Garrison had been treasuring his last piece. All he had left now was a sheet of the beautiful brown paper Pa had brought back from his last sailing trip.
“You’ve been quiet.” Pa said, “Could I see your picture ”
Garrison handed over his sketch. Pa studied it, then looked at his son. “You’re ten now, eh ” Garrison nodded, hoping Pa wouldn’t say that he was too old to be fooling around with pencils and paper.
“When I was ten, I wanted to work on my father’s ship,” Pa said, “When Thomas was ten, he asked me to let him plant the corn.”
Garrison’s throat tightened. “I know I’m not like either of you.” Pa looked at the drawing again.
“No, you are like both of us. You work hard, like Thomas. And you’re like me, too. I have wandering feet, but you have a wandering mind. We need to see things differently.”
Garrison frowned. “I’d rather love the land, like Thomas, or the sea...”
Pa patted his hand. “Thomas cares about our family very much—that’s why he’s worked so hard to bring us food. And my love for the sea makes good money. But there’s more in life than food and money. There’s happiness, for one. Does it make you happy to draw ”
Garrison nodded.
“And it makes me happy to look at your drawings. Not many folks can catch happiness on a piece of paper. Some might say drawing’s a waste of time, but they don’t understand how things are. Why, asking you to stop drawing would be like asking Thomas to stop farming, or me to stop going to sea. It would be like asking us to stop breathing, wouldn’t it ”
Garrison considered this, then replied, “No, sir. Not quite like breathing. If I couldn’t draw any more, it would be...like someone took away my voice.” He hung his head. In his mind he could hear Thomas laughing, “It’s not like you ever speak up, anyway.”
But Pa patted his shoulder and said, “That would be a pure shame. Your voice is important, Garrison, whether it’s out loud or on paper. And speaking of paper...” Pa smiled. “Take a look in my bag.”
Garrison reached into the bag and found a sketchbook. For a moment he was speechless; happiness seemed to fill his body and stick in his throat. Then he managed to find his voice. “Oh, Pa—thank you.”
31. Why did Garrison’s throat tighten
A. Because he felt thirsty.
B. Because he felt very scared.
C. Because he knew he was not like Pa or Thomas.
D. Because he thought Pa would stop him drawing.
32. When Garrison frowned, he most probably felt ________.
A. unhappy B. worried C. afraid D. excited
33. Which word can describe Garrison’s father
A. Strict. B. Patient. C. Understanding. D. Traditional.
【答案】31. D 32. B 33. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了爸爸鼓励儿子画画的故事。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文中“Garrison nodded, hoping Pa wouldn’t say that he was too old to be fooling around with pencils and paper.”及“‘When I was ten, I wanted to work on my father’s ship,’ Pa said, ‘When Thomas was ten, he asked me to let him plant the corn.’”可知，这些都与他在做的画画无关，所以加里森的喉咙绷紧是因为他认为爸爸会阻止他画画，故选D。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据文中“No, you are like both of us. You work hard, like Thomas. And you’re like me, too. I have wandering feet, but you have a wandering mind. We need to see things differently.”可以推知，加里森听到父亲的这些话后，心里还是担心爸爸不让他画画，故选B。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Pa smiled. ‘Take a look in my bag.’”和“Garrison reached into the bag and found a sketchbook.”可知，爸爸对他画画是支持的，所以爸爸是善解人意的，故选C。

