　　六級(jí)閱讀專項(xiàng)練習(xí)題答案解析

　　1.[Belief.]

　　[定位]根據(jù)psychologists查找到全文首句。

　　解析：題干中的distinguish對(duì)應(yīng)原文中的differentiates，首句提到心理學(xué)家說(shuō)區(qū)分有創(chuàng)造力的人和沒(méi)有創(chuàng)造力的人的一個(gè)因索就是信念，因此本題答案為Belief。

　　2.[the word randomly picked in a dictionary]

　　[定位]根據(jù)comparison between the problem查找到第4段前三句。

　　解析：第4段提出尋找點(diǎn)子的第2個(gè)技巧是在字典里隨手挑出一個(gè)詞，強(qiáng)迫自己拿這個(gè)問(wèn)題和這個(gè)詞進(jìn)行比較。因此本題答案為the word randomly picked in a dictionary。

　　3.[letting your imagination run/stretching your imagination]

　　[定位]根據(jù)Feasible changes of actions和specific features查找到第5段最后兩句。

　　解析：第5段末句講到，想出一些具有此類具體特征的可行的行動(dòng)的改變。而由上句的“在放飛你的想象力之后”可知中這些行動(dòng)的改變正是通過(guò)“放飛想象”而想出來(lái)的，因此本題答案為letting your imaginationrun/stretching your imagination。

　　4.[vitality]

　　[定位]根據(jù)frozen-fish processor查找到第6段。

　　解析：第6段末句提到，為了躲開(kāi)肉食魚(yú)，其他的魚(yú)不停地游動(dòng)，這樣就保持了活力和新鮮的味道。也就是說(shuō)，當(dāng)魚(yú)恢復(fù)活力的時(shí)候，新鮮的味道就被保留了，所以答案為vitality。

　　5.[the assembly line]

　　[定位]根據(jù)Henry Ford查找到第7段倒數(shù)第2句。

　　解析：原文該句提到，Henry Ford創(chuàng)造的體系可以把裝配材料送到工人面前，接著下一句提到，裝配線就這樣誕生了，因此本題答案為末句中的the assembly line。
