21、 Discoveries in science and technology are thought by “untaught minds” to come in blinding flashes or as the result of dramatic accidents. Sir Alexander Fleming did not, as legend would have it, look at the mold (霉) on a piece of cheese and get the idea for penicillin there and then. He experimented with antibacterial substances for nine years before he made his discovery. Inventions and innovations almost always come out of tough trial and error. Innovation is like soccer; even the best players miss the goal and have their shots blocked much more frequently than they score.
The point is that the players who score most are the ones who take most shots at the goal—and so it goes with innovation in any field of activity. The prime difference between innovation and others is one of approach. Everybody gets ideas, but innovators work consciously on theirs, and they follow them through until they prove practicable or otherwise. What ordinary people see as fanciful abstractions, professional innovators see as solid possibilities.
“Creative thinking may mean simply the realization that there’s no particular goodness in doing things the way they have always been done.” Wrote Rudolph Flesch, a language authority. This accounts for our reaction to seemingly simple innovations like plastic garbage bags and suitcases on wheels that make life more convenient: “How come nobody thought of that before?”
The creative approach begins with the proposal that nothing be as it appears. Innovators will not accept that there is only one way to do anything. Faced with getting from A to B, the average person will automatically set out on the best-known and apparently simplest route. The innovator will search for alternate courses, which may prove easier in the long run and are sure to be more interesting and challenging even if they lead to dead ends. Highly creative individuals really do march to a different drummer.
【1】What does the author probably mean by “untaught mind” in the first paragraph?
A.An individual who often comes up with new ideas by accident.
B.A person who has had no education.
C.A citizen of a society that restricts personal creativity.
D.A person ignorant of the hard work involved in experimentation.
【2】According to the author, what differs innovators from non-innovators?
A.The way they present their findings. B.The way they deal with problems.
C.The intelligence they possess. D.The variety of ideas they have.
【3】The phrase “march to a different drummer” (the last line of the passage) suggests that highly creative individuals are ________.
A.unwilling to follow common ways of doing things
B.diligent in pursuing their goals
C.concerned about the advance of society
D.devoted to the progress of science
【4】The most suitable title for this passage might be ________.
A.The Relation Between Creation and Diligence
B.To Be a Creative Expert in the Study of Human Creativity
C.What Are So Special about Creative Individuals
D.Discoveries and Innovation
22、Lego is considering a brick rental plan in an attempt to cut down on plastic waste. The Danish toymaker has promised to make all its bricks from sustainable sources by 2030 and is investing significant resources into finding alternatives.
Tim Brooks, vice-president responsible for sustainability, said the company was “totally open” to the idea of a product rental plan but admitted that lost pieces could produce a significant problem. He said the rental scheme was "possible" but admitted there were some "technical barriers", one of which is the complexity of some Lego sets, many of which contain thousands of pieces. "What are the chances of giving them to an eight-year-old child and getting them all back again?" Mr Brooks added.
Lego has come under increasing pressure to reduce its carbon footprint among growing international alarm about the impact of plastic waste on the environment. Lego reportedly gives off around a million tons of carbon dioxide each year, with about three-quarters coming from raw materials that go into factories. It produces 19 billion pieces per year—36,000 a minute—that are made of plastic and much of the inner packaging is also plastic.
So far, the only breakthrough has been the development of a line of bricks made from plant-based plastic sourced from sugarcane. The green trees, plants and flowers were first included in Lego sets late last year but account for only one-two percent of the total amount of plastic elements produced.
Henrik Ostergaard Nielson, a production administrator in Lego's factory, told the New York Times last year, “We need to learn again how to do this. The company has invested more than €100, 000,000 and hired 100 people to research non-plastic alternatives. It is aiming to keep all of its packaging reusable by 2025.”
【1】What is the aim of Lego’s brick rental plan?
A．To cut down on its costs.
B．To reduce plastic waste.
C．To seek alternative resources.
D．To deal with technical barriers.
【2】What is Tim Brooks' attitude towards the toy rental scheme?
A．Negative.
B．Confident.
C．Ambiguous.
D．Objective.
【3】What method is mainly used in the last three paragraph?
A．Listing figures
B．Making comparisons
C．Giving examples
D．Giving definition
【4】What can we know from the last paragraphs?
A．Lego will not make new products after 2025.
B．Lego has already bought non-plastic alternatives.
C．Lego is making efforts for eco-friendly products
D．Lego's green technology is relatively backward.

24、When you are overwhelmed, you feel like things are too many to deal with. Everyone gets overwhelmed from time to time, but you can still do something to handle this negative emotion. 【1】
Slow it down.
The first thing you need to do when you feel flooded or overwhelmed is to slow everything down. 【2】 You will have more time to focus on the present and thus do things more leisurely. The experience of being overwhelmed can feel very chaotic and out of control, but when you slow it down, you are reclaiming control over the experience.
【3】
If you’re wondering how to get your life together, it’s time to reflect on what led to the stress. Reflecting is great because it helps you sort through the data you have received from being overwhelmed. Taking the time to understand the data will also help you better understand what your body is trying to tell you if you meet with these situations again in the future.
Release, regroup, and redirect.
It’s easier said than done, but when it comes to feeling overwhelmed, the best thing you can do is let it go. The release of the source of feeling overwhelmed is critical to the “getting my life back together” component of this process. 【4】 Regrouping is important because it allows you to close the feedback loop(循环)on all the slowing down, stepping back, reflecting and releasing. It allows you to hit the reset button, and with all you know now, you can move forward in a prepared and empowered manner. Lastly, you should redirect. 【5】 Even if your trajectory(轨道)only slightly altered its course, that’s OK! What is important is that you have processed integrated, and learned from your life so that you are better prepared for the future and more equipped to face it.
A．Step back and reflect.
B．Express what you are truly feeling and thinking.
C．When you slow down, it is as if you have put the brakes on.
D．This doesn’t necessarily mean you must move in a totally new direction.
E．Another thing you have to do before getting your life back together is regroup.
F．Rethinking about your previous mistakes might give you clues to avoid them in the future.
G．Here are some tips to help you get your life back together when you feel completely overwhelmed.
