They are 50 .Everyone has imagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to 51 it. Creativity isn’t always 52 with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time 53 think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind! Here are three techniques to help you. ‎ Making connections This technique involves taking 54 ideas and trying to find links between them. First, think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image, word, idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all the idea/words 55 with candles: light, fire, matches, wax, night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the 56 to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to but a friend an original 57 ; you could buy him tickets to match or take him out for the night. ‎ NO limits! Imagine that normal limitations don’t 58 . You have as much time/space/money, etc. as you want. Think about your goal and the new 59 .If your goal is to learn to ski, 60 , you can now practise skiing every day of your life （because you have the time and the money）. Now 61 this to reality. Maybe you can practise skiing ever day in December, or every Monday in January. ‎ Be someone else! Look at the situation from a 62 point of view. Good businessmen use this technique in trade, and so do writes. Fiction writers often imagine they are the ‎63 in their books. They ask question: What does this character want? Why can’t she get it? What changes must she make to get what she wants? If your goal involves other people, put yourself in their 64 . The best fishermen think like fish! ‎ ‎50.

As a result, all students must 36 sixty hours of service learning, 37 they will not receive a diploma. Service learning is academic learning that also helps the community. 38 of service learning include cleaning up a polluted river, working in a soup kitchen, or tutoring a student. ‎39 a service experience, students must keep a journal（日志）and then write a 40 about what they have learned.‎ Supporters claim that there are many 41 of service learning. Perhaps most importantly, students are forced to think 42 their own interests and become 43 of the needs of others. Students are also able to learn real-life skills that 44 responsibility, problem-solving, and working as part of a team. 45 , students can explore possible careers 46 service learning.‎ For example, if a student wonders what teaching is like, he or she can choose to work in an elementary school classroom a few afternoons each month. 47 there are many benefits, opponents （反对者） 48 problems with the new requirement. First, they 49 that the main reason students go to school is to learn core subjects and skills. Because service learning is time-consuming, students spend 50 time studying the core subjects. Second, they believe that forcing students to work without 51 goes against the law. By requiring service, the school takes away an individual's freedom to choose.‎ In my view, service learning is a great way to 52 to the community, learn new skills, and explore different careers. 53 , I don' t believe you should force people to help others – the 54 to help must come from the heart. I think the best 55 is one that gives students choices: a student should be able to choose sixty hours of independent study or sixty hours of service. Choice encourages both freedom and responsibility, and as young adults, we must learn to handle both wisely.‎ ‎36. A. spend B. gain C .complete D. save ‎37. A. and B. or C. but D. for ‎38. A.

I knew this would be a 38 , but I didn’t realize how much until classes began.‎ I got on well with the other girls who lived in my dorm. 39 , instead of finishing my homework 40 it was due, I went upstairs and had ice cream with my neighbor. I always finished it the next day between classes. I knew 41 wasn’t very good and the grade I 42 showed my lack of effort.‎ I was 43 that I needed to find some sort of balance.‎ So I created a schedule that would 44 my time up between going to class, doing homework, and relaxing. It seemed like a good idea, 45 I was only able to 46 it for a few days. A schedule like that was too much pressure.‎ So I tried another 47.

That’s why in 1934, Germany was the 36 place to be a Jew. When Hitler’s teenage gangs 37 his village, the little 38 boy, Heinz, was just 11 years old.‎ ‎ Every day Heinz’s parents taught their 39 how important it was to learn 40 . When the Nazi gangs terrorized their village on the streets daily, Heinz’s parents knew that just one moment of losing control of their 41 against their rulers could 42 the death of the family. So Heinz learned to stay out of their 43 , sometimes crossing the street or taking a 44 road home.‎ ‎ But one day, young Heinz was finally 45 by one of Hitler’s bullies(暴徒). For the first time, Heinz was 46 to talk to a Nazi youth. But by staying calm and 47 choosing his words, Heinz surprised himself when he 48 his way out of trouble and 49 this bully not to hurt him 50 to let him go. That day, Heinz discovered his survival skill of talking and 51 with others. It was a major 52 point that changed his life---and later changed the world.‎ ‎ After a few years, Heinz’s family escaped from Germany and moved to America. But Heinz never forgot how to talk with people and help bring 53 between enemies. You see, that 11-year-old boy who had 54 his first peace settlement with a Nazi bully, later became one of the greatest ambassadors of peace in the world. You’ve probably heard of him- not as Heinz- but by his American name: Henry Kissinger, the 55 US Secretary of State.‎ ‎36．A．usual B．wrong C．appealing D．ideal ‎37．A．seized B．destroyed C．abandoned D．burnt ‎38．A．American B．Italian C．Jewish D．British ‎39．A．students B．friends C．sons D．children ‎40．A．self-control B．self-protection C．self-respect D．self-defense ‎41．A．anxiety B．emotions C．anger D．terror ‎42．A．show B．cost C．claim D．mean ‎43．A．road B．way C．route D．path ‎44．A．rough B．difficult C．different D．short ‎45．A．surrounded B．cornered C．beaten D．chased ‎46．A．called B．urged C．forced D．asked ‎47．A．carefully B．specially C．repeatedly D．particularly ‎48．A．pushed B．felt C．talked D．fought ‎49．A．allowed B．convinced C．forbade D．promised ‎50．A．however B．though C．but D．and ‎51．A．reasoning B．quarrelling C．debating D．discussing ‎52．A．rising B．starting C．falling D．turning ‎53．A．peace B．friendship C．trust D．harmony ‎54．A．confirmed B．acknowledged C．negotiated D．managed ‎55．A．latter B．present C．formal D．former 答案 36.B 37.A 38.C 39.D 40.A 41.C 42.D 43.B 44.C 45.B 46.C 47.A 48.C 49.B 50.C 51.A 52.D 53.A 54.C 55.D Passage 3‎ ‎(安徽师大附中2009届高三第二次模拟考试)‎ Signs can sometimes be seen at the entrance of a house, expressing that a tramp has passed. This special sign-language is frequently 36 by tramps to inform their 37 whether the host of a certain house is friendly or unfriendly, and to 38 them the trouble of making unnecessary calls.‎ ‎ Quite 39 one day, I came across a real tramp. He was such a rare sight these days that I stood some distance away and watched him. He was dressed just as a tramp should be 40 , old worn trousers, and a jacket many sizes too big for him. On his head there was a battered old hat and his boots were so old and worn; they were almost coming into 41 . But the man himself looked cheerful as if he had not a ‎42 in the world. He rubbed his nose with his forefinger, ‎43 a funny turn, laid a small parcel by the front gate, and began ‎44 a sign made by a former caller. Although the sign was meaningless to me, it must have been 45 , for the tramp’s face lit up with 46 . He entered the front gate confidently and rang the bell. When the door opened, I saw him 47 his hat but couldn’t hear his words. The 48 was very short indeed, for no sooner had he spoken a few words than the door closed fiercely in his face. I felt 49 for him as he walked 50 out of the house, But just as quickly, his face lit up again and he moved quickly towards the gate. There he stopped, looked at the sign, and 51 his head seriously as if he had made a bad mistake. 52 deeply into his pockets, he produced a piece of chalk, rubbed out the 53 sign and made a new one in its place. He stared at it for a moment smiling to himself, then gathered his 54 , pushed back his hat and began walking towards the next house at an unhurried 55 , whistling as he went along.‎ ‎ 36.
