A
Children have their own rules in playing games They seldom need a referee
裁判) and rarely trouble to keep scores.They don't care much about who wins or loses, it doesn't seem to worry them if the came is not finished. Yet,they like games that depend a lot on luck,so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared.They also enjoy games that move in stages in which each stage,the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides,or the determining of which side shall start,is almost a game in itself.
Grown-ups can hardly find children's games exciting,and they often feel puzzled at why their kids play such simple games again and again.However,it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons.He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person,and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinarily afraid.He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn.He can be confident,too,in particular games that it is his place to give orders,to pretend to be dead,to throw a ball actually at someone,or to kiss someone he has caught.
It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under
their control.Everyone knows the rules,and more importantly.everyone plays according to the rules.Those rules may be childish,but they make sure that every
child has a chance to win.
56.What is true about children when they play games?
A.they can sTOP playing any time they like
B.They can test their personal abilities.
C.They want to pick a better team.
D.They don't need rules.
57.T0 become a leader in a game the child has to_________
A. play well
B.wait for his tum
C.be confident in himself
D.be popular among his playmates
58.Why does a child like playing games?
A.Because he can be someone other than himself.
B.Because he can become popular among friends.
C.Because he finds he is always lucky in games.
D.Because he likes the place where he plays a game.
B
Playing computer games is getting serious.
Washington teacher Tammie Schrieffer is so enthusiastic about computer games in education that she thinks they can be used to teach programming skills which will
help students in college-starting in middle school.
Canadian teacher Justin Holladay wrote a few simple games to help his students
practice math skills,and when they caught on,he started his own company to create
more of them.
And the university of Washington's Zoran Popovic got more than 4,000
Washington students to master linear equationsthis spring by playing
computer game for just a few hours.
The growing availabilityof inexpensive tablet computers and a new
Castration of young teachers who grew up playing on computers have aroused
interest in games for serious purposes.
“Six or seven years ago,selling games to schools was brutal."said
David Martz of Muzzy Lane Software,a Boston,US company that produces games
for publishers such as McGraw-Hill.Now,he said,schools are interested in the
promise of games-perhaps because gaming is so much more mainstream.
Software and education companies have tried for many years to combine
youngsters' passion for computer games with educational progress,without much
success.
Popovic thinks the first efforts to combine games with education fell flat_ because they were created by commercial companies.These companies were more interested in selling products than seeing students master a skill.
59.What can we conclude from the first four paragraphs?
A.Many US teachers devote themselves to creating computer games for students.
B.An increasing number of teachers think computer games can help students learn.
C.Teachers hold different views toward the application of computer games in schools.
D.Many US schools are encouraging students to play computer games to relax.
60.Which of the following have helped promote computer games in schools according to the article?
a.The availability of low-priced tablet computers.
b.The favor of young teachers.
c.The adverti百度竞价推广ents of commercial companies.
d.Parents' support.
e.Better games being produced.
A.a,b,c
B.a,c,d
C.a,b,e
D.b,d,e
61.The underlined phrase"fell flat"in Paragraph 8probably means
A.turned out successful
B.caught attention
C.caused confusion
D.ended in failure

sentences than you need.
请按题号涂卡!
A.Do you have quick recall after a day,or you simply forget everything? B.This approach works better than any other method for learning words. C.On the contrary,you are discovering your weaknesses,if any. D.Every chapter of this book is divided into"sessions." E.Real learning goes on only through active participation. F.Find the suitable technique and speed for your unique learning patterns. |
If you intend to work with this book seriously,I suggest that you give yourself
every advantage by carefully following the laws of learning:
Space your learning.
__________Each session may take one half hour to an hour and a half,depending on
the amount of material and on your own speed of learning.Do one or two sessions at
a time--three if you're going strong and are all involved--and always decide when you
sTOP and exactly when you will return.
Do not rush-go at your own comfortable speed.
Everyone learns at a different pace. Fast learners are no better than slow learners--it's the end result that counts,not the time it takes you to finish.
Review.
When you start a new session,go back to the last exercise of the previous session, cover your answers and see how much you remember.____________________
Test yourself
You are not aiming for a grade,or putting your worth on the line,when you take
the Comprehensive Tests. ______________________________You are deciding where repairs have to be made,
and especially,you are experiencing a feeling of success at work that is well done.
Use these tests,as well as the abundant drill,exercises,as aids to learning.No one is perfect,no one learns in the exact same way or at the same speed as anyone else. __________And then,give yourself every opportunity to exploit your actual latent and potential abilities.
But moat important of all,as I will remind you several times throughout this book,develop a schedule and stick to it!