Technology has done our world wonders: from development in medicine, travel, communication, to our day-to-day lives. It has undoubtedly changed the way our society works, and how we communicate with one another and ourselves. However, by completely welcoming technology as a part of everyday life, are we losing our ability to create
Technology presents a new platform for creativity to exist(存在)on. Through technology, ideas can be set free and come to life in the physical world. We have the necessary tools for greater possibilities and new solutions. For example, businesses now have the opportunity to improve themselves more creatively through websites, film advertisements,social media or radio.
However, when we look more closely, it’s easy to notice some disadvantages. For example, many of us depend so heavily on automated calculations(自动计算)nowadays, rather than taking the time to work it out for ourselves. Another obvious situation is that a lot of people are spending too much time on screens. As a result, they are reducing the opportunities to come up with their own creations.
Is there a way to find a balance between technology and human creativity I think so. It is simply a matter of making sure that creativity is not deterred by technology. The first way is to reduce our usage of digital devices(数字设备)by setting limits on when, where, and how long we use them,turning off the notifications(通知)on your phone, or putting your phone on “Do Not Disturb”. Once you become used to these, you will feel surprised how little you think about your phone.
Another wonderful way is to take daily walks in the nature. It can help you reset, rebalance, and keep going. In the long run, a daily walk can not only influence our creativity and imagination but further our physical and mental(思想的)health. We can also develop our creativity by doing yoga, keeping a journal, or reading.
The key to the survival(生存)of our creativity starts with us. Will you put your phone away when spending time with friends Will you try to find happiness and purpose outside of a screen The actions you choose to take will help change the relationship between creativity and technology for the better.
34. Why does the writer talk about businesses in Paragraph 2
A. To stress the importance of creativity.
B. To suggest good ways to develop technology.
C. To show the effect that technology has on creativity.
D. To explain the relationship between business and creativity.
35. The word “deterred”in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”.
A. examined B. controlled C. replaced D. prevented
36. The writer probably agrees that ________.
A limiting the usage of our phones can help us develop creativity
B. spending time on screens is the easiest way to keep people happy
C. turning off the notifications on the phone will make people worried
D. a daily walk does more good to physical health than to mental health
37. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A. Technology: How Does It Help Develop Creativity
B. Creativity in a World of Technology: Does It Exist
C. Technology and Creativity: Which Is More Important
D. Technology and Creativity: How Do They Influence Each Other
【答案】34. C 35. D 36. A 37. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了技术会不会阻碍我们的创造力，作者就此提出了自己的一些建议与看法。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Through technology, ideas can be set free and come to life in the physical world.”可知，通过技术，思想可以得到解放，并在现实世界中变得有生命，可见强调了技术对创造力的影响，故选C。
【35题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“Is there a way to find a balance between technology and human creativity ”和“It is simply a matter of making sure that creativity is not deterred by technology.”可知，在技术和人类创造力之间找到平衡，确保创造力不被技术阻止，因此“deterred”意为“prevented”，故选D。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据“The first way is to reduce our usage of digital devices（数字设备）by setting limits on when, where, and how long we use them,turning off the notifications（通知）on your phone, or putting your phone on “Do Not Disturb”. ”可知，限制手机的使用可以帮助我们发展创造力，故选A。
【37题详解】
最佳标题题。根据“However, by completely welcoming technology as a part of everyday life, are we losing our ability to create ”可知，本文主要讲述了技术会不会阻碍我们的创造力，选项“Creativity in a World of Technology: Does It Exist ”符合句意，故选B。

Since 2011, the Shanghai Peking Opera Company has held two seasons of “Youth Runway”, a long-term opera development project, hoping to find young opera talents.118 young performers have successfully showed 200 plays and classical pieces. Most of them were born between 1995 and 2000, making them the company’s newest power. They will show both classical and new plays in many different styles.
__①__ The Butterfly Lovers, one of the plays in this spring, is changed from a sad love story between a young poor man, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, the daughter of a wealthy family. They return as butterflies after their death. Another one, Twelve Roles, which will be presented in the summer, largely gets its idea from an American film 12 Angry Men. The 12 members, all from different backgrounds, must decide a child’s fate in a murder.
Yueju opera, which developed around 1906 in Shengzhou, Zhejiang Province, is one of China’s most famous operas. In the old days, people loved it because of its styles of singing and melodies (旋律). Now, it is getting a new life. __②__ The performing season for young performers is held in its fifth year and has its own characteristic.

Every year, the China Shanghai International Arts Festival provides chances for traditional opera performers like Yueju talents to perform. __③__ Many traditional opera performers have got fans among students and young performers in recent years by showing how they prepare for a concert and behind-the-scenes stories with mobile apps on video websites.
__④__ They try many ways to make traditional art forms attractive to today’s youth, including the creation of short opera films and the use of popular melodies. “We believe that Xiqu (traditional opera) like Yueju can attract today’s young people because it can be mixed with different art forms,” says Chen Daming, a theater critic.

