Ⅰ. 阅读理解
If you believe that scientists and artists are most creative when they're
young, you are missing an important part of the story. A new study published
in De Economist looked at Nobel Prize winners in the field of economics. It
found there are two different peaks of creativity. One comes early in a person's
career, while another comes later.
The research supports previous work by the authors that found similar
patterns in the arts and other sciences.
“We believe what we found in this study isn't limited to economics, but
could apply to creativity more generally，” said Bruce Weinberg, lead author
of the study and professor of economics at The Ohio State University.
“Many people believe that creativity is exclusively associated with youth,
but it really depends on what kind of creativity you're talking about.”
In the study, those who did their most groundbreaking work early in their
careers tended to be “conceptual” innovators (创新者)．
These type of innovators “think outside the box”， challenging conventional
wisdom and suddenly coming up with new ideas. Conceptual innovators are
not yet immersed(沉浸于)in the accepted theories of their field, Weinberg said.
But there is another kind of creativity, he said, which is found among
“experimental” innovators. These innovators accumulate knowledge through their
careers and find new ways to understand it.
The long periods of trial and error for important experimental innovations
come later in a Nobel laureate's (荣誉获得者的) career.
“Whether you hit your creative peak early or late in your career depends
on whether you have a conceptual or experimental approach，” Weinberg said.
The researchers took a novel, empirical (经验主义的) approach to the study,
which involved 31 laureates. They arranged the laureates on a list from the most
experimental to most conceptual.This ranking was based on the laureates' most important work, classifying
them into “conceptual” or “experimental”．
After classifying the laureates, the researchers determined the age at which
each laureate made his most important contribution to economics and could be
considered at his creative peak.
They found that conceptual laureates peaked between ages 25 and 29.
Experimental laureates peaked when they were roughly twice as old, in their
mid50s.
“Our research suggests that when you're most creative is more about
how you approach your work，” Weinberg said.
1. What does the underlined phrase “think outside the box” mean?
A. Follow rules strictly.
B. Experiment on boxes.
C. Break old thought patterns.
D. Figure out how to escape from a box.
2. What do we know about “experimental” innovators?
A. They usually come up with new ideas all of a sudden.
B. They make discoveries through constant trial and error.
C. The majority of them reach their creative peak in their twenties.
D. They make more contributions than “conceptual” innovators.
3. What do the researchers believe determines someone's creative peak?
A. One's personality type.
B. What kind of job one takes.
C. How one handles their work.
D. One's attitude towards their work.
4. What's the main idea of this passage?
A. Creativity comes at any age, young or old.
B. Creativity tends to decrease as people get older.
C. Economists, artists and other scientists have much in common.
D. Economists are more creative than artists and other scientists.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了通过对一些诺贝尔奖获得者事
业生涯的研究，发现人的创造力会有两种峰值，这取决于你是哪种类型的创新者，
是“概念性的”的创新者还是“实验性的”创新者。1. C 词义猜测题。在画线短语所在的句子中，后面的非谓语动词部分
“challenging conventional wisdom and suddenly coming up with new ideas”是对画
线短语的补充解释，意思为“挑战传统智慧，突然想出新点子”，也就是勇于突破
一些旧的思维模式。故选C。
2. B 细节理解题。根据第七段内容可知，“实验性”的创新者是从不断的
反复实验中获得发现。故选B。
3. C 细节理解题。根据最后一段内容可知，研究人员认为，决定你什么时候
达到创造力巅峰的是你如何处理你的工作。此题是语义转换，“how you approach
your work”和选项C中的“How one handles their work”是语义转换。故选C。
4. A 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“It found there are two different peaks of
creativity. One comes early in a person's career, while another comes later.”及倒数第
二段内容可知，文章主要是说明创造力巅峰可以出现在任何年龄，可能在年轻的
时候，也可能是年老的时候。什么时候出现创造力巅峰与你如何处理你的工作有
关。故选A。
Ⅱ. 完形填空
The lions and leopards (豹) of a national park in India normally do not get

The 2monthold baby with brown ears and blue eyes was 3 ， and the
lioness spent weeks nursing, 4 and caring for him until he died. She treated him

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个公园中一只母狮子收
养了一只两个月大的小豹子，母狮子花了几个星期的时间来照料它，喂养它，直
到它死去。她对待他就像对待自己两个儿子一样。这是一个罕见的野生跨物种领
养案例。

知，这两个物种之间存在一定的相似性。故选B。
12. A 根 据 上 文 “ Until they reach young adulthood, when social
differences”可知，直到狮子和豹子进入成年期，它们的社会差异才会显现出来。

Ⅲ. 概要写作
(2020·浙江杭州地区重点中学期中考试)阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇
60词左右的内容概要。
US psychotherapist (精神治疗师) Virginia Satir (1916－1988) once said, “We
need 4 hugs a day for survival. We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance. We
need 12 hugs a day for growth.” She believed that hugging was necessary and
important. Researchers have found scientific evidence that backs up her beliefs.
According to a recent study published in the journal Psychological Science,receiving a hug can reduce stress and help protect us from illness.
In the study, researchers from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in the US
invited 404 healthy adults to participate in interviews about how often they
experienced conflicts in their daily lives, as well as how many hugs they received
within a period of two weeks. These participants were intentionally exposed to cold
viruses during the interview.
According to the research, people who received hugs on the same days
when they experienced conflicts tended to report fewer negative feelings during
the following days. They have also found that people who received hugs were less
stressed out. The physical contact that we get through hugging especially from loved
ones is a marker of intimacy (亲密) and helps generate the feeling that others are
there to help in the face of adversity (困境), according to Scientific American.
People feel more comfortable and relaxed after hugging.
The researchers have also found that the more hugs people get, the less
likely they are to catch colds, Science Daily noted. When people receive hugs,
they release more oxytocin (催产素), which is also known as the “love
hormone”. According to the researchers, this hormone can decrease one's
heart rate and lower blood pressure. This can put people into a state of
emotional wellbeing. When people are in this state, their immune systems become
stronger.
Of course, hugging is not the only way to comfort others. “But physical
contact like hugging can comfort people without making any judgments (about
right or wrong)，” Michael Murphy from CMU told Time.

【参考范文】
The necessity and significance of hugging are confirmed by a recentstudy. In the study, participants were asked about their conflict experiences and
the hugs they received during two weeks with exposure to cold viruses at the same
time. As the study suggests, hugs, which are of great benefit for us, can help us
get away from negative feelings and release stress. The study also finds
hugging can strengthen people's immune systems, reducing the possibility of
developing illnesses. It is surely an ideal way to give us comfort by hugging.
