Real-life Room Escape Games

Real-life room escape games are a type of physical adventure game in which people are locked in a room with other participants and have to use the things in the room to settle a series of puzzles, find clues (线索), and escape the room within a set time limit.

The games are based off Escape the Room video games, such as Crimson Room and QP-Shot, created by TAKAGISM Inc. by Toshimitsu Takagi in 2005, in which the player is locked inside a room and must explore his or her surroundings in order to escape.   1.  Other inspirations include adventure board games and movies. Real-life room escape games are becoming popular in the United States, Japan, and China.   2.  For example, some games require you escape prison cells while others require you escape space stations.

The games were so successful that new locations began opening up across China, in cities big and small, according to Want China Times. In the southern city of Shenzhen, for example, the first escape game location opened last August.   4.  “These real-life escape games can help those who stay at home on their computers and iPads all day to experience real social circles,” Tian Xiaochuan, who owns two room escape game stores in Jinan, told Want China Times.

Earlier this year, The South China Morning Post said the real-life escape games are a hit among “highly stressed students and overworked young professionals.”   5.  Some players get so involved that they tear down equipment or decorations inside their “prisons”, as Zhu Yumeng, chief operating officer of Beijing room escape game store Taoquan told China Daily.

【解析】

试题分析：本文属于说明文阅读，介绍了近年来非常受欢迎的“Real-life Room Escape Games”密室逃亡游戏。介绍了这一游戏的发展历史及特点。

1.G 根据横线前一句...in which the player is locked inside a room and must explore his or her surroundings in order to escape.说明玩家悲哀锁在房子里，要仔细研究他/她周围的环境找到逃跑的线索，这要求玩家要非常细心并能够使用自己的思维技巧逃脱。所以G项内容与上下文一致。

2.A 根据横线后一句For example, some games require you escape prison cells while others require you escape space stations.一些游戏要求玩家从监狱的牢房里逃脱，有一些游戏要求玩家从太空站里逃脱。也就是说不同的“密室逃亡”游戏都有不同的场景设置。所以A项“Each game adds local themes to settings.”内容与上下文相符。

3.F 根据横线后一句Soon, they were exported to North America, Asia and Australia. Examples include the two pioneer companies Hint Hunt and Adventure Rooms.可知本段主要讲述的是这一游戏的发展历程，选项F项“Permanent real life escape games in a fixed location were first opened in Europe.”在阐述这一游戏的第一次出现的情况。

4.B 根据前一句In the southern city of Shenzhen, for example, the first escape game location opened last August.可知在深圳市，在去年八月份开办了第一个密室逃亡游戏。句中的the first是关键词，接着其他的类似游戏也开始出现。所以B项“And seven new game locations quickly followed.”七个新游戏很快就随之出现了。B项符合上下文串联。

5.Some players get so involved that they tear down equipment or decorations inside their “prisons”, as Zhu Yumeng,可知有些玩家把“监狱”里的设施拆除了，说明他们兴奋过头了。与横线前一句形成呼应，这款游戏让玩家很兴奋，所以D项“Sometimes the excitement becomes a bit much, though.”把前后句很好地串联起来了。

【名师点睛】

本文五小题的答案我们都可以通过研究横线前后句的逻辑关系及连接词得出，所以我们一定要重视句子与句子之间的联系。

1．理清句际间意义的关系

文章的内容是根据各层各段的大意有机地组合而成，各个层次，各个段落之间不管怎样错落有致，但它所表达的内容都是要围绕中心的，各句之间都有一定的语脉，从逻辑意义上来看，语段的句际关系可分为平列、顺序、层递、转折、总分、解释、因果等关系。构成语段的各个句子之间有时可以包含一种以上的句际关系。因此，理解阅读材料时一定要把握语脉，理清句际间的关系，进而理解语段或全文的内容。

2．找出句子之间的连接性的词语

文章的语句间的组合，除了从语句间的意义关系分析外，还可借助句子之间的连接性词语来把握，因为连接性词语能表明这个语段句与句之间、层与层之间的基本关系有承接关系（如 so, therefore, thus, hence, accordingly, consequently, as a result 等）平列关系（如first, second, third…; firstly, secondly, thirdly…; first, next, then…; in the first place, in the second place…; for one thing, for another thing…;to begin with, to conclude 等）。

如6.the first escape game location opened last August.在深圳市，去年八月开办了第一家密室逃亡游戏。其中的“the first”就是关键词，接下来应该是讲述其他的密室逃亡游戏的开展情况。所以B项正确。
