篇章导读：本文是一篇议论文。创造力是天生的才华，还是后天也可以获得？本文就这 一话题展开了讨论。

1. to feel考查非谓语动词。我们感觉似乎某些人天生具有创造力。seem to do sth.“似乎 要做某事

2.it考查代词°创造力是天生的才华，还是后天也可以习得的？这里用it指代creativityo

3. be acquired考查被动语态。先行词something和acquire之间是被动关系，又因为情 态动词can后要用动词原形，故此空填be acquiredo

4. carefully考查词性转换。也许如果我们仔细分析创造的过程，我们就会洞察到什么 是创造力，它是如何在我们的生活中起作用的。这里用副词修饰动词analyze^

5. how考查特殊疑问词。此处表述创造力是如何在我们生活中起作用的。由语义可知 填 howo

6. imagining考查with的复合结构。每次重大的科学发现都以某个人以不同于其他人 的方式看待这个世界开始。此处为“with+宾语+宾语补足语”结构，宾语和宾补之间是逻辑 上的主谓关系，故此空填imaginingo

7. what考查名词性从句的连接词。创造力就是用一种新的方式想象世界。空格处引导 表语从句并在从句中作介词about的宾语，故填连接代词whato
