To write six hundred and three, people wrote 6 3. The space was there to mean “not any” tens. Sometimes people did not remember the space. It was hard to see and to read. Later people used a dot(点) to hold the space. Six hundred and three looked like this 6·3. But the dot was hard to see.So people put a circle around it like this 63. Then people could see the dot. They remembered the space. At last,only the circle around the dot was used.It was like a zero. This is one story of how the zero came to be used. Now zero has many important uses. Zero tells how many. Can you tell some other ways zero is used?根据以上内容,判断下列各句是否符合短文内容。符合内容的写“T”,不符合的写“F”。56. At first, zero was not used by people. ( ) 57.The space between 6 and 3 was easy to see and to read. ( ) 58. When people wrote eight hundred and nine, they would put a circle with a dot in it between 8 and 9. ( ) 59.Zero came from the circle around the dot. ( ) 60.Zero isnt useful in our life. ( )( B ) Watson won his most important game and became Southern Chess Master (南部象棋大师) in 1977. He was given the silver (银) cup. “It isnt rightly mine,”he said, when he was holding the cup.“It was won two years ago when I was on holiday. “A family was staying at my hotel (旅馆) at that time. Mrs Prag, the mother, was told that I played chess; and she begged me to give her young son a game. Hes only ten.she said, Ive been told that he plays quite well. “Well,as you can guess, I wasnt too happy. A player likes the opponent (对手) to play as well as he does. But it was holiday time and I agreed to play. We placed the board (棋盘) in the garden. The game began. I hoped it would be quickand so it was. “I soon knew that David Prag was no learner. After ten minutes his sister came outside and began to play tennis against a wall.The boy seemed to lose interest in our game. He moved a piece (棋子) without care. I gave my attention to the board. “Call me when you are ready, Mr Watson,”he said. “When I was ready?I looked up.He had gone off to play with his sister.I studied the boardand found I was driven into corner.So it went on with David: a quick move, then tennis, back to the board,then back to his sister. My difficult condition became impossible to change. I was beaten,oh so easily,by a ten-year-old chess player.He was the winner in twenty-eight minutes. “David Prag: a name to remember. I had a chance to use his game today, and it won this cup for me. To him, of course, it is only one of a hundred, or perhaps a thousand, winning games.” 根据以上短内容,选择最佳选项。 61.
