    Passage 1（2009年上海卷）
   
    Most people believe they don’t have much imagination. They are    1   . Everyone has imagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to make use of it. Creativity isn’t always   2   with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time   3   think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind! Here are three techniques to help you.
   
    Making connections This technique involves taking   4   ideas and trying to find links between them. First, think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image, word, idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all the idea/words   5   with candles: light, fire, matches, wax, night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the ideas to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy a friend an original   6    ; you could buy him tickets to match or take him out for the night.
   
    NO limits! Imagine that normal limitations don’t   7    . You have as much time/space/money, etc. as you want. Think about your goal and the new   8    .If your goal is to learn to ski,   9   , you can now practise skiing every day of your life （because you have the time and the money）. Now    10     this to reality.  Maybe you can practise skiing ever day in December, or every Monday in January.
   
    Be someone else! Look at the situation from a    11   point of view. Good businessmen use this technique in trade, and so do writes. Fiction writers often imagine they are the   12    in their books. They ask question: What does this character want? Why can’t she get it? What changes must she make to get what she wants? If your goal involves other people, put yourself in their positions . The best fishermen think like fish!

    Passage 2 （2009年江苏卷）
   
    The requirements for high school graduation have just changed in my community. As a result, all students must complete sixty hours of service learning,   1    they will not receive a diploma. Service learning is academic learning that also helps the community.    2     of service learning include cleaning up a polluted river, working in a soup kitchen, or tutoring a student. During a service experience, students must keep a journal（日志）and then write a     3     about what they have learned.
   
    Supporters claim that there are many   4    of service learning. Perhaps most importantly, students are forced to think   5    their own interests and become aware of the needs of others. Students are also able to learn real-life skills that include responsibility, problem-solving, and working as part of a team.   6  , students can explore possible careers  through service learning.
   
    For example, if a student wonders what teaching is like, he or she can choose to work in an elementary school classroom a few afternoons each month.  7   there are many benefits, opponents （反对者）point out problems with the new requirement. First, they   8    that the main reason students go to school is to learn core subjects and skills. Because service learning is time-consuming, students spend less time studying the core subjects. Second, they believe that forcing students to work without   9    goes against the law. By requiring service, the school takes away an individual's freedom to choose.
   
    In my view, service learning is a great way to   10    to the community, learn new skills, and explore different careers.   11    , I don' t believe you should force people to help others – the desire to help must come from the heart. I think the best   12    is one that gives students choices: a student should be able to choose sixty hours of independent study or sixty hours of service. Choice encourages both freedom and responsibility, and as young adults, we must learn to handle both wisely.

    Passage 3
   
    Fifteen percent of US teenagers aged 12 to 17 who own mobile phones have received nude（裸体）or nearly nude images of someone they know, according to a survey released on Tuesday.
   
    Only four percent of mobile phone-owning   1  in that age group have sent sexually suggestive pictures of themselves, a practice known as "sexting," according to the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project.
   
    The Pew survey found that girls and boys were equally as likely to have sent a suggestive picture to   2    person and older teenagers were more likely to have engaged in "sexting."
   
    Eight percent of 17-year-olds with mobile phones have sent a sexually provocative（刺激的） image  3   texting and 30 percent have  4    a nude or nearly nude image on their phone.
   
    Only four percent of 12-year-olds have sent suggestive images of themselves .
   
    Amanda Lenhart, a senior research specialist at Pew and the author of the report, said sexually suggestive images have become a   5   of "relationship currency" for teens.
   
    "These images are    6   as a part of or instead of sexual activity, or as a way of starting or maintaining a relationship with a significant other," she said. "And they are also passed along to friends for their entertainment value, as a joke or for   7   ."
   
    "The desire for risk-taking and sexual exploration during the teenage years   8    with a constant connection via mobile devices creates a 'perfect storm' for sexting," said Lenhart.
   
    "Teenagers have always grappled with issues around sex and   9   , but their coming-of-age mistakes transgressions have never been so easily transmitted and stored for others to see," she added.
   
    The survey found that teens with unlimited text messaging plans were more likely to receive "sexts"   10   images of people they know. About 75 percent of mobile phone owning teens have unlimited plans.
   
    Among this group, Pew said 18 percent reporting receiving "sexts"    11   with eight percent of teens on limited data plans and three percent of teens who pay per message.
   
    According to Pew, 58 percent of 12-year-olds own a mobile phone and 83 percent teens aged 17   12    .
   
    Pew noted that a number of US states are grappling with how to deal with sexting" among minors and some legislatures(立法机关) have stepped in to consider laws that would downgrade charges from felonies（重罪） to misdemeanors（轻罪）.
   
    Pew conducted telephone interviews with 800 teens aged 12 to 17 and their parents between June 26 and September 24.
