　　北京新东方学校的郑尉老师为考生们带来了“是不是所有人都需要创新”这个话题的写作思路与必背例句，供考生们参考。

　　2012年10月6日 Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.

　　Studies of creativity often focus primarily on writers, artists, composers, and scientists. Political leaders are not usually considered to be very creative. Indeed, it is sometimes said that it is a good thing that leaders in general are not very creative, since an excess of creativity, especially in leaders who have to enforce rules, would only lead to trouble. Yet surely some degree of creativity is desirable in all walks of life.

　　Adapted from Thomas G. West, In the Mind's Eye

　　Assignment: Do all people need to be creative? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.

　　第一部分：

　　解题思路：

　　同意所有的人都需要有创新精神。

　　首先，同意艺术、科技领域的创新必不可少，这样的事例相信大家已经准备过很多。比如香奈儿，比如毕加索，比如莱特兄弟。然后可以批判提示里的文字“Indeed, it is sometimes said that it is a good thing that leaders in general are not very creative, since an excess of creativity, especially in leaders who have to enforce rules, would only lead to trouble. .”反驳事例：罗斯福的新政。(19世纪30年代美国经济大萧条。当时的美国总统胡佛Hoover认为: The federal government could not and should not try to fix the average citizen’s problems.但是罗斯福认为：The Great Depression could be solved only through direct government action in the form of far-reaching programs and direct relief.罗斯福的新政就是一种创新因为：The New Deal marked a significant change in the way Americans viewed the role of government and the individual citizen.

　　接下来我们可以说，除了艺术家，科学家，政治家需要创新，还有很多人也需要创新。比如商人。例子可以举沃尔玛的创始人Sam Walton的利润分享措施。再比如家庭主妇。在生活当中，大家是否会遇到为吃什么菜发愁呢?如果主妇不懂创新，那她做菜永远是一成不变的。蘑菇永远只会做汤，或者炒着吃。但是创新的人就可以把蘑菇裹上面粉，炸着吃。

　　最后结尾，人人都需要创新。有了创新，社会才能进步，生活才有乐趣。

　　第二部分

　　本篇必背例句：

　　1) On October 29, 1929, the stock market crashed(崩溃) and the United States was thrown into despair.

　　2) Since many banks had also invested large portions of their clients' savings in the stock market, these banks were forced to close when the stock market crashed.

　　3) Businesses and industry were also affected. Having lost much of their own capital(资金) in either the Stock Market Crash or the bank closures, many businesses started cutting back their workers' hours or wages. In turn, consumers began to curb(紧缩) their spending, refraining(节制) from purchasing such things as luxury goods. This lack of consumer spending caused additional businesses to cut back wages or, more drastically, to lay off(解雇) some of their workers. Some businesses couldn't stay open even with these cuts and soon closed their doors, leaving all their workers unemployed.

　　4) The New Deal is the revolution to allowing traditional and unrestrained(放纵的) freedom.

　　5) Sam Walton believed that the prosperity(成功) of a company depended on the hard work of employees.

　　6) He implemented “profit sharing plan”, giving some of the profit to employees, which ignited their passion and strengthened their loyalty.

　　7) Deep-fried mushroom(炸蘑菇)

　　8) Coat the mushroom with flour.(把蘑菇裹上面粉)

　　9) With creativity, the society can advance and we can have a varied life full of surprises.

　　请考生注意：

　　1)必要的时候，我们是可以对prompt里的内容做出反驳的。比如本文，我们如果同意人人都需要创新，那么就可以反驳prompt里说的，政治家不用创新。

　　2)对于一个问题，我们可以一边倒，也可以两方都说。比如官方给出的有关“过去的记忆到底是阻碍还是帮助一个人成功?”的话题，一位考生写的是过去的记忆既可以是阻碍成功，也可以是帮助人们成功。他没有一边倒，获得满分。另一位考试写的是过去的记忆帮助一个人的成功，也获得满分。由此可见，观点是不重要的。影响你分数的不是你的观点，而是你如何去有条理地论述你的观点。
