3、y (超导体技术). Used today only in specialized equipment, super conductors have the potential to radically change most of the electrical and electronic appliances found in the home, making them smaller, more powerful and efficient. They could free our cities of pollution by replacing petrol and diesel (柴

4、油) vehicles with electric cars, and cut the cost of electricity. The new materials do something that even the best of conductors such as copper and silver cannotthey do away with all electrical resistance. The significances for energy storage are great. The technology is in its early stage, still ac

5、cessible to countries that decide to invest brains and money. For 75 years it had remained little more than a scientific curiosity with limited practical use because the phenomenon occurred only at extremely low temperatures.

16、，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。2阅读理解 WISH YOU WERE MORE CREATIVE? I want to ask you a favor. I have a pair of pants. Tell me: How many different ways can I put a pair of pants to use? Now imagine youre an architect. Same question. Now imagine youre Bill Gates. A scuba diver. A medieval knight. You still ha

17、ve the pants. What alternative uses come to mind? What you just practiced-the conscious act of wearing another self-is an exercise that, according to psychiatrist SriniPillay, MD, is essential to being creative. One great irony (讽刺) about our collective addiction to creativity is that we tend to fra

18、me it in uncreative ways. That is to say, most of us marry creativity to our concept of self: Either were creative or we arent, without much of a middle ground. Im just not a creative person! a discouraged student might say in art class, while another might blame her talent at painting for her diffi

19、culties in math, making a comment Im very right-brained. Dr.Pillay, an assistant professor at Harvard University, has spent years overturning these ideas. He believes that the key to unlocking your creative potential is to challenge the stereotyped (陈词滥调的) advice that urges you to believe in yoursel

20、f. In fact, you should do the opposite: Believe you are someone else. He points to a study showing the impact of stereotype on ones behavior. The authors, psychologists Denis Dumas and Kevin Dunbar, divided their college student subjects into two groups, instructing one group to think of themselves

21、as eccentric poets and the other to imagine they were rigid librarians. The researchers then presented them all with ordinary objects, including a fork, a carrot, and a pair of pants, and asked them to come up with as many different uses as possible for each one. The former group came up with the wi

22、dest range of ideas, whereas the latter had the fewest. These results suggest that creativity is not an individual characteristic but a product of context and perspective. Everyone can be creative, as long as he or she feels like a creative person. Dr. Pillays work takes this a step further: He argu

23、es that simply identifying yourself as creative is less powerful than taking the brave, creative step of imagining you are somebody else. This exercise, which he calls psychological Halloweenism, refers to the conscious action of wearing another self. An actor may employ this technique to get into c

24、haracter, but anyone can use it. According to Dr. Pillay, it works because it is an act of conscious unfocus, a collection of brain regions that spring into action when youre not focused on a specific task or thought. Most people spend nearly half of their days in a state of unfocus. This doesnt mak

25、e us lazy; it makes us human. Imagining yourself in a new situation, or an entirely new identity, never felt so productive. Youre making yourself more creative, and youre giving yourself permission to do something youd otherwise feel guilty about.（1）Whats the function of the questions in paragraph 1

29、of wearing another self-is an exercise thatis essential to being creative.“可知作者接着说刚才你所练习的有意识地穿戴另一个自我的行为是一种对保持创造力至关重要的练习。这说明作者在第一段问这些问题就是为了引出下文中的创造力话题， 故选A。 （2）考查细节理解。根据第六段”These results suggest that creativity is not an individual characteristic but aproduct of context and perspective. Everyone can

30、be creative, as long as he or she feels like a creative person.“可知Denis Dumas 和Kevin Dunbar的研究结果表明创造力不是个体特征，而是环境和视角的产物。每个人都可以有创造力，只要他或她觉得自己是一个有创造力的人。也就是说一个人的创造力是取决于自己的。故选D。 （3）考查推理判断。根据第七段中的”According to Dr. Pillay, it works because it is an act of conscious unfocus, a collection of brain regions th

31、at spring into action when youre not focused on a specific task or thought.“可知据皮莱博士说，心理万圣节之所以有效，是因为它是一种有意识的分散注意力的行为，当你不专注于某一特定任务或思想时，大脑中一系列区域就起作用。这说明心理万圣节有效是因为大脑的某些区域大脑协同工作，故选B。 （4）考查推理判断。根据第四段中的”He believes that the key to unlocking your creative potential is to challenge the stereotyped (陈词滥调的) advice that urges you to believe in yourself.
