专题技能突破(6)
【技能讲解】 位于不同位置的句子往往有不同的功能和特点，因此可根据不同的位置来确定需要什么样的句子。,1.如果问题在首段，通常是范围较宽的，不包含下文具体段落中详细内容的句子，但能统领全文的内容；,2.如果问题设在首段以后的段首，通常是主题句。可根据本段内容总结出主题句，而且参照其它段的首句，找出既能在意思上符合，又能在形式上符合的句子；,3.如果问题设在段尾，通常是结论性、概括性的语句，要么跟段首呼应，要么跟文章中心呼应；,4.如果问题设在段中，那么既要看上句，还要看下句，找到一个能和上下句都有关系的句子。典例剖析[2015·课标全国卷]
Building Trust in a Relationship Again
Trust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences. __1__ Trust is a risk. But you can't be successful when there's a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake.
Unfortunately, we've all been victims of betrayal. Whether we've been stolen from, lied to, misled, or cheated on, there are different levels of losing trust. Sometimes people simply can't trust anymore. __2__ It's understandable, but if you're willing to build trust in a relationship again, we have some steps you can take to get you there.
●__3__ Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best outcome would be for your wellbeing.
●__4__ If you've been betrayed, you are the victim of your circumstance. But there's a difference between being a victim and living with a “victim mentality”. At some point in all of our lives, we'll have our trust tested or violated.
●You didn't lose “everything”. Once trust is lost, what is left? Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle, look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life. __5__ Instead, it's a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness.
A．Learn to really trust yourself.
B．It is putting confidence in someone.
C．Stop regarding yourself as the victim.
D．Remember that you can expect the best in return.
E．They've been too badly hurt and they can't bear to let it happen again.
F．This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships.
G．Seeing the positive side of things doesn't mean you're ignoring what happened.
[答案] 1.B 根据上句“信任是我们从过去的经历中获取的一种行为。”和下句“信任是一种冒险。”可知，此空填B，本句是对第一句话的进一步解释：“信任是信赖某人。”
2．E 上句“有时，人们简直无法再信任(别人)了。”；下句“这是可以理解的”，由此可推测本句应是解释人们无法信任某人的原因。故填E。
3．A 由下句“对自己有信心能帮助你做出更好的选择”可知，前一句应是“学会真正信任自己。”，故填A。
4．C 由本段最后一句“在我们生活中的某些时候，我们的信任会被检验或打破。”可知，此处应填C，意为“不要认为自己是个受害者。”
5．G 副词“Instead”表示转折。可推测这里应是“看到事物积极的一面并不意味着你无视已经发生的事。”故填G。

How to Be Creative
Most of us think that creativity is a quality belonging only to artists, writers, or dancers, rather than ourselves. __1__ The following tips are a great beginning for developing our creativity.
1．Get out of your comfort zone
We eagerly accept the familiar and fear the unknown. Break out of your usual patterns and welcome creativity into your life. As stated earlier, the human brain was designed to recognize patterns. __2__ In fact, our comfort zone is nothing more than a collection of patterns. As we become more efficient at recognizing and using patterns, we rely less on creativity to find new paths. We should force ourselves out of our comfort zones and open up new possibilities.
2．Try different things
If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got. We are creatures of habits and routines, and creativity hates routines. If you usually drive to work, take the subway for a few days. __3__ Interrupt your routine, experiment and try something new. New things are often creative, but the same old thing never is.
3．__4__
Having a great idea is not enough; you must work to make it a reality. Have you ever seen a new product and realized that you thought of the same thing long ago? Yet someone else is making money with “your” idea. __5__ The difference between a dreamer and a doer is action.
Do whatever it takes to bring your ideas to life. If you can put them into practice, you are well on your way to improving your creativity in all areas of your life.
A．Take action
B．Seek several options
C．Think from the other person's point of view.
D．If you normally eat in the office, have lunch under a tree.
E．The truth is that we are all born with the capacity to be creative.
F．We continue to create patterns and routines for almost everything we do.
G．We all have great ideas sometimes, but only a few people turn their ideas into realities.
本文主要介绍了一些培养创造力的技巧。
1．E'根据空后的“The following tips are a great beginning for developing our creativity”可知，事实上，我们是天生有创造力的，问题是如何开发这些创造力，所以选E项。
2．F'根据上下文的“Break out of your usual patterns”“to recognize patterns”和“a collection of patterns”可知，应选F项。
3．D'根据空前的一句和空后的“Interrupt your routine，experiment and try something new”可推知，我们应有所创新，打破常规，因此选D项。
4．A'根据下文的“The difference between a dreamer and a doer is action”可知，有了梦想后，最重要的是要立即行动，所以选A项。
5．G'根据上文中的“Having a great idea is not enough; you must work to make it a reality”与下文中的“The difference between a dreamer and a doer is action”可知，应选G项，G项起承上启下的作用。
