In today’s world, racial, ethnic, and national categories no longer impose fixed barriers or unbending traditions. This is not to say that these categories have disappeared. Rather, they are mixing and interacting in new ways. The hybrid nature of today’s society is a valuable resource that companies and businesses should tap into in their quest to innovate.
The ability to apply knowledge to new situations is the most valued currency in today’s economy. More than ever, creativity rewards those who exercise it, so curiosity about the source of creativity has never been higher. How creativity comes about is a riddle, but a few things seem clear. Highly creative people don’t necessarily excel in raw brainpower. They are misfits on some level. They tend to question accepted views and to consider contradictory ones.
The implications are plain to see: Divergent thinking is an essential ingredient of creativity. Diverse groups produce diverse thinking. Therefore, diversity promotes creativity. This logic applies to corporations, research teams, think tanks, and other groups of creators. Those who rely on a team of diverse people are more likely to innovate than those who rely on platoons of similar people.
To be sure, hybridity poses risks. A hybrid person may lose himself in a jumble of affiliations. A hybrid nation may botch the process of reinvention. Still, the price of such errors seems lower than the cost of circling the ethnic wagons and either shutting out people who are different or forcing them to become "one of us. " Never before have so many people married across racial and ethnic lines. Never before have so many people left their homelands for work or pleasure. Never before have so many people touched or tasted the clothes, foods, musical styles, and ideas of cultures not available to them in their youth. These people are not becoming phantoms or dilettantes. Rather, they are part of an outpouring of human creativity that is being driven by racial mixing.
"You cannot spill a drop of American blood," Herman Melville wrote in 1849, "without spilling the blood of the whole world. " More than ever, Melville’s declaration applies not only to America, but to all nations.
The author seems to attribute the source of creativity to________.
选项
A、the challenge to accepted views
B、the contradictory thinking of think tanks
C、the collision of ideas from diverse groups
D、the union of similar people
答案
C
解析
本题是细节题。根据第三段前三句提到的“这其中的含义显而易见:发散思维是创造力的重要组成部分之一。不同的群体产生多样化的思维,因此,多样性对创造力起到了推动作用”可知,创造力的源泉为diverge thinking,最终要归结于diversity,故答案选C,选项中的the collision of ideas体现了divergent thinking,diverse groups体现了diversity,属于对原文信息的同义替换。A项干扰信息来自第二段末句的question accepted views,这只是highly creative people的一个特征,比较片面,不能体现divergent thinking,故排除;B项在文中并未提及,属于无中生有,故排除,D项干扰信息来自第三段末句提到的“那些依赖于不同群体的人比那些依赖类似群体的人更有可能进行创新”,也就是说由相似人群构成的联盟更不可能创新,所以该项属于正反混淆,故排除。
