Section B

Directions:

Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several

questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A,

B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the

passage you have just read.

(A)

It?s fight night in Berlin club. The lights go down, the door opens and out walks a

salesman

from

San

Francisco.

David

“Double

D”

Depto

has

travelled

8,000

kilometres in search of glory. As he first walks, then jogs, towards the boxing ring, the

muscular, bare-chested American looks cool and confident. But so does his opponent.

Waiting for him in the blue corner is Frank Stoldt, a tall, strong German policeman,

who calls hi

mself “Anti

-

Terror Frank”. For obvious reasons, the crowd is on his side.

The

bell

rings.

Round

one!

The

fighters

come

out.

But

then,

something

rather

strange happens. The two players sit down at a table which has a chessboard on it and

start playing chess

–

in the middle of the boxing ring.

“Why?” you may ask yourself. Well, this is chessboxing, and tonight is the final

of the first chessboxing World Championship.

The

rules

of

a

chessboxing

match

are

simple.

There

is

one

round

of

chess

and

then one round of boxing. Punching power alternates with brain power. All in all, you

have 11 rounds in which to checkmate your opponent

–

or knock him out.

Two sports in one means double the pain, and double the pressure. Before this big

fight, Frank spent hours doing exercises that prepared his mind as well as his muscles.

Winners

in

chessboxing

are

people

whose

mental

strength

equals

their

physical

strength.

But

why

do

it

in

the

first

place?

Why

put

yourself

through

this

physical

and

mental torture? For David Depto

, it?s all about proving that you can be a boxer and

still have a brain. The sport has taken off in Germany, where they are preparing the

next generation of chessboxing champions. It?s even being taught in a Berlin school.

Back in the ring, it is round seven and the players are locked in battle around the

chessboard,

sweat

pouring

from

their

foreheads.

Suddenly,

Frank

Stoldt

sees

an

opening and moves in to finish the match. Queen to G7… checkmate!

The referee stops the match, the crowd

erupts

–

the local

hero has won and is

given

the

world

title

belt,

which

proves

that,

when

it

comes

to

mixing

brains

and

muscle, Germany really is the Grand Master.

66.

Why is it “obvious” that the crowd wants Frank Stoldt to win?

A. He is a policeman.

C. He is a host player.

B. He has powerful muscle.

D. He fights against terrorism.

67.

What?s the way in which a match can finish?

A. Either checkmate the opponent or knock him out.

B. One of the players gives up or is sent to hospital.

C. The referee counts down eight to zero in the round of chess.

D. The player finds the opening into the court which is locked.

A. Compared with boxing, it means half danger and half stress.

B. It requires more mental strength than physical strength.

C. The sport is popular in Germany, where it is a school subject.

D. The players play chess in the middle of the boxing ring.

______.

A. leave the stadium

B. burst into cheers

68.

What?s TRUE about chessboxing?

69.

The

underlined

word

“erupt”

in

the

last

paragraph

is

closest

in

meaning

to
