He was given the silver cup.“It isnt rightly mine,” he said, when he was holding the cup. “It was won two years ago when I was on holiday in”“ A family was staying at my hotel at that time. Mrs Prig, the mother, was told that I played chess, and she begged me to give her young son a game.Hes only ten.she said, “Ive been told that he plays quite well.”“Well, as you can guess, I wasnt too happy. A player likes the opponent(对手)to play as well as he does. But it was holiday time and I agreed to play. We placed the board(棋盘) in the garden. I hoped it would be quick-and so it was.”“I soon knew that David Prig was no learner. After ten minutes his sister came outside and began to play tennis against a wall. The boy seemed to lose interest in our game. He moved a piece(棋子)without care. I gave my attention to the board.”“Call me when you are ready, Mr. Watson,” he said.When I was ready, I looked up. He had gone off to play with his sister. I studied the board, and found I was driven into corner. So it went on with David: a quick move, then tennis, back to the board, then back to his sister. My difficult condition became impossible to change. I was beaten. Oh, so easily, by a ten-year-old chess player. He was the winner-in twenty-eight minutes.“David Prig, a name to remember. I had a chance to use his game today, and it won this cup for me. To him, of course, it is only one of a hundred, or perhaps a thousand, winning games.”41. What did Mr. Watson mean, when he said, “It isnt rightly mine. It was won”?A. He meant he had played chess with a little boy for twenty-eight minutes two years before.B. He meant he had had a chance to take part in an important game two years before.C. He meant he had learned how to play chess from a child two years before.D. He meant he had learned a good game from a child two years before.42. Before the game, Mr Watson was quite sure that_.A. the boy played as well as he did.B. he would be Southern Chess Master two years later.C. he would win the game quickly. D. the boy would win the game quickly 43. Why did David play tennis while he was playing chess with adults?A. Because he had no interest in playing chess with Watson?B. Because he was not good at playing chess.C. Because he liked playing tennis much better than playing chess.D. Because he played chess much better than Watson.BThere are plenty of possible reasons why you dont have any flowers near you. Perhaps, you just dont like them. Or maybe someone nearby doesnt. Maybe youre at work, and flowers are not allowed. Assuming(假定)the problem is only that you dont have time to go out and get flowers, you may be surprised to learn just how easy it actually is.Its good to get flowers for yourself, but even better to be given them. Im sure you know this, just as Im sure theres someone special in your life who feels the same way. So why not take the chance to make someone happy, and get them some flowers? I know, you would, but its just too much trouble. Well, thats where youre wrong!Its a good excuse, and while it might have worked in the past, Im afraid it doesnt work any more. Perhaps you are really too busy to go into town and get some flowers. On the other hand, the fact that you are reading this clearly shows that you have enough time to go online. Nowadays, you can buy anything pretty well online, and yes that includes flowers.By the way, theres another point to consider here.Price. Im sure youve noticed that you can usually get things cheaper if you buy online, and flowers are no exception(例外).For the same price as a few roses, you could have a full bouquet (串，束)of flowers picked and arranged by an expert.So why are you still here? Go online, and hunt down some flowers! There are plenty of flower shops available(可利用的),and you should have no trouble finding one that delivers near you, especially if you live in a city or a large town. Then youre just a few clicks away from a beautiful bouquet.44. This passage mainly tells us that_.A. there are few flowers around us nowB. flowers are not allowed in the workplacesC. people dont like flowers any moreD. how we can get flowers when were busy45. From the third paragraph, we can know that_.A. we can get flowers with the help of the InternetB. it is very difficult for us to get more flowersC. everyone used to be very busy with their workD. we are too busy to surf the Net46. The underlined word “delivers” in the last paragraph refers to “_”.A. buys sth. for youB. brings sth. to youC. books sth. for you D. teaches sth. to you47. Whats the purpose of the authors writing this passage?A. To advise people to buy flowers online.B. To explain why people dont buy flowers.C. To list the advantages of buying flowers online.D. To share some information about a flowers shop.CLife seems more rushed than ever, but you might be surprised to learn people have more leisure time than 40 years ago. In the past, most men worked 12 hours a day, six days a week. But today, working a 40-hour week, do people enjoy more leisure time?No, at least we dont feel it. It might because we waste half of all our leisure time watching television. A survey（调查） found that nearly three out of four adults would prefer to watch a movie at home than at the theater. A majority of the surveys respondents said they were “just too busy” to go to the theater. So if you want more free time: turn it off.The modern technology also changes the way of leisure. Technology makes it easier to get what we want. You had to go to the theatre to hear classical music before. Now with CDs or MP3,you can listen everywhere you like, but also without other audience to share your pleasure.Work-related technology can also affect leisure time and enjoyment. You can feel that your time is never entirely your own. New surveys suggest technology kills the leisure time. For centuries, we have believed that