(Creative Process of Works)The great question that this paper will, but feebly, attempt to answer is , what is the creative process?Though much theory has accumulated, little is really known about the power that lies at the bottom of poetic creation. It is true that great poets and artists produce beauty by employing all the powers of personality and by fusing emotions, reason, and intuitions. But what is the magical synthesis that joins and arranges these complex parts into poetic unity?John L.Lowes, in his justly famous “The Road to Xanadu,” developed one of the earliest and still generally acceptable answers to this tantalizing question. Imaginative creation, he concludes, is a complex process in which the conscious and unconscious minds jointly operate. “There is…the deep well with its chaos of fortuitously blending images; but there is likewise the Vision which sees shining in and through the chaos of the potential lines of Form, and with the Vision, the controlling Will. Which gives to that potential beauty actuality.”The Deep Well is the unconscious mind that is peopled with the facts, ideas, feelings of the conscious activity. The imaginative vision, an unconscious activity, shines through the land of chaos, of lights and shadows, silently seeking pattern and form. Finally, the conscious mind again, through Will, captures and embodies the idea in the final work of art. In this way is unity born out of chaos. Though there can be no absolute certainty, there is general agreement that the periods in the development of a creative work parallel, to some extent, Lowes’ theory of Well, Vision, Form, and Will. There are at least three stages in the creative process: preparation, inspiration, work.In a sense, the period of preparation is all of the writer’s life. It is the Deep Well. It is the Deep Well. It is especially a period of concentration which gives the unconscious mind an opportunity to communicate with the conscious mind. When remembrance of things past reach the conscious level of the writer’s mind, he is ready to go on with the process. Part of this preparation involves learning a medium—learning a language, learning how to write, learning literary forms. It is important to mot here that form cannot be imposed upon the idea. Evidence, though sparse, shows that the idea gives birth to the form that can best convey it. It is the Vision, according to Lowes, ” which sees shining in and through the chaws of the potential lines of from …”1.

