Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2025·湖南长沙)
In an era where policymakers neglect play's significance, its absence from national agendas highlights its overlooked status. Since 2008, the UK has lacked a unified play plan, with the Conservative Party (保守党) neglecting previous Labour efforts (unlike Scotland and Wales). Some non profit organizations are trying hard, yet their impact and resources are limited.
The sudden stop to a parliamentary report on children and the built environment, which was close to ending during the election calls, highlights the previous administration's disrespect for the issue. The Children's Minister, David Johnston, reinforced this neglect by refusing to provide evidence, signaling a broader lack of attention to children's well being.
Amid Labour's proposals to ease planning regulations to ensure that new developments meet children's needs, play should take on a more notable role. Even in educational settings, play could offer a healthy alternative to excessive screen time. Experts, including Professor Heler Dodd, stress that the scarcity of opportunities for unstructured and adventurous play contributes to rising anxiety among young people. The well documented connection between sedentary (惯于久坐不动的) lifestyles, poor diets, and unhealthy weights emphasizes the importance of addressing this issue immediately.
The Centre for Young Lives, founded by Anne Longfield, the former Children's Commissioner for England, has taken the initiative by launching a commission to advance this critical agenda. A suggested solution is to incorporate (使并入) play into Office for Standards in Education's inspection framework, although concerns arise about the potential for turning children's leisure activities into a game or assigning grades.
While play is a natural part of childhood, the new government must go beyond the assumption that children will naturally benefit from play without the guidance of strategic policies. Francis Al s's video artwork serves as a powerful reminder of the richness and value of play, emphasizing its potential to enrich lives and foster creativity.
Bridget Phillipson, the freshly appointed Education Minister, stands ready to back this vital cause. By acknowledging the urgency to restore play as a cornerstone of childhood, she can pave the way for a brighter, more energetic future for our youth. The moment to act is upon us, and the potential for success is high.
1. What's the main problem about play in the UK
A. The lack of non profit organizations' support.
B. The election of a new anti play government.
C. The neglect of the crucial role of play in national agendas.
D. The success of Scotland and Wales in applying play policies.

4. What's the tone of Bridget Phillipson in the last paragraph

答案及解析:本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了英国政府忽视儿童游戏的重要性,并呼吁将游戏作为童年的重要组成部分加以重视。
1. C 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“In an era where policymakers neglect play's significance, its absence from national agendas highlights its overlooked status.(在一个决策者忽视游戏重要性的时代,游戏在国家议程上的缺失凸显了其被忽视的地位。)”可知,游戏在英国面临的主要问题是它在国家议程中被忽视。故选C。
2. B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Experts, including Professor Heler Dodd, stress that the scarcity of opportunities for unstructured and adventurous play contributes to rising anxiety among young people.(包括Heler Dodd教授在内的专家强调,缺乏无结构的冒险游戏机会导致年轻人焦虑情绪上升。)”可知,年轻人焦虑增加的一个因素是缺乏冒险游戏。故选B。
3. D 文章意图题。根据文章的整体内容,特别是最后一段中的“By acknowledging the urgency to restore play as a cornerstone of childhood, she can pave the way for a brighter, more energetic future for our youth.(通过认识到恢复游戏作为童年基石的紧迫性,她可以为我们的青年开辟一个更加光明、更充满活力的未来。)”可知,这篇文章的主要目的是重新强调游戏在童年的重要性。故选D。
4. A 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Bridget Phillipson, the freshly appointed Education Minister, stands ready to back this vital cause.(新任命的教育部长Bridget Phillipson准备好了支持这一至关重要的事业。)”以及“The moment to act is upon us, and the potential for success is high.(行动的时刻到了,成功的潜力很高。)”可知,Bridget Phillipson的态度是乐观的。故选A。
“推理判断题之文章意图题”答题技能 第一步 判断文体:
广告类应用文常常通过介绍产品、服务、旅游景点、报纸杂志、影片、电视节目等达到推销产品或服务的目的(to advertise/encourage…);
故事类记叙文的写作意图通常是娱乐读者或给读者教益(to entertain/educate…);
议论文及评论类的文章,作者往往是要说服读者接受或赞同自己的观点(to argue/persuade/call for…);
科普类、新闻报道类的文章,作者主要是想说明情况或阐明事理(to inform/stress/explain/introduce…)。
第二步 总结主旨:有些较难判断文体的文章,可以通过总结文章的主旨或归纳各段的主旨推断作者的写作意图。
名师点睛:主要考查考生对英语文本的整体感知或理解能力,做此类题的关键是要了解文章的体裁和题材,把握文章的主题思想。 Ⅱ.应用文赏析
