DCaused.解析：A考查詞義猜測。從第三段的“issues of life and death and suffering the clearly social unfairness and issues of poverty and race”可知，作者意識到了不平等、貧困、種族等社會問題，而當(dāng)作者想到文化差異時，作者認(rèn)為這些情況更嚴(yán)重了。故該詞意為“惡化，加重”，跟A項同義。4What did the concert make the author aware of?AThe possibility of celebrating her own culture.BThe right to share one's culture with others.CThe happiness of possessing unique cultural values.DThe right of cultures to coexist in society.解析：D考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Therefore，I believe diversity is seen as an advantage and not as a disadvantage.As a Puerto Rican，I am a mixture of races and I believe in my strength because of this”可知，Therefore后面的內(nèi)容是結(jié)果，而原因自然是前面提到的作者聽音樂會的經(jīng)歷，作者由聽音樂會的經(jīng)歷受到啟發(fā)，認(rèn)為對社會而言，文化差異是優(yōu)勢而不是劣勢，由此可推知，作者認(rèn)為不同的文化有權(quán)利共存。.閱讀填句(七選五)(導(dǎo)學(xué)號02516151)根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。(2018·河北省“五校聯(lián)盟”高三教學(xué)質(zhì)量監(jiān)測)How to Be CreativeMost of us think that creativity is a quality belonging only to artists，writers，or dancers，rather than ourselves._1_The following tips are a great beginning for developing our creativity.1Get out of your comfort zoneWe eagerly accept the familiar and fear the unknown.Break out of your usual patterns and welcome creativity into your life.As stated earlier，the human brain was designed to recognize patterns._2_In fact，our comfort zone is nothing more than a collection of patterns.As we become more efficient at recognizing and using patterns，we rely less on creativity to find new paths.We should force ourselves out of our comfort zones and open up new possibilities.2Try different thingsIf you always do what you've always done，you'll always get what you've always got.We are creatures of habits and routines，and creativity hates routines.If you usually drive to work，take the subway for a few days._3_Interrupt your routine，experiment and try something new.New things are often creative，but the same old thing never is.3_4_Having a great idea is not enough；you must work to make it a reality.Have you ever seen a new product and realized that you thought of the same thing long ago?
