【解析】

現(xiàn)在，越來越多的人酷愛旅行，這是一種認識陌生人、了解不同文化并感受不同經(jīng)歷的好方式，旅游使我們思維寬廣。本文講述了旅游的好處，特別是講了旅游與增強人的創(chuàng)造性的關(guān)系;旅游使人更有創(chuàng)造性，但不是去過的地方越多，越有創(chuàng)造性。人們要與自己去的地方互相影響，然后就可以從中受益，而更有創(chuàng)造力。

【1】句意：它是很好的認識新人、了解新文化及獲得體驗的方式。

way方式，方法；area 地區(qū)，區(qū)域；sign標志；state 地區(qū)，州。根據(jù)句中信息“It's a very good___1___of getting to know new people and cultures and acquiring (獲得) experiences”推測該句句意:旅游是達成這些目的的方法，故選A。

【2】句意:它幫助旅游者得到很多東西。

present提出；贈送；produce產(chǎn)生，生產(chǎn)，制造；get得到，獲得；check檢查。根據(jù)上句信息getting to know new people and cultures and acquiring (獲得)experiences可知，在旅游中，人們可以獲得新的文化，新的人生體驗。這里是指能夠幫助旅游者得到很多東西。故選C。

【3】句意：旅游可以使我們的思維變得更加寬廣。

thicker更厚的；smoother更平滑的，更悅耳的；wider更寬廣的；healthier更健康的。根據(jù)句中信息“Travel can make our minds…”推測該句句意:旅游使人思維更寬廣。故選C。

【4】句意：他們認為在國外度過時間有影響人的思維的可能。

ability能力；possibility可能；personality人格；difculty困難。根據(jù)下文內(nèi)容，在國外待一段時間的學(xué)生更有創(chuàng)造性，因此到國外有影響人的思維的可能。故選B。

【5】句意：他們發(fā)現(xiàn)住在國外時間較長的學(xué)生比那些沒有住在國外的學(xué)生更善于創(chuàng)造性地解決問題。

solving解決；causing制造；controlling控制；spreading 傳播。根據(jù)下文“All these can wake up your mind and make it more active.”可知在國外較長的學(xué)生應(yīng)該是更善于創(chuàng)造性的解決問題。故選A.

【6】句意：如果你待在同一個地方，你就無法體驗新的景象、新的氣味、新的聲音和新的文化。

different不同的；the same相同的；other其他的；another另一個。根據(jù)“you can't experience new sights, new smells, new sounds and new cultures.”可推測前句說的是：只有待在同一個地方，才有后句描述的無法體驗新的景象、新的氣味、新的聲音和新的文化。故選B。

【7】句意：然而，這不意味著你去過的地方越多，你就會變得越有創(chuàng)造性。

instead 代替，而不；otherwise 否則；moreover 而且，再者；however 然而，表示語義轉(zhuǎn)折。根據(jù)句中信息"that doesn't mean the more places you've been, the more creative you'll become"和上句“All these can wake up your mind and make it more active.”是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。However 然而，表示語義轉(zhuǎn)折。故選D。

【8】句意：另一組教授做了相似的研究。

secret秘密地；rapid快速的；common普通的；similar 相似的。兩組教授都是研究旅游是否對大腦有創(chuàng)造性思維的影響，是相似的研究。故選D.

【9】句意：他們發(fā)現(xiàn)經(jīng)常從一個地方到另一個地方旅游的人們沒有足夠的時間去享受新的地點和新的文化。

interest興趣；money金錢；time時間；quality品質(zhì)，質(zhì)量。經(jīng)常旅游不同的地點，走馬觀花，沒有時間去深入了解這些地方。故選C.

【10】句意：他們不像那些真正花時間了解一個地方的人們那樣有創(chuàng)造性。

nearly幾乎，差不多；probably可能，大概；hardly幾乎不；really真正地，確實。根據(jù)本段大意，慢慢地了解一個地方及其文化的旅游者比不斷地換地方的旅游者更有創(chuàng)造性。因此這里指真正地了解一個地方的人。故選D。
