(A)
Three travelers, Allan, Carl and Paul were sitting on the chairs in a train station. They were waiting for a train that was very late.
To pass the time, they began talking to each other.
At first, they talked about the weather and their work. Then Paul said, "Tell me—what would you most like to do if your doctor tell you that you have only three months to live?"
The other two men thought about this for a while, then Carl spoke.
“Well,” he said, “if I have only three months to live, I’ll take all my money out of the bank and go to foreign countries for holidays with my best friend, Erik. I’d like to travel to the places in the world as many as possible. And I’ll stay at the best hotels and then eat the best food. I think I’ll have a wonderful time.”
“That’s very interesting,” Paul said.
With these words, he turned to the other man, saying, “And what about you?”
“I’ll tell you a secret,” Allan said. “I always want to be a racing driver. So if I have only three months to live, the first thing I’d like to do is to sell my house. With the money I’ll buy the fastest car in the world. Maybe I can enter all the big motor races.”
Then he laughed, “I might even end up (以……而告终) world champion.”
“Now it’s your turn,” Allan went on, “If your doctor tell you the bad news, what would you most like to do?”

Watson won his most important game and became Southern Chess Master (大师) in 1977. He was given the silver 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. Prig, 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, ‘I’ve been told that he plays quite well. ‘
“Well, as you can guess, I wasn’t too happy. A player likes the opponent (对手) to play as well as he does. But it was holiday time and I agreed to play. We placed the board (棋盘) in the garden. The game began. I hoped it would be quick — and so it was.
“Isoon knew that David Prig was no learner. After ten minutes his sister came outside and began to play tennis against a wall. The boy seemed to lose interest 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 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.
“David Prig, a name to remember. 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.”
6. When Mr. Watson said, “It isn’t rightly mine. It was won …”, he meant _______ two years before.
A. he had played chess with a little boy for twenty-eight minutes

C. he had learned how to play chess from a child

7. Before the game, Mr. Watson was quite sure that _______.
A. the boy played as well as he did
B. he would be Southern Chess Master two years later
C. he could win the game easily
D. the boy would win the game quickly
8. Why did David play tennis while he was playing chess with Watson?
Because he __________.
A. had no interest in playing chess with adults (成年人)
B. was not good at playing chess
C. liked playing tennis much better than playing chess
D. played chess much better than Watson
9. From the story, we know that __________.
A. David Prig was the real winner

C. neither of them was the real winner
D. both of them were the real winners

C. Watson learned something from David and won the silver cup.
D. Watson would never forget the name of the boy.

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。

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。
