Passage 17
Chess must be one of the oldest games in the world. An Arab traveler in India in the year 900 wrote that it was played 'long, long ago.' Chess was probably invented in India, and it has been played everywhere from Japan to Europe since 1400. The name 'chess' is interesting. When one player is attacking the other's king, he says in English, 'check'. When the king has been caught and cannot move anywhere, he says 'check mate'. These words come from Persian 'Shah mat' means 'the king is dead'. That is when the game is over, and one player has won.
Such an old game changes very slowly. The rules have not always been the same as they are now. For example, at one time the queen could only move one square at a time. Now she is the strongest piece on the board. It would be interesting to know why this has happened. Chess takes time and thought, but it is a game for all kinds of people. You don't have to be a champion in order to enjoy it. It is not always played by two people sitting at the same table. The first time the Americans beat the Russians was in a match played by radio. Some of the chess masters are able to play many people at the same time. The record was when one man played 400 games! It is said that some people played chess by post. This must make chess the slowest game in the world.

Passage 18
A poor boy, who had not enough money to buy a meal, stopped one hot summer at noon before an eating-house. The boss of the restaurant told him several times to go away， but the boy could not leave the wonderful smell. At last, the cook came out of the restaurant. Taking hold of his arm, he declared that the boy had been feeding upon the smell of their food. He asked the boy to pay half the price of a meal. The poor fellow said that he neither could nor would pay.
At that moment, a police happened to pass. He said to the boy, "You have been feasting one of senses with the good smell of this man's meat, you should satisfy one of his senses. How much money do you have?"
"I have only two pence in all the world, sir and I must buy some bread."
"Never mind,” answered the policeman, "Take your two pence between your hands. Now rattle them loudly."
The boy did so, and the officer, turning to the cook, said, "Now, sir, I think he had paid you the smell of your delicious food. The smell of your food rewarded his nostrils（鼻孔） and the sound of his money rewarded your ears."

Passage 20
Can trees talk? Yes, but not in words. Scientists have reason to believe that trees do communicate with each other. Not long ago, researchers learned some surprising things. First a willow tree attacked in the woods by caterpillars (毛虫) changed the chemistry of its leaves and made them taste so terrible that they got tired of the leaves and stopped eating them. Then even more astonishing, the tree sent out a special smell--a signal causing its neighbors to change the chemistry of their own leaves and make them less tasty.
Communication, of course, doesn't need to be in words. We can talk to each other by smiling, raising our shoulders and moving our hands. We know that birds and animals use a whole vocabulary of songs, sounds, and movements. Bees dance their signals, flying in certain patterns that tell other bees where to find nectar (花蜜) for honey. So why shouldn't trees have ways of sending message?
(1)、It's implied that caterpillars do not feed on leaves that have an unpleasant tast

Passage 21
A farmer had once made a purchase of a fine fat sheep, hoping to offer it up to the Buddha. While he was leading it home, four thieves saw him and made up their minds to steal the sheep. They knew him to be an honest person and one who thought of no more harm in others than he had in himself. They dared not take the sheep away from him by force, for they were too near the city. Therefore, they thought hard and got an idea: they first parted company and then came to the man as if they had come from several distinct parts.
The first thief came up to the farm and said, "My good old man, why are you leading this dog?"
At this moment the second thief, coming from another direction, cried to him, "Poor old man, where have you stolen this dog?" And immediately after these words, the third thief came up and asked the farmer, "Where are you going with this handsome greyhound?"
The poor farmer began to doubt whether the sheep was a sheep or not. But the fourth robber put him quite beside himself by coming near him and asking what the dog cost him.
The farmer began to think and got the conclusion that the four men, who came from different directions, could not all be wrong. He believed that the sheep he was leading was a dog. On realizing this, the farmer went back quickly to the market to demand his money from the person who sold him the dog, leaving the dog with the four thieves.

Passage 22
When Li Chen got married, his wife's mother came to live with them. She was not an easy woman to live with. She was always complaining and never seemed to stop talking.
Li Chen loved his wife but her mother was making his life miserable. Unfortunately, his wife would not listen to any criticism of her mother. "She is my mother," she said. "I must respect her and so must you."
As the months passed Li Chen became more and more unhappy. If only, he thought, there was some way of stopping his mother-in-la

At last, Li Chen sent for the doctor. The doctor arrived. He examined her and then put a thermometer in her mouth. He wanted to take her temperature. "Sit quietly," he said, "and don't open your mouth." Li Chen watched with surprise as his mother-in-law lay in bed with the thermometer in her mouth closed.

