Question

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(戏弄) 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】

本文主要介绍了四种古代的儿童游戏，有踢石球，玩捉迷藏，放风筝和看皮影戏。

【1】词意猜测题。根据句子“For example, the bird-shaped kite with long wings is a special kind of the Beijing kite.”例如，长翅膀的鸟形风筝是北京风筝的一种特殊类型。可知，这句话是对句子“Each has its own feature.”“每个都有自己的特征”的解释。因此单词feature是“特征”的意思。故选A。

【2】细节理解题。根据“The closest thing to watching a film during ancient times was going to see a shadow play.”可知，在古代，最接近看电影的事情就是看皮影戏。故选D。

【3】细节理解题。根据“During the Qing Dynasty, kicking a stone ball around was a popular game in the northern part of China,…”在清朝，在中国北方，踢石球是一种很流行的运动。因此选项A错误；根据“There are two ways to play: …”可知，捉迷藏有两种玩法。因此选项B错误；根据“The three most famous kites are the Beijing kite, Tianjin kite and Weifang kite.”可知，最有名的三只风筝是北京风筝、天津风筝和潍坊风筝。因此选项C不对；根据“The artists control puppets(木偶) behind the screen and tell stories to the music.”艺术家们控制屏幕后面的木偶并配上音乐讲述故事。因此选项D正确。故选D。

本题的第1小题是词义猜测题。词义猜测题是阅读理解中常见的一种题型，所猜测词汇可以是生词，也可以是熟词新义，还可以是人称代词的指代内容。词义猜测题主要考查考生根据上下文推测词义和语义的能力，突出考查对语境的分析和把握能力。本题可以利用上下文语境来猜测词意。猜测任何词义都离不开上下文，所以要借助上下文对需要猜测的词或短语进行合乎逻辑的推测。
