1、2012高考英語：閱讀理解課堂練學(xué)案（29）Passage Nineteen (Creative Process of Works)The great question that this paper will, but feebly, attempt to answer is , what is the creative process?Though much theory has accumulated, little is really known about the power that lies at the bottom of poetic creation. It is true

2、 that great poets and artists produce beauty by employing all the powers of personality and by fusing emotions, reason, and intuitions. But what is the magical synthesis that joins and arranges these complex parts into poetic unity?John L.Lowes, in his justly famous “The Road to Xanadu,” developed o

3、ne of the earliest and still generally acceptable answers to this tantalizing question. Imaginative creation, he concludes, is a complex process in which the conscious and unconscious minds jointly operate. “There isthe deep well with its chaos of fortuitously blending images; but there is likewise

4、the Vision which sees shining in and through the chaos of the potential lines of Form, and with the Vision, the controlling Will. Which gives to that potential beauty actuality.”The Deep Well is the unconscious mind that is peopled with the facts, ideas, feelings of the conscious activity. The imagi

5、native vision, an unconscious activity, shines through the land of chaos, of lights and shadows, silently seeking pattern and form. Finally, the conscious mind again, through Will, captures and embodies the idea in the final work of art. In this way is unity born out of chaos.Though there can be no

6、absolute certainty, there is general agreement that the periods in the development of a creative work parallel, to some extent, Lowes theory of Well, Vision, Form, and Will. There are at least three stages in the creative process: preparation, inspiration, work. In a sense, the period of preparation

7、 is all of the writers life. It is the Deep Well. It is the Deep Well. It is especially a period of concentration which gives the unconscious mind an opportunity to communicate with the conscious mind. When remembrance of things past reach the conscious level of the writers mind, he is ready to go o

8、n with the process. Part of this preparation involves learning a mediumlearning a language, learning how to write, learning literary forms.

18、the vision, 卻是狀語。Which gives 又是定從，修飾Will.參考譯文 有那充滿了混亂的偶然交織在一起的形象的深靜；但同樣也有那洞察力，看到在混亂中熠熠生輝的潛在的形式線索，由于有這樣的洞察力便有那控制一切的意志把潛在的美變成真實(shí)的（詩歌）篇章。4.      lights and shadows       藝術(shù)上有 light and shade  明和暗。這里也是指明和暗。寫作方法與文章大意   文章論述“創(chuàng)作過程”。開門見山就提出“什么是創(chuàng)作”。主要是引用了羅斯的Ro

19、ad to Xanadu 一書來說明創(chuàng)作過程。首先是創(chuàng)作的源泉，洞察分辨，最后意志賦予寫作。答案祥解1.      D. 意志。第三段倒數(shù)第二句“最終又是意識(shí)的思維，通過意志，在其最終的藝術(shù)作品中捕捉和體現(xiàn)了這種思想觀念”。第五段第三句：“當(dāng)作者回溯以往事情達(dá)到了有意識(shí)的水平時(shí)，他就具備（準(zhǔn)備）了繼續(xù)創(chuàng)作進(jìn)程的條件。這種準(zhǔn)備工作中有一部分涉及學(xué)習(xí)媒介學(xué)習(xí)一種語言，學(xué)習(xí)如何寫，學(xué)習(xí)文學(xué)形式。”第二段都體現(xiàn)了意志是有意識(shí)思維的集中表現(xiàn)。A. 源泉，來源，顧名思義，也是最初的東西。     B. 洞察力，視覺。     C.形式。

20、這三項(xiàng)選擇在第二，三段集中說明，見難句譯注3及第四題答案。2.      B. 思想觀念決定形式。這在最后一段倒數(shù)第四句：部分準(zhǔn)備工作涉及學(xué)習(xí)媒介學(xué)習(xí)語言，學(xué)習(xí)如何寫，學(xué)習(xí)文學(xué)形式之后“這里要注意文學(xué)形式不能強(qiáng)加于思想觀念。有證據(jù)，雖然很少，表明思想觀念產(chǎn)生適合傳遞它的文學(xué)形式。A. 形式?jīng)Q定主題。      C. 形象使美變得真實(shí)。      D. 作者在準(zhǔn)備寫作時(shí)處于無意識(shí)狀態(tài)。難句譯注3和第四題答案都說明了這三項(xiàng)選擇是不對(duì)的。3.      A.  偶然的。B

21、. 幸運(yùn)的，fortuitously一詞確實(shí)有幸運(yùn)的之義。但這里上下文含義是A，見難句譯注3。C. 徹底的，透徹的。         D. 潛在的，可能的。4.      A. 深井（深層的源泉）。見難句譯注3和第三句“深層的源泉是無意識(shí)思維，內(nèi)中塞滿了各種事實(shí)，觀點(diǎn)，意識(shí)活動(dòng)的情感。富有想象力的洞察力是一種無意識(shí)的活動(dòng)，在雜亂的土壤中閃爍光輝，忽明忽暗，默默的探索模式和形式。最后，又是有意識(shí)的思維，通過意志。”這里說明回溯過去是在深井階段進(jìn)行。B. 視覺，是在探索表現(xiàn)形式。 C. 雜亂的光亮和陰影，明面和暗面。

24、from indoor life. Consider the charisma of the name alone: INTERPOL, the international police force. Continents leaped in a single bound, oceans crossed in the space of a breath, villains watched by eyes that never sleep. Surprisingly, a lot of it happens almost that way.Four groups coordinate and d

25、irect the activities of Interpol. One of them is the National Central Bureaus, or NCBs, bodies designated by the member nations to serve as their link with Interpol. These are the front-line troops, the action people. IN the United States, the Treasury Department is the National Central Bureau. In t

26、he United Kingdom, it is Scotland Yard; the Questura in Italy and the Melbourne City Police in Australia. Because police organization varies from country, the NCBs were established to act as the one special group to handle Interpol chores and unsure maximum cooperation between nations. Each NCB is u

27、sually an official government body with police powers if a country has only one central police authority, that body becomes the National Centre Bureau. Of course, any service appointed as an NCB is bound to its nations law and authority and retains its national title.Each NCB is connected by radio t

Network stations can monitor the Central station or any regional station. Because of this messages can be broadcast to more than one station at a time

Besides, other communication tools, such as radio-teleprinters and phototelegraphy equipment. Permit rapid transfers of fingerprints and photographs. Sometimes ever more advanced techno

50、ks are sallow from indoor life.結(jié)構(gòu)簡析 這是兩個(gè)句子，都是引導(dǎo)詞there句型。參考譯文 這里肯定能見到和罪犯斗爭的冷酷無情的斗士在國際刑警組織工作，同樣可以肯定，這里有那些懶洋洋的人在翻動(dòng)如山的文件檔案，他們的臉頰由于室內(nèi)生活而消瘦如刀。3.      Continents leaped in a single bound, oceans crossed in the space of a breath, villains watched by eyes that never sleep.結(jié)構(gòu)簡析 這是省略句。正常句型應(yīng)該是Con

51、tinents are leaped in，Oceans are crossed in, villains are watched by 。參考譯文 大洲可一步跨過。大洋可以在轉(zhuǎn)眼之間越過，壞蛋可以由日夜不眠的眼睛緊盯著。4.      These are the front-line troops, the action people.參考譯文 這些人是前線軍，具體行動(dòng)的人（執(zhí)行人）。寫作方法與文章大意這是一篇介紹國際刑警組織的文章。采用一般到具體的寫作方法。頭二段是對(duì)國際刑警組織的一般介紹，后面是具體到NCB，組成國際刑警組織四個(gè)部門之一國家中心局是各國負(fù)責(zé)和
