The book Writing Without Teachers introduced me to one distinction and one practice that has helped my writing processes greatly. The distinction is between the creative mind and the critical mind. While you need to employ both to get to a finished result, they cannot work in parallel no matter how much we might like to think so.Trying to criticize writing on the fly is possibly the single greatest barrier to writing that most of us meet with. If you are listening to that 5th grade English teacher correct your grammar while you are trying to seize a fleeting(稍纵即逝的) thought, the thought will die. If you capture the fleeting thought and simply share it with the world in raw form, no one is likely to understand. You must learn to create first and then criticize if you want to make writing the tool for thinking that it is.The practice that can help you pass your learned bad habits of trying to edit as you write is what Elbow calls “free writing”. In free writing, the objective is to get words down on paper non-stop, usually for 15-20 minutes. No stopping, no going back, no criticizing. The goal is to get the words flowing. As the words begin to flow, the ideas will come from the shadows and let themselves be captured on your notepad or your screen.Now you have raw materials that you can begin to work with using the critical mind that you've persuaded to sit on the side and watch quietly. Most likely, you will believe that this will take more time than you actually have and you will end up staring blankly at the pages as the deadline draws near.Instead of staring at a blank screen start filling it with words no matter how bad. Halfway through your available time, stop and rework your raw writing into something closer to finished product. Move back and forth until you run out of time and the final result will most likely be far better than your current practices.55. When the author says the creative mind and the critical mind “cannot work in parallel”(Line 4, Para. 1) in the writing process, he means ________.A. no one can be both creative and criticalB. they cannot be regarded as equally importantC. they are in constant conflict with each otherD. one cannot use them at the same time56. What is the chief objective of the first stage of writing?A. To organize one's thoughts logically.B. To choose an appropriate topic.C. To get one's ideas down.D. To collect raw materials.57. One common concern of writers about “free writing” is that ________.A. it overstresses the role of the creative mindB. it takes too much time to edit afterwardsC. it may bring about too much criticismD. it does not help them to think clearly58. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. It introduces the author’s writing method.B. It tells us something about the creative mind.C. It stresses the importance of critical mind.D. It shows the difficulties to write on the fly.C“Who questions much, shall learn much, and remember much．”---- Francis Bacon （1561-1626）It seems obvious now how we acquire knowledge and understanding．To start with, you need questions．Then, to find answers, you observe the world around you and study the facts．After that you consider possible answers and test each to find the right ones．Although today we are more accustomed to typing a few key words into a search engine and waiting for the Internet to spit the answer out for us, modern scientists and thinkers are still solving the world’s problems with this type of analysis---- luckily for us．However, in the 17th century when Francis Bacon suggested that this type of thinking was the way to gain knowledge, he was going against the views of the day．At that time, people believed more in religion than in facts, and people like Galileo Galilei, who proved scientific ideas such as “ the Earth is not the centre of the universe”, were often punished by the church with no one coming to their defence．The church and many people tended to ignore the facts and were unwilling to challenge that they had always comfortably believed．They preferred to make assumptions about the world based on the experience of others．In fact, when Galilei proved that the Earth was not the centre of the universe, instead of believing him, people chose to believe ancient views put forward by the great philosopher Aristotle （384-322BC）．This also shows how people didn’t want to search for their own understanding or educate themselves．And this is still often true today．People feel that if someone important and respected says that something is right, then it must be so．But even though Aristotle was a great man who inspired many great scientists and philosophers after him, he was wrong at times．And Galilei too made mistakes．He is now known as the father of astronomy but he believed that the earth moved round the sun in a perfect circle．He was wrong．Therefore our understanding of the world around us is constantly growing and changing．In other words, we learn more every day and none of us can ever sit back and say “We know it all．”We need to thank the great men of the past for the wisdom to know that we don’t know it all and probably never will, for that would mean a world without questions．So much of our knowledge and understanding of the world today is due to people like Bacon and Galilei, who were brave enough to step out from the shadows of old thoughts in order to find the kingdom of knowledge that today’s civilization is built upon．These men knew that knowledge and understanding are things to fight for; more vital to a man, and more beneficial to mankind, some might say, than all the money in the world．“All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them．”----Galileo Galilei （1564-1642）59．In Bacon and Galileo’s times, people would prefer to ________．A．learn new things by observing the world around themselvesB．acquire knowledge from church or experience of great ancestorsC．seek answers to their puzzles from contemporary scientistsD．explore knowledge out of facts they saw with their own eyes60．In this passage Bacon and Galileo are mentioned as examples for ________．A．their great achievements in scienceB．their ambition to doubt great ancestorsC．their revolutionary way of acquiring knowledgeD．their preference to believe in themselves rather than others61．What is the main purpose of the passage?A．To help the readers learn more about great thinkers in history．B．To convince the readers of the importance of thinking and discovering．C．To persuade the readers to thank the great men of the past for their wisdom．D．To encourage the readers to go against the views of their day．62．Which of the following is the process the writer suggests to acquire knowledge?A．asking questions→searching the Internet→ waiting the results→ finding answersB．