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 The district required us to teach a curriculum【C6】______ aligned with a 15-year-old reading textbook containing outdated articles about Ricky Martin, ice fishing, and cartography in a(n)【C7】______ to provide relevant, entry-level reading for students.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 [br] 【C10】
选项
答案 L
解析 空格前是定冠词the，且前面有动词take，因此空格处应填入名词作take的宾语。上文提到，普戈娄所写的书倡导趣味性的教学方式，这与教育部门所规定的教学内容相矛盾，而此处作者和同事打算采取普戈娄的教学理念，很显然这是冒着得罪教育部门的风险，故L)risk为本题答案，take the risk意为“冒险”。
