21、   Most people aren’t good at creative problem solving for two reasons: (1) They are not trained in how to be creative. (2) They don’t understand group strength well enough to harness (驾驭) their power to maximize group creativity.

A key element of creativity is applying existing knowledge to a new problem. The more people getting involved in solving it, the more knowledge there is to work on it. Unfortunately, research shows that the traditional brainstorming methods fail to achieve that goal. When groups get together to exchange ideas, they actually come up with fewer ideas overall than if they each had worked alone.

To fix this problem, you should consider the two stages of group problem-solving: divergence (分散) and convergence (集中). Divergence happens when the group considers as many different potential solutions as possible. Convergence happens when the various proposed solutions are evaluated and reduced to a smaller set of candidate solutions to the current problem.

The essential principle of group creativity is that individuals working alone diverge, whereas group members working together converge. In groups, once a member states a potential solution, that makes others think about the problem similarly. That is why groups working together diverge less than individuals working alone.

Therefore, be aware of when to diverge and when to converge. For example, early in the problem-solving process, have group members work alone to write down statements describing the problem. Then get them back to discuss their descriptions. The group discussion will lead everyone to accept one or a small number of these statements to work on — this is healthy convergence.

When starting to generate solutions, you again want divergence. Have people work alone to start. Then collect people’s initial ideas and send them around to others and allow the divergence to continue as everyone individually builds on the ideas of other members.

Finally, let the group discuss the resulting ideas. This discussion will gradually lead the group to converge on a small number of candidate solutions.

This simple method works effectively, because it respects what individuals and groups do best.

【1】According to Para. 4, when a member presents an idea, others tend to_____.

A.think the other way round

B.follow his way of thinking

C.be more confident in their own ideas

D.be less willing to share their own ideas

【2】What should group members first do early in the problem-solving process?

A.Discuss the problem.

B.Simplify the problem.

C.Put down group statements together.

D.Write down their individual descriptions.

【3】How can each group member make changes to his initial solution?

A.By adding in collected evidence.

B.By reorganizing his own words.

C.By drawing on others’ ideas.

D.By making his statement briefer.

【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

A.To advocate a way to make group thinking more effective.

B.To demonstrate the difficulty in organizing group thinking.

C.To highlight the differences between divergence and convergence.

D.To show the advantage of group thinking over individual thinking.

22、   Every year, the Young Adult Library Services Association chooses the best fictions for young adults. Recently, it listed this year's popular books for young adults. Let's look at three of them.

The Downstairs Girl

Seventeen-year-old Jo Kuan leads a double life. By day, she works as a maid for one of the wealthiest men in Atlanta, a city in the US state of Georgia. By night, she writes as “Dear Miss Sweetie”, a newspaper advice columnist. She addresses ideas about race and gender, and as her column grows more popular, so too does the anger of her critics.

The Bone House

This fascinating, historical horror novel by Emily Lloyd-Jones will “dig its way into the heart”, according to a review on Booklist. Seventeen-year-old Ryn only cares about two things: her family and their graveyard(墓地), both of which are in a very bad situation. After the death of her parents, Ryn and her siblings(兄弟姐妹)work as gravediggers in the village of Colbren—where the dead don't always stay dead. The rising dead are known as “bone houses”, but no one knows how to stop them and the curse that causes them to rise. When Ellis, a mysterious mapmaker, arrives in Colbren, he and Ryn go on a journey to not only face the curse but themselves as well.

The In finite Noise

Caleb Michaels lives a fairly regular life as a 16-year-old champion running back in this novel by Lauren Shippen. However, once Caleb starts experiencing wild mood swings, his life becomes much stranger. Caleb finds out he is an “Atypical”, a person with enhanced abilities. He can feel the emotions of everyone around him. Caleb's life becomes even more complex when he meets Adam. As Caleb regularly sees his therapist(治疗专家), Dr Bright, he learns more about himself, his feelings for Adam and his abilities in this science fiction novel.

【1】What is the best title for the text?

A．Books to lift us up

B．Share popular books

C．Inspirational teens

D．Teen fiction favorites

【2】Which book holds a mirror to the issues about race and gender?

