dorregulationpieces.”可知,答案选D。2.解析:选D。推理判断题。根据第三段第四句“Hewastoldthathisgamewastoocomplexandhadfundamentalerrorsinitsdesigntha
twouldlimititsappeal.”可知,刚开始ParkerBrothers认为这个游戏过于复杂而且设计上还有一些基本的错误,而这会限制它的吸引力,由此可推知,有人不相信这个游戏能受欢迎。故选D。3.解析:选B。词义猜测题。根据最后一段可
知,Darrow因为在股票市场遭遇了金融危机,所以才开始研发大富翁游戏,但是通过这个游戏他却成为了百万富翁,这是个意想不到的结果。所以画线词与B项意思相近。故选B。4.解析:选C。主旨大意题。本文主要讲述
了Darrow研发大富翁游戏以及他的成功之路。故选C。CHowlingisabehaviorcommonlyobservedamongawolfnark.Ananimals,wolvesworktog

Innocent.C.Naughty.D.Sweet.答案:D推理判断题。根据第五段第一句和最后一句可知,这个小女孩非常的可爱,见到父亲时,她在母亲的怀里扭动,非常地兴奋,在父亲怀里的时候她把头放在父

hefelthewithdrewfromsocietyC.thefamilyfoundhimcuriousaboutthemD.hedidn'tlovehiswifeasmuch答案:A推理判断题。根据第七段最后一句中的“Isuddenlyfeltuncomforta
ble,asifIwasinvadingsomethingsacred”和文化常识可知,作者由于被这亲密的幸福情景所吸引,一直盯着他们看,距离很近(onlytwofeet),而这在西方是很不礼貌的行为,侵犯了他
人的隐私。故答案选A。3.Whatcanwelearnfromthestory?A.Thefamilybecamethewriter'sfriends.B.Thewriterdecidedtolookforawife.C
.Thewriter'sfamilywillgetmorelovefromhim.D.Thewriterwilltellhisfriendthestoryimmediatelytheymeet.答案:C推理判断题。根据倒数第四段最后一句“Ihopemym
arriageisstillthatpassionateaftertwelveyears!”及最后一段中作者看着那家人离开说“Myfuture!”可推知,作者以后将会给予家人更多的关爱。故答案选C。4.Whichparagraphinthi
sstorybestshowstheloveofthecouple?A.Paragraph4.B.Paragraph5.C.Paragraph6.D.Paragraph7.答案:C细节理解题。通读全文可知,第三至五段描述的
是对孩子的爱,第六段中“givehiswifethelongest,mostpassionatekiss...”展示的是夫妻之间的爱。故答案选C。5.Whydoesthewriterthinkhisairpor

ween“hope”and“decide”.C.Becausehethoughtitwasreallyauniqueexperience.D.Becausethefamilyhemetwithhadastrangepoweroverhim.答案:B推理判断题。根据文章最后两段内容可
知,男主人所说的“Don'thope,friend...decide!”给了作者极大的震撼和鼓励,让作者明白了“希望”与“决定”之间的不同,决定今后给予家人更多的关爱。故答案选B。
