Listening and SpeakingText AReading Comprehension1.Author’s definitionsCreativity is1) the process of having valuable ideas;2) a dynamic process of making new connections, crossing disciplines and using metaphors and analogies;3) about fresh thinking and making critical judgments.Gove’s opinions1) Possibly the same as myths.2) Learn the necessary skills before starting to be creative (a linear process). Myths1) Only special people are creative.2) Creativity is just about the arts.3) Creativity is all to do with uninhibited self-expression.Author’s opinionsCreativity:1) just as learning, is a highly personal process;2) is not a linear process, in which you must learn the skills before you get started;3) takes connoisseurship,judgment and creativity on the part of the teachers. Author’s suggestions1) Leave room for differences and not prescribe a standard for everyone.2) Don’t focus on skills in isolation.3) Feel free to innovate without fear of being punished.2.1) F2) F3) T4) T5) F6) T7) F8) TReading and Discussing3.For reference1) From Hans Zimmer’s story, we know that developing creativity needs the joint efforts of schools, teachers, and students. Schools should build a free environment and offer support for teachers and students to implement their ideas. Teachers should teach according to students’ aptitude and pay attention to students’ true needs. Students should figure out what their interests are and try to realize what they really want to do.2) I believe that creativity is not a state of being, but, rather, is a personal characteristic on a continuum from low to high. You can move your creativity up the scale by nurturing it. Furthermore, creative activity isn’t only the creation of art. Everyone who has ever found a solution to a problem has employed creativity. Most of the time, these efforts don’t require high levels of creativity. People high on the continuum of creativity have learned to take an active role in developing it by constantly finding out problems for further exploration. They routinely exercise their creativity. The key is that they keep working even when they feel that they will never find a solution. The true magic in creativity lies in the fact that the solutions do come.Language in Use4.1) genuine2) discipline3) facilitate4) talents5) motivate6) appetite7) dynamic8) acquires9) flourished10) ambition5.1) admitted to2) working on3) pass through4) thrown out5) end up6) do with6.a group of students (一群学生)a flock of sheep (一群羊)a ray of hope (一线希望)a bunch of flowers (一束花)a heap of earth (一堆泥土)a packet of cigarettes (一包烟)1) a body of2) a block of3) a chain of4) a ray of5) a gust of6) a mountain of7) a herd of8) a string of9) a bunch of10) a packet of7.1) adjective + noun-ed r osy-cheeked, good-tempered, warm-hearted2) adverb + verb-ed so-called, newly-built, well-known3) adjective + verb-ing long-standing, high-performing, funny-looking4) noun + adjective duty-free, snow-white, life-long5) adjective + noun part-time, first-class, mid-term6) noun + verb-ed hand-painted, self-centered, snow-covered7) noun + verb-ing time-consuming, world-shaking, English-speaking8) a + b + c hand-in-hand, heart-to-heart, three-year-old1) easy-going2) heart-broken3) self-confident4) poverty-stricken5) up-to-date6) narrow-minded7) long-distance8) well-educated8.Reference translation1) 我认为创造性是获得有价值的创意的过程。

DictationMy companions decided to hire horses and go up into the mountains but I thought I would rather walk around the lake. So we parted and I set off walking. I got about halfway around the lake when the night caught up with me and I needed a place to stay. At times there was no road and I had to walk in the water along the shore to avoid obstacles on the shore. Therefore by nighttime I was wet and hungry, not to speak of being exhausted.Not far, I noticed a few wooden houses on pillars above the water, connected with the shore by a long narrow wooden bridge. I walked over thebridge and soon a couple of people came out to greet me. They did not speak Chinese, therefore there was no other way of communicating than with signs and friendly nods, which worked just fine. I forget to which ethnic group these people belonged but they were kind and friendly. I sat down inside of a dark room with a fire in the middle and they offered me tea.The tea was unforgettable. It was brewed in a tiny little lidless pot with some grass in it that was placed directly into the fire. A few times they poured salt into this “tea”as one would pour sugar into coffee. The result was intolerably salty and definitely did not quench my thirst. But I made a friendly face and from time to time sipped from my tiny cup as we continued to gaze into the fire. Obviously, there was no conversation between us, since there was no common language.2.Translate the following into Englishbathe in the riverwith open delightfree-lane writerafter a pausepart-Indian guide3.Translate the following sentences into English 1)G reen fireflies spattered lights across the air and illumined for seconds, now here, now there, the pale trunks of enormous, solitary trees.2)A ll at once, in the thatch house across the clearing behind us came the sound of a recorder, playing a tune that twined over the village clearing, muted our talk on the bankside, and wandered over the river, dissolving downstream.3)W e are here on the planet only once, and might as well get a feel for the place.4)H e aimed brilliantly at moving targets, always, and always missed; the birds were out of range.5)T he Napo River: it is not out of the way.

September 1962; has been well received4. played a role / was instrumental; the Environmental Protection Agency ScriptOn the walls of the US vice president's office, you might expect to see photos of political giants past and present. Amidst his collection, however, Al Gore, the US vice president from 1993-2001, cherishes a picture of a biologist from Western Pennsylvania — Rachel Carson, author of Silent Spring. Why does an ordinary scientist lay claim to this space? "For me personally," says Gore in his introduction to the 1992 edition of her book, "Silent Spring had a profound impact ... Indeed, Rachel Carson was one of the reasons that I became so conscious of the environment and so involved with environmental issues. "Since the 1962 publication of Silent Spring— in which Carson described the effects of pesticides on plants, animals, and humans — she has been praised and criticized liberally. Scientists, politicians, policy makers, garden clubs, and the media have alternately attacked her science and her questioning of the "irresponsibility of an industrialized, technological society toward the natural world."Despite attempts by the chemical industry to dismiss Carson's science, her work is credited with beginning the American environmental movement and the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency. The immediate response to Silent Spring was enormous. On publication day, September 27, 1962, the advance sales of Silent Spring totaled 40,000 copies. Carson's book educated many people about the dangers of indiscriminate pesticide use, and challenged them to becomeinformed and to act. One grateful reader told Carson in a note, "I must thank you for making us readers understand our place in the world so much better ... I know that your great quiet eloquence will open many eyes and close many bottles."Many view Silent Spring as instrumental in the United States' decision to ban DDT. "Many birds might have disappeared from the America sky had it not been for a book that forever changed the way we look at pesticides," reported the Chapel Hill Herald on the twenty fifth anniversary of the book's publication.R T In the dramatic opening to her book, "Silent Spring", Rachel Carson paints a disturbing picture of an America suffering from a mysterious series of misfortunes that strike both animals and humans. What, she leaves us wondering, might be the cause?雷切尔·卡森在其《寂静的春天》一书的颇具戏剧性的开头中，描绘了一幅在美国动物和人遭遇一系列莫名其妙的灾难的袭击的令人不安的场景。
