板块一：真题再现

[（2020·全国二卷·高考真题）]

Some parents will buy any high-tech toy if they think it will help their child, but researchers said puzzles help children with math-related skills.

Psychologist Susan Levine, an expert on mathematics development in young children at the University of Chicago, found children who play with puzzles between ages 2 and 4 later develop better spatial skills. Puzzle play was found to be a significant predictor of cognition(认知) after controlling for differences in parents’ income, education and the amount of parent talk, Levine said.

The researchers analyzed video recordings of 53 child-parent pairs during everyday activities at home and found children who play with puzzles between 26 and 46 months of age have better spatial skills when assessed at 54 months of age.

“The children who played with puzzles performed better than those who did not, on tasks that assessed their ability to rotate(旋转)and translate shapes,” Levine said in a statement.

The parents were asked to interact with their children as they normally would, and about half of the children in the study played with puzzles at one time. Higher-income parents tended to have children play with puzzles more frequently, and both boys and girls who played with puzzles had better spatial skills. However, boys tended to play with more complex puzzles than girls, and the parents of boys provided more spatial language and were more active during puzzle play than parents of girls.

The findings were published in the journal Developmental Science.

24. In which aspect do children benefit from puzzle play?

A. Building confidence.        B. Developing spatial skills.

C. Learning self-control.       D. Gaining high-tech knowledge.

25.What did Levine take into consideration when designing her experiment？

A. Parents’ age.              B. Children’s imagination.

C. Parents’ education.         D. Child-parent relationship.

26. How do boys differ from girls in puzzle play?

A. They play with puzzles more often.

B. They tend to talk less during the game.

C. They prefer to use more spatial language.

D. They are likely to play with tougher puzzles.

27. What is the text mainly about?

A. A mathematical method.      B. A scientific study.

C. A woman psychologist      D. A teaching program.

14. Young children who play with puzzles __________ (develop) better spatial skills later in life.

both boys and girls benefited from puzzle play. However, boys tended to play with more complex puzzles than girls, and their parents provided more spatial language during play.

Passage C

The findings of this study highlight the importance of puzzle play in early childhood education. Puzzles are not just toys; they are valuable tools for developing cognitive skills. The study suggests that parents should encourage their children to engage in puzzle play from an early age. Teachers can also incorporate puzzles into classroom activities to enhance students' spatial reasoning abilities. The research adds to the growing evidence that play-based learning is essential for healthy cognitive development. The study was published in the journal Developmental Science, a leading publication in the field of child psychology.

板块七：参考译文

如果有些父母认为高科技玩具能帮助孩子，他们就会购买，但研究人员表示，拼图可以帮助孩子提高与数学相关的技能。

芝加哥大学的儿童数学发展专家、心理学家苏珊·莱文发现，2至4岁玩拼图的孩子后来会发展出更好的空间技能。莱文说，在控制了父母收入、教育程度和父母谈话量的差异后，研究发现拼图游戏是认知的一个重要预测指标。

研究人员分析了53对亲子在日常家庭活动中的录像，发现在26至46个月大时玩拼图的孩子在54个月大时接受评估时具有更好的空间技能。

“在评估他们旋转和平移形状能力的任务中，玩拼图的孩子比不玩的孩子表现更好，”莱文在一份声明中说。

父母被要求像往常一样与孩子互动，研究中大约一半的孩子曾玩过拼图。高收入父母倾向于更频繁地让孩子玩拼图，玩拼图的男孩和女孩都有更好的空间技能。然而，男孩倾向于玩比女孩更复杂的拼图，男孩的父母在拼图游戏中比女孩的父母提供了更多的空间语言，并且更活跃。

研究结果发表在《发展科学》期刊上。
