Question

【題目】 Did you know that the games you play with children can influence their interest in math and science as they grow older? Young children are easily able to learn concepts such as big and small, high and low, fast and slow, and heavy and light, but by helping children learn these concepts, you are helping them develop an interest in math and science.

When parents encourage their children to ask questions and help them explore and discover the natural world, they are helping build an interest in math and science. Many scientists say that children who have such experiences at the early age can develop confidence in math and science that pays off (得到回報) as they get older.

Here are some ideas for what you can do to help develop children’s interest in math and science.

Go for a walk with your children. Take time to stop along the way and look at things that the children notice, such as flowers, animals, and insects. Talk with them about what you see, and ask about what they see.

Draw pictures together. Draw a picture of what you have seen, whether it was on the front steps, in the backyard, or something you can see from your window. Ask the child to draw a plant, an animal, or a favorite place, and then ask him or her to tell you about the drawing.

Turn a drawing into a story. write down what your child says about the picture he or she just drew. Ask the child to make up a story about the picture, and keep it with other artwork and stories he or she has developed.

【解析】

文章介紹了如何建立孩子對數(shù)學(xué)和科學(xué)的興趣給出的一些建議。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中Did you know that the games you play with children can influence their interest in math and science as they grow older? 你知道你和孩子們玩的游戲會影響他們長大后對數(shù)學(xué)和科學(xué)的興趣嗎？可知，是要和他們一起玩，故選B。

【2】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)文中such as big and small, high and low, fast and slow, and heavy and light可知，這些都是一些概念，這些事小孩子容易學(xué)到的，所以concepts指的是“概念”，故選A。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中Go for a walk with your children.，Draw pictures together.和Tum a drawing into a story.可知，可以和孩子們一起散步，一起畫畫，把一幅畫變成一個故事�？芍�，這里不包括看電影，故選A。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中When parents encourage their children to ask questions and help them explore and discover the natural world, they are helping build an interest in math and science.當(dāng)父母鼓勵孩子提出問題，幫助他們探索和發(fā)現(xiàn)自然世界時，他們正在幫助培養(yǎng)對數(shù)學(xué)和科學(xué)的興趣�？芍�A選項正確；根據(jù)文中Talk with them about what you see, and ask about what they see.和他們談?wù)勀憧吹降模瑔枂査麄兛吹搅耸裁��？芍�，這里是所給的建議中的一點(diǎn)，所以B選項是正確的；根據(jù)文中Tum a drawing into a story. Write down what your child says about the picture he or she just drew. Ask the child to make up a story about the picture把圖畫變成故事。寫下你的孩子對他或她剛畫的畫所說的話。讓孩子編一個關(guān)于這幅畫的故事，可知是要先畫畫再講故事，而不是畫畫之前講故事，所以C選項錯誤；根據(jù)文中Draw a picture of what you have seen把你所看到的畫一幅畫，可知D選項是正確的，故選C。

【5】主旨大意題。根據(jù)整篇文章的理解及文中Did you know that the games you play with children can influence their interest in math and science as they grow older?和Here are some ideas for what you can do to help develop children’s interest in math and science.可知，文章講述的是如何建立孩子們在數(shù)學(xué)和科學(xué)方面的興趣，故選D。
