latter，we often accept it anyway because we are so used to the way things are that wed dont even recognize that they could be different This is a phenomenon psychologist call functional fixedness.This classic experiment will give you an idea of howitworks and a sense of whether you may have fallen into the same trap:People are given a box of tacks(大头钉)and some matches and asked to find a way to attach a candle to a wall so that it burns properly.Typically,the subjects try tacking the candle to the wall or lighting it to fix it with melted wax.The psychologists had,of course,arranged it so that neither of these obvious approaches would work.The tacks are too short,and the paraffin(石蜡)doesnt stick to the wall.So how can you complete the task?The successful technique is to use the tack box as a candle-holder.You empty it,tack it to the wall.and stand the candle inside it.To think of that,you have to look beyond the boxs usual role as a receptacle just for tacks and re-imagine it serving an entirely new purpose.That is difficult because we all suffer to one degree or another from functional fixedness.The inability to think in new ways affects people in every corner of society.The political theorist Hannah Arendt coined the phrase“frozen thoughts”to describe deeply held ideas that we no longer question but should.In Arendts eyes,the self-content reliance on such accepted“truths”also made people blind to ideas that didnt fit their worldview,even when there was plenty of evidence for them.Frozen thinking has nothing to do with intelligence,she said,“It can be found in highly intelligent people.”4.What does the underlined word“it”in paragraph 2 refer to?A.The experiment.B.Functional fixedness.C.The path.D.The thinking.5.Which way is hard to think of to complete the task?A.Tacking the candle to the wall.B.Fixing the candle with melted wax.C.Using the tack box as a candle-holder.D.Lighting the candle tostand it.6.Which of the following statements will

分，满分 10 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 The word emoji comes from Japanese,literally meaning picture character._16_They come in different categories,such as faces and people,plants and animals,and food and drink.When first introduced inJapanin 1999,emojis were limited to 176 simple designs.Now there are more than 3,000 emojis.Due to their popularity,the Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year in 2015 was a pictograph instead of a traditional word.In todays world,emojis have become more and more popular._17_People like them because they add emotional meanings,and are quick and easy to use.With a smiling or sad face added to a message or post,your reader can see your facial expression while reading your words._18_For instance,if your friend is moving across the country,you may just send them a string of crying faces to express your sadness over your separation._19_A Shakespeare series for young readers has taken William Shakespeares popular plays and replaced some words with textspeak and emojis.The intention of these adaptations is to make the classics more accessible to young readers.Some people,however,believe that these new versions have taken away the heart and soul of Shakespeares plays.As we can see,emojis have a tendency to pop up all over the place.Users of emojis say that they facilitate the way we communicate and express ourselves.But this makes others,especially educators,worry that we are losing the ability to communicate properly using the written word,or even the spoken word.After all,how many of us today would rather send a message packed with emojis than make a telephone call?_20_On that day,emojis will have become a real pictorial language.But,for now,maybe its best that we just enjoy using them.A.Maybe emojis best days are ahead.B.The most popular emojis are classics.C.The use of emojis has even spread to classical literature.D.Perhaps people will one day choose to communicate in pictures.E.It seems that emojis have