Passage 23
One way that scientists learn about man is by studying animals, such as mice and monkeys. The scientists in this laboratory are experimenting on mice. They are studying the relationship between diet and health. At this time, over one hundred experiments are being done in this laboratory.
In one of these experiments, the scientists are studying the relationship between the amount of food the mice eat and their health. The mice are in three groups. All three groups are receiving the same healthy diet. But the amount of food that each group is receiving is different. The first group is eating one cup of food each day, the second group is eating two cups, and the third group of mice is eating three cups.
After three years, the healthiest group is the one that is only eating one cup of food each day. The mice in this group are thinner than normal mice. But they are more active. Most of the day, they are running, playing with one another, and using the equipment in their cages. Also, they are living longer. Mice usually live for two years. Most of the mice in this group are still alive after three years.
The second group of mice is normal weight. They are healthy, too. They are active, but not as active as the thinner mice. But they are only living about two years, not the three years or more of the thinner mice.
The last group of mice is receiving more food than the other two groups. Most of the day, these mice are eating or sleeping. They are not very active. These mice are living longer than the scientists thought - about a year and a half. But they aren't as healthy. They're sick more often than the other two groups.

Passage 24
After retiring from 30 years of teaching, Ethell Pepper could easily have decided to sit back and relax and enjoy a peaceful retirement. But that kind of life is not for Ethell Pepper. "I just wanted to do something different. If you are going to participate in life, do it. Don't just sit down and look out of the window." She says. At 68, she decided to become one of the pioneer participants in a program at the University of California. The program offers campus housing and classes to people over sixty. She enrolled in a class called Human Relationships and a Diverse Society. "I taught my minority students in my English and drama classes in high school for 20 years. But in this course, I found out a lot about other cultures that I didn't know then. One of the more important lessons that I'm learning is to perceive, not to judge." Older adults can add to the educational resources of university by bringing with them a lot of valuable experience. Their presence on campus helps break some long believes on aging. Young students may have fears of growing older. But that kind of fear can be reduced as they see that older people can be active, healthy, and continue to contribute to society. The younger students can begin to see aging as a natural part of living.

Passage 25
Do you forget to turn off the lights and heaters when you go out of a room? In 2040 it will not matter. They will turn themselves off and on again when you return. A sensor will detect the presence of a human and turn the systems on, and when the humans leave it will turn them off again.
The sensors will work through the central home computer, and they will do much more than just turn the fires and lights on and off for you. They will detect faulty electrical appliances, isolate them so that they cannot harm anyone, and then warn you that they need repair. They will detect fire and if you are out of the house, the computer will call the firemen. It will also call the police, should the sensors detect an intruder（非法闯入者）. You will open the door using your personal card--the one you use for sh

Passage 26
Today the official language of the United States and most of Canada is English. However, French almost became the official language because of a war.
The French and Indian War was fought between 1754 and 1763. The name of this war is not accurate because the war was actually between England and France. The Indians fought on the side of the French.
France and England were trying to gain control of North America. France held Canada, and England held part of what is now the United States. However, France tried to expand its land by moving southward into New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Virginia. When the French built a fort（堡垒）on the Ohio River, the residents in Virginia sent George Washington to attack the fort in 1752. However, the French defeated Washington.
The French, aided by the Indians, outsmarted（比…..聪明） the English and won many early battles. Later, the British began to do well against the French. In the final battle in Quebec, Canada, General Wolfe of England faced General Montcalm from France. Both generals died in this battle, but the English outlasted（比…..持久）the French and won the battle. Thus, most of North America today has the English culture and language.

Passage 27
My wealthy uncle was dying. He wanted to leave me his entire fortune, which was about half a million dollars. There was, one condition: I must be married before he died. If not, I wouldn't receive a cent.
I was not a greedy man, but I thought half a million dollars was a rather high price for keeping my freedom. I decided to make the great sacrifice. It was easier said than done. The doctor was certain my uncle would be dead within a fortnight(两周). That put me in a difficult position. You see, besides being forty years old, I was also ugly. I had no lady friends, I couldn't possibly advertise my
self as wealthy until after my marriage. Advertise! What a good idea!
I ran an advertisement in one of the popular Sunday newspapers. To my surprise and joy, I received over a thousand replies. I spent hours opening the letters.
My heart sank. I couldn't possibly read all the letters. Time was running out. In despair, I burnt all the letters. No choice was better than a bad choice. In this dejected(灰心的) state of mind, I went to see a good friend. He was a waiter in a restaurant. I told him my problem. "If you are really serious," he said, I can recommend my sister. She's an excellent cook and a good housekeeper. She is all alone now.

