My daydream was interrupted by the announcement of the 29 round. “Shake hands and start playing!” said the judge. I 30 across the board and saw that my first opponent (对手) was almost too small to see over the top of the table. “Aha!” I thought. “This will be a (n) 31 win.”

One unexpected game later, I 32 my over confidence. My opponent, the nine-year-old girl, had beaten me in only 10 minutes! I hid my disappointment and 33 her. “Good game! You’re a fantastic player,” I said with a sincere smile.

The next three rounds went by very quickly, with each game proving more 34 than the one before. By evening I had one win and three losses. After the second game, I was ready to go home and give up, 35 I stayed anyway, smiling and sincerely congratulating each of my opponents.

As the trophies were being awarded, I listened respectfully (尊敬地), clapping my hand when each winner’s name was 36 .

It was hard to hide my disappointment, but I tried. 37 , I heard the announcer say my name. “For excellent chess etiquette (礼仪), a 38 relationship, and great determination, the Good Sport Award 39 to Dustin Hodges,” the judge declared. It was amazing and I smiled broadly as I walked up to accept the prize. Although it wasn’t the trophy that I had hoped for, the gold cup looks pretty good on my bookcase. I think it won’t stay there forever, and I plan to 40 it with the championship trophy next year.

四、阅读理解（共15小题，30分。每小题2分）

第一节：阅读下面短文，从各题A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。

A

Samuel looked at his sister, Emily, and said, “I wouldn’t have thought Everett would be a thief.” Emily replied, “Whoa, we don’t know that for sure.” Samuel said, “But who else could it be? He was there, he had them in his hands, and now they are missing.”

Samuel remembered two days ago when he had brought out his coin collection for Everett to see. At the end of that day, Samuel’s mother asked him to take a note to Mr. Bates down the street, so he asked his friend, “Is it okay if I leave you for a few minutes?” Everett had said, “Go ahead. I’ll clean up here,” pointing at the piles of coins on the floor. When Samuel had returned, he had done his homework, had eaten dinner, and had read for a while before bed. It was not until two days later that he realized the quarters were gone.

Emily said, “Why don’t you just ask him?” “Ask him what? Hey, Best Friend, did you steal my coin collection?” Samuel thought for a moment, deciding if that would be a good idea. The theft of his collection left him with a feeling of betrayal (背叛). “How could I have misjudged my friend?”

The next day Samuel went over to Everett’s house. Everett was acting funny. In fact, Samuel thought Everett was acting like someone with a secret. Suddenly, Everett cried, “I can’t stand it anymore!” and pulled something from underneath the chair. “Go on—open it! I was going to wait until your birthday tomorrow, but I can’t wait!”

Slowly, Samuel lifted the top of the box. Laid out in front of him were all of the quarters from his coin collection. Each quarter was in its own place in a new collection case. Each quarter shone like it was new.

Samuel felt heat rush over his neck and ears. He weakly said, “Thank you—this means... a great deal to me.” He was thankful that Everett had cut him off before he said something bad. Everett was exactly the type of person he wanted as a friend!

41. From Paragraph 1-3, we know that _________.

American English and British English

Many students want to know about the differences between American English and British English. How did these differences come about? There is no quick answer to this question.

At first the language in Britain and America was the same. In 1776 America became an independent (独立的) country. After that, the language slowly began to change. For a long time the language in America stayed the same, while the language in England changed. For example, 300 years ago the English talked about “fall” Today, most British people talk about “autumn”, but Americans still talk about “fall”. In the same way Americans still use the expression “I guess” ( meaning “I think”), just as the British did 300 years ago. At the same time, British English and
