B
Alia was disappointed. She had been sick when everyone else chose their courses. She had hoped for science, but by the time she chose, the science classes were already full. She had to take the art class. Alia loves science because it uses facts and rules to explain how things work, but art feels so unscientific.
The first class project was drawing self-portraits（自画像）. Some students drew using mirrors, while others worked from photos. She saw her classmates looking carefully at their faces and then drawing slowly. Alia, however, felt out of place.
The teacher walked over and said, “Every portrait starts with a circle. Then we add lines and a triangle to place the eyes, nose, and mouth.” He drew a few small portraits to show the detailed steps. Alia noticed the features on the faces of the portraits were in almost the same places. Alia nervously began her own self-portrait. She found it interesting to measure（测量）where to put her eyes and mouth. She drew the basic shape of a head, and then used lines to add the features. She had to pay attention to every detail. One wrong line could mess everything up.
Alia was surprised by how much effort drawing required. It required measuring, noticing details, and showing the basic nature of something. It made her realize that art could be scientific in its own way. She understood that art also had its rules and steps, just like science. By the end of the project, Alia felt thankful for the experience. It allowed her to see art in a new light.

做这类英语阅读理解题，需先通读全文把握主旨，再针对每个小题的问题，定位原文对应段落的关键信息，逐一对比选项与原文内容，排除不符合的选项，选出正确答案。具体到各题：4题需找Alia觉得艺术课格格不入的原因，5题找老师帮助的方式，6题梳理Alia的情绪变化，7题从原文推断结论，8题提炼文章主旨。
【解析】
4. 定位原文第一段“Alia loves science...but art feels so unscientific”及第二段“Alia, however, felt out of place”，可知她因更喜欢科学而觉得艺术课格格不入，A（忘带工具）、B（同学嘲笑）、D（老师指令难）均未提及，故选C。
5. 定位原文第三段“He drew a few small portraits to show the detailed steps”，说明老师通过一步步示范绘画方法帮助她，A（提供工具）、B（换课）、D（画肖像给她当例子）均不符合，故选C。
6. 梳理Alia的情绪：最初失望（对应down），艺术课上觉得格格不入（对应uncomfortable），绘画时觉得有趣（对应interested），最后感谢这次经历（对应thankful），A（sad→excited）、B（satisfied→angry）、C（bored→relaxed）均不符合，故选D。
7. 定位原文最后一段“art could be scientific in its own way...also had its rules and steps”，可推断艺术有自己的科学方法和规则，A（放弃科学）、C（科学更容易）、D（绘画无用）均无依据，故选B。
8. 文章主要讲述Alia从认为艺术不科学，到通过课程理解艺术有自身规则，对艺术产生新看法，A（艺术项目）、C（如何画自画像）、D（科学与艺术相似）均未突出核心，故选B。
