【答案】
(1)B
(2)C
(3)A
(4)B
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了超导体技术的发展潜能和发展状况。
(1)考查推理判断。
根据第一段中的“Anewtechnologyisgoingtoripe,onethatcouldtransformourdailylives,helptoformnewindustries,evenremoveworldeconomicpowersfromtheirpresentpositions.”一项新技术即将成熟,它可以改变我们的日常生活,帮助形成新的产业,甚至将世界经济强国从其目前的地位上移除;以及第三段中的“Thetechnologyisinitsearlystage,stillaccessibletocountriesthatdecidetoinvestbrainsandmoney”技术还处于早期阶段,那些决定投资于人才和资金的国家仍然可以获得这项技术,可知选B。
(2)考查细节理解。
根据第一段中的“UnlikethewaveofindustrializationthatbeganintheWestandspreadlatertotherestoftheworld,thenewdevelopmentsaretakingplaceinresearchlabsallovertheglobe—andAsiansareintheforefront.”与开始于西方,后来传播到世界其他地区工业化的浪潮不同,全球各地的研究实验室都在进行新的研究——亚洲人走在最前线。
故选C。
(3)考查推理判断。
根据第一段中的“UnlikethewaveofindustrializationthatbeganintheWestandspreadlatertotherestoftheworld,thenewdevelopmentsaretakingplaceinresearchlabsallovertheglobe—andAsiansareintheforefront.”与开始于西方,后来传播到世界其他地区工业化的浪潮不同,全球各地的研究实验室都在进行新的研究——亚洲人走在最前线;以及最后一段中的“TodayJapan,India,ChinaandotherAsiancountriesallhavetheirshareofexpertswhospendtheirdaysandnightsinlabs,actingasmidwives(助产士)toanewtechnology.”今天,日本,印度,中国和其它亚洲国家都有自己的专家,白天和晚上都在实验室里,充当一种新技术的助产士,故选A。
(4)考查主旨大意。
纵观全文可知,第一段首先提出一项新技术,第二段说明了这项技术的发展潜能,最后一段介绍这项新技术的发展状况,因此选B。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解,推理判断和主旨大意三个题型的考查,是一篇科普类阅读,要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上,进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系,进行分析,推理,概括和归纳,从而选出正确答案。

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文,论述了如何让自己更有创造力,给读者展示了一种心理学理念心理角色扮演:
遇见更有创造力的自己。
(1)考查推理判断。
根据第一段可知作者问读者一条裤子可以有多少种不同的用法?
并让读者假设自己是一名建筑师,比尔盖茨,带水肺的潜水员,一个中世纪的骑士等等思考同样的问题;再根据第二段”Whatyoujustpracticed--theconsciousactof"wearing"anotherself--isanexercisethat…isessentialtobeingcreative.“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”Theseresultssuggestthatcreativityisnotanindividualcharacteristicbuta‘productofcontextandperspective’.Everyonecanbecreative,aslongasheorshefeelslikeacreativeperson.“可知DenisDumas和KevinDunbar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”AccordingtoDr.Pillay,itworksbecauseitisanactofconsciousunfocus,acollectionofbrainregionsthatspringintoactionwhenyou'renotfocusedonaspecifictaskorthought.“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”Hebelievesthatthekeytounlockingyourcreativepotentialistochallengethestereotyped(陈词滥调的)advicethaturgesyouto‘believeinyourself.’Infact,youshoulddoth
