arts,includingnanquan,changquan,taichiandseveralothers.”武术家向人们展示了20多种中国

传统武术，包括南拳、长拳、太极拳等。two-hourshowstrengthenedthefriendship

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。

【答案】36.A37.A38.D39.C40.B

【解析】

文章主要介绍“抢椅子”游戏。游戏中的椅子数量要少于玩家数一个，并且音乐一播放人们就

开始随着音乐而走，音乐一停就各自找椅子坐下，没有坐到椅子的那个人就会出局，然后减

少一张椅子再如此继续，到最后会剩下一张椅子两个人来决胜负。这个游戏很简单，大多数

人都喜欢玩。

【36题详解】

细节理解题。根据“Whenthemusicstops,theplayerstrytositonthechairs.Ifapersoncannotfind

achairtositon,hedropsout.”当音乐开始，选手努力坐在椅子上。如果一个人没有椅子坐，

他就出局了。可知，十个人玩游戏，只能有九把椅子，这样才会有一个人坐不到椅子。故选

Ao

【37题详解】

细节理解题。根据“Putthechairsinaline.“可知，把椅子排成一■行。故选A。

【38题详解】

细节理解题。根据"Youmayuseapianooranyothermusicalinstrument,ifsomeonecanplayit.

Youmayuseataperecorder.Youcanevenusearadio.”如果有人会弹钢琴，你可以用钢琴或其

他乐器。你可以用录音机。你甚至可以用收音机。可知，电话机在短文中没有提到，而且，

电话机是不能用作乐器演奏的。故选D。

【39题详解】

细节理解题。根据“Whenthemusicstarts,theplayerswalkroundthechairs.“可知，音乐开始时，

选手员们围着椅子转。故选C。

【40题详解】

细节理解题。本文是一个“抢凳子”游戏，有凳子坐的人就是获胜者，所以A说法正确；由

本文的叙述可知，播放音乐的人没有参加游戏，因此如果一个人播放音乐，他就不能成为获

胜者。因此C正确，B错误；根据"Thegameiseasy.”它玩起来很容易。可知，这个游戏学起

来不难。因此D正确。故选B。
