BAn 8-year-od 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.“

8、I want o be the youngest grandmaster,” Tani told The York Times. Tani was placed first in the tournament for kindergarten through third grade- an outstanding win for anyone. “Its unheard of for any kid, let alone one in a homeless shelter, said Russell Makofsky, who is in charge of the chess program

9、. Tani hasnt 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 Tanis potential after observing him stand out in the game a few weeks after he first learned it

10、 early last year. He reached out to Tanis family about joining in the schools chess program, and learned they were unable to pay costs associated with membership. Martinez decided to abandon Tanis fees, which can easily reach thousands with travel and chess camp admission. Seven victories later, the

11、 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 worlds youngest grand master qualified at the age of 12. As Tanis story hits the headlines, more

12、 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 hell be in a home tonight,” Makofsky said.4.

The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech integrated systems. Designed to do what a fly does natural

16、ly, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.“Its extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual components (元件),” said Robert Wood, the Harvard engin

17、eering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. A few years ago, his team got the go-ahead to start piecing together the components. “The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to develo

18、p them all on our own,” he said.They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched w

19、ell to everything its connected to,” said Wood. The flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems. Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured.While this first robotic flyer is link

20、ed to a small, off-board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-in power source, so that it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers fields or on the battlefield. “Basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around,” he said.Wood says the

21、 design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. “You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that wo

22、uld be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead,” he said. “So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day to day basis.”8. Which of the following statements was the difficulty engineers met while making the robo

23、tic fly?A. They did no have sufficient fundB. There was no model in their mind.C. No ready-made components were available. D. I was hard for them to assemble the components.9. What can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4?A. The robotic fly can just fly in limited areas at present.B. The robotic fly

24、has been put into wide application.C. The robotic fly consists of a fight device and a control system.D. Information from many sources can be collected by the robotic fly.10.

26、tudy how insects fly.DIn a major medical breakthrough, Tel Aviv University researchers printed “the worlds first 3D vascularized (血管化的) engineered heart using a patients own cells and biological materials. Their findings were published on April 15 in a study in Advanced Science.“This is the first ti

27、me anyone anywhere has successfully engineered and printed an entire heart,” says Prof. Tal Dvir of Department of Materials Science and Engineering, who led the research for the study. “This heart is made from human cells and patient-specific biological materials. In our process, these materials ser

Our results demonstrate the potential of our approach for

29、engineering personalized tissue and organ replacement in the future. According to Prof. Dvir, the use of “native” patient-specific materials is important to successfully engineering tissues and organs.The researchers are now planning on culturing the printed hearts in the lab and “teaching them to b

30、ehave” like hearts , Prof. Dvir says. They then plan to transplant the 3D-printed heart into animal models.“We need to develop the printed heart further,” he concludes. “The cells need to form a pumping ability; they can currently contract, but we need them to work together. Our hope is that we will

31、 succeed and prove our methods efficacy(功效) and usefulness. Maybe, in ten years, there will be organ printers in the finest hospitals around the world, and these procedures will be conducted routinely.”12. What does Prof. Dvir think of an early 3D-printed heart?A. It was too simple. B. It was highly

32、 practical. C. It was too expensive. D. It was personalized. 13. What do we know about the latest 3D-printed heart?A. It can match a patient perfectly. B. It can be cultured in the lab. C. It has been transplanted into animals. D. It has been widely used in hospitals.14. What is Prof. Dvirs attitude

33、 to the development of the printed heart?A. Ambiguous. B. Disapproving. C. Cautious. D. Positive15. What is the authors purpose in writing the text?A. To introduce a breakthrough of medical research.B. To explain the basic principle of 3D technology.C. To doubt the medical value of a new invention.D

34、. To prove the effectiveness of the new technology. 第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。选项中有两项为多余选项。“The calm before the storm” is a very familiar expression. It is usually used to describe a peaceful period just before a very stressful situation or a tense argument. 16 They noted that

35、 before certain storms the seas would seem to become calm and the winds would drop.But why is it often so calm before a storm? 17 According to US website HowStuffWorks, a calm period occurs because many storms, tornadoes and hurricanes draw in all the warm and damp air from the surrounding area. As

36、this air rises into the storm clouds, it cools and acts as “fuel for the storm , like petrol in a car” .Once the storm has taken all the energy it can from the air, it is pushed out from the top of the storm clouds and falls back down to ground level. 18 So once it covers an area, it causes a calm p

37、eriod before the storm. 19 First count how many seconds there are between flash of lightning and a clap of thunder, roughly three seconds equal one kilometer. A good judgement is that if your count is below 30 seconds, you should seek shelter straight away.However, due to the complexity of the storm

38、 system, calm doesnt always go first. So, your best bet is to keep yourself updated with weather reports for any predictions regarding a coming storm in your area. 20 A. Science has given us the answer.B. There is no definite answer to the question. C. Weather reports sometimes cannot be trusted.D.

39、British sailors coined the phrase in the late 1600s.E. As the air declines, it becomes warm and dry, which is stable.F. The Weather Network has a tip for working out how far away a storm is.G. Thats the most reliable way to predict the next display of natures temper.第三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分55分）第一节（共20小题；每小

How could we show them our appreciation?We decided to make a

43、large pot of hot _32_ .We hired a car and asked the driver to take us around the campus where we knew the _33_ would be and we poured them each a cup of hot chocolate. The driver was _34_ a bit doubtful to the entire plan but after a while he was helping us _35_ the guards and our lively spirit had

44、_36_ to him as well. We were met with many _37_ and appreciative words.
