1.C。

be famous for 是固定搭配。

2.B。

根据后面的时间状语可知，本空用过去时。

3.B 。

上文的impossible 意思是“不可能” ，含有否定含义，故选anything 。

4.D。

故事发生在1952 年，充斥于London 街道的不会是马车，也不会是卡车或自行
bike。

车，而是
5.B。

前面的their 指代的是后面的“ the buses and cars” 由此推断出把它们弃之街头的是司机们。

6.B 。

能和that 搭配的有so 和such，但such 不能修饰many。

上文已经提到one hand, 另一只用the other hand。

8.C。

so as to 是一个固定搭配。

(A)
这篇幽默故事讲的是：三个人在谈论“如果大夫告知你还能活三个月的时间，你最想做什么？” 这个问题。

其中一个人说他将从银行取出所有的钱和朋友一块去度假，并尽可能多地旅游一些地方。

另一个人说他将买掉自己的房子，买一辆好车，做一名赛车手。

也许能有机会参加汽车大赛。

第三个人说，如果大夫告诉他这个坏消息，他将再去看一个医生。

1.B. 根据题意，这三个人在火车站等火车，当然是在候车室。

2.A. 答案就在“ The other two men thought about this for a while, then Carl spoke. ”这句话中。

3.B.短文第二句即是本题的答案。

4.D.由Allan 说的话，可推测出 D 为最佳答案。

5.C. “ With these words, he turned to the other man, saying, ‘ And what about you? '”这句话以及后边的回答是解答本题的关键之所在。

(B) 这是一篇读后让人惊叹不已的故事。

象棋大师Watson 在旅馆时遇到了一个孩子。

孩子的母亲请求Watson 与儿子下一盘棋。

Watson 很不情愿地答应了。

然而下棋过程中，那个孩子漫不经心地，还不时地跑出去和姐姐打网球。

让Watson 考虑之后再叫他。

Watson 后来处于僵局，最终也未能挽回。

一个年仅十岁的孩子在二十八分钟里就胜了他。

他非常佩服。

后来，Watson 用这个孩子的棋路获得了一个银杯。

作者最后的“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.”这句话可以让人体会到Watson 的心情，发人深思。

6.D。

本题需综合考虑下文所回忆的那局输掉的棋方找到答案。

7.C。

由作者在“ I wasn ' t too happy. A player likes the opponent to play as well as he does. ”一句中所流露出的感情以及“ But it was holiday time and I agreed to play. ”等句子的暗示可判断作者根本没有把这个小孩子放在眼中。

不难得出正确的答案。

8.D 。

那小男孩即便是在“ a quick move, then tennis, back to the board, then back to his sister. ”这种情况下还是赢得了这局棋。

这说明他的水平是明显高于对方的。

9.A 。

本题难度稍大，但根据作者所表达的情感及“I had a chance to use his game today, and it won this cup for me.”一句可知 A 是最佳答案。

10. B。

由“ I was beaten. ⋯He was the winner--- in twenty-eight minutes. ”等句子，可明显看出 B 是错误的。
