No satisfactory way exists to explain how to form a good idea. You think about a problem until you"re tired, forget it, maybe sleep on it, and then flash! When you aren"t thinking about it, suddenly the answer arrives as a gift from the gods.
Of course, all ideas don"t occur like that but so many do, particularly the most important ones. They burst into the mind, glowing with the heat of creation. How they do it is a mystery but they must come from somewhere. Let"s assume they come from the "unconscious." This is reasonable, for psychologists use this term to describe mental processes which are unknown to the individual. Creative thought depends on what was unknown becoming known.
All of us have experienced this sudden arrival of a new idea, but it is easiest to examine it in the great creative personalities, many of whom experienced it in an intensified form and have written it down in their life stories and letters. One can draw examples from genius in any field, from religion, philosophy, and literature to art and music, even in mathematics, science, and technical invention, although these are often thought to depend only on logic and experiment. All truly creative activities depend in some degree on these signals from the unconscious, and the more highly insightful the person is, the sharper and more dramatic the signals become.
A type of creative experience is illustrated by the dreams which came to Descartes at the age of twenty-three and determined his life path. Descartes had unsuccessfully searched for certainty, first in the world of books, and then in the world of men. Then in a dream on November 10, 1619, he made the significant discovery that he could only find certainty in his own thoughts, cogito ergo sum ("I think; therefore, I exist"). This dream filled him with intense religious enthusiasm.
Descartes" experience is representative of countless others in every field of culture. The unconscious is certainly the source of instinctive activity. But in creative thought the unconscious is responsible for the production of new organized forms from relatively disorganized elements.
小题1:Good ideas come from ________according to the writer.
A.the unconsciousB.creative activitiesC.dreamsD.logic and experiments
小题2:The underlined word “these” (paragraph 3) probably refers to __________.
A.philosophy, music, mathematics and science
B.religion, philosophy, literature, art and music
C.mathematics, science, and technical invention
D.both B and C
小题3:What point can we see in the example of Descartes ?
A.Dreams are the sources of instinctive activities.
B.Dreams sometimes contribute to important discoveries.
C.Geniuses have creative thoughts in their dreams.
D.Important discoveries are always made in dreams.
小题4: The best title for this passage may be __________.
A.The Unknown Becoming KnownB.The Role of Dreams
C.The Unconscious and Creative ActivitiesD.Birth of Bright Ideas

试题分析:
小题1:B 推理题。根据第三段最后两行All truly creative activities depend in some degree on these signals from the unconscious, and the more highly insightful the person is, the sharper and more dramatic the signals become. 说明好的思想往往来自于creative activities,故B正确。
小题2:C 推理题。根据One can draw examples from genius in any field, from religion, philosophy, and literature to art and music, even in mathematics, science, and technical invention, although these are often thought to depend only on logic and experiment说明这里的these是指前句的mathematics, science, and technical invention故C正确。
小题3:D 推理题。根据倒数第二段1,2行A type of creative experience is illustrated by the dreams which came to Descartes at the age of twenty-three and determined his life path说明很多创造性的经历可能都是从梦境中出现的。故D正确。
小题4:A 主旨大意题。文章主要讲述的是人们在梦境中或者无意识中的一些行为行动最终会变成现实,为人所知。故A正确。
点评:文章主要讲述的是人们在梦境中或者无意识中的一些行为行动最终会变成现实,为人所知。以推理题的考查为主,不能以自己的观点代替作者的观点,最主要的方法是根据词义关系推断具体细节。

Electric cars are dirty. In fact, not only are they dirty, they might even be more dirty than their gasoline-powered cousins.
People in California love to talk about “zero-emissions(排放)vehicles”, but people in California seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from. Power plants most all use fire to make it. Apart from the few people who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators(发电机). Generators are fueled by something--usually coal, oil, but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants. There are a few wind farms and geothermal(地热) plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something.
In other words, those "zero-emissions" cars are likely coal-burning cars. Because the coal is burned somewhere else, it looks clean. It is not true. It"s as if the California Greens are covering their eyes—“If I can"t see it, it"s not happening.”  Gasoline is an incredibly efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it. But when you take that gas(or another fuel)and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heat--at the generator, through the transmission lines, etc.
A gallon of gas may drive your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won"t get you nearly as far -- so electric cars burn more fuel than gasoline-powered ones. If our electricity came mostly from wind or geothermal, or solar, then an electric car truly would be clean. But for political, technical, and economic reasons, we don"t use much of those energy sources.
  In addition, electric cars" batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill. And finally, when cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads. When it"s a power plant, though,all the junk is in one place. Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot.
小题1:What’s the main idea of the passages?
A.Electric cars aren’t actually clean.
B.Electric cars are zero-emissions vehicles.
C.Zero-emissions vehicles are popular.
D.Gasoline-powered cars are more efficient.
小题2:Which of the following words can replace “be clueless about” in Paragraph 2?
A.Be familiar with.
B.Be curious about.
C.Fail to understand.
D.Show their interest in.
小题3:The electricity we get from a gallon of gas may make our car run _________.
A.at least 25 miles
B.more than 25 miles
C.as far as 25 miles
D.less than 25 miles
小题4:In the author’s opinion, compared with cars using gas, electric cars are more __________.
A.environmentally-friendlyB.expensive
C.efficientD.harmful
小题5:It can be inferred from the passage that __________.
A.electric cars" batteries are poisonous for a long time
B.now electric cars are used more than their gasoline-powered cousins
C.zero-emissions vehicles should be chosen to protect our environment
D.electric cars are not clean in that we get electricity mainly by burning something
