Ⅱ。 Cloze Test（ 10 points， 1 point for each item）

Great artists and great scientists are similar in that they both use the two sides of their brain.

Einstein said his scientific discoveries grew from his imagination 12 from analysis， reason and language. The story goes 13 Einstein was daydreaming one summer‘s day 14 sitting on a hill. He imagined that he was riding on sunbeams to the far distance of the universe. 15 he found that he had returned to the sun. So he realized that the universe must curve. He got this 16 by using his imagination. He then used the left side of brain to 17 analysis， number and reason. And finally he used language to explain it.
