一、阅读单选

（2020·上海闵行·统考二模）On March 10, 2019, eight-year old Tani won the New York Chess Championship of his age group. But the boy, 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 African in 2017. A church helped him enter the primary school, P. S. 116. Here the gifted boy was first introduced to chess by a teacher Makofsky, owner of a chess club. Interested in the game, the seven-year-old boy asked him  mother to allow him to join the club. As she wasn’t able to afford the chess classes, she e-mailed Makofsky. To her surprise and joy, Makofsky agreed that Tani could lean it or free.

Though the chess club helps, it’s largely believed that Tani’s success lies in his hard work. The boy practices the game for many hours a day on the floor with his board. Every Saturday,  Tani goes to a free 3-hour class to improve his game skills.

Not surprisingly, Tani’s story, first reported by the New York Times, has brought him great support from the American public. Soon after the young boy won the New York Champion ship, Makofsky began a GofindMe activity for Tani and his family. In this way, Tani could continue his chess journey. It raised $ 200,000 in just ten days, far more than they expected. And the money goes on coming. But the family donates most of the money to the church and to those poor families.

Tani has also got offers from three famous private schools in New York. However, the family have politely rejected all of them and chosen to continue Tani’s education at P. S. 116.

The young boy’s story also caught the eye of Bill Clinton, the 42nd US President. “Tani, you’re an example of a winning spirit - in chess and in life. I’d love to meet you. ‘He said on his Facebook.

While Tani is  excited about  his  new life, he is  ready  to meet great  challenges. He is busy preparing for the next National Primary Championships. Winning the competition will bring the chess player closer to his dream of becoming the world’s youngest chess grandmaster（最高段的棋手）. The record has been kept for 17 years by the Russian chess player Karjakin, who won the title at the age of 12.

On the other side of the harbour, some people were pointing and shouting, so he cycled over quickly Mr Reeder expected to see a dog in the sea, bu instead, he saw a baby’s buggy（婴儿车）in about four metres of freezing cold water. A woman was screaming desperately - her baby boy was trapped into the buggy and was in the water. The strong wind had blown the buggy into the sea. Mr Reeder quickly decided to do something.

“I went over and saw that the buggy was upside - down ... and I jumped in,” said Mr Reeder. He pulled the buggy over to the sea wall. Then some other people came to help. They tired a rope to the buggy and managed to pull it out of the water and to safety.

Mr Reeder remembered seeing a little bit of breath coming out of the baby’s mouth. ‘I thought, he is all right. He’s alive. Brilliant!” he said. Then an air ambulance helicopter arrived and the baby was taken to hospital. Mr Reeder said it was unbelievable that baby survived. ‘It’s such a miracle,’ Mr Reeder added.

After he’d finished helping the baby and the helicopter had gone, Mr Reeder went home to recover from the experience. The child’s grandfather knew Mr Reeder and, a little later, went to his house to tell him that the boy was out of danger. Mr Reeder was very relieved and happy to hear that.

Mr Reeder said that he hadn’t really been brave. ‘It was everyone - from Tanya doing the CPR to the helicopter pilot,’ he said. ‘I’m just glad I could help. But when Mr Reeder got the certificate, a reporter said that what he’d done was very brave. ‘This was an extremely brave act, as he put his own life at risk.’ The reporter has advised local people to avoid walking along the seafront in very windy weather.

（2022·上海闵行·统考二模）Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）

I was a freshman in college when I met the Whites. They were completely different from my own family. Jane White and I became friends at school, and her family welcomed me like a long-lost cousin.

In my family, it was always important to place blame（责备、责怪）when anything had happened. From the time we were little, my sister, brothers and I told on（告发）each other. The Whites, however, didn’t worry about who had done what. The beauty of this was driven home to me the summer Jane died.

In July, the White sisters and I decided to take a car trip from their home in Florida to New York. The two older sisters, Sarah and Jane were college students, and the youngest, Amy, had recently turned 16. Proud of having a new driver’s license, Amy was excited about practicing her driving on the trip.

The big sisters shared the driving of Sarah’s new car during the first part of the trip, but when they reached less crowded areas, they let Amy take over. Amy got behind the wheel. She came to a crossroads with a stop sign. No one would ever know whether she was nervous or just didn’t see the sign, but Amy didn’t stop at the crossroads and a large truck ran into our car.

Jane was killed at once. I was slightly injured. The most difficult thing that I had ever done was to call the Whites to tell them what happened. Painful as it was for me to lose a good friend, I knew that it was far worse for them to lose a child.

When Mr. and Mrs. White arrived at the hospital, they found their two daughters sharing a room. Sarah had a few cuts on her head; Amy’s leg was broken. They hugged all and cried tears of sadness and of joy at seeing their daughters. They wiped away the girls` tears and made a few jokes at Amy as she learned to use her crutches（拐杖）.

To both of their daughters, and especially to Amy, over and over they simply said, “   5   . ”

I was astonished. No blame. No accusations（控诉，指责）.

Later, I asked the Whites why they never talked about the fact that Amy was driving and had run a stop sign. Mr. White said, “Jane is gone and we miss her terribly. Nothing we say or do will bring her back. But Amy has her whole life ahead of her. How can she lead a happy life if she feels we blame her for her sister’s death?”

They were right. Amy graduated from the University and got married several years ago. She is now a mother of two little girls of her own, the older named Jane.

25．It was always important to place blame in the writer’s family, wasn’t it?

__________________________________________________

26．Where did the writer and the White sisters plan to go that July?

27．When did Amy begin to take over the car?

28．How did the accident happen?

29．What can be filled in the blank in Paragraph 7?

30．What’s the difference between the writer’s family and the White’s family when in trouble?
