While experts have different opinions as to who created Xiangqi and how it is linked to Western chess, there is no doubt that by the Tang Dynasty Xiangqi was a popular game in China. 2 And in the 20th century both Sun Yat-sen and Zhou Enlai were big fans of the game. And, though it may look quite a bit different from Western chess, Xiangqi is actually quite similar in what the pieces can do and how the game is played.

Another big difference between Western chess and Xiangqi is that there is a large empty space in the middle of the board, which the elephants cannot cross. 4 This space refers to an area in China where Liu Bang and Xiang Yu had a life-or-death war. The war was so influential that “the Chu River and the Han Boundary” has become a metaphor (隐喻) referring to any boundary between two opposing armies.

(象棋的历史可以追溯到战国。) ”可知，空后介绍象棋可以追溯到战国时代，故此空应该指出这个游戏是象棋，故B项“这个游戏叫象棋，一个普通人的游戏。”符合，故选B。 2．根据空前“Xiangqi dates back as early as the Warring States period. While experts have different opinions as to who created Xiangqi and how it is linked to Western chess, there is no doubt that by the Tang Dynasty Xiangqi was a popular game in China.(象棋的历史可以追溯到战国。虽然专家们对象棋的创造者以及它与西洋象棋的联系有不同的看法，但毫无疑问，到了唐代，象棋在中国已经成为一种流行的游戏。) ”可知，空前介绍象棋在中国历史悠久，很受欢迎。这里是按时间顺序：战国时期—唐朝，所以空处应该按照时间讲唐朝之后的一个时期，象棋的发展情形。故D项“在清朝时期，它的知名度增加了。”符合时间逻辑关系。故选D。 3．根据空前“Like Western chess, the object of the game is to capture the other player’s “king”.(和西洋象棋一样，这个游戏的目的是捕捉对手的“国王”。)”可知，空间提到了同西洋象棋一样，游戏目的是为了捕捉对手的“国王”推，故空处应该讲述中国象棋中的“王”是什么，故G项“其实在象棋里他只是个将军。”符合题意。故选G。 4．根据空前“Unlike Western chess, instead of placing the pieces in squares, the pieces are placed on the intersections of lines.

When the Chinese people today see this name on the board, the battle scenes come to their mind, as though they are surrounded by thick smoke, able to hear the beating of war drums.(这场战争的影响力是如此之大，以至于“楚汉边界”已经成为一个隐喻，指的是两个敌对军队之间的任何边界。当今天的中国人看到这个名字在黑板上，战斗的画面浮现在他们的脑海中，仿佛被浓烟包围，能够听到战鼓的敲击声。) ”可知，空前提到楚河汉界是一种隐喻，因此下象棋时棋盘也是个战场，人们看到这个名字就好像沉浸在硝烟四起、战鼓喧天的战争场面。故C项“一场激烈的战斗即将在这个小棋盘上进行。”符合逻辑。故选C。 （24-25高一上·黑龙江大庆·阶段练习）Respect, comfort, and joy are some of the feelings we feel when we are together with friends who often keep us company. 1 Whether you are finding ways to show a friend your loyalty (忠诚) or are simply curious about common symbols of friendship around the world, you might be interested in reading on.

This is the day when mathematicians and geometry (几何学) lovers around the world get together and celebrate the mathematical constant (常数) of Pi. 1 Firstly, the date which can be represented numerically in the format 3.14 represents the first 3 digits of π. Besides, one of our greatest physicists Albert Einstein was born on March 14,1897. In 2018, the famous physicist Stephen Hawking passed away on Pi Day. The earliest known celebration of Pi Day was organized by the physicist Larry Shaw at the San Francisco Exploratorium in 1988, featuring eating different kinds of fruit pies. 2 The museum staff marched around a circular room, sang songs, and ate pie. News stories about the celebration spread the idea to schools, museums, and communities. In 2009, US House of Representatives officially named this special day — “Pi Day”. Many people celebrate Pi Day with family and friends. 3 People make pizzas (round ones, of course) and bake cream pies. Some people even use a special pie pan shaped like the Greek letter π. They are also willing to drink pi-neapple juice. 4 Over thousands of years, people tried to unfold the puzzle behind this magic number. Before the appearance of modern computing technologies, mathematicians all over the world have made their efforts on calculating the approximation of Pi. 5 While Indian mathematician Aryabhata approximated Pi to √￣9.8624 using the circumference of a polygon (多边形) with 384 sides. On 2019’s Pi Day, Google announced that the calculation of Pi has already reached 31.4 trillion decimal (小数的) places. A．The most popular way is by eating pi-themed foods.
