A.todirectkidstobuildsolarcollectorsB.totrainyoungscientistsforcityplanningC.todevelopchildren’sproblemsolvingabilitiesD.tohelpyoungarchitectsknowmoreaboutdesigning答案:C解析:细节理解题。从第三段的“CBEPisasetofactivities,games,andimitationsthatteachthebasicstepsnecessaryforproblemsolving”看出,此计划是为了提高孩子们解决问题的能力。22Anarchitectpaysaweeklyvisittotheclassroom.

A.tofindoutkids’creativeideasB.todiscusswiththeteacherC.togivechildrenlecturesD.tohelpkidswiththeirprogram答案:D解析:细节理解题。从第二段的“Withtheaidofanarchitect(建筑师)whovisitstheclassroomonceaweek,theyinventnewwaystomeettheseneedsandbuildmodelsoftheircreations.”看出,建筑师来教室是为了帮助孩子们解决程序中遇到的问题。23Whoisthedesigneroftheprogram?A.Anofficial.B.Anarchitect.C.Ateacher. D.Ascientist.答案:C解析:从第二段的“saystheteacherwhodevelopedthisprogram”看出老师是设计者。24Thechildrenfeelfreeintheprogrambecause.

A.theycandesignfuturebuildingsthemselvesB.theyhavenewideasandrichimaginationC.theyaregivenenoughtimetodesignmodelsD.theyneednotworryaboutmakingmistakes答案:D解析:从第二段的“becausetherearenowronganswersinafuturecontext”看出,孩子们感到自由的原因是不用担心犯错误。BIt’snottheflashiestcarintheworld.Notevenclose.Butthe1971VolkswagennamedHelioscandosomethingmostcarscan’t:runonsolarenergy—energyfromthesun’slightandheat!JoshuaBeehtold,14,andtheotherstudentsattheRiversideSchoolinLyndonville,Vermont,workedmanymonthstogetHeliosreadyforthe1999AmericanTourdeSol(“Sol”istheLatinwordfor“sun”).TheynamedtheircarafterHelios,thesungodinGreekmythology(神话).The4yearoldTourdeSolencouragestheuseof“green”,orenvironmentallyfriendlycarstohelpreducepollutionandsaveenergy.It’snotarace.Carsarejudgedonfuelefficiency(耗油量)ratherthanspeed.Intheweeklongevent,44carstookthe350miletourfromWaterbury,Connecticut,toLakeGeorge,NewYork.Ofthe23studentcars,Helioswastheonlyonebuiltbymiddleschoolstudents.AteacherdroveHelios,butthechildrentalkedwithpeoplewherevertheystoppedalongtheroad.“Thatwasmyfavouritepart,”saysAnnaBrowne,15.“Weexplainedhowthecarruns.”Dueinparttoold,inefficientbatteries,Heliosfinishedfourth—outoffour—initskind,thesunpoweredclass.“Wewerethereforthefunofit,”Annasays.“We’reproudofHelios,”saysArielGleicher,14.“It’sacarthat’sgoodfortheenvironment.”25WhatisspecialaboutthecarHeliosinthetext?A.Itwasbuiltbymiddleschoolstudents.B.Ithasanattractivedesign.C.Itwasmadein1971.D.Itwonthefourthprize.答案:A解析:细节理解题。从第三段最后一句“...Helioswastheonlyonebuiltbymiddleschoolstudents.”看出,Helios之所以特殊,是因为它是由中学生制造的。26Howmanysunpoweredcarstookpartintherace?A.1. B.4.C.23. D.44.答案:B解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段的第一句“Dueinparttoold,inefficientbatteries,Heliosfinishedfourth—outoffour—initskind,thesunpoweredclass.”的outoffour看出,一共有四辆太阳能赛车参赛。27Whatwouldbethebesttitleforthetext?A.ThemakingofHeliosB.1999AmericanTourdeSolC.SunpoweredcarsontheroadD.UseofgreencarsinConnecticut答案:C解析:主旨大意题。这篇文章主要讲几个中学生制造的太阳能赛车上路参加比赛的事情,所以最好的题目是Sunpoweredcarsontheroad。28ThestudentsfeltproudofHeliosbecause.