广西柳州市2016高考英语阅读理解【二轮】选练（5）2016高考英语阅读理解——教育类Would you want a doctor who got high marks in medical school just for trying hard? Apparently many college students would have no problem with that. They believe students are owed a good grade simply because they put a lot of effort into a class. The researchers asked more than 800 undergraduates if they agreed or disagreed with some statements. For example: "If I have completed most of the reading for a class, I deserve a B in that course." And: "A professor should not be annoyed with me if I receive an important call during class."Just 16 percent thought it was OK to take that phone call. But 66 percent agreed that a professor should consider effort and not just the quality of a student's work when deciding grades. And 40 percent thought they should get a B, the second highest mark, just because they did most of the reading for class.Some experts are not surprised that students often see no difference between effort and results. Social critics like to say that in children's activities these days everyone gets an award just for trying, so no one will feel rejected.Yet competition to get into the best colleges is fiercer than ever. Students may worry that low grades will keep them out of graduate school or a good job.And there may be another explanation: pressure from parents to get a good return on the family's investment. These days, college can cost more than a house.A former teaching assistant recently wrote to the New York Times about his experience with grade expectations. He would try to explain it this way when students asked for a top grade just for studying hard in chemistry class:What if a baseball player came to spring training and worked harder than all the others, but still could not play well? Would the team accept him anyway, just because he tried so hard?The students would say no. But most of them would still ask for an A.【小题1】What does the passage mainly discuss?A．Whether students deserve high marks just for trying hard.B．Whether students are allowed to answer calls in class.C．How students can get a good grade in the course.D．Why students put a lot of efforts in their studies.【小题2】According to the research, most of the students _______.A. thought it was all right to answer the call during class.B. thought they did most of the work for class and should get a B.C. objected to deciding grades only by the quality of a student’s work.D. agreed that they should be given top grades because of their hard work.【小题3】Wh ich of the following opinions do social critics agree to about children’s activities?A．Those who are active in the activities can get an award.B．Only by playing an important role in the activities can you get an award.C．Whoever takes part in the activities can get an award.D．An award is prepared for anyone who performs best in the activities.【小题4】From the sixth paragraph we can learn that _____.A．it costs much more to build a college than to buy a house.B．the costs of studying at college are much more than staying at home.C．the costs of sending a child to college are much more than buying a house.D．it is difficult for parents to send a child to college.2016高考英语阅读理解——教育类Should universities focus on training workers for the next decade or curing diseases for the next century? A group of governors, educators, and CEOs weighed inon the best way universities can prepare for the future. They debated how the U.S. can take the responsibility for research while still preparing students for real jobs. Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin said that the first thing she thinks about as governor is educating Oklahoma students and strengthening the workforce. So she’s carrying out a program called “America Works: Education and Training for Tomorrow’s Jobs” that aims to “reorganize our education system with the current needs of our employers”.The state governor added that this new educational approach doesn’t just benefit students and companies, but also improves the state economy. “We’ve been able to at tract new companies to our state because of what we’re doing with our universities, because our students are a pipeline for the workforce,” she said. “General Electric Company (one of the world’s biggest companies) is coming to Oklahoma.”Other group members were more focused on the long-term goals of a research university. Amy Gutmann pointed out that “basic research is the foundation for everything else that happens at a university. And if we don’t do it, nobody else will.”“And if nobody does that research, we’ll pay the price in health care bills,” argued Vagelos, who is a former CEO of Merck & Co., Inc, one of the largest pharmaceutical (制药的) companies in the world. “The jobs of universities are basic research, which is what is needed for attack s on disease,” he said. “There has been a reduction in coronary heart disease (冠心病) by 60% in the last forty years because of this research, and that reduces health care costs.”James Hunt, former North Carolina governor, argued for a happy medium. Effective communication, he said, would help the public see that the research conducted at universities actually serves a practical purpose.Eli Broad, founder of the Broad Foundations, agreed. “We have to show the public what research has achieved,” he said.“We have to show how it actually goes from basic research to something they can understand.”【小题1】Why does Oklahoma appeal to General Electric Company?A．University graduates in the state are well trained.B．There’s much support from the local government.C．Many students in the state hope to be workers.D．The state economy has been growing rapidly.【小题2】What is Gutmann’s attitude toward Fallin’s program?A．Curious. B．Tolerant.C．Disapproving. D．Sympathetic.【小题3】Vagelos mentioned coronary heart disease in order to show _____.A．the achievements of Merck & Co., IncB．the difficulty of developing new drugsC．the heavy burden of health care costsD．the importance of basic research【小题4】Which of the following can be the best title of this text?A．Universities or colleges?B．Workers or researchers?C．Basic or further research?D．Education or development?阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

四川简阳市2016高考英语：阅读理解二轮训练（5）及答案阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。

“America’s No.1 Health Problem.” So reads the headline of an article published by the American Institute of Stress that claims the biggest threat to health today is neither cancer nor AIDS. Ther eport says: “It has been estimated（估计）that 75 to 90 percent of all visits to primary care physicians are for stress related problems.”It is no exaggeration（夸张）to say that people today are being attacked by stress. According to the National Consumers L eague, “Work is the top source of stress for adults who have problems and stress in their lives (39%), followed by family (30%). Other sources include health (10%), concern about the economy (9%) and concern about international conflict and terrorism (4%).”However, stress is hardly unique to the United States. A British survey in 2005 estimated that “over half a million individuals in Britain believed in 2004 that they were experiencing work-related stress at a level that was making them ill.” As a result of “work-related stress, depression or anxiety,” there are “an estimated thirteen and a half million reported lost working days per year in Britain.”The picture is no less bleak in mainland Europe. According to the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work, “work-related stress has been shown to affect millions of European workers across all types of employment sectors.” One survey reveale d that there are “about 41 million workers affected by work-related stress each year.”What about Asia? A rep ort issued by a conference held in Tokyo concluded: “Job stress is a common concern among many countries in the world, both developing and industrialized countries.” The report observed that “several countries in East Asia, including China and Korea, have rapidly industrialized and economically grown. These countries now have a lot of concerns on job stress and its harmful effects on workers’ health.”1. The author quoted “America’s No.1 Health Problem.” (Para. 1) in order to ______.A. talk about health problems in AmericaB. introduce the topic of stressC. emphasize the stress in AmericaD. tell readers something about American Institute of Stress答案解析：答案为B。
