四、完形填空(本题有15小题,每小题1分,共计15分)
Last summer, I found my grandfather playing chess in the park. His hands moved gently over the 36, and I stood beside 37, curious. "Want to learn?" he asked with a smile. I nodded quickly—how could I say no?
Grandpa was a 38 teacher. He didn't rush me. First, he showed me 39 chess pieces: kings, queens, rooks (车) and pawns (兵). He explained how each piece 40—the rook moves straight, the bishop (象) diagonally, and the queen can go 41 way. I listened carefully, but it felt like a lot to 42 at first.
Every weekend, we played together. At 43, I always lost. I'd frown (皱眉) when my pawns were captured, but Grandpa never laughed. Instead, he said, "Mistakes help us 44." Slowly, I started to plan my moves 45. I learned to protect my king and look for ways to 46 his pieces.
One day, Grandpa took me to a small chess competition. I felt 47 before my first game, but I remembered his words. When the game started, I focused 48 each move. Finally, I won! I ran to Grandpa, my heart 49 with joy. He patted my shoulder and said, "I'm proud of you."
Chess isn't just a game to me now. It teaches me patience and 50. Every time I play, I think of Grandpa's lessons—about chess, and about life. This hobby has brought us closer, and I know I'll keep playing it for years.

【分析】
