M: Alexa, why are there some dead plants?

W: I know. Every plant comes in alive and ends up dead.

M: Well, it's not that hard to keep house plants. What did you do to care for this one?

W: That one had a big flower on it, so I put it in the sunlight.

M: This is a winter plant from north China. It doesn't do well in direct sunlight. Just move it here. Didn't you look up how to care for it when you got it?

W:  No. I just thought it was pretty, and it was doing OK in the shop.

M: And this one here is all yellow. You gave it too much water.

W: I water it every day.

M: I'm afraid its root system is destroyed. Look, here's an app with plant information.

M: Today we are honoured to have Dr. Nancy with us. Doctor, thanks for coming on our show.

W: It's my pleasure.

M: Now, can we start with the question "What is creativity?"

W: Well, creativity can be viewed as a process, which usually starts with a person who's trying to find a better way of doing a task and come up with a solution.

M: Hmm, I see. Do you think the ability to be creative is inborn or not?

W: Well, no one knows yet.

M: Does creativity only appear in great people?

W: Certainly not. Creativity can also be found in daily tasks such as cooking or gardening.

M: Oh, really? Now Dr. Nancy, can you describe to us what the actual creative process is?

W: Actually, many great artists describe it as a dreamlike state during which ideas just come to them in a flash.

M: What is going on in the brain during that flash?

W: No one knows for sure, but researchers suggest that part of the brain becomes very active, linking up with ideas or thoughts in previous unknown ways.

M: I see. Thank you very much, Dr. Nancy.

听下面一段独白，回答第18至第20三个小题。现在你有15秒钟的时间阅读这三个小题。

Currently, there are over 1,000 seed banks located all over the world. How does the seed bank work? First, scientists from all over the world collect endangered and useful wild species, put them in a paper or cotton bag to prevent them from getting bad, and send them to the seed bank. Once the seeds arrive, they're dried and preserved in a special room. After that, X-rays confirm that the seeds are undamaged and that no insects are hidden inside. The seeds are then frozen, stored in special containers and then placed in huge freezers at 20℃ for long-term storage, which allows the seeds to be preserved for decades and reawakened when required. One of the most famous seed banks, Svalbard Global Seed Vault, now holds more than one million seed samples. It is located deep in a frozen Arctic mountain in Norway. As the Earth is facing huge challenges like climate change, these seed banks are surely significant for the future of the world's food supply.
