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 playchess 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.24.How did Makofsky find Tani’s achievement?A.Confusing.B.

A study earlier this year found that about thirty Amur leopards (豹) still live free. The cats are also called Far Eastern leopards.Recently, their number has been reduced by one, some person shot a female Amur, then beat her to death. The animal's body was discovered last month in the Barsovy National Wildlife Refuge in eastern Russia.An official of the World Wildlife Fund, Darron, said this was the third such killing in the area in the past five years. Mr. Collins said the deathof even one adult female is a huge loss for the endangered cat. He notedthat the killing reduces the possibility for cubs (幼兽) or young. It is not clear how many Amur leopards still live free. One population count was performed inFebruary and March. Wildlife expert Dmitry Pikuuov led this study. It found evidence of seven to nine males. The study identified three to seven females without cubs; four leopards were identified as females with cubs. In all, five or six cubs were recorded; six to eight animals could not be identified.Most of the land where the Amur leopard once lived was in China. Newroads and climate change there threatened the animals. So did hunters who kill big cats for their body parts.Mr. Pikuuov says adult Amurs need about five hundred square kilometers with good forests to survive. He said they also need a large and continuing supply of animals like deer for food. He believes the answer to saving the Amur leopard is for governments to provide protected spaces for wildlife.28.This passage is probably from .A.a magazineB. a newspaper reportC. a filmD. a TV report29.Why is the killing of an adult female a huge loss?A.It means it cannot give birth to the young any more.B.It could lead to the death of an adult male.C.It is worth more money than a male.D.There is only one adult female in the world.30.The number of the Amur leopards in China is becoming smaller because ofall the following EXCEPT .A.new roadsB. rare diseasesC. human huntingD. climate change31.According to the experts the Amur leopards .A.are living on plantsB. are endangeredC. are well protected by peopleD. are living in the zooDIt’s normal for teens to want to stay connected with friends and social circle, but what about that happening in the middle of the night? The Journal of Youth Studies recently published a new research showing that one in five teens from 12 to 15 regularly wake to spend all night on social media (社会媒体). Not surprisingly, the research also showed that these social night owlswere three times more likely than others to feel tired at school and that girls were more likelythan boys to be called to office.The blue light produced by cell phones and computers makes the brain to stay awake, so it’s easy to see why a teen might be up all night. A study in Psychological Science showed the same brain reaction: when teens saw large numbers of “likes” on their posts, they stayed awake with excitement as if they had eaten chocolates or won money. Besides not catching up on sleep andinterrupting their sleep cycle, teens may never fully enter deep sleep that may be responsible for brain development and learning.Considering about 72 percent of children from 6 to 17 sleep with some electronic media in their bedrooms, parents need to set rules sooner rather than later.“Providing access (使用机会) to social media is a favor that children can earn and also lose,”Janie Feldman, an expert who treats sleep disorders (紊乱), reminds parents, “The bad effect is clear. So teens and parents should discuss and agree on its use, timing and access. When teenagers agree to the rules, it’s easier for parents to control how much time they spend on the phones or computers.”32.What does the underlined part “night owls” in paragraph 1 refer to?A.Girls often called to office.B.Teens who stay up late on social media.C.Teens who are busy with their homework at night.D.Boys regularly waking in the middle of the night.33.How do teens react when seeing many “likes” on their posts according tothe study?A.They fall asleep easily and happily.B.They are too excited to go to eat chocolates.C.They are too excited to go to sleep.D.They decide to make more good friends.34.What suggestion does Janie Feldman give to parents?A.Stopping their children from using cell phones.B.Getting their children to do homework through computers.C.Encouraging their children to stay connected with online friends.D.Making regulations about media access together with their children.35.What is the main idea of the text?A.Social media may have a bad effect on teens.B.Kids are trying to win back the trust of their parents.C.Social media may cause teens’ sleep disorders.D.Deep sleep makes a big difference to brain development.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
