Many chess players said that this meant the end of chess championships (冠军) around the world, since the fun had been taken out of the game.

There have been many writers who used their pens to fight things that were wrong. Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe was one of them.She was born in the USA in 1811. One of her books not only made her famous but has been described as one that excited the world, and was helpful in causing a civil war and freezing the slaves. The civil war was the American Civil War of 1861, in which the Northern States fought the Southern States and finally won.This book was named "Uncle Tom''''s Cabin". There was time when every English-speaking man, woman, and child has read this novel that did so much to stop slavery. Not many people read it today, but it isstill very interesting. The book has shown us how a warm-hearted writer can arouse (唤起) people''''s sympathies (同情). The writer herself had neither been to the Southern States nor been a slave. The Southern Americans were very angry at the novel, which they said did not at all represent (代表) true state of affairs, but the Northern Americans were wildly excited over it and were so inspired (激励) by it that they-were ready to go to war to set the slaves free.(1).

No war can be won without such a book as "Uncle Tom''s Cabin".3. College brings together people from all walks of life. There are so many different types of people in the world but if you go to a college campus, you are sure to find at least one of every kind. The great part about being here with so many different people is that you get to interact with some interesting characters and see how to deal with them. You will meet the people you dread the most, the smart-ass, the brain, or the unique spirit, but no matter who it is that is your worst nightmare to be around you will always be paired up with them in a group project. When you get into the real world you are not going to be able to pick your boss or coworkers. Interacting with these people in college and living with different roommates will help you learn how to cooperate with the people in life you find so unpleasant. College life is fun. The fact that I have been here for a short time just means it has not yet been a life changing experience to me. If I were to give any tips on how to survive, it would not be how to survive college, but how to survive life. I would have to say that one should be outgoing and live life to the fullest. Meet new people whenever you can because they just may be a major influence in your life. Also, get your work done before you go out and party. Lastly, I would have to say, in life if you ever feel lost or alone, talk to someone about it. Everyone gets depressed at times in their life and there is always someone who will listen to your problems.(1). What is the theme of the passage?A. Relationships in college.B. Homework in college.C.

Partners may be lazy.(3). Why does the author recommend meeting many new people?A. They may become your best friends.B. They may influence your life.C. They may help you someday.D. They make your life more fun.(4). How would you describe the author''s personality?A. Shy and under confidentB. Strong but quiet.C. Extremely pessimisticD. Optimistic and outgoing.(5). What does the author say to do if you''re depressed?A. Go somewhere by yourself.B. Talk to someone about it.C. Try to forget about it.D. See a psychologist immediately4. The ordinary raindrop is a mighty earth mover with sufficient strength to cut rock. When rainwater collects on the surface of the ground, some of it evaporates and some of it sinks into the earth.The remainder begins to flow downhill, commencing its lengthy journey form brook to stream to lake, or to a river that will carry it to the sea.As water flows along the ground, it picks up sand, pebbles, even boulders. It uses them to gnaw at the sides and bottom of its channel, gradually loosening more earth.By this process enormous amounts of mud and rock are moved from the land to the sea. Each year the Mississippi River carries 730 million tons of solid matter into the Gulf of Mexico.This constant hauling of land into the sea is lowering the United States’ average height above sea level at a rate of about one foot every 9000 years. If erosion continues at the same rate, the United States will be worn completely down to sea level in about 23 million years.(1). Flowing water gradually makes its channel ______.A. narrowerB. deeperC. widerD. both B and C(2). The average height of the United States above sea level ___.A. is being raised each yearB. remains constantC. will reach sea level in 9000 yearsD. is being lowered little by little(3). Erosion by water results in _______.A. wearing down the soilB. building up landC. enriching the soilD. both B and C(4). Implied but not stated: ________A. Millions of years ago the United States was higher than it is nowB. Great amounts of land are moved to the sea by riversC. The water that sinks into the earth also reaches the oceanD. The Gulf of Mexico will be filled up in about 23 million years(5). The best title for this selection is ________.A. How Water Destroys MountainsB. How Rivers Help UsC. The Average Height of the United StatesD. The Mighty Raindrop5.Although I had left school against the advice of my teachers, I had, without telling anyone, tried to continue my studies in literature (文学) at evening classes. It was a tiresome walk from one end of the city to another and to sit among adults was uninteresting. I was the youngest in the class, so the friendship I knew at school was absent.I put up with (忍受) it for a short period. It was too long a walk on cold winter''s nights and it was hard to put my heart into Shakespeare with wet shoes and trousers. So I continued reading books and started writing poetry at home.By chance, I won some prizes and awards (奖) for literature. A young woman from a TV company came to the college one day. She told me that I had won a national poetry award. I stared at her in astonishment and disbelief. She wanted to make a short film about me, to which I said, "No, I couldn'' t do that." Not that I had any real excuse, I was just frightened. In the end she persuaded me that 1 should do it the following day.So I did. They made a short film of me reading one of my poems and I became more interested in literature than ever. I wondered what I should do after this, and decided some weeks later that 1 could not imagine myself spending the rest of my days dealing with machines. So one evening, I hesitatingly told my parents that I wanted to return to school. They were greatly surprised and, I think, a little afraid but they did not try to persuade me not to, they wanted to know if I was sure, if I knew what it meant and whether I realized that if I gave up my job training, it would be verydifficult to get a good job. But nothing could stop me, and they asked about the matter no further.(1). Which of the following has most probably been discussed in this passage? ( )A. The writer''s unhappy childhood.B. The poor teaching quality ( 质量 ) of the writer''s school.C. The writer''s leaving school against his teachers'' advice.D. Whether it was worth leaving school for job training.(2). The writer did not feel comfortable at the evening school because ( ).A. he found it difficult to make friends with his classmatesB. he had to walk a long distance to the evening schoolC. he could not put his heart into reading books afterhe was caught in the rainD. of all of the above(3). After he won some prizes and awards for literature, a young woman from a TV company ( ).A. wanted to make his success known to the publicB. came to make friends with himC. invited him to make a speechD. came to tell him that he had become a very important person(4). After his success, he( )A. decided to get a good jobB. decided to continue hisstudies in literature at the evening schoolC. decided to return to the school he once leftD. began to feel very important and proud(5). Which of the following is NOT TRUE? ( )A. His parents worried that he would have no future if he returned to school.B. His parents worried that he would leave school again.C. It was difficult for one who studied literature to get a job.D. His parents did not want him to continue his education.答案:一、单项选择题(50分,共 50 题,每小题 1 分)1. A2. B3. A4. B5. D6. D7. B8. A9. D 10. A 11.
