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 todayand 45minutes 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 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 im just not creative.”“do you dream at night when youre 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. “thats pretty creative. who does that for you?”“nobody. i do it.”“reallyat night, when youre asleep?”“sure.”“try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay?”30 the teacher used tinkertoys in class in order to _.a. know more about the studentsb. make the lessons

study alone.c. he was active in class.d. he was imaginative.32 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.阅读理解。choose your one-day-tours!tour a - bath &stonehenge: including entrance fees to the ancient

and vitality （活力） of your brain. they say that you cant teach an old dog new tricks, but when it comes to the brain, scientists have discovered that this old saying simply isnt true. 36give your brain a workout. memory, like muscular strength, requires you to “use it or lose it”. the more you work out your brain, the better youll be able to process and remember information. 37 dont skip the physical exercise. while mental exercise is important for brain health, that doesnt mean you never need to break a sweat. physical exercise helps your brain stay sharp. it increases oxygen to your brain and reduces the risk for disorders that lead to memory loss.get enough sleep. there is a big difference between the amount of sleep you can get by on and the amount you need to function at your best. 38keep stress in check. stress is one of the brains worst enemies. over time, stress destroys brain cells. studies have also linked stress to memory loss.have a laugh. 39 that holds true for the brain and the memory, as well as the body. unlike emotional responses, which are limited to specific areas of the brain, laughter engages multiple regions across the whole brain.40 just as the body needs fuel, so does the brain. you probably already know that a diet based on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, “healthy” fats and lean protein will provide lots of health benefits, but such a diet can also improve memory. for brain health, though, its not just what you eatits also what you dont eat.a. eat a brain-boosting diet.b. play games with memory.c. laughter is the best medicine.d. but oversleeping is not good for your brain.e. even skipping a few hours makes a difference!f. you have to shake things up from time to time!g. the human brain has an astonishing ability to adapt and change.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。two excited kids begged their father for his permission to see a film. having read
