  Watson won his most important game and became Southern Chess Master(大師)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(對(duì)手)to play as well as he does.But it was holiday time and I agreed to play.We placed the board(棋盤(pán))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.”

解析:

(1)

本題需綜合考慮下文所回憶的那局輸?shù)舻钠宸秸业酱鸢福?/P>

(2)

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.”等句子的暗示可判斷作者根本沒(méi)有把這個(gè)小孩子放在眼中.不難得出正確的答案.

(3)

那小男孩即便是在“a quick move, then tennis, back to the board, then back to his sister.”這種情況下還是贏得了這局棋.這說(shuō)明他的水平是明顯高于對(duì)方的.

(4)

本題難度稍大,但根據(jù)作者所表達(dá)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.

(5)

  由“I was beaten.… He was the winner--- in twenty-eight minutes.”等句子,可明顯看出B是錯(cuò)誤的.

  這是一篇讀后讓人驚嘆不已的故事.象棋大師Watson在旅館時(shí)遇到了一個(gè)孩子.孩子的母親請(qǐng)求Watson與兒子下一盤(pán)棋.Watson很不情愿地答應(yīng)了.然而下棋過(guò)程中,那個(gè)孩子漫不經(jīng)心地,還不時(shí)地跑出去和姐姐打網(wǎng)球.讓W(xué)atson考慮之后再叫他.Watson后來(lái)處于僵局,最終也未能挽回.一個(gè)年僅十歲的孩子在二十八分鐘里就勝了他.他非常佩服.后來(lái),Watson用這個(gè)孩子的棋路獲得了一個(gè)銀杯.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.”這句話可以讓人體會(huì)到Watson的心情,發(fā)人深思.
