本题改编自老GRE的ISSUE164"Sometimes imagination is a more valuable asset than experience. People who lack experience are free to imagine what is possible and thus can approach a task without constraints of established habits and attitudes"。想象力和经验是完成任务必不可缺的两方面,在完成任务的过程中相互作用,在不同的情况和需求上会有主次之分。本题讨论的是二者谁更有价值,并且给出了“缺少经验可以不受束缚”的理由,属于比较型话题,如上所说,可以根据不同场景进行对比分析。分析的时候需要注意一点:“固有习惯和观念的束缚”只是在某些情况下“经验”的表现。
1. 在学术和专业领域想象力和经验各是什么角色?试分析一两个以下学术领域中的情况:历史、语言、文学、表演、哲学、宗教、人类学、建筑学、经济学、地理、政治、心理学、社会学、空间科学、生命科学、化学、物理、电脑科学、逻辑、数学、统计、农业、经济、教育、工程、环境、法律、军事、传媒
回答: 在文学领域,想象力是创作的关键,虽然很多文学作品都是以经验为基础,但是要想加入自己的特色提升它的境界,就要靠想象力。比如神曲的作者但丁将全诗分为地狱炼狱天堂三部分,充分发挥了想象力。 而在数学领域,取得成就的唯一办法就是实践。为了得到结论,数学学者会一遍一遍不厌其烦的进行推导与验证。
2. 如果只有知识而没有想象力会有什么后果?如果仅仅有想象力却不具备知识又会怎样?想象力与经验之间存在着什么关系?
回答: 只有知识没有想象力,就不会有新事物的产生,社会就会停步不前。如果有想象力却不具备知识,所有的想法都只是纸上谈兵,不切实际,无法将其变成现实。想象力与经验相辅相成,经验是发挥想象力实现想法的基础与保障,想象力又是拓展已有知识,运用经验的指引。
3. 完成任务时,什么情况更需要想象力,什么情况下更需要经验?请结合具体事例简述。
回答: 当遇到需要创造性的任务时需要想象力。比如要设计一座建筑,建筑师最重要的工作是找到设计概念,房子的灵魂,然后根据概念设计出建筑的外部与内部形态,当然这要在具备建造经验的条件下。当遇到程序复杂且反复执行的任务时,经验就非常重要了。经验能使人提高工作效率,采取最优方案,以及及时预见问题,防患于未然。比如,开车的时候,发生事故的往往是新驾驶员。
4. 固有习惯和观念在完成任务的过程中的负作用表现在哪些方面?请结合具体事例简述。
回答: 固有的习惯和观念会阻碍技术的革新。当腐朽的社会体制需要变革的时候,总有一些保守派不愿意打破旧制度,使发生战乱,民不聊生。
5. 通过什么结果或者标准可以去判断“想象力”、“经验”在完成任务的时候的价值?
回答: 通过收益状况,或者对结果的评价来判断。

It is undeniable that imagination and experience are two essencial facts of learning and applying knowledge. There is a voice says that imagination is more significant than experience for novices can be given free rein to their imagination. While, as for me, imagination and experience account for different proportion in various feilds. Human beings would make progress only if they combine them togather.

In some disiplines like literature, art, architecture and computer science, imagination that can induce inspiration seems more vital than experience. However, these subjects still need experience as their basis.
Take literature for instance, a literaty work could well menifest the author's imagination, which determines the depth of thought and spirit of the work as well as is the key criterion for evaluation. Another example is about architecture. Architects are no doubt to seek for inspiration by imagination in order to make unique design. Admittedly, without constructural experience, it is impossible to transfer the architectural drawings into real buildings, no matter how brilliant the idea is.

On the oher hand, experience plays vital role in disiplines such as engineering and history. At the same time, we can not ignore the effect of imagination. For example, people who major in engineering are supposed to exert their imagination to exploit new products based on mathmematic theory, computer science theory and physics knowlege. In terms of history, experience from the past is dorminant part and history could not be imagine.

Imagination and experience are interrelated and interact on each other. Experience ensures the thoughts and plans to be carried out while imagination expands the existing knowledge in our world. On the condition that people just possess experience, people are liable to exert out-of-date knowlege into current situation. What's worse, people tend to lose the habit of thinking in face of problems. Moreover, if the established habits and atitudes are incorrect in themselves, people who insist them would never develop.
On the contrary, all the things imagined are useless and can not be applied in practice without experience.

Of course, without imagination every consequence of experience is the same as ever, imagination is the key of innovation. Nevertheless, what I want to emphasize is both imagination and experience play critical rule involved in development of the society. In orther words, they can not be compared.
