Question

【題目】 Most people may think that people who write computer code (代碼) must be good at Maths and logical (邏輯的) thinking. However, people who write computer code say that creativity is also important for writting code.

Software developers (開發(fā)者) in the USA have created a game called Osmo Coding Jam. The game is designed to help children use the creative side of their minds when learning to code. Children can play the game on iPads.

Tanya Dodge is the mother of two children who play the game. According to her, these activities give her children important skills for the future. “It’s an analytical (分析的) skill,” said Dodge.

But the developers believe writing code is not just an analytical skill. “We want to explore the creative side of coding that I think is often not as explored,” said Felix Hu, an Osmo engineer. Hu added, “The coolest part is that we’re teaching kids how to be creative with code and that’s a really important thing that kids should get comfortable with because coding is creative.”

Hu also sees many parents who feel that software code is a second language that children need to learn to succeed in future jobs. Tanya Dodge agrees. She said, “l(fā) think you’re going to have to understand the idea of coding will work well in the future.” Hu also explains that very often kids grow up not understanding how a computer works. He says by breaking it down to a lower level, kids can understand that the computer isn’t as smart as they think it is.

【1】What is Osmo Coding Jam designed for?

A.Training kids’ logical thinking.B.Helping kids learn to code fast.

C.Helping children learn Maths well.D.Helping kids become more creative.

【2】What does Tanya Dodge think of Osmo Coding Jam?

A.It needs to be improved.B.It can help kids play well.

C.It is of great help to today’s kids.D.It is not perfect in training kids’ analytical skills.

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A.If someone doesn’t learn Maths well, he or she can’t write code.

B.Creativity comes from writing code in daily life.

C.Writing code is just a skill which helps kids to analyze things well.

D.A lot of parents agree that software code will be useful for their kids’ future jobs.

【4】The writer wrote this passage __________.

A.to tell how to learn to code wellB.to tell about a new game for kids

C.to encourage kids to learn to study wellD.to show the importance of creativity

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】C

【3】D

【4】B

【解析】

作者在文中主要介紹了一種幫助孩子們在學(xué)習(xí)代碼的過程中開發(fā)創(chuàng)造力的兒童游戲。

【1】句意：Osmo Coding Jam的設(shè)計(jì)目的是什么？細(xì)節(jié)理解題。A.培養(yǎng)孩子的邏輯思維。B.幫助孩子學(xué)習(xí)快速編碼。C.幫助孩子很好地學(xué)習(xí)數(shù)學(xué)。D.幫助孩子變得更有創(chuàng)造力。原文The game is designed to help children use the creative side of their minds when learning to code.（該游戲旨在幫助兒童在學(xué)習(xí)編碼時(shí)使用他們思維的創(chuàng)造性。）說明了其設(shè)計(jì)目的，故選D。

【2】句意：Tanya Dodge對Osmo Coding Jam的看法是什么？A.需要改進(jìn)。B.它可以幫助孩子們玩得很好。C.這對今天的孩子們有很大的幫助。D.在培養(yǎng)孩子的分析能力方面并不完美。原文According to her, these activities give her children important skills for the future.（據(jù)她介紹，這些活動(dòng)為她的孩子們未來提供了重要技能。）說明他認(rèn)為這對今天的孩子們有很大的幫助，故選C。

【3】句意：我們可以從這篇文章中知道什么？主旨大意題。A.如果有人不能很好地學(xué)習(xí)數(shù)學(xué)，他或她就無法寫代碼。B.創(chuàng)造力來自于在日常生活中編寫代碼。C.編寫代碼只是一種幫助孩子很好地分析問題的技能。D.許多家長都認(rèn)為軟件代碼對孩子未來的工作很有用。原文Hu also sees many parents who feel that software code is a second language that children need to learn to succeed in future jobs.（胡還看到很多家長認(rèn)為軟件代碼是孩子們在未來工作中需要學(xué)習(xí)的第二語言。）說明許多家長都認(rèn)為軟件代碼對孩子未來的工作很有用，其他選項(xiàng)無依據(jù)，故選D。

【4】句意：這位作者寫這篇文章告訴孩子一個(gè)新的游戲。主旨大意題。A.講述如何學(xué)好編碼；B.告訴孩子一個(gè)新的游戲；C.鼓勵(lì)孩子好好學(xué)習(xí)；D.表明創(chuàng)造力的重要性。這篇文章的作者主要介紹了一種幫助孩子們在學(xué)習(xí)代碼的過程中開發(fā)創(chuàng)造力的兒童游戲。所以主題是在介紹一款新的游戲，故選B。