acquiring knowledge and understanding→ asking questions→ answering questions C．observing the world→ asking questions→ studying facts→ finding answers→ considering possibilitiesD．asking questions→ observing the world→ studying facts→ considering possibilities→ testing and finding answersDAfter the U．S．House of Representatives passed a bill aimed at retaliatory（报复的）action against China for its “significantly undervalued” currency, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner urged the IMF to pressure China to adopt “more flexible, m ore market-directed exchange-rate management”．This is a coded message to China: You’re keeping on purpose your currency cheap, and the U．S．economy is paying the price．So cut it out --- or else．The normally dull IMF meeting became the latest battleground for the U．S．to be against a fast developing China．Our new conventional wisdom is that China’s policy leads to make trade deficits （逆差）greater and the loss of American jobs．Dozens of candidates have run ads attacking a competitor for allowing China to take advantage of us．In the election-year view, China grew 10% annually for the past decade while maintaining low inflation（通涨）only by taking advantage of its artificially low currency．The idea that the U．S．is not responsible for its own economy is a black-is-white view．It argues that China and its currency are causing the lion’s share of harm．This is an argument born of fear．It covers a fact that the economies of China and the U．S．have become beneficial to each other．Those trillions in reserves that China accumulates: Where do they go? Back to the U．S．in the form of lending money to the federal government．Those made-in-China goods that account for the trade deficit: Whom do they benefit? China, yes, but also American consumers and companies．Without China, American companies could not have maintained their profitability in recent years．Take two brand names, Caterpillar and Nike．Both have their products made in China, but both also view China as a fast-growing market for their products．George Soros warned recently that a currency war could put the world into disorder more damaging than anything caused by the financial crisis of the 1930s．He’s right．Whether we like it or not, we live in a global system．The zero-sum attitude toward China and its currency is a relic, the remaining of an earlier time when nations defined economic life．China is far from perfect and seeks its own advantage, but holding it accountable for our domestic problems is beyond outdated．It reflects a dangerous refusal to deal with the world as it is．Retaliating against China over currency will not regain high-end jobs in the U．S．, which needs more our own demand．It will not renew construction or retool the American labor force．It will not rebuild rotting bridges or create a next-generation energy network．63.Which of the following argument can be supported by the writer?A．China is the winner in the Sino-US trade．B．China’s rapid development over the past ten years is based on its low inflation．C．The world’s economy will benefit from China’s pol icy changes on its currency．D．The US will get hurt if it tries hard on damaging China’s economy．64. This passage is in a tone that is ____________．A．in favor of ChinaB．in the shoes of USC．blaming China’s low currency policyD．helping IMF solve th e world’s economic problem65. The writer makes his point of view clear through the passage by using _____________．A．reasonable analysis B．leaders’ quotationsC．figure examples D．moving stories66. China’s currency policy ________．A．will help increase the demand in the USB．is unable to equip the American labor force with new working skillsC．could guide the world economy for the next decadeD．is to be controlled by the international currency groupsEScientists are not sure how the brain follows the tracks of time．One theory holds that it has a group of cells specialized to record the intervals （间隔）of time, while another theory holds that some neural processes （神经突）act as an inside clock．Whichever theory it may be, studies find, the cells have a poor grasp of longer interval．Time does seem to slow during an empty afternoon and race when the brain focuses on challenging work．Stimulants （兴奋剂）, including caffeine, tend to make people feel as if．time is passing faster; complex jobs, like doing taxes, can seem to drag on longer than they actually do．And emotional events — a breakup, a promotion, a transformative trip abroad —tend to be sensed as more recent than they actually are, by months or even years．In short, some psychologists say, the findings support the philosopher Martin Heidegger' s observation that time "persists merely as a consequence of the events taking place in it．"Now researchers are finding that the opposite thing may also be true: if very few events come to mind, then the sense of time does not persist; the brain shortens the interval that has passed．In one classic experiment, a French explorer named Michel Siffre lived in a cave for two months, cut off from the rhythms of night and day and man-made clocks．He appeared then, convinced that he had been isolated for only 25 days．Left to its own devices, the brain tends to shorten time．In earlier work, researchers found that a similar case at work in people’s judgment ofintervals that last only moments．Relatively infrequent stimuli, like flashes or tones, tend to increase the speed of the brain' s internal pacemaker．On an obvious level, these kinds of findings offer an explanation for why other people' s children seem to grow up so much faster than one's own．Involved parents are all too well aware of first step in their own children; however, seeing a cousin's child once every few years, without bothering memories, shortens the time．67．What can we infer from the first paragraph?A．Scientists have agreed about how the brain records time．B．Scientists all think that some cells record the intervals of time．C．Scientists haven't agreed on how the brain records time．D．Scientists all hold the theory that neural processes are an inside clock．68．According．to Paragraph 3, if we have few things to do, the brain will____．A．make the intervals of time long B．make the intervals of time shortC．keep a state of rest D．stop working69．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．Michel Siffre didn' t think he had stayed in the cave for as long as two months．B．Parents tend to think their own children grow faster than others．C．Michel Siffre actually stayed in the cave for twenty-five days．D．Children usually bring bad memories to their parents．70．In which column of a newspaper can we find this passage?A．Social news B．Community activitiesC．．Science D．Children 's life第四部分：书面表达第一节：完成句子71.
