以下是2020年高考阅读理解的B篇的前半部分：
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.
父母们如果觉得高科技玩具对孩子有帮助，就会愿意买，但是研究人员们说玩拼图能培养孩子数学相关的能力。
Psychologist Susan Levine, an expert on mathematics development in young children 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.
心理学家SL,是一名芝加哥大学儿童数学发展方面的专家。他发现那些在2岁到4岁期间玩拼图的孩子能在后来发展出更好的空间能力。L说，当控制父母的收入，受教育程度，以及亲子之间的交流量这3个变量的差异时，研究结果显示拼图游戏能很好地预测孩子的认知。
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.
研究人员们分析了53对亲子日常互动的视频记录，发现在26月龄和46月龄期间玩拼图的孩子，当在54月龄接受评估时，有更好的空间技能。
“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.
L在一次声明中说道：玩拼图的孩子比没有玩拼图的孩子能在评估旋转能力和变形能力的任务中表现更好。
