Most people may think that people who write computer code (代码) must be good at Maths and logical (逻辑的) thinking. However, people who write computer code say that creativity is also important for writting code.
Software developers (开发者) in the USA have created a game called Osmo Coding Jam. The game is designed to help children use the creative side of their minds when learning to code. Children can play the game on iPads.
Tanya Dodge is the mother of two children who play the game. According to her, these activities give her children important skills for the future. “It’s an analytical (分析的) skill,” said Dodge.
But the developers believe writing code is not just an analytical skill. “We want to explore the creative side of coding that I think is often not as explored,” said Felix Hu, an Osmo engineer. Hu added, “The coolest part is that we’re teaching kids how to be creative with code and that’s a really important thing that kids should get comfortable with because coding is creative.”
Hu also sees many parents who feel that software code is a second language that children need to learn to succeed in future jobs. Tanya Dodge agrees. She said, “l think you’re going to have to understand the idea of coding will work well in the future.” Hu also explains that very often kids grow up not understanding how a computer works. He says by breaking it down to a lower level, kids can understand that the computer isn’t as smart as they think it is.
1.What is Osmo Coding Jam designed for?
A.Training kids’ logical thinking. B.Helping kids learn to code fast.
C.Helping children learn Maths well. D.Helping kids become more creative.
2.What does Tanya Dodge think of Osmo Coding Jam?
A.It needs to be improved. B.It can help kids play well.
C.It is of great help to today’s kids. D.It is not perfect in training kids’ analytical skills.
3.What can we learn from the passage?
A.If someone doesn’t learn Maths well, he or she can’t write code.
B.Creativity comes from writing code in daily life.
C.Writing code is just a skill which helps kids to analyze things well.
D.A lot of parents agree that software code will be useful for their kids’ future jobs.
4.The writer wrote this passage __________.
A.to tell how to learn to code well B.to tell about a new game for kids

九年级英语单选题简单题查看答案及解析
Computers are very important to modern life. Many people think that in the future computers will be used in lots of everyday life. It is thought that we won’t have to go shopping because we will be able to get most things which are sold in shops on the Internet. There will be no more books because we will be able to get all texts from computers. The Internet will be used to play games, see films and buy food. Most telephone calls will be made by computers, too.
Some people are glad about these new ways of shopping and communicating. Others do not think that computers will replace our old ways.
Let’s look at books, for example. Some people think that one day we will not read books made of paper. Instead, we will buy and read books using computers. We will read texts on small pocket computers. The computers will keep many different books in them at the same time. We won’t need to turn lots of pages and paper will be saved. Computerized(计算机化) books will be used more and more.
Is Internet shopping such a pleasure as going to the shop? Many people say it is not. It is a pleasure to go in to shops and look at things you want to buy. It is also unlikely that many people will want to read large texts on our computers. Because paper books will perhaps be more friendly. Maybe computers won’t change these two habits.
1.In paragraph1 it is thought people will use computers for _______.
A. playing games, shopping and making telephone calls
B. making telephone calls, having meals and seeing films
C. seeing films, buying food, and going for holidays
D. playing games, making telephone calls and seeing the doctor
2.Paragraph 4 tells _______.
A. about the old and new ways of shopping and communicat ing
B. if the Internet will change our habits
C. about computerized books
D. about future uses of computers
3.The title for this passage is _______.
A. Computers will Replace Shops and Books.
B. Computers will be Used in the Future.
C. Computers will Do Everything for Man.
D. How Computers Change Our Habits
4.According to the writer’s view, which is right?
A. Computers will replace everything completely in our daily life in the future.
B. Computers will not be used at all in our daily life in the future.
C. Computers will not be used in shopping in the future.
