Aasritha’s creativity kicked in as she researched existing bottle-opening devices.She used a piece of wood shaped like a cellphone and put three holes on it，each in different sizes and lined with a layer of dried，sticky hot glue，which provided firm grips(防滑力) for common bottle caps.With a simple twisting(拧) motion，her grandmother could open bottles without assistance. “Students in the class used more than their math，physics and tool skills.They also learned to look at problems from another’s point of view，” said Teacher Mark Bolt.“Engineers need to put themselves in their product users’ shoes to build effective solutions.” Other students in the class also showed sensitivity as they watched friends and family struggle with daily tasks. Michael Kuwashima noticed how dyslexia—a reading disorder that the brain tends to confuse the order of numbers，letters and other images—made it difficult for a friend to follow along on pages full of text.Therefore，Michael created a small adjustable window-blind-style device.“My friend could isolate(分离) small sections of text while reading，” he said. Arjan Garg focused on a different problem.Sometimes putting on clothes can be hard for people with a limited range of motion.Arjan created a “dressing stick” using four wood sticks of different sizes to fit different clothing. The students tried different versions of their products along the way to make the best one to show the class. Rather than requiring step-by-step directions for creating their projects，Bolt preferred to leave students’ creative paths open.“If we want to do better，we have to have a chance to fail，” he said. 语篇解读　本文为说明文。文章主要介绍了在Carson中学八年级的机械工程课上，学生们不仅学会了通过对现有设备的改造使周围人的生活更加便利，而且还学会了站在他人的角度去思考，关心他人的需求。 4．Why did Aasritha create a new bottle-opening device? A．She hoped to get a higher score. B．She was interested in engineering. C．She had difficulty opening bottle caps. D．She wanted to help her grandmother. 答案　D 解析　推理判断题。由第一段中“Aasritha Duriseti recently noticed her grandmother’s difficulty opening a bottle cap.”可知，Aasritha发明一种新的开瓶装置是因为她想帮助她的祖母。故选D。 5．What did students learn from the class? A．Working with others. B．Conducting field experiments. C．Understanding others’ feelings. D．Communicating with product users. 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。由第三段的“They also learned to look at problems from another’s point of view”可知，学生们在该课上学会了理解他人的感受。故选C。 6．How did students finish their assignment? A．With the aid of a guidebook. B．Through trial and error. C．With the help of classmates. D．Under the detailed instruction. 答案　B 解析　推理判断题。由最后一段内容可知，老师没有给学生具体的指导，而是鼓励他们发挥创造力，允许他们犯错，由此可推知，学生是通过自主探索、试错来完成作业的。故选B。 7．What is the text mainly about? A．An inspiring class. B．An excellent teacher. C．Some scientific methods. D．Some talented students. 答案　A 解析　主旨大意题。通读全文可知，该篇文章主要讲述Carson中学八年级的机械工程课引导学生们改进或发明实用设备，同时教会学生从他人的角度去思考问题，即文章主要介绍一堂有启发性的课。故选A。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
