Question

    Do you know how to play a game called "Musical Chairs"? It is easy to play and most people enjoy it. All you need are some chairs, some people and some way of making music. You may use a piano or any other musical instrument, if someone can play it. You may use a tape recorder. You can even use a radio.

Put the chairs in a line. The chairs may be put in twos, back to back. A better way is to have the chairs in one line with each chair facing in the opposite direction to the chair next to it.

The game is easy. When the music starts, the players walk round the chairs. Everyone goes in the same direction, of course, they should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast, they should walk quickly. If the music is slow, they should walk slowly.

The person playing music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops, the players try to sit on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on, he drops out. Then, before the music starts again, one chair must be taken away. When the music stops again, one more player will be out.

At last, there will be two players and one chair. The one who sits on the chair when the music stops is the winner.

【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。

1.细节理解题。根据“When the music stops, the players try to sit on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on, he drops out.”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A。

2.细节理解题。根据“Put the chairs in a line.”可知，把椅子排成一行。故选A。

3.细节理解题。根据“You may use a piano or any other musical instrument, if someone can play it. You may use a tape recorder. You can even use a radio.”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。

4.细节理解题。根据“When the music starts, the players walk round the chairs.”可知，音乐开始时，选手员们围着椅子转。故选C。

5.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“The game is easy.”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。