new labor saving devices（设备） will give us more time to explore the arts or visit friends and family. But technology almost never does what we expect. Almost all of us have less leisure time than ever. Computers and communication technologies are destroying the idea of leisure.According to a new study that reported the distinctions between home and the workplace, more and more of us go online from our offices to buy the things and perform the tasks we used to do when we got home. This isnt what technology is supposed to be doing for us. But when new tools make life more difficult and stressful（有压力的） rather than easier and more meaningful, we are unconscious（无意识的） of it.48. We had to work_ more hours in the past in a week than we do now.A. 40B.12C.72D.3249. If want to have more leisure time, we should_.A. work more to make enough moneyB. work less time to enjoy moreC. buy more modern inventionsD. work 12 hours a day50. The writer thinks modern technology actually_.A. frees us from the hard workB. lets us have more leisure timeC. affects the way of our leisureD. shortens our working time51. When you listen to the MP3, you_.A. cant share your pleasure with the othersB. cant have really funC. cant listen to it anywhere you likeD. cant save money52. From the text, we can know_.A. we all clearly know the disadvantages of the modern technologyB. if we want more leisure time, wed better turn TV offC. we cant do the tasks we used to do when we got homeD. labor saving devices will give us more free timeD“Wanted by the FBI.” To the murderer, or the bank robber, these are the most frightening words in the world. When the criminal(罪犯) hears them, he knows that six thousand trained persons are after him.Why should he be so afraid? There are hundreds of cities and thousands of villages where he can hide. There are large forests and deserts where he can lose himself. Besides, hes usually rich with stolen money.Money can make it easier to hide. With money, the criminal can pay a dishonest doctor to operate on his face and make him hard to recognize. Money can pay for a hideout(躲避) in some far-off place. But the criminal knows what happened to public enemies such as John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson, and Machine Gun Kelly. They had plenty of money and good hideouts. Yet one by one they were found by the men of the FBI.They know every trick the criminal knows and many more. If he makes just one mistake, theyll get him. Thats why the man who is hunted cant sleep. Thats why he become nervous, why he jumps at every sound. When he makes a mistake, hell no longer be “wanted by the FBI”. Hell have been caught.The FBI began on May 10,1924. Attorney General Harlan F. Stone chose J. Eegar Hoover, a young lawyer in the Department of Justice, to head the new agency(机构). “What we need is a wholly new kind of police force,” he said. “Criminals today are smart. They use stolen cars and even planes to make their gateways. They have learned to open any lock. The criminal would have discovered science. We cant beat them with old methods. We have to train officers to work scientifically.”J. Edgar Hoover quietly went ahead with his plans. He picked his men care- fully. They had to be between the ages of twenty-five and thirty- five. He wanted only men with good manners and good character. When working as his officers they would have to meet all kinds of people. Hoover wanted men who could handle a teacup as well as a gun. He chose men so carefully that he made the FBI the hardest service in the world to get into. The FBI cannot help in every police problem. It can look into only certain crimes against the government. Solving all other crimes is the duty of local police forces.53. A man wanted by the FBI will find that money is_.A. not at all usefulB. only helpful for a whileC. necessary for staying freeD. important and useful54. Before he worked with the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover was a _.A. policemanB. lawyerC. teacherD. general55. The FBI was set up in order to_.A. reduce crimesB. bring younger men into police workC. fight crimes scientificallyD. offer jobs56. A man who can “handle a teacup as well as a gun” has both_.A. courage and mannersB. strength and kindnessC. wisdom and energy D. ability and humorEFrogs have very special skin. Besides keeping its insides (内脏) together, the skin of a frog is used for taking in water and breathing. Frogs do not drink the way we do that is, they do not swallow water. Instead, they take in it through their skin. This not only keeps them properly wet, but also is a way to transport oxygen into their bodies. Therefore, a frog needs to make sure it stays nice and wet! If water is not available (可获得的), frogs will hide themselves in wet dirt. Frogs can also produce a mucus (黏液) over their skin to keep themselves wet.Different types of frogs have different feet which are suited to their habitats and lifestyles. Some frogs have claw-like feet which are meant to help them dig. The legs of a frog are very strong and can help them to jump twenty times as far as their own length. Thats like us jumping about 100 feet! Have your kids jump like frogs and measure how far they can jump this may help them appreciate the distance achieved by frogs when they jump.Frogs have an interesting way of eating their food. They have long, sticky tongues that stick out suddenly, catch insects and then roll back into their mouths. Frogs actually have teeth. They are tiny and cone-shaped (圆锥形的) and their function is to hold the insect in place until it is swallowed. A frogs teeth can be found in a row on the roof of the mouth. Finally, if youve ever watched a frog swallow, you will have noted that its eyes close and sink down into its headthese big eyeballs actually push the food from the frogs mouth down into its throat.5
