C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AAnnie Wang was 5 when she first saw the 32 classic chess fixtures: knights, bishops, rooks, pawns and the king and queen. “I thought they looked interesting,” said the six grader. “They looked like toys.”In March, 11-year-old Annie became the youngest American girl to ever bee a chess master in the 12-and-under category in National Junior Chess Congress petition held in Irvine. Annie said her parents signed her up for introductory chess lessons when she expressed an interest in the game. “It only took me a month to learn all the rules. My dad now plays chess, but of course Im the better player,” said Annie, who celebrated her 12th birthday on May 18, xx.She explained that matches can run from 10 minutes to more than six hours. If she gets up to stretch during a longer game, she knows how to recognize if her opponent tries to cheat by moving a bishop or a pawn. “Id notice because we record any moves in a book,” she said.When she grows up, Annie is considering being a rocket scientist. And in chess she hopes to bee a grand master. “I dont know whether older players are frustrated or angry when I beat them,” she acknowledged. But she plays to win. “Id like to be the world champion in chess. When I beat adults, it makes me feel good,” she said.Annies chess master title was awarded on the basis of her age and for reaching a threshold of official tournament points determined by her skill and that of her opponents. “Almost all the players who bee grand masters start young,” said Jack Peters, an International Master who formerly wrote a chess column for The Times. Peters said he had peted in matches while sitting next to Annie. He said youngsters under 16 often pete against men old enough to be their grandfathers. “It can get a little embarrassing,” Peters said. “I lost to a 14-year-old child a few months back.”21. Annies parents signed her up for introductory chess lessons because_.A. her dad liked playing chess B. she was interested in the gameC. chess fixtures were her favorite toys D. chess rules were easy for her to learn22. According to the passage, it can be inferred that Annie Wang_. A. didnt like chess at an early age.B. is a highly talented chess playerC. doesnt show respect for adultsD. once peted against Jack Peters23. What is the best title of this text?A. Annie Wangs dream when she was young B. Annie Wangs determination in practicing chessC. The method Annie Wang used to play chess wellD. The youngest American chess master Annie WangBIts been a bad year for the African rhino, particularly for those that call South Africa home. In xx, over 1,000 rhinos were hunted in South Africa alone. Its a dangerously high number, when you consider only 5,000 black rhinos are left on the continent.The white rhino story is a happier tale. Rescued from the edge of extinction, the species now number 20,000-though conservationists worry they are in danger too, as rhino horn continues to sell for a large sum on the black market.“A rhino is killed every seven hours, and when you mention rhinos to everyone, they tend to shake their heads in desperation,” says Dereck Joubert, who, along with his wife Beverly set up Rhino Without Borders, a charity that has recently e up with a novel approach to saving this special creature.In xx, the charity will move 100 rhinos from South Africa which holds 80 of Africas rhino population-to Botswana, which has the lowest hunting rate in the continent. The rhinos are mainly donated from private sellers and the South African government.“Its a bad idea to keep all your high-value assets in one place. Ecologically and genetically, it makes a lot of sense to spread them around, so if theres a natural calamity in one place, you dont lose everything.” Dereck Joubert explains.One of the reasons Botswanas hunting levels are so low is that they have zero tolerance when it es to hunters. Anti-hunting is handled by the Botswana Defense Force, who has a “shoot to kill” policy.“If hunters are warned, but dont immediately put down their weapons, the military(军事的) basically treats them like an aggressive military threat.” Joubert notes. “The risks are very high for hunters.” Botswana is also more remote and less populous-two factors that he says help keep hunting at a low rate.Writers used to approach publishers to have their work read by the public. Now they can simply post them and find millions of instant audience.24. From the first two paragraphs we can know that _.A. the white rhinos have been in danger of dying outB. the number of the black rhinos is a little bit higher than that of the whiteC. both black and white rhinos are in danger of extinctionD. the white rhinos seem to have a more hopeful future25. Which of the following is NOT true about the Rhinos Without Borders according to the passage?A. It is a charity set up by a couple. B. Its aim is to save the special rhinos in Africa. C. The charity has already moved 100 rhinos to Botswana. D. Their approach to saving the rhinos may be practical.26. The underlined word “calamity” in the fifth paragraph can be replaced by_.A. situation B. campaign C. environment D. disaster27. Why can rhinos be well protected in Botswana?A. Because the punishment there for the hunters is extremely strict. B. Because most people there live in the city far from the world.C. Because people there are well educated about the