Garrison had been treasuring his last piece. All he had left now was a sheet of the beautiful brown paper Pa had brought back from his last sailing trip.
“You’ve been quiet.” Pa said, “Could I see your picture ”
Garrison handed over his sketch. Pa studied it, then looked at his son. “You’re ten now, eh ” Garrison nodded, hoping Pa wouldn’t say that he was too old to be fooling around with pencils and paper.
“When I was ten, I wanted to work on my father’s ship,” Pa said, “When Thomas was ten, he asked me to let him plant the corn.”
Garrison’s throat tightened. “I know I’m not like either of you.” Pa looked at the drawing again.
“No, you are like both of us. You work hard, like Thomas. And you’re like me, too. I have wandering feet, but you have a wandering mind. We need to see things differently.”
Garrison frowned. “I’d rather love the land, like Thomas, or the sea...”
Pa patted his hand. “Thomas cares about our family very much—that’s why he’s worked so hard to bring us food. And my love for the sea makes good money. But there’s more in life than food and money. There’s happiness, for one. Does it make you happy to draw ”
Garrison nodded.
“And it makes me happy to look at your drawings. Not many folks can catch happiness on a piece of paper. Some might say drawing’s a waste of time, but they don’t understand how things are. Why, asking you to stop drawing would be like asking Thomas to stop farming, or me to stop going to sea. It would be like asking us to stop breathing, wouldn’t it ”
Garrison considered this, then replied, “No, sir. Not quite like breathing. If I couldn’t draw any more, it would be...like someone took away my voice.” He hung his head. In his mind he could hear Thomas laughing, “It’s not like you ever speak up, anyway.”
But Pa patted his shoulder and said, “That would be a pure shame. Your voice is important, Garrison, whether it’s out loud or on paper. And speaking of paper...” Pa smiled. “Take a look in my bag.”
Garrison reached into the bag and found a sketchbook. For a moment he was speechless; happiness seemed to fill his body and stick in his throat. Then he managed to find his voice. “Oh, Pa—thank you.”
31. Why did Garrison’s throat tighten
A. Because he felt thirsty.
B. Because he felt very scared.
C. Because he knew he was not like Pa or Thomas.
D. Because he thought Pa would stop him drawing.
32. When Garrison frowned, he most probably felt ________.
A. unhappy B. worried C. afraid D. excited
33. Which word can describe Garrison’s father
A. Strict. B. Patient. C. Understanding. D. Traditional.

Technology has done our world wonders: from development in medicine, travel, communication, to our day-to-day lives. It has undoubtedly changed the way our society works, and how we communicate with one another and ourselves. However, by completely welcoming technology as a part of everyday life, are we losing our ability to create
Technology presents a new platform for creativity to exist(存在)on. Through technology, ideas can be set free and come to life in the physical world. We have the necessary tools for greater possibilities and new solutions. For example, businesses now have the opportunity to improve themselves more creatively through websites, film advertisements,social media or radio.
However, when we look more closely, it’s easy to notice some disadvantages. For example, many of us depend so heavily on automated calculations(自动计算)nowadays, rather than taking the time to work it out for ourselves. Another obvious situation is that a lot of people are spending too much time on screens. As a result, they are reducing the opportunities to come up with their own creations.
Is there a way to find a balance between technology and human creativity I think so. It is simply a matter of making sure that creativity is not deterred by technology. The first way is to reduce our usage of digital devices(数字设备)by setting limits on when, where, and how long we use them,turning off the notifications(通知)on your phone, or putting your phone on “Do Not Disturb”. Once you become used to these, you will feel surprised how little you think about your phone.
Another wonderful way is to take daily walks in the nature. It can help you reset, rebalance, and keep going. In the long run, a daily walk can not only influence our creativity and imagination but further our physical and mental(思想的)health. We can also develop our creativity by doing yoga, keeping a journal, or reading.
The key to the survival(生存)of our creativity starts with us. Will you put your phone away when spending time with friends Will you try to find happiness and purpose outside of a screen The actions you choose to take will help change the relationship between creativity and technology for the better.
34. Why does the writer talk about businesses in Paragraph 2
A. To stress the importance of creativity.
B. To suggest good ways to develop technology.
C. To show the effect that technology has on creativity.
D. To explain the relationship between business and creativity.
35. The word “deterred”in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”.
A. examined B. controlled C. replaced D. prevented
