(答案见:词汇后)
Do you want to become creative? People usually consider creativity to be a rare gift that only geniuses possess. _______1_________.And like any of it, you can practice and get better at it. So here are some of the not-so-exciting-but-also-really-important things you can do to be more creative in your own life.
__________2____________.
Creative geniuses are often labeled as strange and unusual. And sure, sometimes they are. But usually, they're not.

For most of his literary career, he held regular jobs - first as a newspaper reporter, then an ambulance driver in WWI, and later a journalist - while creating his famous works on the side.
Focus on doing the work, not flashes of inspiration.
_______3_________.As Einstein once put it, “It's not that I'm so smart, I just sit with the problems longer.”
Charles Darwin is still considered one of the most innovative scientists. But he never really had an “aha” moment about natural selection. There was no light bulb that went off in his head. ________4____________. Darwin studied countless different species of plants and animals across multiple continents for several decades. He took endless notes, drew pictures repeatedly, traveled around, talked to locals and other scientists, and then wrote in his journal about what he saw - all slow, repetitive work without any excitement.
Be bored, not distracted.
the most boring way to be less boring and more creative is boredom itself. Plato wrote that boredom is the mother of all invention. Modern society, with all its flashy devices, has gotten really good at distracting us from this boredom. But in the right environment, it's that very same boredom that fuels creative people. _________5_____________.
选项
A. Do “normal” things.
B. Besides, he was very hardworking.
C. Engage in positive and unusual activities.
D. Yet, in reality, it turns out that creativity is a skill.
E. Instead, the process of his discovery is rather boring.
F. Creative people don't “find” time but put in the time to be creative.
G. So, rather than turning away from boredom, just use it to create something.

Do you want to become creative? People usually consider creativity to be a rare gift that only geniusespossess.(D)Yet, in reality, it turns out that creativity is a skill. And like any of it, you can practice and get better at it. So here are some of the not-so-exciting-but-also-really-important things you can do to be more creative in your own life.
你想变得富有创造力吗?人们常常认为创造力是只有天才才拥有的珍贵天赋。然而事实上,创造力其实是一种技能。和其他技能一样,你可以通过练习提升它。下面有几件看似平淡却十分重要的事,能帮你在生活中提升创造力。
(A)Do “normal” things.
做平常普通的事。
Creative geniuses are often labeled as strange and unusual. And sure, sometimes they are. But usually, they're not. Ernest Hemingway, one of the most celebrated American authors, had a writing style admired by many, yet his life was ordinary. For most of his literary career, he held regular jobs: first as a newspaper reporter, then an ambulance driver in WWI, and later a journalist,while creating his famous works on the side.
富有创造力的天才常被贴上古怪异类的标签。诚然,部分人的确如此,但大多数并非这样。海明威是美国极具盛名的作家,文笔广受赞誉,生活却十分普通。他大半写作生涯里都有着固定工作:先是报社记者,一战时担任救护车司机,之后又做新闻撰稿人,同时利用业余时间写下诸多经典作品。
Focus on doing the work, not flashes of inspiration.
专注踏实做事,不要坐等灵感闪现。
(F)Creative people don't “find” time but put in the time to be creative. As Einstein once put it, “It's not that I'm so smart, I just sit withthe problems longer.”
有创造力的人不会抽空创作,而是专门投入时间去创作。爱因斯坦曾说:“我并非格外聪慧,只是愿意花更长时间钻研难题。”
Charles Darwin is still considered one of the most innovative scientists. But he never really had an “aha” moment about natural selection. There was no light bulb that went off in his head. (E)Instead, the process of his discovery is rather boring. Darwin studied countless different species of plants and animals across multiplecontinents for severaldecades. He took endless notes, drew pictures repeatedly, traveled around, talked to locals and other scientists, and then wrote in his journal about what he saw:all slow, repetitive work without any excitement.
达尔文至今仍是公认最具创新精神的科学家之一。但他研究自然选择时,从没有豁然开朗的顿悟瞬间,脑海里没有突然迸发的灵感。相反,他取得这一发现的过程十分枯燥。数十年来,达尔文穿梭各大洲,研究了无数动植物物种。他不停记笔记、反复绘图、四处走访,与当地人、其他学者交流,再把见闻记录在日记中:全程都是缓慢、重复、毫无惊喜的枯燥工作。
Be bored, not distracted.
接纳无聊,勿被琐事分心。
The most boring way to be less boring and more creative is boredom itself. Plato wrote that boredom is the mother of all invention. Modern society, with all its flashy devices, has gotten really good at distracting us from this boredom. But in the right environment, it's that very same boredom that fuels creative people. (G)So, rather than turning away from boredom, just use it to create something.
