21、An 8-year-old Nigerian, Tani Adewumis, whose family is homeless, won first place at the New York State chess championship without a single defeat at the beginning of 2019 and he says he is not done yet.

“I want to be the youngest grandmaster,” Tani told The New York Times. Tani placed first in the tournament for kindergarten through third grade — an outstanding win for anyone. “It’s unheard of for any kid, let alone one in a homeless shelter,” said Russell Makofsky, who is in charge of the chess program.

Tani hasn’t had an easy life. His family left northern Nigeria in 2017 fearing attacks on Christians, and moved to New York City over a year ago where the boy learned how to play chess at school. School chess coach Shawn Martinez saw Tani’s potential after observing him stand out in the game a few weeks after first learning it early last year. He reached out to Tani’s family about joining in the school’s chess program, and learned they were unable to pay costs associated with membership. Shawn decided to abandon Tani’s fees, which can easily reach thousands with travel and chess camp admissions.

Seven victories later, the elementary school boy is one of the top players in the country for his age group. “He works very hard at his game,” Martinez said, believing Tani could achieve master status in the next year or two. The world’s youngest grandmaster qualified at the age of 12.

As Tani’s story hits national headlines, more people want to help. Makofsky, who set up a GoFundMe for Tani, said the family has received offers for a car, legal services, jobs and even housing. “My hope is that he’ll be in a home tonight,” Makofsky said.

【1】How did Makofsky find Tani’s achievement?

A．Confusing.

B．Amazing.

C．Untrue.

D．Ridiculous.

【2】Shawn decided to abandon Tani’s fees because ________.

A．Makofsky told him to do so

D．Shawn took charge of the chess program

【3】What can we learn from Tani’s story?

A．All things are difficult before they are easy.

B．A good beginning makes a good ending.

C．A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

D．God helps those who help themselves.

【4】What’s the best title for the text?

A．A Homeless Nigerian Won the State Chess Championship

B．A Nigerian Family Hit National Headlines in the USA

C．An Organization Was Set Up to Support a Nigerian Child

D．An 8-year-old Became the Youngest Grandmaster in 2019

22、阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项.

Coffee has a history dating back to at least the 9th century and has been a catalyst for social interaction across cultures and eras. Originally discovered in Ethiopia, coffee beans were brought into the Middle East by Arab traders, spreading to Egypt, Yemen, Persia, Turkey, and North Africa by the 15th century. Muslim merchants eventually brought the beans to the thriving port city of Venice, where they sold them to wealthy Italian buyers. Soon, the Dutch began importing and growing coffee in places like Java and Ceylon (largely through slave labor), and the British East India Trading Company was popularizing the beverage in England. Coffee spread across Europe and even reached America.

Where there has been coffee, there has been the coffeehouse. From the 15th century Middle Eastern establishments where men gathered to listen to music, play chess, and hear recitations from works of literature, to Paris' Cafe le Procope where luminaries of the French Enlightenment such as Voltaire, Rousseau, and Diderot came to enjoy a hot cup of joe, coffeehouses have traditionally served as centers of social interaction, places where people can come to relax, chat, and exchange ideas.

The modern coffee shop is modeled on the espresso and pastry-centered Italian coffeehouses that arose with the establishment of Italian-American immigrant communities in major US cities. New York coffee shops were often frequented by the Beats in the 1950's. It wasn't long before Seattle and other parts of the Pacific Northwest were developing coffee shops as part of a thriving counterculture scene. The Seattle-based Starbucks took this model and brought it into mainstream culture.

Although coffeehouses today continue to serve their traditional purpose as lively social hubs in many communities, they have noticeably adapted to the times. Rediscovering their purpose as centers of information exchange and communication, many coffee shops now provide their customers with internet access and newspapers. It has become extremely common to see someone sitting at a Starbucks listening to music or surfing the web on his or her laptop.

Today, big business retail coffee shops are expanding quickly all over the world. Starbucks alone has stores in over 40 countries and plans to add more. Despite its popularity, Starbucks has been criticized and labeled by many as a blood-sucking corporate machine, driving smaller coffee shops out of business through unfair practices. This has even spawned an anti-corporate coffee counterculture, with those subscribing to this culture boycotting big business coffee chains. Increasingly popular coffee stores such as The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf are also giving Starbucks some stiff competition. In any case, it seems pretty clear that coffee has weaved itself into the fabric of our consumer-oriented culture.

【1】 Which of the following is the correct order of coffee spreading in history?

①Egypt     ②America   ③the Middle East

④Netherlands ⑤Venice

A. ①③④②⑤   B. ③①⑤④②

C. ①⑤④③② D. ③②⑤④①

【2】We can infer from the passage ________.

A. Starbucks has beaten all the competitors

B. there are no changes in the development of coffee culture

C. the taste of coffee has changed a lot

D. Starbucks has some effect on the development of coffee culture

【3】The famous coffeehouse “Starbucks” originally come from _______.

A. Seattle   B. Ethiopia

C. Java   D. France

【4】 Nowadays, if you come to a coffeehouse, you can _______.

A. play chess with other customers

B. enjoy delicious dishes from South America

C. surf the internet

D. watch a TV play

23、Dubai is the commercial capital of the oil-rich United Arab Emirates in the Persian Gulf. But officials want to turn it into the world’s “smartest” city. Earlier this year, Dubai announced plans to be the world’s first city to use self-driving taxis. In June, it placed the first robot police officer at shopping centers and places popular with visitors. Dubai police officials now say they plan to use self-driving vehicles to patrol (巡逻) city streets by the end of the year.

Dubai will be the first in the world to use the O-R3 vehicle, according to the Singapore company that builds it. The company, OTSAW Digital, recently signed an agreement with the Dubai Police force to supply the driverless robots.

The vehicles look a lot like most other automobiles, but are much smaller. They are equipped with cameras, machine learning tools and 3D technology to help them operate independently. The robots automatically charge themselves when power gets low.

The vehicle’s cameras can scan faces and record registration information to check for criminals and possible illegal activities. A police official said the robot can recognize people in any area. It will be used to “identify suspicious objects and follow suspects.” “We seek to increase operations with the help of technology such as robots,” said Dubai’s police chief. “We always search for the best technology to serve our police work for a safer and smarter city.”

The O-R3 can communicate with computers at police centers in different locations. The patrolling robot is able to send data and video to the centers, where operators can control the vehicle remotely. The vehicles can also work together with drones (无人机) that can be launched from the back of the robot. The drones can then follow the vehicles and provide more support from the air.

The CEO of OTSAW Digital, Ting Ming Ling, says the use of such vehicles is designed to help humans with their jobs, not replace them. “Eventually, robots exist to improve the quality of human lives, where men take on high value jobs while robots perform the low skilled ones,” he said.

【1】What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A．Learning tools.

B．O-R3 vehicles.

C．Common automobiles.

D．3D cameras.

【2】What’s the main purpose of using the OR3 vehicles for patrolling?

A．To take the place of the work of human beings.

B．To gather information of faces in the streets.

C．To help investigate criminal activities more effectively.

D．To keep an eye on people’s behaviors in the city.

【3】What does the drone do?

A．Gather more information for O-R3 vehicle.

B．Protect the vehicle from the sky.

C．Show directions for the vehicle.

D．Control the vehicle remotely.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．Police in Dubai Have the Most Advantaged Equipment

B．Dubai Will Put Self-Driving Police Vehicles on Streets

C．You Will Not See Police Officers in the Streets of Dubai

D．Robot Police Officers Are Much Smarter than Human Ones
