For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D

19、. You should make the correct choice. 35 Chess(国际象棋 )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 “c

20、hess“ is interesting. When one player is attacking the others 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 when the game is over, and one player has won. S

21、uch 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

22、 it is a game for all kinds of people. You dont have to be a master chess player in order to enjoy it. It is not always played by two people sitting at the same table. The first tune the Americans beat the Russians was in a match played by radio. Some of the chess masters are able to play many peopl

23、e at the same time. The record was set 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. 36 According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? （ A） Chess is an old Indian traveling game. （ B） Chess is the oldest

24、game in the world. （ C） Chess was played in Japan and Europe before 1400. （ D） Chess was played in India long before 900. 37 One player has won the game when _. （ A） he attacks the other players king （ B） the other players king can only move one square （ C） the other players king can not move anywhe

25、re （ D） he says “check“ to the other player 38 Which of the following sentences is NOT true according to the passage? （ A） All kinds of people can play chess. （ B） Only two people can play chess sitting at the same table. （ C） Some people write to each other while playing each other. （ D） The Russia

27、） the king had to be attacked all the time （ C） the queen could move more than one square at a time （ D） the king could not move anywhere Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 40 Here are some situations where renting

28、 makes more sense than buying. 1. Job uncertainty. If you are a professional working with a company that can, or does, transfer you to different cities in short periods of time, then it may not make sense to buy. Renting allows you the flexibility of moving at the drop of a hat. If you are a profess

29、ional on the move, make sure any lease(租赁合同 )you sign is a “tenancy(租赁 )at will“, meaning, you can leave on 60 days(or a different agreed upon time)notice. Breaking a lease can be expensive, so keep this in mind. 2. Traveling. If you are constantly traveling with your job; particularly overseas, you

30、 may want to consider renting until you find the place you want to settle in. Owning a home requires that you are around(or someone reliable is around)to maintain your property. Being an absentee owner can be stressful since you are never able to take proper and full care of your purchase. 3. Risk.

31、The housing market is uncertain just like any other market. The crash in the late 1980s was a financial blow to many investors and home owners. Buying a house automatically increases your financial risk. As a result of your recent home purchase you will need to increase your car insurance to protect

32、 your new asset in the case of an emergency. 41 From the passage, we know that _. （ A） renting a house is always less expensive than buying a house （ B） a professional on the move should never break a lease （ C） constant travelers to foreign country neednt worry about their property （ D） when travel

33、ing, we may not take proper care of our purchase 42 What does the word “flexibility“(Line 3, Para. 2)mean? （ A） Chance. （ B） Freedom. （ C） Ability. （ D） Fortune. 43 According to the passage,_. （ A） investing in the housing market will certainly be profitable （ B） the housing market once crashed in t

34、he late 1980s （ C） no market is as certain as the housing market （ D） many people would buy a car earlier than buying a house 44 Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? （ A） For those who have bought houses, they will need to increase their car insurance. （ B） When you break the

35、 lease, you can suffer financial loss. （ C） Many people lost a lot of money when the housing market crashed in the late 1980s. （ D） The crash of the housing market could hardly be possible. 45 What can be the best title for the passage? （ A） How to Rent a House （ B） Risks in Buying a House （ C） Rent

36、ing vs. Buying a House （ D） Investing in the Housing Market Task 3 Directions: The following is a passage.