想要摆脱乏味、提升创意,最朴素的办法就是直面无聊。柏拉图写道,无聊是一切发明之母。现代社会满是花哨电子设备,总能轻易打消我们的无聊感。但在合适的状态下,恰恰是这份无聊,为创作者提供源源不断的动力。所以不要抗拒无聊,借着无聊去创作新事物。
A. Do “normal” things. 做平常普通的事
B. Besides, he was very hardworking. 除此之外,他十分勤奋
C. Engage inpositive and unusual activities. 参与积极且与众不同的活动
D. Yet, in reality, it turns out that creativity is a skill.然而事实上,创造力其实是一种技能
E. Instead, the process of his discovery is rather boring. 相反,他的发现过程相当枯燥
F. Creative people don't “find” time but put in the time to be creative. 有创造力的人不会挤时间,而是投入时间创作
G. So, rather than turning away from boredom, just use it to create something. 所以不要逃避无聊,利用无聊进行创作

解析+解题技巧
参考答案:D → A → F → E → G
【题型判定】
七选五(高考英语阅读理解第二节),全国卷、新高考卷必考题型。
【核心考点】
篇章结构:总分结构、小标题式行文、段落主旨匹配
逻辑关系:转折、因果、递进、并列、指代、同义复现
衔接手段:代词指代、逻辑连词、原词 / 近义词复现、句式呼应
主旨概括:匹配段落小标题、总结段意
【本题命题特点】
本文为说明文,主题:如何培养创造力。采用总 — 分结构,开篇引出观点,后文用三个小标题分述方法,中间穿插名人案例、名言佐证,是高考七选五经典选材模式。
【通用解题技巧】(适配本篇)
通读首段,抓中心明确文章主旨:创造力是可练习的技能,下文介绍提升方法。
区分小标题与主体段文中 (A) 为段落小标题,句式简短、概括性强,优先匹配段内例证内容。
抓逻辑标志词重点关注:yet, instead, so, but 等转折、总结词,锁定空处前后逻辑。
锁定指代关系留意
it, they, this, that等代词,往前寻找指代对象。原词 / 同义复现反复出现的
creative/creativity, boring/bored, time等词是解题线索。结合例证判断文中海明威、爱因斯坦、达尔文、柏拉图均为论据,服务对应段落主旨。
第1题
第 1 空 选 D
1. 原文定位
People usually consider creativity to be a rare gift that only geniuses possess. _______1_________.And like any of it, you can practice and get better at it.
空前:人们认为创造力是天才专属的稀有天赋)
空后:创造力可以通过练习提升
2. 应试技巧
逻辑关系解题法:转折逻辑优先高考七选五首段常设观点反转题型,空前是大众错误固有认知,空后是作者全新正确观点,中间必须用转折衔接词过渡。
同义复现解题法:核心词呼应全文主题词 creativity 贯穿首尾,正确选项必须复现主题核心词,锁定话题一致。
首尾总起结构法文章为总分结构,首段作用是推翻旧观点、提出新观点、引出下文方法,选项需具备总起过渡功能。
3. 解题分析
线索预判:空前关键词
rare gift(稀有天赋),强调 “天生拥有、不可习得”;空后关键词practice、get better(可练习、可提升),前后语义完全相反,必填转折句。选项匹配:D 项
Yet, in reality, it turns out that creativity is a skill.中 Yet(然而) 是高考高频转折逻辑词,完美破解前后语义冲突;同时复现核心词creativity,保证话题不跑偏。结构适配:该句完成 “大众误区→事实真相” 的转折,顺势引出下文一系列提升创造力的方法,完全贴合总分式说明文开篇行文逻辑。
4. 易错误区
切勿选择递进、因果类句子!若没有识别出前后正反对立逻辑,极易选错无转折关系的选项,这是高考首空最高频易错点。
第 2 题
第 2 空 选 A
1. 原文定位
空后整段:围绕海明威普通的职业、平凡的生活展开例证,论证天才并非特立独行。
2. 应试技巧
小标题特征解题法高考七选五小标题为短句祈使句、高度概括段落主旨、无复杂长难句,是独有识别特征。
例证反推主旨法段落论据(名人案例)完全服务于段落主旨,可通过后文案例内容,反向匹配小标题。
主旨匹配原则段落所有细节、例子必须紧扣选项核心语义,无无关信息。
3. 解题分析
案例拆解:后文核心信息
ordinary life、regular jobs(平凡生活、常规工作),全程围绕 “普通、平常” 展开,无任何关于灵感、时间、无聊的内容。选项匹配:A 项
Do “normal” things中 normal(普通的、平常的) 与后文ordinary、regular构成近义词复现,精准概括整段案例核心。结构适配:本文三段式并列小标题结构(做平凡的事、踏实做事、拥抱无聊),句式统一简短,符合高考小标题命题范式。
4. 易错误区
不要被
creative geniuses are strange迷惑!这句话是铺垫让步(天才看似特别),并非段落主旨,段落重心在But转折后的 “平凡普通”。
第3题
第 3 空 选 F
1. 原文定位
Focus on doing the work, not flashes of inspiration.