A.itcouldrunasfaras350milesB.itwasfavouredbymanychildrenC.ithadhighqualitybatteriesD.itwasdrivenbycleanenergy答案:D解析:细节理解题。根据最后一句“It’sacarthat’sgoodfortheenvironment.”看出,学生们对Helios感到骄傲的原因是:它是由绿色能源驱动的。C(2016·全国高考甲)Fiveyearsago,whenItaughtartataschoolinSeattle,IusedTinkertoysasatestatthebeginningofatermtofindoutsomethingaboutmystudents.IputasmallsetofTinkertoysinfrontofeachstudent,andsaid:“MakesomethingoutoftheTinkertoys.Youhave45minutestodayand45minuteseachdayfortherestoftheweek.”Afewstudentshesitatedtostart.Theywaitedtoseewhattherestoftheclasswoulddo.Severalotherscheckedtheinstructionsandmadesomethingaccordingtooneofthemodelplansprovided.Anothergroupbuiltsomethingoutoftheirownimaginations.OnceIhadaboywhoworkedexperimentallywithTinkertoysinhisfreetime.Hisconstructionsfilledashelfintheartclassroomandagoodpartofhisbedroomathome.Iwasdelightedatthepresenceofsuchastudent.Herewasanexceptionallycreativemindatwork.HispresencemeantthatIhadanunexpectedteachingassistantinclasswhosecreativitywouldinfect(感染)otherstudents.Encouragingthiskindofthinkinghasadownside.Irantheriskoflosingthosestudentswhohadadifferentstyleofthinking.Withoutfailonewoulddeclare,“ButI’mjustnotcreative.”“Doyoudreamatnightwhenyou’reasleep?”“Oh,sure.”“Sotellmeoneofyourmostinterestingdreams.”Thestudentwouldtellsomethingwildlyimaginative.Flyingintheskyorinatimemachineorgrowingthreeheads.“That’sprettycreative.Whodoesthatforyou?”“Nobody.Idoit.”“Reallyatnight,whenyou’reasleep?”“Sure.”“Trydoingitinthedaytime,inclass,okay?”29TheteacherusedTinkertoysinclassinorderto.

A.knowmoreaboutthestudentsB.makethelessonsmoreexcitingC.raisethestudents’interestinartD.teachthestudentsabouttoydesign答案A解析细节理解题。根据文章第一段第一句“...IusedTinkertoysasatestatthebeginningofatermtofindoutsomethingaboutmystudents.”可知,这位老师最初给学生布置这个任务目的是了解这些学生。故选A项。30WhatdoweknowabouttheboymentionedinParagraph3?A.Helikedtohelphisteacher.B.Hepreferredtostudyalone.C.Hewasactiveinclass.D.Hewasimaginative.答案D解析推理判断题。根据文章第三段可以得知,这个男孩组装好的玩具堆满了美术教室的一个架子,家里的卧室也被占了相当大的地方。“我”为能有这样一位有创造力的学生而倍感欣慰。他的存在意味着“我”的课堂上有了一位意想不到的教学助手,他的创造力会感染其他学生,让他们也参与进来。由此可以看出这个男孩是有创造力、有想象力的。故选择D项。31Whatdoestheunderlinedword“downside”inParagraph4probablymean?A.Mistake. B.Drawback.C.Difficulty. D.Burden.答案B解析词义猜测题。根据文章第四段可知,鼓励孩子有这种想象力也会有不利的一面。要冒一定的风险,可能会失去那些有不同思维方式的学生。必定有人会说“我就是没有创造力”。因此可以看出此段重在介绍上述这种做法存在的弊端。因此B项正确。32Whydidtheteacheraskthestudentstotalkabouttheirdreams?A.Tohelpthemtoseetheircreativity.B.Tofindoutabouttheirsleepinghabits.C.Tohelpthemtoimprovetheirmemory.D.Tofindoutabouttheirwaysofthinking.答案A解析推理判断题。文章第四段最后一句“ButI’mjustnotcreative.”引出下文师生间的对话,根据文章最后一句“Trydoingitinthedaytime,inclass,okay?”可以看出,老师以孩子晚上做的梦引出白天课堂上要勇于尝试,大胆想象。因此A项正确。第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)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。33.Peopleusemoneytobuyfood,furniture,books,bicyclesandhundredsofotherthingstheyneedorwant.Whentheywork,theyusuallygetpaidinmoney.