A．The Downstairs Girl

B．Dear Miss Sweeties

C．The Bone Houses

D．The Infinite Noise

【3】What do the last two books have in common?

A．Being based on teenager's regular life.

B．Featuring the interaction between life and death.

C．Showing readers a world of adventure and magic.

D．Having supermen or superwomen characters.

23、   Sending children outside to play during the winter is one of the best things you can do for them. 【1】 It also gives parents a brief relief from the chaos.

【2】 Children between 12 months and 6 years of age should spend 60 and 90 minutes outdoors each day, children older than that should get an hour too, and babies should be taken out several times a day and exposed to the fresh outdoor air.

Successful winter play is closely tied to the way children are dressed. Unless outfitted properly, they will have a miserable time and ask to come back in within minutes of heading out. 【3】

Staying dry is crucial, so even if it’s not that cold out, put rain pants on a child to keep their legs dry and break the wind. Use boots that are high and waterproof. Choose heavy socks and a hat that are made of wool, as these take moisture away from a warm active body most effectively. Mittens(连指手套) are much warmer than gloves, and having a scarf or neck warmer makes a difference, too. 【4】 Make sure they have a good range of movement that allows them to play and keep active outside.

If you think it’s a lot of work getting them ready to go out, just wait till they come back in. 【5】 Everything has to be dry before the next outing. So don’t skip this step or you’ll have angry, cold children in a few hours’ time and a whole lot of regret on your part.

A．That’s when it gets really busy!

B．It gives them a space to consume energy.

C．Cotton does not do this and will leave feet feeling wet and cold.

D．Don’t overdress a child, though, because then they will get too sweaty.

E．National guidelines recommend lengths of outdoor exercise for children.

F．Don’t hesitate to cut the playtime short if your child is unhappy or cold outside.

G．It’s best to ensure they’re comfortable so they’ll stay out for a decent length of time.

24、If you put all the books you own on the street outside your house, you might expect them to disappear immediately. But one man, Hernando Guanlao in Manila, tried it and found that his collections grew.

He’s a lovely man in his early 60s, with one ever-lasting love—books. They’re his pride and joy, because, whether he likes it or not, they seem to be taking over his house. Guanlao has set up a “library” outside his home in central Manila. Readers can take as many books as they want, for as long as they want. As Guanlao says, “The only rule is that there are no rules.”

You might consider it would end very quickly. But in fact, in the 12 years he’s been running his library. He’s found that his collection has grown rather than become smaller, as more and more people help the activity. “It seems to me that the books are speaking to me,” he says with a smile, “The books are telling me they want to be read.”

Guanlao started his library in 2000, shortly after the death of his parents. He was looking for something to honor their memory, and that was when he hit upon the idea of promoting the reading habit passed on to him from his parents. So he put the books outside the door of his house to see if anyone wanted to borrow them. They did, and they brought the books back with others to add to the collection. The library was born. The library is not advertised, but somehow, every day, a steady stream of people find their way there.

To help the poorest communities in Manila, Guanlao doesn’t wait for them to find him on his “book bike”. He wants to set up a “book boat”, traveling around the islands of Sulu and Basilan. As we sat outside Hernando Guanlao’s house in the midday sun, watching people look through his collection, he thought it was worth spending all his time.

【1】The first paragraph shows that Guanlao ______.

A. was a successful man

【2】According to the passage, readers in Guanlao’s library ______.

A. can’t keep books very long

B. need to have a library card

C. can be free to read there

D. must help increase the collection

【3】What was beyond people’s expectation after the library was set up?

A. The library took over his house.

B. The library was Guanlao’s life center.

C. The library lasted a long time.

D. The library needed help from more people.

【4】What caused Guanlao to have the idea of setting up a library?

A. His good reading habit.

B. The death of his parents.

C. The joy of reading books.

D. Nothing to do in his daily life.

【5】What is the last paragraph mainly talking about?

A. Guanlao’s traveling around.

B. Guanlao’s daily activities.

C. Guanlao’s poor communities.

D. Guanlao’s efforts for his library.