_______3_________.As Einstein once put it, “It's not that I'm so smart, I just sit with the problems longer.”
空前:小标题:专注做事,而非坐等灵感
空后:爱因斯坦名言,强调长期深耕问题、持续付出。
2. 应试技巧
段落主旨延续法小标题为本段核心主旨,空格句必须细化、支撑小标题观点,语义高度统一。
名言论据匹配法高考名人名言、俗语均为佐证前文观点,可通过名言含义反向锁定正确选项。
同义替换解题法抽象主旨(不坐等灵感)→ 具体做法(主动投入时间),属于高考经典主旨落地式衔接。
3. 解题分析
主旨提炼:小标题核心:创造力靠实干,不靠突发灵感。
名言解读:爱因斯坦名言核心
sit with the problems longer(长期钻研、持续投入),强调 “时间投入的重要性”。选项匹配:F 项
don't “find” time but put in the time(不抽空、而是主动投入时间),完美衔接小标题的 “实干”,同时精准呼应名言的 “长期付出”,形成「小标题 + 主旨句 + 名人论据」的完整逻辑链。
4. 易错误区
切勿选择和 “灵感、天赋” 相关的选项!本段核心是摒弃灵感侥幸,强调刻意练习和时间投入,偏离该核心均为错误选项。
第4题
第 4 空 选 E
1. 原文定位
There was no light bulb that went off in his head. ________4____________. Darwin studied countless different species of plants and animals across multiple continents for several decades.
空前:达尔文没有灵光一闪的顿悟时刻,没有突发灵感。
空后:详细描写达尔文数十年枯燥、重复、繁琐的研究工作。
2. 应试技巧
转折逻辑词定位法空前否定 “瞬间灵感、轻松创新”,空后肯定 “漫长枯燥过程”,前后反差强烈,Instead 专属适配场景。
语义递进细化法前句提出 “无顿悟时刻”,空格句需要承接并解释原因,衔接前后语义。
细节例证呼应法选项关键词
boring(枯燥的)与后文slow、repetitive、without excitement构成原词 + 同义复现。
3. 解题分析
逻辑预判:前句否定 “轻松创新”,后文描述 “枯燥过程”,中间需要转折过渡句衔接。
选项匹配:E 项
Instead, the process of his discovery is rather boring.中 Instead(相反) 精准承接前文否定内容;核心词boring总领后文所有繁琐工作的细节描写,起到承上启下的核心作用。逻辑闭环:无顿悟→相反过程很枯燥→具体枯燥的工作内容,三段式逻辑完全通顺,符合高考说明文细节叙事逻辑。
4. 易错误区
很多同学只看单句,忽略段落整体逻辑,误以为创新需要灵感,容易选错带有 “成功、天赋” 的干扰项,忽略全文 “创造力靠枯燥积累” 的核心观点。
第5题
第 5 空 选 G
1. 原文定位
But in the right environment, it's that very same boredom that fuels creative people. _________5_____________.
空前:无聊可以激发创造力,电子产品的分心会扼杀创意。
空后:So(因此)引导总结句,呼吁利用无聊创作。
2. 应试技巧
段尾总结衔接法位于段落倒数第二句,需要总结前文论据、铺垫最后结论,起到承上启下作用。
因果逻辑匹配法空后
So是结果,空格句必须是原因推导、观点升华,支撑末尾结论。原词复现解题法全程围绕核心主题词
boredom(无聊)展开,话题高度统一。
3. 解题分析
前文论据梳理:无聊是发明之母→现代设备让人逃避无聊→无聊能激发创意。
逻辑推导:前文论证了 “无聊有益、不应逃避”,空后总结 “要利用无聊创作”。
选项匹配:G 项语义 “不要逃避无聊,借助无聊创作”,完美承接前文的理论分析,同时直接引出
So的最终结论,因果逻辑闭环完整。
4. 易错误区
干扰项通常会出现 “远离电子设备、专注学习” 等无关内容,本段核心主体是 boredom(无聊),偏离核心话题的选项可直接排除。
