A
I’ve been wondering how kids themselves, especially young ones, define(定义) play. It turns out that there have been quite a few research studies in which young children are asked in various ways to distinguish between play and not play. In a review of 12 such studies, Natasha Goodhall and Cathy Atkinson (2019) concluded that even very young children have a rather clear idea of the difference between play and non-play. Most important for the present discussion, a key characteristic of play for children is that it is chosen and directed by the children themselves.
As one example of such a study, Justine Howard and her colleagues (2006) showed children pictures of other kids involved in various activities and asked them to judge each as “play” or “not play.” It turned out that the most reliable indicator for the children was the presence or absence of an adult. If an adult (generally seen to be a teacher) was present, the activity was most often judged as “not play,” even if the children looked happy and involved. Children were also more likely to judge an activity as play if there was more than one child involved than if a single child was doing something alone.
Howard and her colleagues (2006) also reviewed previous research on children’s understanding of play and concluded that, all in all, children consider an activity to be play if it (a) is controlled by the children, (b) is enjoyable, (c) has no preset goal, and (d) involves pretense. Yay! This list matches reasonably well with the list I generated based on the work of other play researchers and my own observations. I’m apparently not too far off the mark.
Unfortunately, many education specialists who have heard that play is good for children’s learning don’t understand what play is. They develop “play-based learning” programs that go against the first characteristic of play because they are chosen and set up by the teacher and are more-or-less forced upon the children rather than freely chosen by them. Once the first characteristic is destroyed, the others are also generally destroyed.
I think it is hard for teachers to provide much real play for children, because that means giving up control. Moreover, stepping back and letting the children do their own thing may look like laziness or negligence(疏忽) to adult observers.
1. Which of the following is more likely to be regarded as play by children
A. Activities filled with joys and sorrows. B. Activities directed by children themselves.
C. Activities with the company of their parents. D. Activities set up and monitored by a teacher.
2. What does the underlined sentence “I’m apparently not too far off the mark” in Para 3 mean
A. I am opposed to the mark. B. I am in the wrong direction.
C. My finding is close to the truth. D. My mark is beyond imagination.
3. What is the problem with “play-based learning” programs
A. Children can not choose them freely. B. The benefits of the programs are ignored.
C. Not all the children are involved in the activities.
D. What children do goes against the rules of the games.
4. What does the text mainly talk about
A. How children define play. B. How specialists design play-based learning.
C. Why play matters for children. D. Why play-based learning is important to children.
B
On Tuesday, organizers of the Pritzker Prize, often known as the “Nobel of architecture,” revealed Kéré as its 2022 winner.
The first African architect to claim the award in its 43-year history, Kéré made the achievement largely involving schools, health centers and community facilities—projects that might once have been considered too modest for a prize that has historically honored the designers of iconic buildings. Speaking to CNN shortly after hearing the news, he credited his success to his community in Gando.
“This is not just a prize for myself,” he said on the phone from Berlin. “Without having the courage to go back home Gando, and to get my people to join me on the journey to build the school that began my career, this would never have been possible.”
Casting mud like concrete (混凝土) and preferring local materials to imported ones, Kéré proposes a vision of architecture that both strengthens communities and responds to the climate crisis. As such, the Pritzker Prize announcement is not only a nod of acceptance for him, but for “vernacular” architecture—a term used to describe designs that directly respond to local climates, materials and building traditions.
Though Kéré has since designed bigger projects, his approach remains grounded in his belief established in Gando. Knowing the village had no access to electricity or air conditioning, he proposed strategically placing windows that allow indirect sunlight to enter while generating airflow that serves as natural ventilation (通风).
But despite working closely with local craftspeople (工匠), Kéré said he faced disagreement with his choice of materials. The use of traditional clay bricks, which offer natural cooling, was not entirely welcomed by villagers, who thought the structure would not resist the rainy season as well as glass and steel.
“There is still a feeling that everything that’s local is primitive (原始的),” he said. “Let’s say 90% of people in Gando use clay, but they see it as a ‘poor person’s material.’ So, when they have more money to spend, they try to look for other materials.”
“The more local materials you use, the better you can promote the local economy and build local knowledge, which also makes people proud,” Kéré added.
5. What can we learn about the Pritzker Prize
A. It was founded in 1943. B. Its first winner is an African.
C. Its aim is to encourage modest works. D. It usually favors iconic buildings.
6. What is special about Kéré’s design
A. Breaking with traditions. B. Applying imported material.
C. Making full use of local materials. D. Generating electricity from the sun.
7. What challenge did Kéré meet
A. The villagers preferred modern materials. B.The villagers were short of steel and glass.
C. The local materials couldn’t resist the heat.
D. The local materials were not environmentally friendly.
8. What’s the main idea of the text
A. Local materials promoted local economy.
B. An African architect won the 2022 Pritzker Prize.
C. Kéré’s design became the fashion trend of architecture.
D. Kéré and his community worked together to cope with climate crisis.
二、七选五
As digital devices have taken over society“keyboard activity” is now often recommended as a substitute(替代物) for early handwriting, a new study notes. ____9____.
“Some schools in Norway have become completely digital,” notes Audrey Vander Meer, the new study’s leader, who works at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim. ____10____. The human brain has developed to interact with the world in as many ways as possible, she notes. She believes that young children should learn to write by hand successfully, and, at the same time learn to manage a keyboard.
____11____. Her new findings prove this. This is because writing and printing involve complex movements that activate more areas of the brain. The increased brain activity, “gives the brain more ‘hooks’ to hang your memories on,” she explains.
Think about it. The same movement is required to type each letter on a keyboard. By comparison, when we write, our brain needs to think about and recover memories of each letter. ____12____. And we need to control our hands to press a pen or pencil to shape the different letters. All of these use and connect more areas of the brain.
Along the way, these processes appear to “open the brain up for learning”, says Vander Meer. ____13____. She expresses her worries.
Vander Meer also points out that taking notes by hand stimulates “visual note-taking”. Rather than typing blindly, the visual note-taker has to think about what is important to write down. Then, key words can be “interlinked (互连的) by boxes, and arrows, and supplemented by small drawings”.
A. Young kids should learn several basic drawing skills.
B. It is believed that typing may be easier for young children.
C. Using a pen involves more of the brain than using a keyboard.
D. It has to be done by hand, not necessarily typing on a keyboard.
E. So learning through only one format—digital—could be harmful.
F. She measures brain activity to better understand learning and behaviors
G. It is also necessary for us to use our eyes to watch what shapes we are writing.
三、完形填空

