五、阅读理解。
How can you combine(结合) games with English learning? The answer is a game app! Its players must correctly guess a five-letter word with just six tries. You either win by guessing it or lose because you run out of tries.
The game has been popular with millions of players across the world. Every midnight, the game app refreshes its word of the day. For example, the answer for November 3rd is ALOUD, and the answer for November 4th is OTHER.
As you guess, the game gives you hints(提示). For example, if a letter is correct and in the right place, it turns green. If the letter is not in the word, it turns gray. If the letter is part of the word but in the wrong place, it turns yellow. These hints make the game into a puzzle.
You need knowledge to win this game, not just luck. Every syllable(音节) in an English word includes at least one vowel(元音), so finding vowels is a useful method. For example, in the word "think", there is only one syllable and there is one vowel "i".
Several days ago, I played this game and found it very interesting. First, I guessed the word "table". Only "a" was green. Then, I guessed "maker" and the "r" turned yellow. In the end, I guessed "carry" and I was correct!
The game app is not only a perfect game to have fun, but also an excellent tool to increase your English vocabulary. Why not have a try in your spare time?

本题为英语阅读理解题，包含细节匹配、词义判断、文章结构分析三类题型。解题思路：1. 第1题需定位原文中关于颜色提示的描述，匹配对应情况；2. 第2题需从原文提取游戏的特点，排除不符合的选项；3. 第3题需梳理各段落大意，划分文章结构，匹配对应选项。
【解析】
1. 第1题：根据原文第三段内容，字母不在单词中对应灰色（b），字母正确且位置对对应绿色（a），字母在单词中但位置错对应黄色（c），因此①—b、②—a、③—c，对应选项D。
2. 第2题：原文第二段提到游戏“popular”，第五段提到作者觉得“interesting”，第六段提到游戏是“excellent tool to increase your English vocabulary”（useful），未提及“easy”，因此选A。
