单选题I"m told that during an international game of chess (国际象棋), many beautiful moves could bc made on a chessboard. In a decisive 1 in which he was evenly matched with a Russian master 2 , Marshall found his queen under serious attack. There were several ways of 3 , and since the queen is the most 4 piece, spectators (观众) thought Marshall would naturally move his queen to 5 . Deep in thought, Marshall used all his time to consider the 6 . He picked up his queen, paused, and placed it down on the most 7 square of all—a square from which the queen could be 8 by any one of three enemy pieces. Marshall had sacrificed (牺牲) his queen—an unthinkable move. Everyone else was 9 . Then the Russian, and the 10 , realized that Marshall had actually made a 11 move. It was clear that no matter how the 12 was taken, the Russian would soon be in a 13 position. Seeing this, the Russian admitted his defeat. When spectators recovered from the 14 of Marshall"s daring, they showered the chessboard with money. Marshall had achieved 15 in a very unusual and daring fashion—he had 16 by sacrificing the queen. To me, it"s not 17 that he won. What counts is that Marshall had broken with standard 18 to make such a move. He had looked 19 the usual patterns of play and had been willing to consider an imaginative risk on the basis of his judgment and his judgment alone. No matter how the game 20 , Marshall was the winner.

单选题"Go for it!" The expression "Go for it! "is a way of encouraging someone to try something. "Go for it! "means you should not worry about failure or be too careful. You should take a chance, be brave, and act firmly. "Go for it! "gets its name from football. Not football as it is played in most countries such as England, Egypt or Japan, but the kind of football played in the United States and Canada. One of the most exciting times in football comes when a team has failed, after three attempts, to move the ball forward ten yards. The team must make a critical decision. The conservative (保守) choice is to kick the ball and accept temporary defeat in order to gain a good position for your team the next time it gets the ball. The more exciting choice, however, is to try a fourth and final time to gain the remaining yards needed. People present are certain to shout their advice. Some will shout: "Kick the ball! "But others will encourage the team to take a chance. "Go for it! "they will scream. In the 1980s, people began using this expression in many kinds of situations to encourage someone to act bravely. There is no guarantee (保证) that the action you"go for it" will succeed. But that is the chance you take when you decide to go for it. You put your fears behind. You choose courage over safety. You hold your breath and go for it.

单选题Ever since news of widespread food recalls caused by a carcinogenic dye broke, there has been confusion over possible links to the country of the same name, but Sudan officials say there is no connection whatever. Sudan 1 is a red industrial dye that has been found in some chilli powder, but was banned in food products across the European Union (EU) in July 2003. Since the ban was put in place, EU officials have been striving to remove some food products from the shelves. So far 580 products have been recalled. Last week Sudan"s Embassy in the United Kingdom asked the Food Standards Agency (FSA) for clarification of the origin of the dye"s name. Omaima Mahmoud A1 Sharief, a press official at Sudan"s Embassy in China, explained the purpose of the inquiry was to clear up any misunderstanding over links between the country and the poisonous dye. "We want to keep an eye on every detail and avoid any misunderstanding there," she said. "Our embassy to Britain asked them how the dye got that name and whether the dye had something to do with our country. But they told us there was no relationship." The FSA, an independent food-security watchdog in Britain, received a letter from the Sudan"s Embassy last week. "They asked us why the dye is named Sudan, however, we also do not know how it got the name," she said. "People found the dye in 1883 and gave it the name. Nobody knows the reason, and we cannot give any explanation before we find out." Sudan dyes, which include Sudan 1 to 4, are red dyes used for coloring solvents, oils, waxes, petrol, and shoe and floor polishes. They are classified as carcinogens by the International Agency for Research on Cancer.
