C. Although Washington was a new city, it was already familiar to President Jefferson. In fact, Jefferson had helped plan the capitals streets and public buildings. Besides being a city planner and architect, the new President was a writer, a scientist, and the inventor of several tools.Jefferson lived in the Presidential Palace. The Palace was more than a home; it contained offices for the President and some of his staff and advisors. It also included dining and reception rooms, where the President could entertain congressmen. However, President Jefferson did not give many formal parties. This was partly because there was no First Lady. Jeffersons wife had died in 1782. But it was also because Jefferson liked to live in a simple fashion. Once, he showed up for an important meeting wearing old clothes and slippers! Neither Washington nor Adams would ever have dressed so casually.Jefferson was different from the first two Presidents in other ways, too. He disagreed with them about how the country should be run, and about what part a President should play in running it.11. According to the passage, the Presidential Palace was built to be _.A. an office building and homeB. a meeting place for congressmenC. a homeD. an office building12.

It can be inferred from the passage that George Washington and John Adams both _.A. lived in the Presidential PalaceB. were rather formal gentlemenC. were different from Thomas Jefferson only in how to run the countryD. dressed casuallyPassage 2 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 others 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 dont 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 play chess by post. This must make chess the slowest game in the world.16. Which of the following is known to be true?A. Chess is an old Indian traveling game.B. Chess is the oldest game in the world.C.

According to the old rules of the game _.A. the queen was the strongest piece on the boardB. the king had to be attacked all the timeC. the queen could move no more than one square at a timeD. the king could not move anywherePassage 3In the past 10 years, Americas National Basketball Association (NBA) has grown increasingly dependent on the rest of the world to supply players. When Michael Jordan and Larry Bird won gold in Barcelona in 1992, the Americans were praised for teaching the world how to play basketball. This season, however, 20 percent of NBA rosters (花名册) will be filled by non-Americans. NBA commissioner David Stern happily embraces the trend. On a visit to Paris in October, Stern outlined his vision for the future, which is likely to see Europe hosting NBA games by 2010. The NBA is now planning to take China by storm. “Our experience in China has been that it is going to be explosive in its growth,” said Stern. The strategy in China is TV. “Weve made 14 deals in China with local and national networks on cable and satellite.” The success Chinese centre Yao Ming has paved the way for the NBA marketing blitz in China. The NBA, which is broadcasted in more than 200 countries in 42 languages, will put that to the test in October 2004 when the Houston Rockets play two pre-season games against the Sacramento Kings in Beijing market to compensate for tough times on home soil. “It doesnt matter where the players come from, all the NBA teams now know that they have to scout (寻找)internationally,” said Terry Lyons, the NBAs vice-president of international public relations. “It has increased the level of competition here.” As Frenchman Tony Parker and Argentine Emanuel Ginobili showed in winning championship rings with the San Antonio Spurs last season, many people can earn the respect of their America peers. Others, such as Houston Rockets Chinese centre Yao MingNo.1 draft pick in 2002and the Detroit Pistons 18-year-old Serb Darko Milicicnumber two overall in this years draftare icons(偶像) in waiting.

Water heats up more slowly than land, but once it has become warm it takes longer to _46_ down. If the Earths surface were entirely land, the temperature at night would fall quite quickly and night would be much colder than day, as it is on the moon. This does _47_ happen in inland deserts, hundreds of miles from any sea. The climate of the continents, especially in the temperate zones, is very much affected by the oceans around them. The areas close to the sea have a maritime climate, _48_ rather cool summers and warm winters. The interiors, far from the sea, have a continental climate with extremely hot summers and cold winters.Rain _49_ from the evaporation of rivers, seas and lakes. Even after heavy rain, the pavements in a city do not take long to dry because the rainwater evaporates into the air. On a warm dry day it evaporates very rapidly, _50_ warm air can take in more moisture than cold air. But at any particular temperature, the atmosphere can hold only a certain maximum amount of water vapour. The air is then saturated, like a sponge that cannot hold _51_ more water. The lower the temperature, the less water vapour is required to saturate the air.All over the surface of the Earth, millions of tons of water are _52_ every second, condensing in the air into drops so small that it takes thousands of them to make a single raindrop. It is these _53_ drops that make clouds. When clouds roll in from the sea over the warmer land, they are forced to rise and become cooler in the colder upper atmosphere. As the air cools down it may pass through its saturation point and _54_ some of its water vapour turns to rain. Day in, day out, the same water circulates between the air and the land: rivers _55_ to make clouds, clouds make rain, rain makes rivers which in turn run into the sea. This is called the rain cycle.46. A. hold B. keep C. cool D. let47. A. not B. indeed C. only D. certainly48. A. with B. because of C. in D. instead of49. A. goesB. leaves C. runs D. comes50.
