　　After inventing dynamite(炸药) Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he foresaw its universally destructive powers too late. (Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the inventor of dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to people who had made worthwhile contributions to mankind.) Originally there were five awards: literature, physics, chemistry, medicine, and peace. Economics was added in 1968, just sixty-seven years after the first award ceremony.
　　Nobel’s original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this sum is used for the awards which vary from $30,000 to $125,000.
　　Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel’s death, the awards (gold medal, illuminated diploma, and money) are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics plays an important role in the judges’ decisions. Americans have won numerous science awards, but relatively few literature prizes.
　　(No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War II. Some people have won two prizes, but this is rare; others have shared their prizes. )
21. When did the first award ceremony take place?
A. 1895                                                            B. 1901
C. 1962                                                            D. 1968
22. Why was the Nobel prize established?
A. To recognize worthwhile contributions to humanity.
B. To resolve political differences.
C. To honor the inventor of dynamite.
D. To spend money.
23. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

B. Ceremonies are held on December 10 to commemorate Nobel’s invention.
C. Politics can play an important role in selecting the winners.
D. A few individuals have won two awards.
24. In which area have Americans received the most awards?

　　“We’re more than halfway now; it’s only two miles farther to the tavern (小旅馆),” said the driver.
　　“I’m glad of that,” answered the stranger. He meant to say more but the east wind blew clear down a man’s throat if he tried to speak. The girl’s voice was something quite charming, however, and presently he spoke again.
　　“You don’t feel the cold so much at twenty below zero out in the Western country. There’s none of this damp chill (湿冷),” he said, and then it seemed as if he had blamed the uncomplaining young driver. She had not even said that it was a disagreeable day, and he began to be conscious of a warm hopefulness of spirit.
　　“You’ll have cold drive going back!” he said anxiously, and put up his hand for the twentieth time to see if his coat-collar was as close to the back of his neck as possible. He had wished a dozen times for the warm old hunting rig (服装) in which he had many a day confronted (遇到) the worst of weather in the Northwest.
　　“I shall not have to go back!” exclaimed the girl, with eager pleasantness. “ I’m on my way home now. I drive over early just to meet you at the train, we had word that someone was coming to the tavern. ”
26. How far was the drive from the train to the tavern?
A. One mile.                                                    B. Two miles.
C. A little over four miles.                                 D. Less than four miles.
27. The driver was ______.
A. an old man                                                   B. a girl

28. From the passage we guess that the two speakers are in ______.
A. the West                                                       B. the East
C. the Northwest                                               D. the South
29. According to the stranger, in the West the winters are ______.
A. dry and cold                                                 B. humid and cold

　　Chess must be one of the oldest games in the world. An Arab traveller 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 when 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 a champion in order to enjoy it. It is not always played by two people sitting at the same table. The first time 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.
31. Which of the following is known to be true?
A. Chess is an old Indian travelling game.
B. Chess is the oldest game in the world.
C. Chess was played in Japan and Europe before 1400.
D. Chess was played in India long before 900.
32. One player has won the game when ______.
A. he attacks the other player’s king
B. he says some Persian words
C. the other player’s king can not move anywhere
D. he says ‘check’ to the other player
33. Which of the following will you hear when one player has won the game?
A. ‘Shah mat’.                                            B. ‘Check’.
C. ‘The king is dead’.                                  D. ‘Check mate’.
34. Which of the following is NOT correct?
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 chess.
D. The Russians lost the game played by radio.
35. According to the old rules of the game ______.
A. the queen was the strongest piece on the board
B. the king had to be attacked all the time
C. the queen could move no more than one square at a time
D. the king could not move anywhere
