We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way. First this involves an awareness of our surroundings. It means using all of our sese to become aware of our world. This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture, as well as taste, when we plan a meal. Above all, it is the ability to notice things that others might miss.
A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things. I f we believe the expression, “There is nothing new under the sun,” the creativ ity is remaking or recombining the old in new ways. For example, we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture, or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters to cr eate an unusual photograph.
A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ide as, to apply them to achieve some new results. To think up a new concept is one thing; to put the idea to work is another.
These three parts of creativity are involved in all the great works of genius, but they are also involved in many of our day to day activities.

參考答案：
26.答案C。本題可用排除法。根據第一段可知創(chuàng)造力的含 義是“使事物產生”，“致使事物存在”。而它三個方面的表現可參考“短文大意”，據此，C為正確答案。
27.答案B。此題的解答需要在理解文章大意及細節(jié)基礎上進行。選項B意為“創(chuàng)造力在一定程度上取決于非凡的洞察力。”根據最后一段，可知這是一種“天賦”，故正確。這樣就可確定B為正確答案。
28.答案C。此題可在正確理解句子含義的基礎上采取“排除法”來解答。根據上下文可以得知：此句的真正含義是“任何新事物的產生都是建立在原有事物基礎之上的”。據此，A項認為“我們很少能創(chuàng)造新事物”，顯然只是句子的字面意思，不正確。B項“創(chuàng)造新事物 是一個神話”，也為字面理解。再看C項“只有在原有事物基礎之上才能創(chuàng)造新事物”，這不正是我們分析得出的結論嗎?而D項“我們幾乎不可能看到新事物”，更是差之甚遠。這樣就 可確定C項為正確答案無疑。
29.答案C。先找有關細節(jié)。此問題涉及到對文章第三段最 后一句的理解。作者認為“獲得新思想并不意味著就能夠將其付諸實踐，暗含“知易行難”的意義。這樣，我們就可對 選項進行分析選棄了。這樣就可確定C 為正確答案無疑。
30.答案B。首先快速通讀全文(注意主題句)，可知文章主 要談論的是“創(chuàng)造力的含義及其三個方面的表現”，整篇文章都是圍繞創(chuàng)造力展開的?，F在來分析選項。這樣就可確定，B項為正確答案。
