Question

【題目】 During ancient times, children didn’t have much to enjoy themselves. However, they came up with interesting games to play in their childhood.

Kicking stone balls During the Qing Dynasty, kicking a stone ball around was a popular game in the northern part of China, and it was often played in winter to keep warm.

Playing hide-and-seek Hide-and-seek is a traditional game for children, popular around the nation. There are two ways to play: covering a child’s eyes while other kids run around to tease(戲弄) him or, more commonly, others hide and one child must try to find them.

Flying kites Kites have quite a long history. The earliest kites were made of wood, instead of paper. The three most famous kites are the Beijing kite, Tianjin kite and Weifang kite. Each has its own feature. For example, the bird-shaped kite with long wings is a special kind of the Beijing kite.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】A

【2】D

【3】D

【解析】

本文主要介紹了四種古代的兒童游戲，有踢石球，玩捉迷藏，放風箏和看皮影戲。

【1】詞意猜測題。根據(jù)句子“For example, the bird-shaped kite with long wings is a special kind of the Beijing kite.”例如，長翅膀的鳥形風箏是北京風箏的一種特殊類型。可知，這句話是對句子“Each has its own feature.”“每個都有自己的特征”的解釋。因此單詞feature是“特征”的意思。故選A。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“The closest thing to watching a film during ancient times was going to see a shadow play.”可知，在古代，最接近看電影的事情就是看皮影戲。故選D。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“During the Qing Dynasty, kicking a stone ball around was a popular game in the northern part of China,…”在清朝，在中國北方，踢石球是一種很流行的運動。因此選項A錯誤；根據(jù)“There are two ways to play: …”可知，捉迷藏有兩種玩法。因此選項B錯誤；根據(jù)“The three most famous kites are the Beijing kite, Tianjin kite and Weifang kite.”可知，最有名的三只風箏是北京風箏、天津風箏和濰坊風箏。因此選項C不對；根據(jù)“The artists control puppets(木偶) behind the screen and tell stories to the music.”藝術家們控制屏幕后面的木偶并配上音樂講述故事。因此選項D正確。故選D。

本題的第1小題是詞義猜測題。詞義猜測題是閱讀理解中常見的一種題型，所猜測詞匯可以是生詞，也可以是熟詞新義，還可以是人稱代詞的指代內容。詞義猜測題主要考查考生根據(jù)上下文推測詞義和語義的能力，突出考查對語境的分析和把握能力。本題可以利用上下文語境來猜測詞意。猜測任何詞義都離不開上下文，所以要借助上下文對需要猜測的詞或短語進行合乎邏輯的推測。
