乍一看两篇听力短文觉得还挺难的，但现在的题型是听两遍。我简直是20年没有参加过高考了！回忆世纪之交的高考听力，我觉得好像都很简单嘛，绝对没有现在这么学术的素材。
先贴Section B的听力，其实我主要想八一下这次听力材料的短文出处，看看命题组们是怎么把原文重新改写的。Section A的内容放在最后（别人有比我好看的格式）。
Section B
Passage 1，听力短文第一篇
It's common for you,nonfiction writers, to go forth into an area you know little about. You may worry that you're not qualified to bring the story back. I feel that anxiety everytime I start a new project, I felt it when I went to Bradenton to write my baseball book, Spring Training. Although I’ve been a baseball fan all my life, I had never done any sports reporting, never interviewed a professional athlete. Any of the men I approached with a notebook could have asked: what else have you written about baseball? But nobody did.
They didn't ask, because I was sincere. It was obvious to those men that I really wanted to know how they did their work. Remember this, when you enter a new area and need a shot of confidence, what matters is how you do it. Also remember that your assignment may not be as narrow as you think. Often it will turn out to touch some unexpected corner of your experience or your education, enabling you to broaden the story with strength of your own. Every such reduction of the unfamiliar will reduce your fear.
Questions
11, According to the speaker, when may non-fiction writers feel worried?
12, Why did nobody in Bradenton care about what the speaker had written before?
13. According to the speaker, how does non-fiction writers experience or education benefit them?

On writing well – the classic guide to writing nonfiction, by William Zinsser
William Zinsser，1922年10月7日生，美国作家，教师。《写作法宝—非虚构写作指南》这本书是他的代表作，三百多页。命题组选了开头的部分改写重组了。主要是缩短了长度，改写（paraphrase）了terrain, embark, credential等生词。我挑了相关的几段。
Passage 2，听力短文第二篇
The accepted definition of creativity is production of something original and useful. And it is commonly thought that creativity occurs on the right side of the brain, and the arts play an important role in enhancing it. But according to new research, creativity isn't about freedom from concrete facts.
Rather, fact finding is vital in the creative process. It's the result of both sides of your brain working together. To understand this, we need to take a look at what leads to creativity. When you try to solve a problem, you begin by concentrating on obvious facts and familiar solutions to see if the answer lies there. This is donemostly by the left side.However, if the answer doesn't come, the right and left sides of the brain activate together. The right side scans remote memories that could be vaguely relevant.
A wide range of distant information that is normally ignored becomes available to the left side. Then the left side catches whatever connection it may have with the problem, and quickly locks in on it before it escapes. With extreme focused attention, the brain quickly pulls together these pieces of thought and combines them into a new single idea.As the brain recognizes the originality of what it has come up with, a sense of pleasure will arise.
Questions
14. What do people commonly think of creativity?
15. According to the passage, how does the left side of the brain contribute to creative process?
16.What is the passage mainly about?

Thecreativity crisis, By Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman on 7/10/10
原载于Newsweek新闻周刊，是2010的旧稿了。这篇改写很多，去掉了原文关于创造力测试、课程设置等的讨论，把hemisphere改成了side等词汇降低难度，次序也都调整了（所以我放弃了详细标注）。
原文很长，我只选了相关的几段。附上网址。