In middle school, I ____16____ Language Arts with Mrs. Smith, who was ____17____ with us. When I told her that I have ADD and asked her if I might be able to use my word processor(处理器)at home to do written ____18____, she gave me a questioning look and said, “You are ____19____ different from anyone else, young man.” She ____20____, “I will not give you an unfair advantage over your peers!” The ____21____ was that my each paper came back decorated by Mrs. Smith’s red X’s(红叉).
One day, after she had handed me back my fifth X’s paper of the term, I ____22____ her desk for the second time. However, she responded immediately, “It’s against school policy, young man. No unfair advantages.” So I had no choice but to prove to her or rather prove to myself, that I could do the work under the right ____23____. I secretly unfolded the assignment on my bed that night. The story, which had seemed so ____24____ in class, became quite clear to me. With my word processor, my thoughts ____25____ so fast that my fingers danced across the keyboard, explaining myself in hopes that Mrs. Smith would finally ____26____ me. The next day, as my eyes focused on the white page, I found an A ____27____ the paper instead of X. Underneath were her neatly red-penned words. “See what you can do when you ____28____ the boundaries of your limit ”

A 细节理解题。根据第四段中“They develop ‘play-based learning’ programs that go against the first characteristic of play because they are chosen and set up by the teacher and are more-or-less forced upon the children rather than freely chosen by them.(他们开发了‘以玩耍为基础的学习’项目,这与游戏的第一个特征背道而驰,因为这些项目是由老师选择和设置的,或多或少是强迫孩子们的,而不是由他们自由选择的)”可知,“以玩耍为基础的学习”的问题在于这些项目是由老师选择和设置的,孩子不能自由选择。
4. A 主旨大意题。根据全文内容,结合文章首句“I’ve been wondering how kids themselves, especially young ones, define(定义) play.(我一直在想孩子们,尤其是小孩子,是如何定义玩耍的)”可知,文章主要介绍孩子如何定义玩耍。
【B篇】
【语篇导读】:本文的语篇类型是新闻报道,主题语境为人与社会。文章主要介绍了一位非洲建筑师Kéré获得了2022年普利兹克奖,并介绍了Kéré的建筑风格。

6. C 细节理解题。根据第四段关键句“Casting mud like concrete (混凝土) and preferring local materials to imported ones, Kéré proposes a vision of architecture that both strengthens communities and responds to the climate crisis.”(浇筑泥状混凝土,首选当地材料而非进口材料,Kéré提出了一种既能加强社区又能应对气候危机的建筑愿景。)可知,Kéré设计的建筑首选当地材料而非进口材料,由此可知,Kéré的设计的特别之处在于充分利用当地材料。
7. A 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段内容“But despite working closely with local craftspeople (工匠), Kéré said he faced disagreement with his choice of materials. The use of traditional clay bricks, which offer natural cooling, was not entirely welcomed by villagers, who thought the structure would not resist the rainy season as well as glass and steel.”(但尽管与当地工匠密切合作,Kéré表示,当地人和他对材料的选择仍存在分歧。村民们并不完全欢迎使用传统的粘土砖来提供自然冷却,他们认为这种建筑不能像玻璃和钢铁一样抵御雨季。)可知,Kéré和当地人对材料的选择存在分歧,村民们更喜欢像玻璃和钢铁一样的现代材料,不完全欢迎使用传统的粘土砖,由此可知,Kéré遇到的挑战是村民们更喜欢现代材料。故选A项。
8. B 主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段内容“On Tuesday, organizers of the Pritzker Prize, often known as the “Nobel of architecture,” revealed Kéré as its 2022 winner.”(周二,通常被称为“建筑诺贝尔奖”的普利兹克奖的组织者宣布Kéré为其2022年的获奖者。)可知,文章主要介绍了一位非洲建筑师Kéré获得了2022年普利兹克奖,并介绍了Kéré的建筑风格,“An African architect won the 2022 Pritzker Prize.”意为“一位非洲建筑师获得2022年普利兹克奖。”选项能够表达文章主要内容。
