III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: There are 5 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by 4 questions or
unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should
decide on the best choice and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.
Questions 41 to 44 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 sense 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. If we believe the
expression, "There is nothing new under the sun," the creativity 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 create an unusual photograph.
A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas, 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.
41. The author holds that
A. creativity is of highly demand
B. creativity is connected with a deep insight to some extent
C. creativity is to create something new and concrete

42. "There is nothing new under the sun." (Par. 3) really implies that __
A. we can seldom create new things
