Question

This July, Wang Chen, a student from Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, won the International University WEICHI Tournament 2013 in Shanghai, which saw competitors from 54 universities around the world, including Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Compared with the busy sports ground, it seems a bit dull, but Wang and his peers enjoy an intense brain workout(勞動(dòng)). Wang is an amateur seventh-degree master player — the highest degree amateur players can attain. “I had hoped to win first place, but when it came true, I couldn’t believe it,” says Wang. Wang began studying weichi when he was 7 years old. “I was a quiet boy and my parents thought weichi would help develop my logical thinking ability,” he says. He began to attend the Chinese Rank Promotion from the age of 10. “I failed for nine years, and them I gave up. I entered university and became an amateur player,” says Wang.

What this hobby brings Wang is not only a sense of achievement, but also independence. He has won 10 national and international championships, which have brought the young student a handsome sum of money. When he won the national amateur competition in 2011, he received 100,000 yuan in prize money. With awards from contests, Wang covers his expenses and tuition fees all by himself.

Wang is busier than most of his peers. A look at his calendar shows that he will attend competitions in Guizhou and Taiwan at the end of August, after attending an international competition only this July. But Wang admits he has little in common with his classmates. “I feel a bit lonely sometimes,” he says.

On campus Wang spends more time on exploring his skills. Wang now regards playing weichi as a hobby. He is the captain of the weichi team on campus, which has five members. He organizes them to research the latest formations once a week. Wang says his next project is to promote weichi among his peers on campus. “Many young people in China don’t understand this kind of sports and I want to promote it,” says Wang.

【解析】

試題分析: 在2013世界大學(xué)生圍棋邀請(qǐng)賽上，來(lái)自上海財(cái)經(jīng)大學(xué)的業(yè)余愛(ài)好者王琛一舉奪冠。年紀(jì)輕輕的王琛先后在國(guó)內(nèi)外賽事中10次奪冠，已是一位橫掃國(guó)內(nèi)諸多賽事的高手了。在本文中作者介紹了這位“圍棋王子”的成名之路。

1. A 主旨大意題。本文是一篇新聞報(bào)道，開(kāi)頭簡(jiǎn)述了文章的中心，即王琛獲獎(jiǎng)的事情，然后在下文中詳細(xì)介紹了這位“圍棋王子”，由此判斷答案選A。

2.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段He has won 10 national and international championships,可知迄今為止他已經(jīng)在國(guó)內(nèi)外賽事中10次榮獲冠軍稱(chēng)號(hào)，選D。

3.D推理判斷題。從文章內(nèi)容可知圍棋是一種乏味的高強(qiáng)度的腦力勞動(dòng)，而且在王琛連續(xù)九年沖段失敗后，最終選擇了放棄。但是上大學(xué)后成了一名業(yè)余圍棋選手，最終經(jīng)過(guò)不懈的努力終于獲得了成功，由此判斷是毅力成就了他的夢(mèng)想，選D。
