问题     My co-teacher and I met in the parking lot before school and stared into my car trunk at the costumes and props we had gathered over the weekend. We were giddy with excitement and nervous because neither of us had【C1】______ anything like this before.
    The co-teacher, Alice, had found a book called Teaching Content Outrageously by Stanley Pogrow, which explained how secondary classrooms can incorporate drama into any content to【C2】______ students in learning—incorporating the element of surprise, for example, or developing role-play or simulation experiences to teach content and standards. The book inspired us to change how we taught our seventh-grade language-arts students in a high-poverty school that【C3】______ with test scores, especially reading and math.
    The sense of urgency in the building was【C4】______ , and the pressure on teachers to increase student achievement was often【C5】______ . The district required us to teach a curriculum【C6】______ aligned with a 15-year-old reading textbook containing outdated articles about Ricky Martin, ice fishing, and cartography in a(n)【C7】______ to provide relevant, entry-level reading for students. I refused to teach from this text on the grounds that it was both condescending and【C8】______. But district personnel insisted that teachers use the textbook, citing evidence that it brought up test scores.
    The【C9】______ curriculum, we decided, would never be enough to encourage our students to love reading and writing. Therefore, Alice and I decided to take the【C10】______ and apply Pogrow’s advice.
A) attempt I) persuade
B) designated J) place
C) engage K) rigidly
D) extent L) risk
E) innovatively M) struggled
F) nonexistent N) tried
G) obvious O) uninteresting H) overwhelming
【C5】

选项

答案H

解析 空格前是was,因此空格处应填入动词的分词形式与was一起构成句子的谓语,或填入形容词作was的表语。由于传统教学模式更多地重视学习成绩,因此对于老师来说,为了提高学生的学习成绩,他们必须承受巨大的压力,故H)overwhelming“难以抗拒的,巨大的”为本题答案。
