Answer to question 27: B
Corresponding to the original text: Paragraph 4: Definitions range from discrete descriptions of various types of play such as physical, construction, language, or symbolic play (Miller&Almon 2009)
Answer analysis: The original text mentioned a definition of play as "respective descriptions of various types of play, such as physical, constructive, verbal or symbolic play". Where discrete corresponds to separate, and types corresponds to categories, so B Miller&Almon is the answer.
Answer to question 28: G
Corresponding to the original text: Paragraph 8: The adult's role in play varieties as a function of their educational gold and the child's developmental level (Hirsch Pasek et al. 2009)
Answer analysis: In paragraph 8, it is mentioned that "the role of adults in play will vary according to different educational objectives and functions and different levels of children's development". That is, the goals of adults will affect the way they play with children. In the original text, role corresponds to how they play, and goals is the original word, so G Hirsch Pasek et al. is the answer.
Answer to question 29: F
Corresponding to the original text: Paragraph 7: Researcher Joan Goodman (1994) suggested that hybrid forms of work and play are not a restriction to learning; rather, they can provide optimal contexts for learning
Answer analysis: In paragraph 7, it is mentioned that "researcher Joan Goodman believes that the mixed form of work and play does not harm learning. On the contrary, they can provide the best environment for learning". Among them, hybrid forms correspond to combining and optimal in the question stem, which corresponds to best way, so F is determined as the answer.
Answer to question 30: E
Corresponding to the original: Paragraph 6: how, other researchers have suggested that process orientation and a layer of objective functional purpose may be the most important aspects of play (e.g. Pellegrini 2009)
Answer analysis: As mentioned in paragraph 6, "other researchers believe that process orientation and lack of obvious functional purpose may be the most important aspects of play". Where process orientation and Lack of Objective Functional Purpose correspond to certain elements, and more significant correspond to most important, so E Pellegrini is the correct answer.
Answer to question 31: C
Corresponding to the original: Paragraph 5: After, play is defined along a continuous as more or less playful using the following set of behavioral and dispositional criteria (e.g. Rubin et al. 1983)
Answer analysis: This sentence in the original text is not easy to translate, which generally means "Generally speaking, play is defined along the continuum formed according to the degree of fun according to the following standards of behavior and intention". But even if we don't know the specific meaning of this sentence, we can also determine C Rubin et al. as the correct answer according to the correspondence between more or less playful and scale of playfulness, as well as criteria and classified.
Answer to question 32: NO
The drive to play is so important that children will do so in any circles, for instance when they have no real toys
Answer analysis: At the beginning of the first paragraph, it is pointed out that "the demand for play is so strong that children will do so under any circumstances, even without real toys". It can be seen that children do not need toys to play. The description of the question stem is contrary to the original text, so the answer is No
Answer to question 33: YES
Corresponding to the original text: Paragraph 2: Our society has created a false dichotomy between play and learning
Answer analysis: The last sentence of paragraph 2 mentions that "our society has established a wrong opposition between play and learning". Mistake in the question stem corresponds to false, separate corresponds to dichotomy, that is, all the main information points can be found in the original text, and the answer is YES.
Answer to question 34: NOT GIVEN
Corresponding to the original text: Paragraph 3: children learn to regulate their behavior, lay the foundations for later learning in science and mathematics, figure out the complex negotiations of social relationships, build a repertoire of creative problem-solving skills, and so much more.
Answer analysis: Paragraph 3 lists many benefits brought by play, but does not mention anything related to art. The artistic talents in the question stem are created out of nothing, so the answer is NOT GIVEN.
Answer to question 35: NO
Corresponding to the original text: Paragraph 4: Full consciousness on a formal definition of play continues to study the researchers and themselves who study it
Answer analysis: It is mentioned at the beginning of paragraph 4 that "researchers and theorists of play have been unable to reach an agreement on the definition of play". Of course, the original text uses a more vivid expression, "the definition has been evading researchers". The description of agreement in the question stem conflicts with this, so the answer is NO.
Answer to question 36: YES
Corresponding to the original text: Paragraph 7: Unlike play, work is typically not viewed as enjoyable and it is extremely motivated (i.e. it is goal oriented)
Answer analysis: Paragraph 7 mentions that "unlike play, work is usually regarded as boring and externally driven (i.e. goal oriented)". It can be seen that one difference between play and work is whether they have goals, so the answer is YES.
Answer to question 37: encouraging
In the more direct form of guided play, parents or other adults can support children’s play by joining in the fun as a co-player, raising thoughtful questions, commenting on children’s discoveries, or encouraging further exploration or new facets to the child’s activity.
Answer analysis: locate to paragraph 9 according to the simple form of guided play, and then locate to the following sentence according to the alternative. The synonymous replacement of different aspects and new facets comes from the old roast duck IELTS. Let's focus on the last item of the parallel relationship. From the stem of the question, we can infer that the space should be filled with the ing form of a verb, from which we can determine that encouraging is the correct answer.
Answer to question 38: aspire
Corresponding to the original text: Paragraph 9: Although playful learning can be somewhat structured, it must also be child centered (Nicolapolou et al. 2006) Play should stem from the child’s own desire.
Answer analysis: locate this sentence according to structured. The synonymous replacement of based on and stem from, together with the ownership of child, makes it easy to determine that aspire is the correct answer.
Answer to question 39: autonomy
Corresponding to the original text: Paragraph 10: Intrinsically motivated free play provides the child with true autonomy
Answer analysis: follow the previous question and locate this sentence according to the correspondence between without the interaction and free play. True is synonymous with real, and the answer is autonomy according to the modifier relationship.
Answer to question 40: targeted
Corresponding to the original text: Paragraph 10: while guided play is an avenue through which parents and educators can provide more targeted learning experiences
Answer analysis: according to the corresponding positioning of guided play and with achievements, we can infer from the stem that either an adjective or a non finite verb should be filled in the blank. After filtering the original text, it is found that only the semantic of targeted is appropriate, so it is locked as the answer.
