While the achievement is remarkable in itself, what is even more so is that the youngster, who was homeless at the time, began learning the game less than a year ago.‎ Tani and his family arrived in New York City from Nigeria in 2017, seeking religious protection. A church pastor(牧师)helped find the family of four space in a homeless shelter in Manhattan and, soon after, Tani entered the local elementary school. It was here that the young talent was first introduced to the basics of chess by a part-time teacher. Attracted by the game, the then seven-year-old begged his mother, Oluwatoyin, to allow him to join the school’s chess club. The family were concerned that they would be unable to afford the fees and expenses, which add up to thousands of dollars due to travel and chess competition admissions, Oluwatoyin emailed chess instructor Russell Makofsky, who ran the club. To her surprise and delight, Makofsky agreed to waive all costs for young Tani. The rest, as they say, is history. The young boy, who has got seven prizes in less than a year, currently ranks ‎27 in America in his age group.‎ Though the chess club certainly helps, Tani’s success can be largely owed to the efforts he has put into the game. The chess talent practices the game for several hours a day either on the floor with his board, or online, using his dad’s laptop. Every Saturday, Tani and his mother head to Harlem for a free 3-hour class to help further sharpen his game skills.‎ Not surprisingly, Tani’s incredible story, first reported by The New York Times, has resulted in an outpouring of support from the American public. Shortly after the young boy won the New York State Championship, Makofsky began a GoFundMe campaign for Tani and his family to “secure a home where he can continue on his journey”.‎ And the heartwarming story gets even better! Since they now have a home, the family have decided to “pay it forward” and donate the over $200,000 collected on GoFundMe to African immigrants in America who are struggling the way the family was.‎ ‎24. What made Tani’s achievement especially remarkable?‎ ‎ A. His young age B. His quick learning ‎ ‎ C. Support from his family D. Help from his teacher ‎25. What does the underlined part “to waive all costs for young Tani” in Paragraph 2 mean?‎ ‎ A. To pay for Tani’s schooling. B. To raise money for Tani’s family.‎ ‎ C. To teach Tani free of charge. D. To spend more on Tani’s training.‎ ‎26. What’s paragraph 3 mainly about?‎ ‎ A. Success of Tani. B. Activities of the chess club.‎ ‎ C. Tani’s devotion to the game. D. Public reaction to Tani’s story. ‎ ‎27. What does the last paragraph tell us about the family?‎ ‎ A. They are caring. B. They live in poverty.‎ ‎ C. They are honest. D. They are pitiful.‎ C One of India’s top engineering schools has restricted Internet access in its boarding houses, saying addiction to surfing, gaming and blogging was affecting students’ performance, making them lonely and even suicidal.‎ Authorities at the best Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Mumbai said students had stopped socializing and many were late for morning classes or slept through them. “Now, a student doesn’t even know who lives two doors away from him because he is so busy on the Internet,” said Prakash Gopalan, dean of Student Affairs. “The old dormitory culture of companionship and socializing among students is gone. This is not healthy in our opinion.”‎ IIT-Mumbai, with about 5,000 students, is one of the seven IITs across India which are considered to be among the finest engineering schools in the world. They are also a talent pool for global technology giants. But their hard courses, tough competition and lonely campus lifestyle have taken an effect on students. Depressive and dysfunctional lifestyles are known to be common among IIT students, and at least nine have committed suicide in the past five years. Students have unlimited free Internet access in their boarding houses to help them in their studies, but many also use it to surf, chat, download movies and music, blog and for gaming.‎ ‎“Starting Monday, Internet access will be banned between 11 p.m. and 12:30 p.m. at IIT-Mumbai’s 13 boarding buildings to encourage students to sleep early and to try and force them out of their shells.” Gopalan said. But the move has not gone down well with students who say they hate their lives being regulated. “Now they will say we need to listen to a lullaby (摇篮曲) to go to sleep.” said Rajiv, an electronics student.‎ ‎28. What may happen to the students addicted to the Internet in IIT-Mumbai?‎ A. Feel lonely and even suicidal. B. Perform well in studies. ‎ C. Know their classmates better. D. Participate in social activities.‎ ‎29. What does the underlined word “dysfunctional” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?‎ A. unpopular B. meaningful C. abnormal D. exciting ‎30. What measures have been taken in IIT-Mumbai?‎ A. Students must go to bed before 11 p.m.‎ B. Students are forbidden to surf the Internet on campus.‎ C. Students have unlimited free Internet access in their dormitories.‎ D. Internet access is unavailable in deep night in boarding buildings.‎ ‎31. What can we infer from the last paragraph?‎ A. All electronics students hate the banning order.‎ B. Some students complain about the banning order.‎ C. There is no Internet access on the IIT campus ever since.