Passage 28
"Cool" is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings. "Cool" can be used to convey feelings of interest in almost anything. When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, "It's cool." You may think, "He's so cool." when you see your favorite football player.
We all maximize(最大化) the meaning of "Cool". You can use it instead of many words such as "new" or "surprising". Here's an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall they had visited. On one student's paper was just one sentence, "It's cool." Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and how he felt.
But the story also shows a scarcity of words. Without "Cool", some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility(可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colorful as the word "Cool"? I can. And I think they are also very cool.

Tom arrived at the bus station quite early for Paris bus. The bus for Paris would not leave until five to twelve. He saw a lot of people waiting in the station. Some were standing in line, others were walking around. There was a group of schoolgirls. Their teacher was trying to keep them in line. Tom looked around, but there was no place for him to sit.
He walked into the station cafe. He looked up at the clock there. It was only twenty to twelve. He
found a seat and sat down before a large mirror on the wall. Just then, Mike, one of Tom's workmates came in and sat with Tom.
"What time is your bus?" asked Mike. "There's plenty of time yet" answered Tom.
"Well, I'll get you some more tea then" said Mike.
They talked while drinking. Then Tom looked at the clock again. "Oh! It's going backward" he cried. "A few minutes ago it was twenty to twelve, and now it's half past eleven."

2、Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening.
One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one's own.
Then, in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy working lives. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one's free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has got the reward together with those who have shared the secret of Nature.
Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight's (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night.
(1)、Which of the following statements is NOT true?_________
A：People who love Nature prefer to live outside the city.
B：People who work in London prefer to live in the country.
C：Some people enjoying city life prefer to work and live inside London.
D：Many na

(2)、With the same money ________, one can buy a little house with a garden in the country.

答案： C

A：living in the country
B： having spent time working in the garden
C： having a garden of his own

1、
My Aunt Edith was a widow of 50, working as a secretary, when doctors discovered what was then thought to be a very serious heart disease.
Aunt Edith didn't accept defeat easily. She began studying medical reports in the library and found an article in a magazine about a well-known heart surgeon, Dr. Michael DeBakey, of Houston, Texas. He had saved the life of someone with the same disease. The article said his fees were very high; Aunt Edith couldn't possibly pay them. But could he tell her of someone whose fees she could pay?
So Aunt Edith wrote to him. She simply listed her reasons for wanting to live: her three children, who would be on their own in three or four more years; her little-girl dream of traveling and seeing the world. There wasn't a word of self-pity－only warmth and humor and the joy of living. She mailed the letter
, not really expecting an answer.
A few days later, my doorbell rang. Aunt Edith didn't wait to come in; she stood in the hall and read aloud:
Your beautiful letter moved me very deeply. If you can come to Houston, there will be no charge for either the hospital or the operation.
Signed :Michael DeBakey

2、
There are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals.
Short-term goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possibly, months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very munch without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.
The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.
Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.
(1)、Our long-term goals mean a lot _______.
A：if we cannot reach solid short-term goals
B：if we complete the short-term goals
C：if we have dreams of the future
D：if we put forward some plans
答案： B
(2)、New short-term goals are built upon______.
A：a daily basis
B：your achievement in a week
C：current activities
D：the goals that have been completed
答案： D
(3)、When we complete each step of our goals, ________.
A：we will win final success
B： we are overwhelmed
C：we will build up our confidence to achieve success
D：we should have strong desire for setting new goals
答案： C

My View of the Country Life and Town Life
内容需包括以下方面：
1.有一种观点认为：城市生活比乡村生活好；
2.你对这种观点的看法；
3.你的结论。
My View of the Country Life and Town Life
Some people believe that town life is better than country life. I don’t agree with this view.
It’s true that town life is convenient in many aspects. For example, town people can often go shopping in a big shopping mall and have fun in a park; and they can enjoy a more colorful nightlife. But there are also some disadvantages in town. For example, the noise and air pollution in town are more serious than those in the country. Besides, it costs more to live in town. Therefore, I prefer country life.
