【押题 2】(题号：345784)

According to game maker Hasbro, approximately 750 million people have played the well-known 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 1939. 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.

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

A. The way of avoiding financial troubles.B. The safe environment created for player.C. The buying and selling of real homes and landD. The specific pieces and a playing board in each set.

6．The author suggests in Paragraph 3 that ________.

A. Monopoly was initially too complex to playB. Darrow failed to make expected profit in PhillyC. certain errors in Monopoly limited its attractionD. some people once doubted Monopoly would be popular

7．What does the underlined word “irony” in the last paragraph mean?

A. financial gain B. unexpected result

C. marketing plan D. unsatisfying reward

8．What is the passage mainly about?

A. The difficulties in Darrow’s life.B. The comparison of some board games.C. The way to the success of Darrow’s game.D. The business management of Parker Brothers.

Your car is a necessary part of your life. You use it every day. Of course, you want to hold on to is so you make sure it has the latest alarm and immobilizer(汽车防盗器). But despite all these, cars like yours are still stolen every day. In fact, in this country, one car is stolen almost every minute! And if your car is stolen, you only have a 50:50 chance of seeing it again.

Each year, car crime costs nearly £3 billion. Of course, if you’re insured, you won’t lose out, or will you? Firstly, you will have to pay extra insurance later on, and then you may not be offered the full amount by the agent. You will probably have to hire a car and you will also lose the value of the contents and accessories(配件) in the car.

Now comes the solution. An RAC Trackstar system, hidden in one of 47 possible secret location(位置) in your car, is the key of our system. If your car is stolen, radio signals are sent at twenty-second intervals from the car to the RAC Trackstar National Control Center via a satellite network. Then a computer gives the vehicle’s exact location, speed and direction.

The RAC Trackstar National Control Center, which operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, will immediately inform the police in the area where the car is located. Because the police receive information every twenty seconds, they will always know the vehicle’s location. Once the thief has been arrested, your car will be returned to you.

RAC Tackstar is unique in being able to provide the National Control Center with details of the exact location of your car, its speed and direction. And speed is the key to successful recovery of a stolen vehicle. RAC Trackstar Control will immediately tell the police if you report your car stolen and under the 24-hour Guardian Option. It will also tell you if your car has been stolen. RAC Trackstar’s constant updates mean the police are kept informed of the car’s location. All these greatly improve your chances of seeing your car again.

9．If your car is stolen, you will have to_______.

A. hire a new car B. pay more insurance

C. buy a RAC Trackstar system D. inform the National Control Center

10．The Trackstar system can tell the police______.

A. where the car is B. how the car is stolen

C. who the thief is D. what brand the car is

11．The underlined word “It” in the last paragraph refers to ______.

A. the local police station B. the Guardian Option

C. the insurance company D. the RAC Trackstar Control

12．According to the passage, people with RAC Trackstar______.

A. are more likely to get the stolen cars backB. have less chance of being in an accidentC. seldom get their vehicles damagedD. automatically find directions

If you are a traditional traveler who believes cameras are irreplaceable, here are some things you should pay attention to when looking for the perfect camera.

Sensor size

Along with the megapixel(百万像素)count, the size of the sensor dictates the general image quality as well as the camera’s performance in low light. It also determines whether the camera can electronically put the details it captures bigger enough to see — which is what makes the pictures not clear enough to see when you view the photos on a bigger screen.

Portability

“The important thing is that the camera isn’t too big and heavy, and that you have a good zoom(变焦距镜头) range for both wide-angle and telephoto(远距摄影照片)shots,” Atherton told CNN. A good choice would be a slim, light pocket camera with a high-qualified built-in optical zoom. “These are very popular for travel as they are light, but built with a telephoto lens that can zoom up to 60 times,” Atherton said.

Zoom and shutter(快门)speed

For action or crowd shots, a fast shutter speed is a key factor. “When dealing with anything that’s active — wildlife or people in action on the street — faces change within a tiny part of a second,” said Arnold, “a fast shutter speed is helpful in shooting the several hundred photos you might need to get that single winning shot.”

13．According to Atherton, what isn’t a requirement for an ideal camera?

A. Portable shape. B. Wide-ranged zoom.

C. Good telephoto lens. D. Reasonable sensor size.

14．What will contribute to a satisfactory photo of a running lion in the wild?

A. The sensor size. B. The zoom range.

C. The shutter speed. D. The megapixel.

15．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A. How to choose ideal travel cameras?B. How to put a camera into good use?C.A fashionable camera — up for saleD.A high-quality camera — a modern life’s must
