[昆明市2019届高考模拟考试]An 8yearold Nigerian, Tani Adewumi, whose family is homeless, won first place at the New York State Chess Championship without a single defeat and he said he is not done yet.
“I want to be the youngest grandmaster,” Tani told The New York Times. Tani was 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, 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 he first learned it early last year. He reached out
- 8 -
to Tani's family about joining in the school's chess program, and learned they were unable to pay costs associated with membership. Martinez decided to abandon Tani's fees, which can easily reach thousands with travel and chess camp admission.
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 the headlines, more people want to help. Makofsky, who set up a GoFundMe campaign 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.
4.How did Makofsky find Tani's achievement?

[2020·贵阳市高三摸底考试]Many of us think, wrongly, that the moon doesn't change. For example, the Tang dynasty poet Zhang Ruoxu once wrote that “Generations have come and passed away; From year to year the moons look alike, old and new.”
However, a new study published in the journal Nature Geoscience shows that the
- 8 -
moon is in fact slowly shrinking over time. For the study, a group of US scientists examined and analyzed thousands of photographs taken by the NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (月球勘测轨道飞行器照相机). They found that there were lots of faults(断层) on the surface of the moon. These faults were formed by recent movement on the moon.
According to NASA, the moon is made up of pieces of rocks with a hot core. The moon continued to expand as it was born. But in this process, it released energy and cooled down. Then it began to shrink, in a way comparable to the shrinking of a grape into a raisin. Over the past several hundred million years, it has become 46 meters “skinnier”. But due to its hard and rocky layer, the moon's surface continues to push up. “Some of these quakes can be fairly strong, around five on the Richter scale (里氏震级),” said Thomas Watters, a senior scientist at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum in the US.
But does that mean the moon is a dangerous place that human shouldn't try to explore and live on in the future? Maybe not, reported The Telegraph. “This isn't anything to worry about. The moon may be shrinking, but not by much. It's not going anywhere,” Watters comforted us.
The new discovery proves that the idea that the moon is a dead, boring place is wrong. “We have been to the moon and we've done some great science, but there is still a lot we don't know. The moon is shrinking—we didn't really realize that until recently. It's a much more active and interesting place than we thought and we should explore that,” NASA scientist Nathan Williams said.
8.Which point of view about the moon may the writer agree to?
A.It stays the same as before.
B.It is becoming slightly smaller.
C.It is getting older and older.
D.It has passed away.
9.What can we learn about the moon from the third paragraph?
A.It has become 46 meters fatter due to expanding.
B.It has changed from a grape into a raisin in recent years.
C.It quakes even at seven on the Richter scale.
D.It has a hot core and releases energy during expanding.
10.Who thinks that we needn't worry about the moon?
A.Zhang Ruoxu. B.Thomas Watters.
- 8 -
C.Nathan Williams. D.The journalist.
11.What does Nathan Williams think of the moon?
A.It is a dead and boring place.
B.It has lots of faults on the surface.
C.It is valuable to do more science.
D.It isn't a place where we can live.

Choose lowfat foods, like chicken, beans, or lowfat milk products and add lots of fruits and vegetables to your meal. __4__.

3.C 考查推理判断。综观全文可知,本文的四家食品生产商的共同点是大体位置相同,即都位于纽约市。故选C项。

4.B 考查推理判断。根据第二段第三句中的“It's unheard of for any kid, let alone one in a homeless shelter”可知,Makofsky认为,Tani的成就是闻所未闻的。由此可推知,他在这里表达了自己的惊奇之感。故选B。
5.C 考查细节理解。根据第三段第三句“School chess coach Shawn Martinez saw Tani's potential after observing him stand out in the game a few weeks after he first
- 8 -
learned it early last year”可知,Martinez决定免去Tani的费用是因为他发现了Tani在国际象棋方面的天赋。故选C。
6.D 考查推理判断。通读全文,尤其是倒数第二段中的“He works very hard at his game”可知,Tani虽然处于非常不利的条件,但是他却能通过自己刻苦的努力,将自己的能力发挥到最大限度,并取得了成功。由此可推知,D项符合题意。
7.A 考查标题判断。根据第一段并结合全文其他内容可知,本文主要讲述尼日利亚小孩Tani Adewumi虽然和家人一起无家可归,但是经过自己的努力和在学校教练Shawn Martinez的帮助下,成了国际象棋比赛的冠军。故A项符合题意。
干扰项分析:B项仅为文章细节之一;根据文章第一、二段的内容可知,Tani只是希望,但还未成为最年轻的国际象棋大师,故D项错误。
【语篇解读】 月球并非如唐代诗人张若虚在诗中描绘的那样是亘古不变的。一项最新的科学研究表明,月球正在随着时间慢慢地缩小。此外,这项研究还表明月球还有许多我们不了解的东西,它是一个比我们认为的更活跃、更有意思的地方,我们应该探索它。
8.B 考查细节理解。根据第二段第一句“However,a new study... shows that the moon is in fact slowly shrinking over time”可知,一项新的发表在《自然·地球科学》上的研究表明,月球正在随着时间慢慢地缩小,据此可知B项正确。

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
【语篇解读】 这是一篇说明文,作者就如何在学校选择合适的食物提出了建议。
1.C 依据下文的“Here are some tricks to choose foods that will keep...the day”可知,之所以作者给读者提出建议,是因为这些食物如果摆在饥饿的读者面前,读者很难作出健康的选择,因此选C项。
- 8 -
2.A 后一句中作者建议查看学校餐厅提供的每周或每月的菜单,这样有助于提前作出决定,因此这里指得到一份菜单,故选A项。虽然B项也提到菜单,但是“你给学校餐厅提供菜单”不符合实际情况和语境。
3.D 本段的主题句是“Head for the salad bar”,D项正是建议你利用学校的沙拉售货台。故选D。
4.G 本段的主题句说明了选择食物时要考虑食物所能提供的能量。前一句表明“选择低脂肪的食物,如鸡肉、豆类或低脂奶制品,并在食物中加入大量的水果和蔬菜”,G项中的They指的是上文提到的这些食物,同时也阐述了这些食物含有身体需要的矿物质和能量。
5.F 由上文的“take along a healthy snack... to fight hunger between classes”可知,吃一些健康的零食能够缓解饥饿,补充体力,F项中的“It”指代前面的“a healthy snack”,因此F项符合此处语境。
