江俊回答:
小题1:A小题1:C小题1:B小题1:D小题1:D
这是一篇语言较为平易的说明文,作者以简练、亲切、对话式的语言向读者阐述了自己的写作方法。小题1:A文章的第二段论述了创造性思维与批判性思维的关系问题。从最后一句结语Youmustlearntocreatefirstandthencriticizeifyouwanttomakewritingthetoolforthinkingthatitis可清晰地看出,在应用这二种思维时,必须首先使用创造性思维,而后再使用批判性思维。意思就是二者不可同时使用。小题1:C一个人不可能既会用创造性思维又会用批判性思维。noonecanbebothcreativeandcritical的意思是一个人身上不同时具备这二种思维能力,而不是不能同时使用这二者。作者在文中讨论先运用创造思维、后运用批判思维的问题,那么一个人肯定是具有这两种思维能力的。A的解释不对。小题1:B二者的重要性不可等量齐观。从上下文来看,作者从未对二者孰重孰轻做出评判,而只是讨论了先后问题。小题1:D二者始终处于与对方斗争冲突的状态。从文中论述可知,只有当人们想同时使用二者时,这二者才会发生冲突,如果一前一后使用则不会。所以并不能说始终处于冲突状态。因此这个选项的论断不正确。小题1:D一个人不能同时运用这二种思维,这一点与文中的Youmustlearntocreatefirstandthencriticize相符。
