來和我談

談。如果他們能告訴我為什么我們不desirable,或者為什么我們不值得他們的尊重，我會考慮他們的要

求?！埃敝械膐r可知，前后兩句話的內容相近，or后面的句子意為“我們?yōu)槭裁床恢档盟麄兊淖鹁础?

再結合選項可以猜測，該單詞的意思是“受歡迎的、被認同的"。故選C項。

【7題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據第三段“"There'vebeensomecomplaintsfromtheneighborhoodabouthavingJapaneseon

thisblock（社區(qū)有一些關于這個街區(qū)有日本人的投訴）”以及倒數第五段Tora所說的“MywifeandIlooked

many,manymonthstofindahomewherewemightraiseourdaughter.Whentheownersaidtherewouldbeno

objectiontoourmovinginhere,wetrustedhim.Itwaslikeadreamcometrueforus.Wehavealreadyspentmuch

timeandmoneytomakethishouseourhome.Andnow,youwouldaskustoleave?（我和妻子找了好幾個月才找

到一個可以撫養(yǎng)女兒的家。當業(yè)主說不反對我們搬進來時，我們信任他。對我們來說，這就像夢想成真。

我們已經花了很多時間和金錢來讓這所房子成為我們的家?，F在，你會要求我們離開嗎？）”可知，Tora

搬到一個新的地方，受到了種族歧視，鄰居投訴有日本人在周圍，找房子的時候，還要考慮是否允許，在

找到房子之后，又有人出來想趕走他們，這些都反映出來的是種族歧視的社會問題。故選D項。

【笞案】8.B9.A10.D11.C

【解析】

【導諾】這是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了人111普遍認為創(chuàng)造力是一種天喊其實是一種誤解，科學家臉證

了創(chuàng)造力是與人的辛苦付出分不開的。只要人II］愿意付出限辛努力，創(chuàng)造力是可以掌握的。

【8題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據文章第四段uMostpeoplebelievecreativityhasbeenawardedtothoseperceivedtohave

specialtalent.Welookuponthese"creativegeniuses,"asweoftencallthem,withaweandabitofenvy,andmost

peopleassumethey'rebomwiththegoodgenes,or,asifinGreekmythology,acquirefromsomekindofdivine

inspiration."（大多數人認為，創(chuàng)造力是授予那些被認為有特殊才能的人的。我力帶著敬畏和些許嫉妒看

持這些我I"通常稱之為“創(chuàng)造性天才”的人。大多數人認為，他01的能力來自于良好的基因，或者，就像

希臘神話中那樣，來自于某種神圣的靈感。）可知，人們普遍認為，創(chuàng)造力來自與生俱來的基因或相關的

天鼠。改選B項。

【9題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據第五段中“Itcouldbesaidthatwithoutcreativityhumanitywouldnotevolvesorapidly.M

（可以說，沒有創(chuàng)造力，人類不會進化得如此之快。）可知，有創(chuàng)造力的人加速了人類的進化。改選A

項。

【10題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據例數第二段uButlikeapubliclyrecognizedcreativebaseballplayerwhosharpenshisskill

throughyearsofcontinuoustraining,givingupotherpursuitsforthesolepassion,peoplewhoshowtheslightest

reluctanceforarduouslaborareboundtowitnesstheirboastedabilitydisappear.n（但是,就像一個公認的有創(chuàng)

造力的棒球運旗員，他通過多年的不斷訓練提高了自己的技能，放棄了其他的追求，只為了一抻激情，那

些對艱苦的勞就表現出畛皇不情愿的人，注定會看到他們自夸的能力消失。）可知，正是因為對自己的目

標不斷的追求，棒球運動員不斷訓練提高了自己的技能。而那些對艱苦的勞動表現出畛毫不情愿的人，注

定會看到他ill自夸的能力消失，即創(chuàng)造力的消失。由此可知，創(chuàng)造力的消失是因為人們不愿意努力。放選

Do

【11題詳解】

主旨大意題。通過閱讀文章可知，文章第二段內容“Accordingtosomescientists,whoforthepast20years

haveputtheelusivesubjectofcreativitythroughtherigorsofresearch,youareunderestimatingyourself.DaVinci

youmayneverbe,butwhenitcomestocreativity,weareallsomewhatblessed.（根據一些科學家的說法，在過

去的20年里，他們把創(chuàng)造力這個難以捉摸的課題通過了嚴格的研究，你低估了自己。你也許永遠不會成

為達?芬奇，但說到創(chuàng)意,我們都多少有點福氣。）”根據文章第四段uMostpeoplebelievecreativityhas

beenawardedtothoseperceivedtohavespecialtalent.Welookuponthese''creativegeniuses,5,asweoftencall

them,withaweandabitofenvy,andmostpeopleassumethey,rebornwiththegoodgenes,or,asifinGreek

mythology,acquirefromsomekindofdivineinspiration."（大多數人認為，創(chuàng)造力是授予那些被認為有特殊

才能的人的。我們帶著敬畏和些許嫉妒看待這些我們通常稱之為“創(chuàng)造性天才”的人。大多數人認為，他

們的能力來自于良好的基因，或者，就像希臘神話中那樣，來自于某種神圣的靈感。）根據最后一段

uCsikszentmihalyiconcludesthatnoonewouldignorethesweattheyshedandtheiralmostinsanewillingnessto

followtheircreativeendeavortotheveryend,whereverthatmaybe.Thesearetheverythingsweallcanmaster,

solongaswe'dliketo."（Csikszentmihalyi總結說，沒有人會忽視他們所流下的汗水，以及他們近乎瘋狂

的意愿，去追隨他們創(chuàng)造性的努力，直到最后，無論那是在哪里。這些正是我們都可以掌握的東西，只要

我們愿意。）由此可知，本文主要是關于人II〕對創(chuàng)造力的誤解及其本質。故選CIS。
