Annie Wang was 5 when she first saw the 32 classic chess fixtures: knights, bishops, rooks, pawns and the king and queen. “I thought they looked interesting,” said the six grader. “They looked like toys.”
In March, 11-year-old Annie became the youngest American girl to ever become a chess master in the 12-and-under category in National Junior Chess Congress competition held in Irvine.
Annie said her parents signed her up for introductory chess lessons when she expressed an interest in the game. “It only took me a month to learn all the rules. My dad now plays chess, but of course I’m the better player,” said Annie, who celebrated her 12th birthday on May 18, 2022.
She explained that matches can run from 10 minutes to more than six hours. If she gets up to stretch during a longer game, she knows how to recognize if her opponent tries to cheat by moving a bishop or a pawn. “I’d notice because we record any moves in a book,” she said.
When she grows up, Annie is considering becoming a rocket scientist. And in chess she hopes to become a grand master. “I don’t know whether older players are frustrated or angry when I beat them,” she acknowledged. But she plays to win. “I’d like to be the world champion in chess. When I beat adults, it makes me feel good,” she said.
Annie’s chess master title was awarded on the basis of her age and for reaching a threshold of official tournament points determined by her skill and that of her opponents.
“Almost all the players who become grand masters start young,” said Jack Peters, an International Master who formerly wrote a chess column for The Times. Peters said he had competed in matches while sitting next to Annie. He said youngsters under 16 often compete against men old enough to be their grandfathers. “It can get a little embarrassing,” Peters said. “I lost to a 14-year-old child a few months back.”
21. Annie’s parents signed her up for introductory chess lessons because__________.
A. her dad liked playing chess
B. she was interested in the game
C. chess fixtures were her favorite toys
D. chess rules were easy for her to learn
22. According to the passage, it can be inferred that Annie Wang__________.
A. is a highly talented chess player
B. didn’t like chess at an early age.
C. doesn’t show respect for adults
D. once competed against Jack Peters
23. What is the best title of this text?
A. Annie Wang’s dream when she was young
B. Annie Wang’s determination in practicing chess
C. The method Annie Wang used to play chess well
D. The youngest American chess master Annie Wang

Think about how many ways there are for you to communicate today. You can send a letter or pick up the phone and make a call.
But today, one of the most popular ways to communicate is called instant messaging (IM). In any instant messaging system, you type a little text message on your computer, press the “Send” button, and your message instantly shows up on your friend’s screen. But how does it work?
Actually, the whole process is very cool. In the 1980s, you could sit down at a computer at any big university. Up to 100 people would be logged in and sharing the computer because these computers were very expensive. You could type a command to send an instant message to anyone logged into the same computer. It felt like everyone was connected together no matter where they were sitting.
Today, you can do the same thing but with lots more possibilities. And you can communicate with just about anyone in the world. All you need is an instant messaging program installed on your computer. There are many programs to choose from. AOL’s instant messenger is probably the most popular right now.
MSN has one. Google has Google Talk.
When you’re ready, you create an account. Next, you need to figure out the IM names your friends use. Add their IM names to your IM program. Click on the friend you want to talk to and then type away. When you click “Send”, your friend gets the message instantly.
But behind the scenes, amazing things are happening. Your IM program is communicating with a computer, called a server which could be just down the road or even in some other city. All your friends’ computers are communicating with a server, too. Your computer is constantly chatting with it to make everything happen. The network called the Internet makes it all possible.
24. Why did so many people share a computer in the 1980s?
A. Because few people could afford to buy computers.
B. Because they wanted to be connected to each other.
C. Because few people knew how to use computers.
D. Because computers at that time were too large.
25. From the passage we can see that “Google Talk”_________.
A. is a kind of search engine
B. refers to a computer company
C. is an IM program
D. is a famous website
26. What underlined word “it” in the last paragraph most probably refers to_____.
A. a server B. an IM program C. a computer D. the Internet
27. What plays the most important role in sending instant message?
A. Your computer. B. Your friend’s computer.
C. The Internet. D. Your server.
C
It’s been a bad year for the African rhino, particularly for those that call South Africa home. In 2021, over 1,000 rhinos were hunted in South Africa alone. It’s a dangerously high number, when you consider only 5,000 black rhinos are left on the continent.
The white rhino story is a happier tale. Rescued from the edge of extinction, the species now number 20,000---though conservationists worry they are in danger too, as rhino horn continues to sell for a large sum on the black market.
“A rhino is killed every seven hours, and when you mention rhinos to everyone, they tend to shake their heads in desperation,” says Dereck Joubert, who, along with his wife Beverly set up Rhino Without Borders, a charity that has recently come up with a novel approach to saving this special creature.
In 2021, the charity will move 100 rhinos from South Africa— which holds 80％ of Africa’s rhino population---to Botswana, which has the lowest hunting rate in the continent. The rhinos are mainly donated from private sellers and the South African government.
“It’s a bad idea to keep all your high-value assets in one place. Ecologically and genetically, it makes a lot of sense to spread them around, so if there’s a natural calamity in one place, you don’t lose everything.” Dereck Joubert explains.
One of the reasons Botswana’s hunting levels are so low is that they have zero tolerance when it comes to hunters. Anti-hunting is handled by the Botswana Defense Force, who has a “shoot to kill” policy.
“If hunters are warned, but don’t immediately put down their weapons, the military(军事的) basically treats them like an aggressive military threat.” Joubert notes. “The risks are very high for hunters.” Botswana is also more remote and less populous---two factors that he says help keep hunting at a low rate..
Writers used to approach publishers to have their work read by the public. Now they can simply post them and find millions of instant audience.
28. From the first two paragraphs we can know that _______.
A. the white rhinos have been in danger of dying out
B. the number of the black rhinos is a little bit higher than that of the white
C. both black and white rhinos are in danger of extinction
D. the white rhinos seem to have a more hopeful future
29. Which of the following is NOT true about the Rhinos Without Borders according to the passage?
A. It is a charity set up by a couple.
B. The charity has already moved 100 rhinos to Botswana.
C. Its aim is to save the special rhinos in Africa.
D. Their approach to saving the rhinos may be practical.
30. The underlined word “calamity” in the fifth paragraph can be replaced by_________.
A. situation B. campaign C. environment D. disaster
31. Why can rhinos be well protected in Botswana?
A. Because most people there live in the city far from the world.
B. Because people there are well educated about the species.
C. Because the punishment there for the hunters is extremely strict.
D. Because Botswana has no trade for the rhino horn.
D
