(10 points) 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 other’s 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 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 don’t have to be champion in order to enjoy it. it is not always played by two people sitting at the same table. The first time of 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. 76. Which of the following is known to be true? A. Chess was played in India long before 900. B. Chess is an old Indian traveling 900 C. Chess is the oldest game in the world. D. Chess was played in Japan and Europe before 400 77. One player has won the game when___. A. he says “check” to the other player. B. the other player’s king cannot move anywhere. C. He attacks the other player’s king. D. he says some Persian words. 78. Which of the following will you hear when one player has won the game? A. “Check mate” B. “Shah mat” C. “The King is dead”D. “check” 79. Which following is NOT correct of the passage? A. All kinds of people can play chess B. Some people write each other playing chess. C. The Russian lost the game played by radio. D. Only two people can play chess sitting at the same table. 80. According to the old rules of the game___. A. the queen could move no more than one square at a time. B. the king could not move anywhere. C. the queen was the strongest piece on the board. D. the king had to be attacked all the time. B.

READING COMPREHENSION. (1 pts) Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer: True (T), False (F). Isn’t it amazing how much time we spend talking about food? “Have you ever eaten ?”, “What did you have for lunch?” and so on. And yet when you travel from one country to another, you find that people have quite different feelings about food. People often feel that what they eat is normal, and that what other people eat is strange or silly. In most part of Asia, for example, no meal is complete without rice. In England, people eat potatoes every day. In the Middle East, bread is the main part of every meal. Eating, like so many things we do, becomes a habit which is difficult to change. Americans like to drink a lot of orange juice and coffee. The English drink tea four or five times every day. Australians drink a large amount of beer and the French drink wine every day. The sort of meat people like to eat also differs from one country to another. Horse meat is thought to be delicious in France. In Hong Kong, some people enjoy eating snakes. Newsreaders eat sheep meat, but they never eat goat meat. The Japanese don’t like eat sheep meat because of its smell, but they enjoy raw fish. So it seems that although eating is a topic that we can talk about for hours, there is little common sense in what we say about it. People everywhere enjoy eating what they have always been eating, and there is very little we can do to change our eating habits. 101. The text is mainly about some special dishes in the world. 102. The writer think that people like eating different food as they travel from one country to another. 103. In many Asian countries people almost always have rice in their meal. 104. The Japanese enjoy eating raw fish because it doesn’t smell. 105. People everywhere think that we should do much to change our eating habits. IV. PREPOSITIONS AND PHRASAL VERBS.

Read the following passage and choose the best answer A, B, C or D. (10 points) 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 other’s 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 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 don’t have to be champion in order to enjoy it. it is not always played by two people sitting at the same table. The first time of 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. 76. Which of the following is known to be true? A. Chess was played in India long before 900. B. Chess is an old Indian traveling 900 C.

Isn’t it amazing how much time we spend talking about food? “Have you ever eaten ?”, “What did you have for lunch?” and so on. And yet when you travel from one country to another, you find that people have quite different feelings about food. People often feel that what they eat is normal, and that what other people eat is strange or silly. In most part of Asia, for example, no meal is complete without rice. In England, people eat potatoes every day. In the Middle East, bread is the main part of every meal. Eating, like so many things we do, becomes a habit which is difficult to change. Americans like to drink a lot of orange juice and coffee. The English drink tea four or five times every day. Australians drink a large amount of beer and the French drink wine every day. The sort of meat people like to eat also differs from one country to another. Horse meat is thought to be delicious in France. In Hong Kong, some people enjoy eating snakes. Newsreaders eat sheep meat, but they never eat goat meat. The Japanese don’t like eat sheep meat because of its smell, but they enjoy raw fish. So it seems that although eating is a topic that we can talk about for hours, there is little common sense in what we say about it. People everywhere enjoy eating what they have always been eating, and there is very little we can do to change our eating habits. 1. The text is mainly about some special dishes in the world. F 2.
