夹叙夹议文 感悟诗歌 ★★★ 6 min P57
　　Here we are， wrapping up 2023 in a red bow like one of the holiday presents in a TV commercial. It was a year full of poetic discoveries for our editorial team and especially for me. I encountered so many new-to-me poets. Diana Solís from the December 2022 issue and Joyce Mansour from the June 2023 issue are examples of this： Poets with whom I was unfamiliar and who have now become part of my daily conversation. Living in Chicago， I might have encountered Diana Solís some other way. She is an icon of revolutionary poetry and photography. What a gift to learn， to be enthusiastic about new poetics like I’m still in the front row of the classroom， trying to do my best.
Two truths I’ve learnt about Chicago since moving here： Chicago is a city that holds things close and doesn’t need to show off about its riches. And there are riches everywhere—great music all over the place， the best pizza， an embarrassment of architectures， and， of course， poetry on every corner. Nelson Algren said every great writer must spend time in Chicago.
The final version of 2023 is from a distinguished Chicagoan， the poet and journalist Frank Marshall Davis. When I read his work for the first time， I was struck by the truth of the poems， his clear-eyed critique. He was a truth teller when no one wanted to listen. This issue also includes poems of another Chicago great， Li-Young Lee. His poems taught me how to think about romance as an engine for a poem. Multiple generations of poets have been using the man’s gestures in their love poems， often without realising it， because even their teachers were borrowing from Li-Young Lee too.
So maybe that is why this issue has me in my holiday feels. Poems can be for the poet and the community concurrently， an offering of the self that indicates the care of the giver.
语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者对自己2023年在芝加哥的工作和生活进行了总结，并感悟到诗歌的伟大。
(　　)4.What is the occupation of the author

说明文 团队头脑风暴 ★★★ 8 min P57
　　When facing an extremely annoying problem， we often gather a group to brainstorm， aiming to get the best ideas quickly. I love seeing it happen—except for one tiny wrinkle. Group brainstorming usually backfires.
In brainstorming meetings， many good ideas are lost—and few are gained. Extensive evidence shows that when generating ideas together， we fail to maximise collective intelligence. Surprisingly enough， individuals working alone tend to produce more and better ideas compared to brainstorming in groups.
To unearth the hidden potential in teams， instead of brainstorming， a shift to a process called “brainwriting” is more effective. Initially， you ask everyone to generate ideas independently. Next， you pool them and share them anonymously (匿名地) among the group.
To preserve independent judgment， each member evaluates them on their own. Only then does the team come together to select and refine the most promising options. By developing and assessing ideas individually before choosing and detailing them， teams can surface and advance possibilities that might not get attention otherwise.
For instance， during the 2010 Chilean mine rescue， with time pressing， the rescue team established a global brainwriting system to crowd source independent ideas， avoiding time-consuming brainstorming. An entrepreneur offered a tiny plastic telephone that became the sole means of communicating with the miners while a 24-year-old engineer’s suggestion resulted in the creation of a specialised drill that ultimately saved the miners.
Research by organisational behaviour scholar Anita Woolley and her colleagues helps to explain why this method works. They find that a key to collective intelligence is balanced participation. In brainstorming meetings， participation can easily become dominated by the most influential people. The brainwriting process ensures that all ideas are brought to the table
and all voices are brought into the conversation. The goal isn’t to be the smartest person in the room—it’s to make the room smarter.
Collective intelligence begins with individual creativity， but it doesn’t end there. Individuals working alone produce greater varieties of novel ideas， both brilliant and terrible， than groups. It takes collective judgment to locate the signal within the noise and extract the best ideas.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了当遇到问题时，我们倾向于进行小组头脑风暴快速找到解决问题的方法，但是事实上，这种形式效率低，“头脑写作”在给出想法上有突出的优越性，而在集体智慧中，我们也需要集体判断才能确定最优的想法。
(　　)8.Which of the following best describes “group brainstorming” according to this passage
A.Creative. B.Productive.
C.Inefficient. D.Fundamental.
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Group brainstorming usually backfires.”及第二段中的“In brainstorming meetings， many good ideas are lost—and few are gained. Extensive evidence shows that when generating ideas together， we fail to maximise collective intelligence.”可知，小组头脑风暴经常会忽视一些好主意。由此推知，这种形式是低效率的。
C
(　　)9.Why is the 2010 rescue mentioned in Paragraph 4
A.To illustrate the significance of specific equipment in the rescue.
B.To show the importance of brainstorming in emergency situations.
C.To highlight the role of influential people in collective intelligence.
D.To demonstrate the effectiveness of brainwriting in generating ideas.
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“To unearth the hidden potential in teams， instead of brainstorming， a shift to a process called ‘brainwriting’ is more effective.”及第四段举的例子可推知，第四段描述援救旷工的过程为了证明头脑写作在产生想法方面的有效性。
D
(　　)10.What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 5
A.The importance of collective intelligence.
B.The goal of becoming the smartest person.
C.The power of equal involvement in brainwriting.
D.The influence of powerful individuals in decision-making.
【解析】 段落大意题。通读第五段的内容可知，本段解释了为什么头脑写作对比头脑风暴会效率更高，表明了所有人的想法都能平等参与头脑写作时力量是巨大的。
C
(　　)11.What is the function of collective judgment in collective intelligence
A.Identifying the top ideas.
B.Finding more good solutions.
C.Replacing individual creativity.
D.Encouraging group brainstorming.
【解析】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Individuals working alone produce greater varieties of novel ideas， both brilliant and terrible， than groups. It takes collective judgment to locate the signal within the noise and extract the best ideas.”可知，在集体智慧中，需要集体判断才能确定最优的想法。

Write all the time.
