作者通过让学生拼装玩具发现并鼓励学生的创造性和想象力。

答案及剖析:1.A 细节理解题。

文章开头第一句Five years ago,when I taught art at a school in Seattle,I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students.就点明了作者使用拼装式玩具的目的。

把find out something about my students换成 know more about the students来考查,故选A项。

2.D 推理判断题。

文章第三段用不同实例说明这个男孩具有丰富的想象力和创造性。

和D 项完全吻合。

至于A、B、C三个选项的表述,本段未曾提及。

3.B 猜测词义题。

由画线单词后I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking.可推测知(Encouraging this kind of thinking has a...)鼓励这种思维方式的教育方法有“负面”或有“弊端”之意才符合此处上下文的意义。

由四个选项的意义“错误、缺点、困难、负担”可知,选B项。

4.A 推理判断题。

根据文章最后七段中的对话内容可知,作者鼓励孩子们说出最有趣的有创造性和想象力的梦,并鼓励他们在白天、在课堂上运用这种想象力和创造性的思维方式。

其目的就是为了让学生们看到自己的创造性和想象力。

这也迎合了本文的主题。

故选A项。

Ⅱ.阅读填空(七选五)(2016四川)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

Both men and women are living longer these days in industrialized countries.1. In general,they can expect to live six or seven years more than men.One reason for this is biological.One important biological factor that helps women live longer is the difference in hormones between men and women.2. Between the ages of about 12 and 50,women produce hormones that are involved in fertility(生育能力).These hormones also have a positive effect on the heart and the blood flow.In fact,women are less likely to have high blood pressure or to die from heart attacks.3. They help the body defend itself against some kinds of infections.This means that women generally get sick less often and less seriously than men.The common cold is a good example: women,on average,get fewer colds than men.4. Scientists are still not exactly sure how genes influence aging,but they believe that they do.Some think that a woman’s body cells have a tendency(倾向) to age more slowly than a man’s.Others think that a man’s body cells have a tendency to age more quickly.5.A.However,women,on average,live longer.B.The biological factor plays an important part.C.Women are also helped by their female genes.D.The female hormones also protect the body in another way.E.Recent research seems to support both of these possibilities.F.Therefore,women are more healthy than men and can live a better life.G.Hormones are chemicals which are produced by the body to control various body functions.语篇解读:本文为说明文。
