(2021全国乙,D)
During an interview for one of my books, my interviewer said something I still think about often. Annoyed by the level of distraction(干扰) in his open office, he said, “That's why I have a membership at the coworking space across the street—so I can focus.” His comment struck me as strange. After all, coworking spaces also typically use an open office layout(布局). But I recently came across a study that shows why his approach works.
The researchers examined various levels of noise on participants as they completed tests of creative thinking. They were randomly divided into four groups and exposed to various noise levels in the background, from total silence to 50 decibels(分贝), 70 decibels, and 85 decibels. The differences between most of the groups were statistically insignificant; however, the participants in the 70 decibels group—those exposed to a level of noise similar to background chatter in a coffee shop—significantly outperformed the other groups. Since the effects were small, this may suggest that our creative thinking does not differ that much in response to total silence and 85 decibels of background noise.
But since the results at 70 decibels were significant, the study also suggests that the right level of background noise—not too loud and not total silence—may actually improve one's creative thinking ability. The right level of background noise may interrupt our normal patterns of thinking just enough to allow our imaginations to wander, without making it impossible to focus. This kind of “distracted focus” appears to be the best state for working on creative tasks.
So why do so many of us hate our open offices The problem may be that, in our offices, we can't stop ourselves from getting drawn into others' conversations while we're trying to focus. Indeed, the researchers found that face-to-face interactions and conversations affect the creative process, and yet a coworking space or a coffee shop provides a certain level of noise while also providing freedom from interruptions.

Writing an essay is a difficult process for most people. However, the process can be made easier if you learn to practice three simple techniques.
1 When you are first trying to think of ideas for an essay, put your pen to your paper and write nonstop for ten or fifteen minutes without letting your pen leave the paper. Stay loose and free. 2 Don't worry about grammar or spelling. Even though this technique won't work for everyone, it helps many people get a good store of ideas to draw on.
The next technique is to write your draft rapidly without worrying about being perfect. 3 Yet, by learning to live with imperfection, you will save yourself headaches and a wastepaper basket full of crumpled(弄皱) paper. Think of your first draft as a path cut out of the jungle—as part of an exploration, not as a complete highway.
The third technique is to try printing out a triple-spaced(三倍行距)copy to allow space for revision. 4 As a result, these writers never get in the habit of crossing out chunks(大块) of their draft and writing revisions in the blank space. After you have revised your draft until it is too messy to work from anymore, you can enter your changes into your word processor. 5 The resulting blank space invites you to revise.
A.Make sure your handwriting is neat.
B.Let your pen follow the waves of thought.
C.The second draft of the essay should be better.
D.First of all, learn the technique of nonstop writing.
E.Too many writers try to get their drafts right the first time.
F.Many beginning writers don't leave enough space to revise.
G.Then you can print out a fresh draft, again setting your text on triple-space.

UNIT 8 GREEN LIVING
五年高考练
Ⅰ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。作者得到启示:开放的工作环境有时有利于启发创造性思维。
1.A 推理判断题。本题题干意为:为什么采访者更喜欢共同工作空间 根据第一段中采访者的话“That's why I have a membership at the coworking space across the street—so I can focus.(那就是为什么我在街对面的共同工作空间有会员——这样我就可以集中注意力了。)”可以推断出,他之所以喜欢共同工作空间就是因为能集中注意力。
2.C 细节理解题。本题题干意为:哪种背景噪声水平可能提高创造性思维能力 根据第二段中的“however, the participants in the 70 decibels group—those exposed to a level of noise similar to background chatter in a coffee shop—significantly outperformed the other groups”和第三段第一句“But since the results at 70 decibels were significant, the study also suggests that the right level of background noise—not too loud and not total silence—may actually improve one's creative thinking ability.”可知,70分贝的背景噪声水平可能对提高创造性思维能力是有帮助的。
3.D 推理判断题。本题题干意为:是什么让开放式办公室不受很多人欢迎 从最后一段第二句“The problem may be that, in our offices, we can't stop ourselves from getting drawn into others' conversations while we're trying to focus.”可以推断出,很多人不喜欢开放式的办公室的原因是总在想集中注意力工作时被卷入别人的谈话中,即总是会时不时被打断。
4.D 推理判断题。本题题干意为:关于作者我们能从文章中推断出什么 根据文章第一句“During an interview for one of my books, my interviewer...”可知作者是一位作家。

长难句
原句 The differences between most of the groups were statistically insignificant;however, the participants in the 70 decibels group—those exposed to a level of noise similar to background chatter in a coffee shop—significantly outperformed the other groups.
分析 本句中分号连接两个分句,第二个分句的句首为表示转折的副词。在第二个分句中,两个破折号中间的部分对前面的“the participants in the 70 decibels group”进行补充说明。
译文 大多数小组之间的差异没有统计意义;然而,70分贝组的参与者——那些置身于噪声水平类似于咖啡店背景聊天声的人——表现得明显优于其他小组。
Ⅱ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了写好文章的三个简单技巧。
1.D 主题句。设空处位于段首,具有主题句的特征。根据下文中的“write nonstop for ten or fifteen minutes without letting your pen leave the paper”可知,本段介绍的是不间断写作的技巧。D选项(首先,学习不间断写作的技巧)符合语境。故选D。
2.B 细节句。根据下文“Don't worry about grammar or spelling.”可知,既然不要担心语法和拼写错误,就是要快速地想到哪里写到哪里。B选项(让你的笔跟随你的思想起伏)符合语境。故选B。
3.E 过渡句。根据上文中的“without worrying about being perfect”以及下文中的“Yet”可知,E选项(太多的作者试图第一次就把他们的草稿写对)起到承上启下的作用。符合语境。故选E。
4.F 推理句。下文“As a result, these writers never get in the habit of crossing out chunks of their draft and writing revisions in the blank space.”描述的是一种不良后果,由此推出,造成这种不良后果的原因应该是一种不正确的做法。F选项(许多初学写作的人没有留出足够的修改空间)符合语境。故选F。
5.G 细节句。本段主要谈论三倍行距打印的好处。G选项(然后你可以打印一份新的草稿,同样将文本设置为三倍行距)符合语境。故选G。

Ⅲ.One possible version:
Dear Jim,
How's everything
I'm writing to invite you to give us an online talk on English writing. Our classmates seem to be weak in organisation. Would you please give us some suggestions on how to connect sentences logically, how to develop a paragraph, and how to structure an essay
The talk will be about an hour, and you can decide on a date at your convenience. Please let me know which platform you'll be using. It would be great if we could have a 10-minute question and answer session at the end of your talk.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
