While the achievement is remarkable in itself，what makes it 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 protection. An organization helped find the family four spaces in a homeless shelter 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.Concerned the family would be unable to afford the fees and expenses，which add up to thousands of dollars，Oluwatoyin emailed Russel 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 27th in America in his age category.‎ Though the chess club certainly helps, it is Tani's devotion to the game that is largely responsible for his great success. Not surprisingly, Tani's incredible story，first reported by The New York Times，has resulted in an outpouring of support from the American public. It has raised $200，000 in just ten days ，far more than the original goal of $50 ，000 ，and the funds keep coming.‎ Since they now have a home，the Adewumis have decided to "pay it forward" and donate the over $200,000 collected on GoFundMe. They plan to give 10 percent of the funds raised to the oraganization that has supported them. The rest will be placed in the newly-created Tanitoluwa Adewumi Trust and given to African immigrants to America who are struggling the way the family was.‎ ‎4. What made Tani's achievement especially remarkable?‎ A. His quick learning. B. His young age.‎ C. Support from his family. D. Help from his teacher.‎ ‎5.What does the underlined part "to waive all costs for young Tani" in Paragraph 2 mean?‎ A.To teach Tani free of charge B. To raise money for Tani's family.‎ C. To pay for Tani's schooling. D.To spend more on Tani's training.‎ ‎6.What's Paragraph 3 mainly about?‎ A.Reports of the media. B. Activities of the chess club.‎ C. Tani's devotion to the game. D. Public reaction to Tani's story.‎ ‎7.What does the last paragraph tell us about the family?‎ A.They are poor B. They are kind. C. They are honest. D. They are pitiful .‎ C A child who suffers bullying(霸凌) usually has low self-esteem and their ability to learn and be successful at school is greatly lessened. Therefore, bullying must be stopped.‎ The best and most obvious way to stop bullying in schools is for parents to change the way they raise their children at home. Of course, this is much easier said than done and everyone raises their children differently. Bullies, however, come from homes where physical punishment is used and children have been taught that physical violence is the way to handle problems and “get their way”. Bullies usually also come from homes where the parents fight a lot, so children have been modeled on such violence. Parental involvement is often lacking in bullies’ lives and there seems to be little warmth.‎ Early intervention (干预) is truly the best way to stop bullying, but parents of the victims or therapists(治疗师) can’t alter the bully’s home environment. Some things can be done at the school level, however. Most school programs that address bullying apply a multi-faceted(多层面的) method to the problem.‎ Hand out questionnaires to all students and teachers and discuss if bullying is occurring. Define exactly what constitutes(构成) bullying at school. The questionnaire is a wonderful tool that allows the school to see how widespread bullying is and what forms it is taking. It is a good way to start to solve the problem.‎ Get the children’s parents involved in a bullying program. If parents of the bullies and the victims are not aware of what is going on at school, then the whole bullying program will not be effective. Stopping bullying in school takes teamwork and concentrated effort on everyone’s part. Bullying also should be discussed during parent-teacher conferences and PTA meetings. Parental awareness is the key.‎ In the classroom setting, all teachers should work with the students on bullying. Oftentimes even the teacher is being bullied in the classroom and a program should be set up to teach about bullying. Children understand modeling behaviors and role-play and acting out bullying situations is a very effective tool. Have students role-play a bullying situation.‎ ‎8．In the author’s opinion, bullies usually _____________.‎ A．have extremely high self-esteem B．know little of the harm of violence C．look forward to parental involvement D．experience or witness violence at home ‎9．What does the underlined word “alter” in paragraph 3 mean?‎ A．understand B．change C．remove D．approach ‎10．Paragraph 5 suggests that it’s important to ______________.‎ A．make a punishment program effective B．let parents know their children are bullies C．find the key to improving security at school D．make parents conscious of bullying at school ‎11．What is the passage mainly about?‎ A．How to stop bullying in school. B．What leads to violence in schools.‎ C．What parents can do to stop bullying. D．How to comfort those who are bullied.‎ D Those concerned that robots are taking over the world can rest easy-for now. Though the androids have proved useful at performing ordinary tasks， they are not ready for prime time. At least that appears to be the case at Japan's cutting-edge Henn-na Hotel chain where over half of the robot staff is being replaced by humans.‎ The first Henn-na Hotel opened in July 2015,where guests were greeted and checked-in by either a family-friendly English-speaking dinosaur robot or a Japanese-speaking humanoid. Autonomous robots stood ready to help guests carry luggage to their rooms，while a cute doll-shaped android called Churi，placed inside each room，provided them with information about nearby attractions. Even the hotel's garbage cans were robotic.‎ Not surprisingly， the lodging， , recognized in 2016 as the world's first robot-staffed hotel by Guinness World Records， drew in curious visitors from all around the world.‎ But as the years have passed， the hotel's main draw-its employees-are becoming less of a novelty( 新颖) and more of a bother. Also as the robots are "aging" ，they are costing more to repair and maintain. Earlier this month ，the hotel chain's parent company H.I.S. announced that it had decided to "fire" over half of the robot employees and replace them with humans. Among them are the chain's two robot receptionists. In addition to scaring young guests ，they are also unable to photocopy guests' passports —a requirement when checking into a Japanese hotel-forcing human employees to step in each time. Also，out are the cute Churi robots ，which have proved unable to answer even the simplest questions and annoyed guests by interrupting their conversations.‎ While this is a setback ,the company's officials are not discouraged. They plan to continue with their ambitious expansion plans and believe the human-robot interaction is a learning process. "When you actually use robots，you realize there are places where they aren't needed." said one of the officials.‎ ‎12.What could robots in the first Henn-na Hotel do?‎ A. Offer guests traffic information. B. Help guests pack their luggage.‎ C. Greet guests in English or Japanese. D. Direct guests to check in at the front desk ‎ ‎13.What's one of the problems of the "fired" robots?‎ A.They cause trouble to customers. B. They ignore instructions.‎ C. They annoy human employees. D. They are beyond repair.‎ ‎14. What can be inferred about the officials of Henn-na Hotel chain?‎ A.They think highly of their interaction with customers .‎ B.They are against the use of state-of-the-art equipment.‎ C.They plan to hire more cute Churi robots.‎ D. They've realized the limitations of robots. ‎ ‎15.What is the best title for the text?‎ A.Robot Employees-Ready for Prime Time B.Japanese Hotel Chain Expands Ambitiously C.Robot Employees-a New Novelty for Hotels D.Japanese Hotel Chain "Fires" Robot Employees 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ I love to travel alone for one reason: the strangers.

Waiting in a line to pay,I asked the woman ahead of me if she was from the area. "Nope. Oklahoma，"she told me. "Why? 17.

As they had not paid the rent for several months, the landlord was breathing down their necks(盯着他们).‎ One day, Jatin took Neha’s shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed, but he lost them on the way home. It wasn’t until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed, so he begged his sister to keep it secret. Neha agreed and the two decided to share Jatin’s running shoes. Neha’s school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Jatin. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Jatin often arrived late and was warned by the school.‎ A long distance race was going to be held for the boys in the city. When Jatin learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.‎ The day of race arrived. Jatin had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache. Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Neha and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners, determined to finish third.
