Question

【题目】 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】

本文是说明文。文章介绍了在家中全家人可以一起参与的四种棋盘游戏。

【1】细节理解题。根据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，玩家画出一个单词并将其递给旁边的玩家，后者写下他们认为第一个玩家画出的单词。下一位玩家画出前一位玩家写下的单词，然后游戏以这种方式继续进行，直到最终的作品或说明与原始作品完全不同为止。由此可知，在Telestrations游戏中，需要玩家将字画出来。故选A。

【2】细节理解题。根据Catan部分中的“the first to a set number wins.”可知，第一个达到确定的分数的人获胜。即首先得到需要的分数的人获胜。故选B。

【3】细节理解题。根据第一段中的“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参与棋盘游戏，它是一个很好的选择。因此，四种棋盘游戏的共同点是它们需要不止一个参与者。故选C。
