Task 1：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
(2016•全国Ⅱ，B)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.I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student，and said：“Make something out of the Tinkertoys.You have 45 minutes today—and 45 minutes each day for what the rest of the week.”
A few students hesitated to start.They waited to see what the rest of the class would do.Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided.Another group built something out of their own imaginations.
Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time.His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home.I was delighted at the presence of such a student.Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work.His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students.
Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside.I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking.Without fail one would declare，“But I'm just not creative.”
“Do you dream at night when you're asleep？”
“Oh，sure.”
“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative.Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads.“That's pretty creative.Who does that for you？”
“Nobody.I do it.”
“Really—at night，when you're asleep？”
“Sure.”
“Try doing it in the daytime，in class，okay？”
【语篇解读】　这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述的是作为老师，作者让学生拼装玩具是为了更多地了解他们，从中发现并激励他们的创造力。
1．The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to________.
A．know more about the students
B．make the lessons more exciting
C．raise the students' interest in art
D．teach the students about toy design
答案　A　[推理判断题。根据第二段的内容可知，拼装玩具时，有些学生看别人如何行动，有些学生查看了使用说明并根据模型拼装。而另外一些学生则根据自己的想象力进行。由此可判断出作者这么做是为了对学生的情况有更多的了解。]
2．What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A．He liked to help his teacher.
B．He preferred to study alone.
C．He was active in class.
D．He was imaginative.
答案　D　[细节判断题。根据第三段中的Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work.可知，他是一个很有创造力的人。]
3．What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Mistake. B．Drawback.
C．Difficulty. D．Burden.
答案　B　[词义猜测题。画线句为段落主题句。结合后面的句子I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking.我冒着有可能失去那些思维方式不同的学生的危险，可判断出激励的教育方式也有缺点。drawback缺点，符合语境。]
4．Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?
A．To help them to see their creativity.
B．To find out about their sleeping habits.
C．To help them to improve their memory.
D．To find out about their ways of thinking.
答案　A　[推理判断题。根据最后的对话内容可知，作者让孩子们谈论他们那些富有想象力的梦想，是为了帮助他们看到自己的创造力。]
