- B. Teacher-led school activities.
- C. Test-oriented teaching.

答案：C
答案句：When children are regarded as vessels to be filled with facts, creativity does not prosper; nor does it when teachers' sole objective is coaching children towards exams.
参考译文：当孩子们被视为装满事实的容器时，创造力不会蓬勃发展；当老师的唯一目标是指导孩子应对考试时，创造力也不会蓬勃发展。
定位线索：题干“detrimental to the fostering of creativity”→答案句“creativity does not prosper”；文中“teachers' sole objective is coaching children towards exams”对应选项C“Test-oriented teaching”。
解析：题干问什么对培养创造力有害，答案句明确指出当老师唯一目标是应对考试时创造力不发展，与C项“Test-oriented teaching”对应。A项“alleviation of pressure”无中生有；B项“teacher-led school activities”是报告建议，不是有害因素；D项“independent learning”无中生有。
50. What should be done to meet the future challenges?
- A. Increasing government investment in school education.
- B. Narrowing the existing gap between the rich and the poor.
- C. Providing all children with equal access to arts education.
- D. Focusing on meeting the needs of under-privileged students.
答案：C
答案句：As lives are affected by any number of looming challenges-climate crisis, automation in the workplace-humans are going to need creative thinking more than ever. For all of our sakes, creativity in education, and for all, must become a priority.
参考译文：由于生活受到许多迫在眉睫的挑战的影响——气候危机、工作场所的自动化——人类将比以往任何时候都更需要创造性思维。为了我们所有人的利益，教育中的创造力，并且是为了所有人，必须成为优先事项。
定位线索：题干“future challenges”→答案句“looming challenges”；文中“creativity in education, and for all”对应选项C“Providing all children with equal access to arts education”。
解析：题干问如何应对未来挑战，答案句说为了所有人，教育中的创造力必须成为优先事项，结合前文提到的公立与私立教育差距，可知应提供平等艺术教育机会，与C项对应。A项“government investment”无中生有；B项“narrowing the gap between rich and poor”范围过大，原文只针对艺术教育；D项“focusing on under-privileged students”偷换概念，原文是“for all”。
