Since being introduced to chess at the age of six, Tanitoluwa "Tani" Adewumi has had one goal. He wants to become the world's youngest-ever Grandmaster-the highest title a chess player can achieve. The record is currently held by Russian chess player Alexandrovich Karjakin, who won the title in 2002 at the age of 12.

To work for his goal, the gifted chess player practiced for up to 11 hours every day after school. On May 1, 2021, the now 10-year-old Tani became the newest national chess master of the United States. The title, awarded by the United States Chess Federation(USCF), requires players to get a rating of between 2200 to 2400. Tani achieved a rating of 2223 by defeating two chess experts, a master, and an international master. Tani said the secret to his success was thinking of his plays ahead of time.

The now fifth-grader first knew and fell in love with chess in 2017 after being exposed to the basics by a part-time teacher at school in Manhattan, New York. However, his mother, Oluwatoyin, didn't let him join the school's chess club due to the travel and chess competition costs. The family of four, who were living in a homeless shelter, did not have extra money to spare. When Oluwatoyin explained the family's situation to the chess club's instructor, Russell Makofsky, he instantly cancelled all costs for the young boy.

Tani did not disappoint those who supported him. Over less than a year after joining the club, he had garnered seven trophies(奖杯)and was ranked 27 in his age category. In 2019, the then eight-year-old, who was still living in a homeless shelter, made national headlines when he defeated 73 competitors to win the New York State Scholastic Chess K-3 Championship. His amazing story caught much attention and a GoFundMe campaign, set up by Makofsky, helped raise enough money for Tani and his family to move into a new home.

24. What can we learn from paragraph 2?

A. Tani's efforts paid off.          B. Tani did badly at school.

C. Tani hardly practiced chess.     D. Tani's thoughts were simple.

25. Who first introduced Tani to chess?

A. His mother.               B. His teacher.

C. Alexandrovich Karjakin.     D. Russell Makofsky.

26. Why did Tani's mother disagree to let him join the chess club?

A. The family was too poor to cover the costs.    B. The competition in the club was too fierce.

C. She was afraid that he was not independent.    D. She wanted him to concentrate on his study.

27. What does the underlined word "garnered" in the last paragraph probably mean?

A. Assessed.     B. Designed.     C. Gained.     D. Missed.

Widely known as the world's first national park, Yellowstone National Park was built on March 1, 1872. Covering 3, 472 square miles, Yellowstone runs through Wyoming and into Montana and Idaho, bringing with it deep canyons, rivers, forests, hot springs, and so on. The wonder of the world attracts millions of visitors each year because of its fantastic facts.

The park has a lake named Yellowstone Lake, which is situated at 7, 733 feet above sea level, making it the largest high-elevation lake in all of North America. The lake is about 20 miles long and 14 miles wide, with about 141 miles of shoreline. Each winter, Yellowstone Lake is completely covered with two-foot-thick ice.

Aside from its unique lake, there are also 290 waterfalls found throughout the park, including the famous Yellowstone River Upper and Lower Falls, which end up in an area known as the "Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River". Visitors can view the falls from several different hiking trails(远足路径)and walkways.

With over 300 campsites and more than 900 miles of hiking trails inside the park-most of which are managed as wilderness areas-Yellowstone is the perfect destination for the most adventurous kind of outdoor enthusiast. It isn't all difficult wilderness hiking, however, since the park also offers plenty of choices for shorter-day hikes on well-managed trails. There are even paved hikes that are wheelchair-accessible.

Also, you may see different kinds of animal:; along your hike in the park. Not only are there at least 67 species of mammals(哺乳动物)living in Yellowstone National Park, there are also approximately 300 species of bird and 16 species of fish. There're at least two threatened species. The Canada lynx(猞猁)was listed as threatened in 2000, and parts of Yellowstone are still considered as the animal's important natural home. They were found only 112 times in park history. What's more, in 2018, the government restored(恢复)the protection to grey bears within Yellowstone.

28. How does the text mainly introduce Yellowstone Lake?

A. By listing figures.           B. By making comparisons.

C. By following space order.     D. By following time order.

29. What in Yellowstone National Park attracts adventurous people most?

Children learn language at a far faster pace than adults. One explanation for this learning advantage comes not from differences between children and adults, but from the differences in the way that people talk to children and adults.

A team of researchers developed a method to experimentally evaluate how parents use what they know about their children's language when they talk to them. They have found that parents have models of their children's language knowledge, and use these models to adjust the language they use when speaking to them.

"We have known for years that parents talk to children differently than to other adults in a lot of ways, for example, simplifying their speech and repeating words," said Daniel Yurovsky, assistant professor in psychology at Carnegie Mellon University. "This helps young kids learn language, but we don't know whether parents change the way they talk as children are acquiring language."

Yurovsky adds, "Adults tend to speak to children more slowly. Adults also strengthen their communication with questions to see if children have understood their speech. As the child's language fluency increases, the sentence structure and complexity(复杂性)used by adults increases."

Yurovsky and his team wanted to understand exactly how parents adjusted their interactions to match their child's speech development. The team developed a game where parents helped their children to pick a certain animal from a set of three. Half of the animals in the matching game were animals children typically learn before age two, and the other half were animals that are typically learned later. The researchers asked 41 child-adult pairs to play the game. They measured the differences in how parents talked about animals they thought their children knew as compared to those they thought their children did not know.

The researchers found that the caregiver used various techniques to introduce the unknown animal to the child. The most common approach was to use additional descriptors familiar to the child.

32. Researchers have found parents adjust how they talk to their kids based on          .

A. their own language level             B. the importance of the talk

C. the closeness of their relationship      D. their kids' language knowledge

33. Why do adults ask questions when talking to kids in Yurovsky's opinion?

A. To draw kids' attention to the talk.       B. To measure kids' comprehension.

C. To encourage kids to think carefully.     D. To increase the difficulty of the speech.

34. What did the researchers do to the parents in the game?

A. They studied their ways to describe animals.  

B. They required them to act like some animals.

C. They asked them to comment on kids' speech.

D. They limited their words used to talk to kids.

35. What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. When Children Should Start to Learn Language

B. What Lessons Adults Can Learn From Children

C. How Parents Understand Children's Language

D. Why Children Learn Language Faster Adults

There're many life lessons that are presented to us every day. If we take the time to learn from them, they can chart a positive course for us. Here are three of the lessons I   46   (learn) so far in my life.

Live in the present. Focusing too much on the harm   62   (do) to us in the past, or trying to plan for too many   63   (possibility) in the future, can cause us to miss out on the present. Missing what is going on right in front of us can prevent us from the happiness or   64   (satisfy) the present can offer us.

Overcome any obstacles(障碍)in the way. When facing obstacles, we have to decide whether we let them stop us completely   65   we create a new course. Obstacles can easily become new opportunities. We just have to make small adjustments, and sometimes   66   (slight) change our goals.

Get up when we fail. Thomas Edison once said, "Many of life's failures are people who don't realize how close they were   67   success when they gave up." Sometimes it's the act of getting up when we fall that   68   (help) us cross the finish line.
