【題目】 Two people sit down to play Go (圍棋). One of the players is an old man. He is now 89 years old. He has spent all of his life playing this game. The other person is a young woman. She has been playing Go for only three years. Before this, the woman was an expert at playing computer games. Now she plays Go the same way she played computer gamesby becoming a machine herself.

They will play many games, until they know who the winner is. The woman shows no feelings but thinking about all the possible ways of placing her next stone. The old man, on the other hand, looks at the movements of her hands and of her face. This has always helped him to win.

He wins the first three games. She wins the next game, and the man is surprised. He has never lost to a woman. The old man worries about the way the young woman is playing the game. He can't read her face; he does not understand her way of playing.

"The way I think about the game," says the woman, "is that it is steps for getting what I want. " Again, the old man is surprised. For him, the game is a way of life itself, and not a model of life.

"There is no more beauty any longer. Everything is science and rules. Everything is about winning. Nothing is about playing. " he says.

They cannot agree with each other, but it is not necessary.

"Change is a necessary part of life," thinks the man.

"Playing is as important as winning, " thinks the woman.

They start to play their final game.

【解析】

本文講述了一位老者和一個年輕的女士一起下棋,但是他們對于輸贏以及下棋的方式都不同,彼此不能認(rèn)同對方。

1細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“One of the players is an old man…by becoming a machine herself,”可知,一位老者幾乎花了他的一生來下棋,一個年輕女士,在這之前是一個電腦游戲?qū)<,她下圍棋跟她玩電腦的方式一樣。由以上的信息可得知,這兩位都是圍棋的狂熱者。故選B。

2細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“Before this, the woman was an expert at playing computer games,”可知,在這個之前,這個女人是一個玩電腦游戲的專家。故選A

3推理判斷題。根據(jù)“He wins the first three games. She wins the next game,”可知,老人贏了前三場比賽,輸了第四場給這位年輕女士,所以AB選項(xiàng)是錯誤的。根據(jù)"The way I think about the game," says the woman, "is that it is steps for getting what I want. "“我認(rèn)為比賽的方法,”這位女士說,“就是步步接近我想要的!奔Now she plays Go the same way she played computer games“現(xiàn)在她下圍棋的方式就跟玩電腦游戲的方式一樣”,可知,這個女人下圍棋有自己的方式,所以C選項(xiàng)是正確的。故選C。

4推理判斷題。根據(jù)"The way I think about the game," says the woman, "is that it is steps for getting what I want. " Again, the old man is surprised. For him, the game is a way of life itself, and not a model of life“我認(rèn)為比賽的方式,”這個女士說,“就是步步接近我想要的!边@位老人再次驚訝了。對于他來說,比賽本身就是他生活的方式,而不是一個生活的模式?芍,這位女士比賽的方式讓這位老人學(xué)到不一樣的東西。故選C

5最佳標(biāo)題。根據(jù)"There is no more beauty any longer. Everything is science and rules. Everything is about winning. Nothing is about playing. " he says,可知,老人認(rèn)為每一樣事物都是技術(shù)和規(guī)則,一切都是為了勝利。沒有什么是關(guān)于玩的。根據(jù)Playing is as important as winning,可知,這位女士認(rèn)為玩和贏一樣重要。由此可知,本文從兩個圍棋狂熱者開始圍下棋,而引出了兩個人對于下圍棋的輸贏有不同的看法,所以最適合本文的標(biāo)題是“贏還是玩”。故選C。

___The next morning, Roy walked through the village alone. The place looked very different. There were lots of traffic signs on that roads and beside the roads, there was a new car park, a new post office and a new bus stop. He remembered suddenly that the bus used to stop anywhere-you just put up your hand and it stopped. One surprise followed another. The railway station was gone! The school was gone. A lot of farm machinery stood in the playground!

___But Roy's biggest surprise was the people. He didn't recognize anybody at all, perhaps because everyone seemed old. He went into the post office and bought some stamps. "Where are all the children and young people?" he asked the postmaster.

The old fellow looked up from his book of stamps. "Children?" he said, "They are in school, of course. There are three or four young families here. The children go to school by bus-to Horham."

At lunch Pat said, "The village looks nice, doesn't it?"

【題目】B) 閱讀下面短文,根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,完成表格中所缺的信息。并將答案填寫在下面相應(yīng)題號的位置上。

Many American schools are closed during the summer. Most children in the United States have a summer holiday for almost three months. This traditional school schedule was designed long ago when many Americans lived on farms. Children were needed at home during the summer to help their families with harvesting crops and feeding animals. Schools later continued the tradition, mostly because it was difficult to hold classes in the hot summer weather.

American schools began to do an experiment by changing this system in the early 1900s. One idea was for children to attend school all year round. But the idea didn't become popular until about twenty-five years ago. Studies done at the time showed that American students were not performing as well as students in other countries.

Students who attend year-round schools in the United States do not go to class every day. They spend the same number of days in class as other students do. But the time is organized differently. For example, some students attend school five days a week for nine weeks. Then they have three weeks off before going back to school for another nine weeks. In summer, they have a five-week holiday.

Supporters of year round schooling say it improves students’ learning. They say students in the traditional system often forget what they have learnt after a long summer holiday. They think that schools can offer special classes during short holidays for students who need extra help. They also think that it saves money, because the school buildings are used throughout the year.

People who oppose year-round schooling say the research has not showed that it can improve students’ learning. Families report problems in organizing activities and travel when their children in different schools have different holidays. Some parents want their children to have a long summer away from the pressures of school. People who start summer camps for children don’t agree with the idea. So do businessmen that employ teenagers in summer.

【題目】 Where is it possible to drive from Rome to Moscow, Madrid, Paris, Vienna and Stockholm without going to Europe? The answer is in the state of Maine!

Throughout the United States there are many towns and cities that have been named after not only European cities but other countries as well, such as China, Poland, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. Just how many New World place names are recycled from the Old World names has never been tallied, but one researcher found forty-one Londons, fifty-six Berlins, twenty-four Dublins, thirty-two Athenses, and twenty-seven Moscows, among others!

Reasons for European place names differ. Some were in memory of settlers' former homes, others in honor of historic events. Founded in 1818 by John coffee, Robert Beauty, John D. Carroll and John Read, Athens is one of the oldest incorporated cities in the State of Alabama. The town was first called Athenson, and the name was then shortened to Athens, after the ancient city in Greece. More interestingly, some names were given by mistake. For instance, the people of Moscow, Kansas, wanted their city to follow the name of the explorer Moscoso. They shortened his name to Mosco, and an official in Washington, thinking the Kansans couldn't spell, added a "w".

1What might have made the official in Washington change Mosco into Moscow?

A.Moscow is a world-famous city name.

B.He thought Moscoso would prefer Moscow.

C.He believed Moscow was a far better name.

D.He couldn't spell very well and made a mistake.

2The underlined word "tallied"? In Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to"________".

A.builtB.believedC.addedD.visited

3The best title for the passage is ________.

A.The Story of Moscow, Kansas

B.American Cities and Their Names

C.Interesting Names

D.Old World Place Names in America
