　　(2015·北京东城区综合练习二)According to game maker Hasbro，approximately 750 million people have played the well­known game Monopoly since it was invented in the 1930s.Charles Darrow is typically credited as the inventor of the world’s most famous board game.However, he likely originated his version of Monopoly from one of several other games similarly involving house buying and selling that were already in existence before the 1930s when he got his patent(专利) for the game.

　　A probable reason that Darrow’s Monopoly became the hugely successful game that still exists today is that he took a great approach to producing it.Other similar games existed, but they had no board or regulation pieces.With the help of his wife and son, who decorated the

　　sets with details, Darrow personally created the pieces and boards that became the first Monopoly game sets.His extra work in creating the entire environment that players needed gave his game something extra that other variations did not have.

　　Darrow had success in selling his games in various parts of the country.Several Philly area stores were the first to carry his game and sell it in large quantities.However, Darrow had difficulty selling his game to the major game producer of the time, Parker Brothers.He was told that his game was too complex and had fundamental errors in its design that would limit its appeal.Eventually, the continued sales he managed on his own forced Parker Brothers to reassess the worth of his game.In the end, the company agreed to produce the game and shortly afterwards it became the bestselling game in the country.

　　That success turned Charles Darrow into a millionaire, which is the heavy irony．Darrow initially began work on Monopoly to help support himself and his family following the financial troubles tied to the stock market crash of 1929.Thus, Charles Darrow became a millionaire by producing a game that allows “regular” people to feel like they are buying and selling real homes and land like millionaires.

　　1．What made Darrow’s Monopoly different from other similar games?

　　A．The way of avoiding financial troubles.

　　A．Monopoly was initially too complex to play

　　2．解析：选D。推理判断题。根据第三段第四句“He was told that his game was too complex and had fundamental errors in its design that would limit its appeal.”可知，刚开始Parker Brothers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。

　　【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文，主要就华盛顿一家博物馆的参观事宜做了简要介绍。

　　Ⅱ.完形填空

　　【解题导语】　本文是一篇记叙文。一个出身贫寒的孩子梦想拥有自己的牧场。在一次完成老师布置的有关梦想的写作后，老师认为他的梦想不切实际而给予否定，而男孩却继续坚持自己的梦想，最终梦想成真。

　　1．解析：选C。考查名词辨析。根据本段第二句中“wrote a seven­page paper”可知，男孩写了一篇长达七页的文章(paper)，由此可知，此处指老师要求他们写一篇文章。故答案选C。

　　2．解析：选B。考查动词辨析。recall意为“回忆”；describe意为“描述”；seek意为“寻找”；recognize意为“认出”。结合空格后“his goal”可知，此处指老师布置完写作任务后，当天晚上他写了一篇七页的文章来描述他的目标。故答案选B。

　　3．解析：选A。考查介词短语辨析。空格前的in与选项分别构成固定搭配。in detail意为“详细地”；in total意为“总计，合计”；in need意为“在危急中”；in time意为“及时”。男孩写了七页纸，且下文说他还配了图，所以此处应是十分详细。故答案选A。

　　9．解析：选C。考查形容词辨析。根据文章第一段中“his family wasn’t rich”可知，男孩家境并不富裕，因此此处指老师说“对于你这样贫穷的孩子而言这是一个不切实际的梦想”。故答案选C。

　　11．解析：选B。考查名词辨析。空格前有no，与选项构成相关搭配。no point意为“没有意义”；no way意为“不可能”；no use意为“没用”；no idea意为“不清楚”。根据上文可知，老师认为男孩家境贫寒，拥有一个牧场需要很多钱，所以此处指男孩不可能实现他的梦想。故答案选B。

　　12．解析：选D。考查动词辨析。report意为“报告”；explain意为“解释”；excuse意为“找借口”；rewrite意为“重写”。上文提到男孩得了F，本句中老师说“I will reconsider your grade”，由此可知，老师的条件是如果男孩重写作业，换一个符合实际的理想，就会考虑重新给他(高一些的)分数。故答案选D。

　　13．解析：选B。考查动词辨析。write意为“写”；think意为“思考”；sigh意为“叹息”；laugh意为“笑”。结合空格后“long and hard”可知，回家后，男孩思考了很久。故答案选B。

　　15．解析：选A。考查动词短语辨析。根据语境可知，父亲并未给出建议，而是让男孩自己拿主意。此处为“make up one’s (own) mind”固定搭配，意为“下决心”，符合语境。故答案选A。

　　16．解析：选D。考查名词辨析。work意为“工作”；reason意为“理由”；mind意为“想法”；decision意为“决定”。根据上一句中“______your own mind on this”可知，父亲虽然没有给出建议，但仍然告诉男孩这个决定很重要。故答案选D。

　　19．解析：选C。考查名词辨析。本句是老师的感叹与自责。根据下文中“During those years I stole a lot of kids’ dreams.”可知，此处老师说自己是梦想的“偷盗者”。故答案选C。

　　20．解析：选D。考查动词短语辨析。step down into意为“步入……”；keep up with意为“跟上，与……保持一致”；look down upon意为“小看，鄙视”；give up on意为“不再相信，放弃……”。结合语境可知，最后老师感叹，幸好男孩有足够的进取心，并没有放弃自己的梦想。故答案选D。
