Question

【題目】 There are plenty of things to do while at home, from watching heartwarming TV to indoor fitness, but if you want to do something with the whole family, a board game is the perfect activity.

Telestrations

It is like a combination of the whisper game Telephone and Pictionary. Players draw a word and pass their sketch to the player next to them, who writes down the word they think the first player draws. The next player draws the word the previous player writes down, and the game continues in this way until the final drawing or description comes out wildly different from the original one. It is most popular among kids.

Catan

A slightly more involved game than Risk or Monopoly, Catan, previouly known as Settlers of Catan or Settlers, has become popular in the past decade or so beyond board game enthusiasts. In the game, which has many expansions available if you get bored with the original, players become “settlers”, each trying to build up individual settlements while trading resources. The bigger your settlement, the more points, and the first to a set number wins.

Ticket to Ride

It is an easy-to-understand game that is about something as simple as trains. Players use colored train cars that they are able to obtain by collecting cards of the same color to create train routes across a map of the U. S. Expansion packs have many other maps to choose from. Bigger train routes give you more points, as do building the routes shown on the secret ticket cards you draw at the beginning of the game.

Lords of Waterdeep

This board game from the makers of Dungeons Dragons is definitely more complex but is one of the most enjoyable games once you understand all the rules. Beautifully designed in fantasy style, Waterdeep is a “worker placement game”, in which players use agents to gather resources to complete quests, which generate victory points. Whoever has the most at the end of the game wins.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】A

【2】B

【3】C

【解析】

本文是說明文。文章介紹了在家中全家人可以一起參與的四種棋盤游戲。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Telestrations部分中的“Players draw a word and pass their sketch to the player next to them, who writes down the word they think the first player draws. The next player draws the word the previous player writes down, and the game continues in this way until the final drawing or description comes out wildly different from the original one.”可知，玩家畫出一個單詞并將其遞給旁邊的玩家，后者寫下他們認為第一個玩家畫出的單詞。下一位玩家畫出前一位玩家寫下的單詞，然后游戲以這種方式繼續(xù)進行，直到最終的作品或說明與原始作品完全不同為止。由此可知，在Telestrations游戲中，需要玩家將字畫出來。故選A。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Catan部分中的“the first to a set number wins.”可知，第一個達到確定的分數(shù)的人獲勝。即首先得到需要的分數(shù)的人獲勝。故選B。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“but if you want to do something with the whole family, a board game is the perfect activity.”可知，在家中全家人可以一起參與棋盤游戲，它是一個很好的選擇。因此，四種棋盤游戲的共同點是它們需要不止一個參與者。故選C。
