Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2023-2024学年广东阶段练习)My new teacher is cool.Her name is Paula so we call her Miss Paula.
The first time we met her she said we are going to be good friends and that good friends are always nice to each other.
Miss Paula has been teaching us a lot of things.Some of us used to get in trouble for talking in the hallway (过道).Miss Paula says she can't change the rule that we can't make noise in the hallway but we can still talk to each other.She is teaching us sign language.I already know how to say “hello” and “how are you” with my hands.Now we love it when we have to walk somewhere and we are always quiet except for a laugh or two.
Miss Paula likes everybody even Sam and nobody likes Sam.He never does what he's told but now he is doing better.Miss Paula says every single one of us is perfect and beautiful just the way we are.I guess that includes Sam.
This week at school was really the best ever.I didn't even get in trouble when I thought I would because I spilled (洒) milk on my homework and had to hand it in when it was still wet.Miss Paula just smiled and asked “What's this?” So I told her what happened.Miss Paula put it near the window to make it dry.She said the sun had been waiting for such an important job as this and would be happy to help us.
Well I have to go and get ready for bed now.I have school in the morning and I want to wake up early so I will have time to pick Miss Paula some flowers.

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 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 toy 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 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] 本文是一篇记叙文。五年前,作者在西雅图的一所学校教授艺术。新学期伊始,为了更多地了解学生,他要求学生利用万能工匠这种玩具创造作品。作者曾经发现一位十分有创造力的学生,并觉得他的创造力可以激发班上其他同学。
5.The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to .
A.know more about the students
B.make the lessons more exciting

7.What does the underlined word “downside” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Mistake. B.Drawback.
C.Difficulty. D.Burden.
解析:B 词义猜测题。根据第四段第二句可知,作者冒着失去那些有不同思维方式的学生的风险,说明鼓励这种思维方式也有不足之处。downside与drawback (缺点)意义相近。
8.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 memories.
