Question

【題目】

Blind imitation(模仿）is destroying yourself. To common people, imitation appears attractive; to creative people ,imitation is misleading.

In the early stages of skill or character(性格）development, imitation is helpful, When I first learned to cook, I used recipes and really cooked some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why did I have to follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role models(榜樣） is like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle. They help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without depending on them.

In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we hold poor role models. As a child, if you watched people whose lives pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you’ll get the results of the weak choices of others.

In the field of entertainment, our culture appreciates famous people. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be awful. If you are going to follow someone, concentrate on their talent, not their bad character or behaviors.

People like the person who is willing to act on their sudden inspiration to create something particular. Think of the things and people that have affected you most deeply. They moved you because their creations were caused by inspiration, not desperation(絕望）. The world is changed not by those who do similar work before them but by those who do cretive work. Creative people are full of new ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; It is what to do with the material to knock at the door of imagination.

Study your role models, accept the gifts they have given and leave behind what does not serve you. Then you can say, “If I have announced my success, it’s by learning lessons from my ancestors’ failure.”

試題分析：這篇短文主要講述的是模仿雖然在早期能起到作用，但是在后期效果并不明顯，甚至可能會反過來起反作用。每個人都有創(chuàng)造性的思維，創(chuàng)造性的思維給自己，也給世界帶來變化，它促使世界的進步。因此，這篇文章告誡我們模仿要適當，不要盲目，時不時的進行創(chuàng)新，尤其把思想融入現(xiàn)實是很有必要的。【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中第二段In the early stages of skill or character(性格）development, imitation is helpful,可知只有在早期的時候模仿才會有用，故選C。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中第三段“In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we hold poor role models. ” “If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you’ll get the results of the weak choices of others.”可知人要選擇正確的榜樣才會不傷害自己，對自己有好處。故選B。

【3】細節(jié)判斷題。根據(jù)文中第四段“The world is changed not by those who do similar work before them but by those who do creative work.”可知世界是由那些做創(chuàng)造性工作，有創(chuàng)造性思維的的人改變的，而這些人滿腦子都是新思想，新東西。故選A。

【4】細節(jié)判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第一段“The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; It is what to do with the material to knock at the door of imagination.”可知一位有創(chuàng)造性思維的人面臨的難題關(guān)鍵在于如何用原料敲響想象的大門。Problem和trouble意思相近，可知選D。

【5】主旨大意題。通過全篇文章可知是由imitation引入creativity，全文主要圍繞creativity講述，故選C。
