In the first place, I'll be so happy if you could accept my apology.①It's of great importance for me to make full preparations for the final exam last week. ②Therefore, I couldn't spare enough time to write you back in time. What's more, I am willing to tell you that I am to do some parttime jobs in the summer holiday. No one can deny the fact that we can have our vision broadened in the process. Last but not least, it must be pointed out that I would love to go travelling during this holiday.

Ⅳ.阅读理解
This July, Wang Chen, a student from Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, won the International University WEICHI Tournament 2017 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 (劳动). Wang is an amateur seventhdegree 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 then 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.

A．The Achievement and Dream of the “Weichi Prince”
B．Wang Chen Won the International University WEICHI Tournament 2017
C．Weichi Brings Wang a Sense of Achievement and Independence
D．Wang Chen's Life

A．54 countries attended the International University WEICHI Tournament 2017 in Shanghai.

D．Wang Chen has won 10 national and international championships nowadays.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第一段可知是来自世界54所大学的选手参加了比赛，故A项错误；根据第二段可知B项错误；根据第三段可知C项错误；根据第三段可知本题选D。
3．The underlined word “handsome” in Paragraph 3 most probably means “________”．
A．goodlooking
B．considerable
C．generous
D．beautiful
解析：选B 词义猜测题。画线单词所在句子的意思是“他先后在国内、外赛事中10次夺冠，对于一名青年学生来说，奖金收入十分可观”。considerable“相当多的，可观的”，符合语境。