‎ D. More students prefer listening to music to surfing the Internet. ‎ D Three computer scientists known as the "godfathers of Al" have won this year's Turing Award for their work on machines that are able to learn in similar way to the human brain. ‎ Yoshua Bengio, Geoffrey Hinton and Yann LeCun will share this year's award，which is given annually by the Association for Computing Machinery and comes with a $1 million prize funded by ‎ Google. ‎ Although they have known each other for more than 30 years, Bengio, Hinton and LeCun have mostly worked separately on technology known as neural(神经的)networks. ‎ ‎“For a long time, people thought what the three of us were doing was nonsense ,” Hinton said in an interview with The Associated Press. "They thought we were very misguided and what we were doing was a very surprising thing for apparently intelligent people to waste their time on. My message to young researchers is, don't be put off if everyone tells you what are doing is silly. ”Now，some people are worried that the results of the researchers' efforts might be out of control. ‎ While the AI revolution is raising hopes that computers will make most people's lives more convenient and enjoyable, it's also causing fears that humanity eventually will be living at the mercy of machines. ‎ Bengio, Hinton and LeCun share some of those concerns-especially the doomsday(世界末日)scenarios(情景)that describe AI technology developed into weapons systems that wipe out humanity. ‎ But they are far more optimistic about the other prospects(前景)of Al-enabling computers to deliver more accurate warnings about floods and earthquakes， for instance, or detecting health risks, such as cancer and heart attacks, far earlier than human doctors. ‎ ‎“One thing is very clear, the techniques that we developed can be used for a large amount of good affecting hundreds of millions of people,” Hinton said. ‎ ‎32. What can we learn about the Turing Award?‎ A. It has a $ 1 million prize which is funded by Google. ‎ B. It is given for the winners' work on computers this year. ‎ C. It is only given to people known as the "godfathers of AI". ‎ D. The three winners of it have worked together for over 30 years. ‎ ‎33. Why did people think what the three were doing was nonsense?‎ A. AI is really causing fears at present. ‎ B. The doomsday scenarios is so frightening. ‎ C. They thought they might be out of control. ‎ D. They thought the three were very misguided. ‎ ‎34. What can we say about AI?‎ A. It is hopeful to make most people's lives more convenient and enjoyable. ‎ B. It is causing humanity to live in the charge of machine. ‎ C. It will be able to prevent floods and earthquakes. ‎ D. It will have the ability to cure cancers and heart attacks. ‎ ‎35. What's the author's attitude towards the award-winners' work?‎ A. Uncaring. B. Concerned. C. Objective. D. Subjective. ‎ 第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分, 满分10分）‎ 根据黑布林文本阅读，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。‎ ‎36. What impression of Gatsby is Mr. Wolfsheim trying to give Nick?‎ A. Dangerous and should never be trusted ‎ B.

Everyone has 24 hours in each day. ‎ M: Is it because they can arrange their time to fit a new task?‎ W: Very good answer. Some people are natural organisers, but most of us, however, have to plan our time carefully in order to finish everything. Most of you have housework to do at home and most of you probably put them off until a time you want to do them. However, if you did them immediately, they would be finished and you wouldn’t have to think about them. ‎ M: But how can we organise our time?‎ W: Well, let’s see. First, you could make a list of your tasks — including everything you want to do, even the fun things. Then on a paper, write down the time you set aside for sleeping and connect the remaining hours with the tasks you listed first. Please do this for the next class and we will compare how different people manage their own 24 hours per day.‎ 听下面一段独白，回答第17至第20四个小题。现在，你有20秒钟的时间阅读这四个小题。‎ ‎(Text 10)‎ W: The market for food products in the United States today is so large and various that suppliers must do a lot of research on customer likes and dislikes before they place a new product on the ‎ market. To do this, they often interview shoppers in supermarkets and give them small samples of a new product to try. This gives them a good idea of what people will find interesting. The next step is to select a test market. If the sales during this test period are attractive, they will expand the test area and continue checking for customer satisfaction. Not every new product is successful and sometimes it has to be changed. This is a very expensive process but by keeping the test areas relatively small, the investment can be absorbed. Deciding what preferences the public has is not an easy task and requires specially trained people to carry out the testing and interview. Only after many people have stated they like a product is it then produced and distributed to a wider market.‎ Sometime in the future you will be offered a sample of some new product when you visit a supermarket. You will probably be part of a test to see if that product is worth producing on a mass scale or not. Your opinion as to whether you like it a lot, a little or not at all will be very important.‎
