Abraham Lincoln was a typical self-made man.He got his license to practice law without ever having stepped foot inside a college.Everywhere he went，Lincoln carried a book with him.He looked through page after page while his horse rested at the end of a long row of planting.Whenever he could escape work，he would lie with his head against a tree and read.

Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读
Though the young Lincoln never left America，he traveled with Byron’s Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage to Spain and Portugal，accompanied Robert Burns to Edinburgh，and followed the English kings into battle with Shakespeare.As he explored the wonders of literature and the history of the country，the young Lincoln developed ambitions far beyond the expectations of his family and neighbors.It was through literature that he was able to go beyond his surroundings and reach his destination.
The books to feed Lincoln’s knowledge hunger did not come cheaply.The story is often recounted of the time he borrowed Parson Weems’s The Life of George Washington from Josiah Crawford，a well-to-do farmer.Touched by this story of the first president’s life，he took the book to his room at night，where he read as long as he could stay awake，placing the book on a shelf between the logs(圆木) so he could fetch it at daybreak.During a heavy rainstorm one day，the book was badly soiled.Lincoln went to Crawford’s house，explained what had happened and offered to work off the value of the book.Crawford worked out the value of two full days’ work pulling corn，which Lincoln considered an unfair repayment.Nevertheless，he straightaway set to work and kept on until all work was done.Then，having paid his debt，Lincoln wrote poems and songs making fun of Crawford’s large nose.Thus Crawford won an everlasting place in Lincoln’s writings.

B(此篇精读)
It’s widely recognized that play-based learning significantly benefits the cognitive①，physical，social，and emotional health of children.Recent research suggests that certain board games，such as Chutes and Ladders and Monopoly，can further contribute to enhancing their mathematical abilities.
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了关于棋盘游戏对儿童数学技能影响的研究。
A team of researchers from Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile in Santiago，Chile，reached this conclusion after a comprehensive analysis of 19 studies conducted between the years 2000 and 2023.With the exception of one study，all focused on the correlation② between board games and the development of math skills.
In these studies，children aged between 3 and 9 engaged in board games under the watchful eyes of teachers or trained adults.The structured 20-minute gaming sessions were held twice weekly for a duration of approximately six weeks.In some of the studies，one group of children (the intervention group) played board games that were centered around numbers，while another group (the control group) played games that did not necessitate mathematical skills.In other instances，both the intervention and control groups indulged in number-based games，but they were assigned different games，such as Monopoly and Dominoes.
The mathematical proficiency of the children was evaluated both at the beginning and the end of each study.The researchers were particularly interested in observing improvements in four pivotal(关键性的) areas including the ability to name numbers and exhibit basic numerical understanding，for instance，recognizing that “nine is greater than three”.They also monitored the children’s progress in addition and subtraction，as well as their burgeoning interest in mathematics.
The findings of this study were published in the academic journal Early Years on July 6,2023.The results indicated that engaging in board games positively influenced the children’s math skills in more than half of the four key areas examined.Moreover，nearly a third of the children in the intervention groups outperformed their counterparts in the control groups on math assessments.
The researchers are optimistic that their findings will encourage the development of new board games specifically tailored for③ educational purposes in classrooms.In the meantime，consider enhancing your own mathematical skills by organizing a board game night with family and friends this summer—it all adds up to a fun and educational experience!
5.What’s the researchers’ attitude towards the relationship between play-based learning and children’s well-being
A.Negative. B.Positive.
C.Doubtful. D.Indifferent.
观点态度题。根据第一段中“It’s widely recognized that play-based learning significantly benefits the cognitive，physical，social，and emotional health of children.”可知，人们广泛认同基于游戏的学习对儿童的认知、身体、社交和情感健康有显著益处，后文提到的近年来的研究也是在证实这一点，由此可推知研究人员对基于游戏的学习和孩子的健康之间的关系持积极态度。故选B。
解析
√
6.How were the participants’ math skills assessed
A.By giving examples.
B.By asking questions.
C.By making comparisons.
D.By providing definitions.
推理判断题。根据第四段“The mathematical proficiency of the children was evaluated both at the beginning and the end of each study.The researchers were particularly interested in observing improvements in...They also monitored the children’s progress in...”可知，参与者的数学技能是通过比较研究前后的变化来评估的。故选C。

B.The introduction of play-based learning in schools.

A
Abraham Lincoln was a typical self-made man.He got his license to practice law without ever having stepped foot inside a college.Everywhere he went，Lincoln carried a book with him.He looked through page after page while his horse rested at the end of a long row of planting.Whenever he could escape work，he would lie with his head against a tree and read.
Though the young Lincoln never left America，he traveled with Byron’s Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage to Spain and Portugal，accompanied Robert Burns to Edinburgh，and followed the English kings into battle with Shakespeare.As he explored the wonders of literature and the history of the country，the young Lincoln developed ambitions far beyond the expectations of his family and neighbors.It was through literature that he was able to go beyond his surroundings and reach his destination.
The books to feed Lincoln’s knowledge hunger did not come cheaply.The story is often recounted of the time he borrowed Parson Weems’s The Life of George Washington from Josiah Crawford，a well-to-do farmer.Touched by this story of the first president’s life，he took the book to his room at night，where he read as long as he could stay awake，placing the book on a shelf between the logs(圆木) so he could fetch it at daybreak.During a heavy rainstorm one day，the book was badly soiled.Lincoln went to Crawford’s house，explained what had happened and offered to work off the value of the book.Crawford worked out the value of two full days’ work pulling corn，which Lincoln considered an unfair repayment.Nevertheless，he straightaway set to work and kept on until all work was done.Then，having paid his debt，Lincoln wrote poems and songs making fun of Crawford’s large nose.Thus Crawford won an everlasting place in Lincoln’s writings.

B(此篇精读)
It’s widely recognized that play-based learning significantly benefits the cognitive①，physical，social，and emotional health of children.Recent research suggests that certain board games，such as Chutes and Ladders and Monopoly，can further contribute to enhancing their mathematical abilities.
A team of researchers from Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile in Santiago，Chile，reached this conclusion after a comprehensive analysis of 19 studies conducted between the years 2000 and 2023.With the exception of one study，all focused on the correlation② between board games and the development of math skills.
In these studies，children aged between 3 and 9 engaged in board games under the watchful eyes of teachers or trained adults.The structured 20-minute gaming sessions were held twice weekly for a duration of approximately six weeks.In some of the studies，one group of children (the intervention group) played board games that were centered around numbers，while another group (the control group) played games that did not necessitate mathematical skills.In other instances，both the intervention and control groups indulged in number-based games，but they were assigned different games，such as Monopoly and Dominoes.
The mathematical proficiency of the children was evaluated both at the beginning and the end of each study.The researchers were particularly interested in observing improvements in four pivotal(关键性的) areas including the ability to name numbers and exhibit basic numerical understanding，for instance，recognizing that “nine is greater than three”．They also monitored the children’s progress in addition and subtraction，as well as their burgeoning interest in mathematics.
The findings of this study were published in the academic journal Early Years on July 6,2023.The results indicated that engaging in board games positively influenced the children’s math skills in more than half of the four key areas examined.Moreover，nearly a third of the children in the intervention groups outperformed their counterparts in the control groups on math assessments.
The researchers are optimistic that their findings will encourage the development of new board games specifically tailored for③ educational purposes in classrooms.In the meantime，consider enhancing your own mathematical skills by organizing a board game night with family and friends this summer—it all adds up to a fun and educational experience!
