24、Is imagination more important than knowledge?

Berlin, 1929. The superstar physicist, Albert Einstein talked about how he accounted for his discoveries. “I’m enough of an artist to draw freely on my imagination, which I think is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”

Knowledge versus imagination. Einstein’s aphorism（格言）reflects a repeated theme in human thought. The ancient dichotomy（对立）between what we know and what we imagine is found in every field of human intellectual achievement. Imagination often belongs to artists and geniuses, while knowledge, which results from a brush with reality, is black—and—white, logical—the field of people like accountants. Our view of which is more important depends on our personality.

Like many dichotomies, this one is an oversimplification. We know that the brilliance of many great artists was grounded in years of hard training; and that excitingly imaginative museums and highly creative accountants do exist. In fact, we have always relied on a blend of imagination and knowledge. Both are valuable. What then is the relationship between them?

Knowledge is often considered a stepping stone to imagination. It is a stored and shared treasury of publicly acceptable thoughts, many frozen into physical symbols（written or spoken）. Knowledge coded, stored and expressed using symbols can be broken up and put together again in various new combinations（结合）. It is this act of recombination which underlies the power to imagine. Our imagination is and must be grounded in our knowledge. The more memories we gain, the more material we have to work with, the richer are the fruits of our imagination.

Another way of thinking about the balance between imagination and knowledge is to consider each as private or public, individual or group. Knowledge strengthens group bonding, but the rise of new knowledge, for example, in the sciences can put a group’s very existence（存在）at risk. Imagination can challenge rules and traditions;yet shared acts of imagination can also help to strengthen intra-group bonds. The greatest acts of imagination—from Bach’s Cello Suites to Star Wars movies—require not only creation but admiration: they depend on being heard, seen and understood within a cultural environment.

In today’s world, we seem increasingly to prefer imagination, but that preference is culture—dependent. Imagination flourishes when its products are highly valued. In other words, the better people’s lives are, the more freedom to creativity. However, during times of difficulty or danger, shared knowledge, also known as “culture” or “tradition”, may be valued more. Resources previously put into artistic creativity may be channeled（输送）into efforts to make things better, leading to reduced artistic output. This brings us to another view of the relationship between knowledge and imagination: its dynamic nature.

So was Einstein right? Is imagination more important than knowledge? It depends on whom you ask, what you ask about, and when.

【1】Why does the writer mention Albert Einstein’s aphorism at first?

A．To show the importance of imagination.

B．To disagree with Albert Einstein’s opinion.

C．To bring out the question of which is more important.

D．To explain why Albert Einstein made great discoveries.

【2】According to the writer, what’s the relationship between knowledge and imagination?

A．The knowledge we get is a result of our imagination.

B．We build imagination when we reorganize some knowledge.

C．We can better understand the knowledge through imagination.

D．The combination of knowledge and imagination creates power.

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A．Both knowledge and imagination can become a test to a certain group.

B．Imagination is personally different while knowledge is shared socially.

C．People are better at imagination if they value their culture and tradition.

D．Artistic creations increase peoples’ admiration in a cultural environment.

【4】The underlined word “dynamic” in Paragraph 6 probably means ________.

A．constantly changing

B．especially confusing

C．surprisingly similar

D．highly positive
