阅读下列短文,从所给的四个选项中,选出最佳答案。

 Chess (国际象棋)must be one of the oldest games in the world. An Arab(阿拉伯的)traveller in India in the year 900 wrote that it was played “long, long ago”. Chess was probably invented in India, and it has been played everywhere from Japan to Europe(欧洲)since 1400. The name “chess” is interestingWhen one player is attacking(袭击)the other's king, he says in English, “check”. When the king has been caught and cannot move anywhere, he says“check mate”. These words come from Persian(波斯语). It means “The king is dead”. That is when the game is over, and one player has won.

 Such an old game changes very slowly. The rules have not always been the same as they are now. For example, at one time the queen could only move one square(方格)at a time. Now she is the strongest piece on the board(棋盘). It would be interesting to know why this has happened! Chess takes time and thought, but it is a game for all kinds of people. You don't have to be a winner in order to enjoy it. It is not always played by two people sitting at the same table. The first time the Americans beat the Russians(俄国人)was in a match played by radioSome people are able to play many people at the same timeOne man played 400 games! It is said that some people play chess by postThis must make chess the slowest game in the world

  A plane can fly over the continental(大陆的)United States from the east coast(沿海)to the Pacific Ocean on the west in about five hours; it will take a little more than two days to travel by train from Los Angeles on the west to New York City on the east coast. That is about the time, or a little more than the time that you need to travel from Beijing to Guangdong.

  If you want to see the country, you can travel in a plane or by train. But, in fact, it is best to make a cross-the-country trip in a car. You can have a better look at the country that way.

  The continental United States is divided into four different time zones(areas). The Pacific Time Zone (on the west); the Mountain Time Zone, the Central Time Zone; the Eastern Time Zone. When it is 9:00 a.m. Pacific Standard Time in San Francisco, California, it is 10:00 a. m. Mountain Standard Time in Denver, Colorado; 11:00 a. m. Central Standard Time in Chicago, Illinois; 12:00 noon Eastern Standard Time in New York City. So New York City is three hours ahead of San Francisco and is thirteen hours behind Beijing Time, China, according to Greenwich Mean Time. (G. M. T. )

1.It is ________ to travel by car than by plane if you want to see more of the country.

[  ]

A.faster
B.easier
C.slower
D.better

2.The Pacific Ocean lies to the ________ of the United States.

[  ]

A.east
B.west
C.south
D.north

3.When we talk about how large China is, we often use“________”, and when they talk about how large the United States is, they often use“________”.

[  ]

A.from south to north; from west to east

B.from east to west; from south to north

C.south and north; west and east

D.east and west; south and north

4.Which of the following is true?

[  ]

A.A plane can fly over the continental United States from the east coast to the Pacific Ocean on the west in about four hours.

B.It will take a little more than three days to travel by train from Los Angeles on the west to New York City on the east coast.

C.That is about the time, or a little less than the time that you need to travel from Beijing to Guangdong.

D.It will take a little more than two days to travel by train from Los Angeles on the west to New York City on the east coast.
