Let’s play Chinese chess
Last month, a new chess game called Chinese chess came out in Apple’s App Store. This old Chinese game is available (可利用的) for iPhone and iPod Touch users. People can play Chinese chess against a friend or a computer with different levels.
As part of Chinese culture, Chinese chess is popular both in China and abroad. Many overseas Chinese play the game as a way of entertainment (娱乐) and developing (弘扬) Chinese culture.
Chinese chess is a two-player board game with a total of 32 pieces in red and black. Among all these pieces, King is the most important. It must remain in the palace. If it gets checked (被“将死”), the game is over. So the object (目的) of the game is to check the other’s King while protecting one’s own King.
Chinese chess has a long history in China. There are many sayings about its origin. Some believe that Chinese chess appeared during the Warring States Period (战国时期). Others believe that Emperor Shun (舜帝) invented the game to educate his younger brother Xiang. That might be why the game’s Chinese name is xiangqi.
Today some foreigners enjoy playing Chinese chess. In their eyes, Chinese chess can help them better communicate with Chinese people and learn Chinese culture. More and more foreigners take part in the World Chinese Chess Championship every two years.
( )26．Chinese chess is________.
A．a part of foreign culture B．a part of Chinese culture
C．a new game in China D．not available for iPhone
( )27．Many overseas Chinese play Chinese chess for________.
A. competition and status B. developing skills and fighting
C. entertainment and developing Chinese culture D. entertainment and developing skills
( )28．Chinese chess has ________ pieces in total.
A．2 B．16 C．32 D．64
( )29．The underlined word “origin” means ________.
A．前景 B．简介 C．发展 D．起源
( )30．What’s the passage mainly about
A．Introduction to Chinese Chess. B．The history of Chinese Chess.
C．Chinese Chess in Apple’s App Store. D．How to play Chinese Chess.
C
Shirley, an elephant, has something to say. She opens her mouth and speaks. The nearby elephants understand the sound, but it is just noise to me.
What is Shirley exactly saying Scientists are not sure, but they are trying to find out how elephants communicate. I visited Shirley at the Elephant Sanctuary (避难所) in Hohenwald, Tennessee. The sanctuary is home of Shirley and five other elephants —Bunny, Jenny, Sissy, Tarra and Winkie. All six animals were once in zoos or circuses (马戏团). Now they walk freely in the forests.
A noisy group
Not all the elephants speak like Shirley. Tarra speaks like a sea lion when she is happy. Bunny squeaks (吱吱叫) often. I soon get used to hearing the different voices of the elephants. When one gray giant comes close to me, I know which elephant it is.
Elephants also communicate in a way that people can’t hear. Scientists believe that elephant’s sound can travel for miles. Elephants in a group use it to keep in touch when they are alone.
Old friends
The elephants speak to one another for the same reasons people talk. Sometimes they even shout with excitement. When Shirley first came to the sanctuary, Jenny looked at her and began to shout. Shirley shouted back. At first, the animal keepers had no idea what it was about. Later, they discovered that Shirley and Jenny had stayed together for 20 years earlier in a circus. They still knew each other.

There are two kinds of elephants—Asian elephants and African elephants. In the wild, both kinds are endangered. In 1970, almost 2 million Asian elephants lived in the wild in Southeast Asia. Now there are only 25, 600 to 32, 750 elephants living there. Their home is being gradually destroyed. As the population grows, humans are building on more of the land. In Africa, many wild elephants lived there 20 years ago. But today, only half of them still live there.
( )31．What does the writer mainly describe in the first half of the passage
A．Different sounds made by elephants. B．What it is like to be an elephant.
C．Ways to save the elephants’ home. D．How to plan a visit to an elephant’s home.
( )32．Which of the following can be put back into the blank “________”
A．The wild elephants. B．African elephants.
C．Asian elephants. D．Elephants in danger.
( )33．If there were 2 thousand wild elephants living in Africa 20 years ago, how many of them are still there now
A．25, 600. B．32, 750. C．1, 000. D．10, 000.
( )34．What can we infer from the passage
A．Elephants also communicate with people.
B．Elephant’s sound can travel to a faraway place.
C．Some elephants like to make noise.
D．Many elephants live alone.
( )35．The passage is most probably from ________.
A．a story book B．a travel guide
