Question

【題目】Watson won his most important game and became Southern Chess Master（南部象棋大師） in 1977.He was given the silver（銀） cup.

“It isn’t 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 Prang,the mother,was told that I played chess;and she begged me to give her young son a game.” “He’s only ten.”She said,Ive been told that you play quite well.”

“Well,as you can guess.I wasn’t too happy. A player likes the opponent（對手） to play as well as he does. But it was holiday time and I agreed to play. We placed the board（棋盤） in the garden. The game began .I hoped it would be quick-----and so it was.”

“I soon knew that David Prang was no learner.After ten minutes his sister came outside and began to play tennis against 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 a 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.”

試題分析：短文大意：象棋大師沃森在旅館時遇到了一個孩子。孩子的母親請求沃森與兒子下一盤棋， 沃森很不情愿地答應(yīng)了。然而下棋過程中,那個孩子漫不經(jīng)心地，還不時地跑出去和姐姐打網(wǎng)球。讓沃森考慮好之后再叫他。沃森處于僵局,最終也未能挽回。一個年僅十歲的孩子在二十八分鐘里就勝了他。他非常佩服。后來, 沃森用這個孩子的棋路獲得了一個銀杯。

【1】D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)下文所回憶的那局輸?shù)舻钠?/span>可推知此話的意思是他從那個孩子哪里學(xué)到了一局好棋，所以選D。

【2】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中I wasn’t too happy.A player likes the opponent to play as well as he does.句中所流露出的感情以及“But it was holiday time and I agreed to play.”等句子的暗示可判斷作者根本沒有把這個小孩子放在眼中，所以選C。

【3】D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)那小男孩即便是在“a quick move,then tennis,back to the board,then back to his sister.”這種情況下還是贏得了這局棋，這說明他的水平是明顯高于對方的，所以選D。

【4】A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)作者所表達(dá)的情感及“I had a chance to use his game today, and it won this cup for me.”一句可知戴維是真正的獲勝者，所以選A。

【5】B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù) “I was beaten.… He was the winner--- in twenty-eight minutes.”等句子,可明顯看出沃森原以為很快就能數(shù)量那個男孩，但他最終輸給了那個男孩，所以選B。