species. D. Because Botswana has no trade for the rhino horn.CThink about how many ways there are for you to municate today. You can send a letter or pick up the phone and make a call. But today, one of the most popular ways to municate is called instant messaging (IM). In any instant messaging system, you type a little text message on your puter, press the “Send” button, and your message instantly shows up on your friends screen. But how does it work?Actually, the whole process is very cool. In the 1980s, you could sit down at a puter at any big university. Up to 100 people would be logged in and sharing the puter because these puters were very expensive. You could type a mand to send an instant message to anyone logged into the same puter. It felt like everyone was connected together no matter where they were sitting.Today, you can do the same thing but with lots more possibilities. And you can municate with just about anyone in the world. All you need is an instant messaging program installed on your puter. There are many programs to choose from. AOLs instant messenger is probably the most popular right now. MSN has one. Google has Google Talk. When youre ready, you create an account. Next, you need to figure out the IM names your friends use. Add their IM names to your IM program. Click on the friend you want to talk to and then type away. When you click “Send”, your friend gets the message instantly.But behind the scenes, amazing things are happening. Your IM program is municating with a puter, called a server which could be just down the road or even in some other city. All your friends puters are municating with a server, too. Your puter is constantly chatting with it to make everything happen. The network called the Internet makes it all possible.28. Why did so many people share a puter in the 1980s?A. Because they wanted to be connected to each other.B. Because few people could afford to buy puters.C. Because few people knew how to use puters. D. Because puters at that time were too large.29. From the passage we can see that “Google Talk”_.A. is a kind of search engineB. refers to a puter panyC. is a famous websiteD. is an IM program30. What underlined word “it” in the last paragraph most probably refers to_.A. a server B. an IM program C. a puter D. the Internet 31. What plays the most important role in sending instant message? A. Your puter. B. Your friends puter. C. Your server. D. The Internet.DFor the past 60 years, Guinness World Records has inspired millions of people to achieve record-breaking feats. To help celebrate these amazing acplishments, the pany is proud to announce the launching of the 60 Years 60 Words Challenge on Sept.8. “The petition is a fun way to celebrate 60 years of record-breaking achievements,” says Stuart Claxton, marketing director of Guinness World Records. “I am looking forward to seeing some of these kids break their own records in the future.” How to enter the petitionKids in the United States aged 7 to 12 can enter this national petition by selecting their favorite Guinness World Records title and telling about it however they see fit.

If you cant remember what you read or study, it will be a waste of time. 36 One useful aid that does help you remember what you study is to have a specific purpose or reason for reading.Why does a clerk in a store go away when your reply to her offer to help is, “No, thank you. Im just looking.”? Both you and she know that if you arent sure what you want, you are not likely to find it. But suppose you say instead, “Yes, thank you. I want a pair of sun glasses.” She says, “Right this way, please.” Its quite the same with your studying. If you choose a book, “just looking” for nothing in particular, you are likely to get just thatnothing. 37 Your reasons will vary; they will include reading or studying “to find out more about”, “to understand the reasons for” and “to find out how”._38 Before you start to study, you say to yourself something like this, “I want to know why Stephen Vincent Benet happened to write about America”. Because you know why you are reading or studying, you relate the information to your purpose and remember it better.Reading is not one single activity. 39 As you read, you take in ideas rapidly and accurately. But at the same time you express your own ideas to yourself as you react to what you read. You have a kind of mental conversation with the author.This additional process of thinking about what you read includes evaluating it, relating it to what you already know, and using it for your own purposes. 40 One part of critical reading, as you have discovered, is distinguishing between facts and opinions. Facts can be checked by evidence. Opinions are ones own personal reactions. Another part of critical reading is judging sources. Still another part is drawing accurate inferences.A. This is an effective studying way. B. In other words, a good reader is a critical reader.C. You remember better when you know what youre reading.D. At least two important processes go on at the same time.E. It is important for students to have a positive attitude to their study.F. But if you do know what you want, you are almost sure to get it.G. Perhaps you have already discovered some good ways to keep yourself from forgetting.第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1. 5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A. B.
