参考答案：71.fascinated/impressed

74.given

75.creativity

76.individual/personal

77.positively

78.subscribes

79.realistic/practical

80.forgive这是一篇说明文。短文讲述了经过研究，假装你是别人会让你更有创造力。【71题详解】同义转换。根据第一段第一句Onegreatirony(讽刺)aboutourcollectivefascinationwithcreativityisthatwetendtoframeitinuncreativeways.可知，我们大多数人对自己要么有创造力要么没有创造力的想法印象深刻：两者之间不存在中间地带。故答案为fascinated/impressed。【72题详解】同义转换。根据第二段中Pillaybelievesthatthekeytounlockingyourcreativepotentialistodismisstheconventionaladvicethaturgesyouto“believeinyourself”.Infact,youshoulddotheexactopposite:believeyouaresomeoneelse.可知，与普遍的看法相反，皮莱的建议是，你应该相信你是别人。故答案为Contrary。【73题详解】同义转换。根据第三段中instructingthemembersofonegrouptothinkofthemselvesas“eccentric(古怪的)poets”andthemembersofanothertoimaginetheywere“rigidlibrarians”(peopleinthethirdcategory,thecontrolgroup,wereleftaloneforthispart).可知，其中一组被要求认为自己是“古怪的诗人”，另一组是“刻板的图书管理员”，第三组作为对照组。故答案为worked/acted/served/functioned。【74题详解】句意理解。根据第三段中Theresearchersthenpresentedparticipantswith10ordinaryobjects，includingafork,acarrot,andapairofpants,andaskedthemtocomeupwithasmanydifferentusesaspossibleforeachone.可知，前两组被要求为每个给定对象想出尽可能多的不同用途。故答案为given。【75题详解】句意理解。根据第三段中Meanwhile,theresearchersfoundonlysmalldifferencesinstudents'creativitylevelsacrossacademicmajors—infact,thephysicsmajorsinhabiting(寄生)thepersonas(伪装的外表)of“eccentricpoets”cameupwithmoreideasthantheartmajorsdid.可知，学生的创造力水平并不总是与专业类型成正比。故答案为creativity。【76题详解】原词复现。根据第四段Theseresults,writeDumasandDunbar,suggestthatcreativityisnotanindividualquality,buta“malleable(可塑的)productofcontextandperspective.”可知，因此，创造力可能是环境和视角的产物，而不是个人的东西。故答案为individual/personal。【77题详解】词义转换。根据第五段中Thisexercise,whichhecalls“psychologicalhalloweenism”，referstotheconsciousactionofinhabitinganotherpersona—aninnercostumingoftheself.Itworksbecauseitisanactof“consciousunfocus”，awayofpositivelystimulatingthedefaultmode(默认模式)network.可知，“psychologicalhalloweenism”的实施是指通过积极刺激默认模式网络，有意识地成为他人的行为。故答案为positively。【78题详解】句意理解。根据最后一段中Pillay'sworktakesthisastepfurther:Hearguesthatidentifyingyourselfwithcreativityislesspowerfulthanthecreativeactofimaginingyou'resomebodyelse..可知，Pillay坚决支持把你想象成别人的观点，并建议我们不要担心自己有多成功或不成功。故答案为subscribes。【79题详解】概括总结。根据右栏内容可知这里在讲述“演习的现实意义”。故答案为realistic/practical。【80题详解】推理判断。根据最后一段中You'remakingyourselfmorecreative,andyou'regivingyourselfpermissiontodosomethingyou'dotherwisefeelguiltyabout.Imaginingyourselfinanewsituation,oranentirelynewidentity,neverfeltsoproductive.可知，我们完全有权利原谅自己注意力不集中，因为这不仅是人性的表现，而且还能让我们更有创造力和富有成效。故答案为forgive。三、阅读理解21.
