Every year, millions of people watch tennis games to celebrate the spirit of tennis.Here are four major tennis events, which are also known as the Grand Slam tournaments (大满贯赛事), helping you know the sport better.
The US Open
The US Open, the fourth Grand Slam of the tennis year, has its roots in 1881.It is held at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York, usually between late August and early September.Played on hard courts, the US Open is known for its hard playing surface, which rewards powerful serves and aggressive play.
The French Open
The French Open, also known as the Roland-Garros tournament, dates back to 1891.It is held annually at the Stade Roland-Garros in Paris, typically between late May and early June.The tournament is played on clay courts, which are known for slow pace and high bounce, favoring players with strong baseline play and good sliding performance.
The Australian Open
The Australian Open or the AO, the calendar year's first Grand Slam, began in 1905.It has evolved into a major event in professional tennis playing, held annually in Melbourne, in January.Played on hard courts, the AO is famous for its hot and often windy conditions, which test players' adaptability and endurance (忍耐力).
The Championships, Wimbledon
Known for the grass courts, it has been held since 1877 in Wimbledon, London, which is also celebrated for its fast play and the strict tradition of wearing all-white attire (服装).The tournament takes place annually in late June and early July.Its unique seeding system and the high honour associated with winning the title make it one of the prizes each wants in tennis.

A couple has recently placed their garbage can out for collection for the first time in 14 months, all thanks to their recycling skills.Richard and Louise Arnold have established such an effective routine that they only need to put their garbage can on the side of the street once a year.
Louise explained that making small monthly changes in her life has resulted in her family producing very little waste.She said, “It's not as difficult as you might think if you start with small steps.We began with soap, switching from bath cream to natural soap without packaging.These bars are large enough that we cut them in half, using one for the sink and the other half for the shower.It's both cost-effective and environmentally friendly.”
“So it's actually quite easy.Just go around your house and think of little things you can do gradually, and you'll start noticing the difference,” Louise added.Currently, the couple takes recyclable waste to the tip, donates clothes to charity shops, and brings soft plastics and batteries to a shop that accepts them.
In 2017, the couple established No Waste Living, which initially started as a weekend stall at the local market and has since developed into a website.Louise regularly writes a newsletter for her hundreds of subscribers.They also started selling eco-friendly products, ranging from non-chemical household cleaning and washing solutions for a “less toxic home” to bamboo washing-up brushes. Louise mentioned, “I started No Waste Living because I wanted to show our achievements and lead by example.”
Although the family occasionally faces criticism, Louise remains determined.She said, “The main point of contention (争论) for people regarding new waste rules is having to drive their waste to a recycling center, which adds to their already busy lives.However, in the long run, you will create more space in your home, save money, and spend less time dealing with garbage cans.”
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了一对夫妇在回收利用垃圾和减少家庭垃圾方面的经验,并通过激励他人减少浪费来推动环境保护。

Kids today have access to a whole range of technology that their parents couldn't have even dreamed would ever exist.They've become skilled in using smartphones far quicker than us older generations and have easily taken to the commands of today's speakers.
But it seems that their understanding of some “old” technology is not so comprehensive.A new study, conducted by Explore Learning, presented a group of 10-year-old schoolchildren with pictures of classroom items that were commonplace in their parents' generation.
More than two thirds had no idea what the overhead projector was called, while 72% couldn't guess what it was even used for.Guessing at its purpose, they threw out ideas like “eye machine” and “walkie talkie”, with some saying it might be used “at the dentist” or “for experimenting”.
The confusion continued when they were presented with an old boombox (音箱) radio.One child shouted, “Imagine if you had this boombox and you were just carrying it around all day listening to music! That would be, like...harder!” Another excitedly called out to the old radio, “Hey, play Roar by Katy Perry.”
Commenting on the research, Amandeep Sanghera, Head of Maths and English at Explore Learning, said, our “Back to School Rewind” survey has uncovered a fascinating—and often hilarious—general gap. It's remarkable to see just how quickly classroom technology develops.Items that were everyday essentials (必需品) for parents have become mysterious relics to their children in just two or three decades.
“This old-school tech might be gathering dust in the cupboard now, but it really shows how quickly things can change in our classrooms.It's not just chalk that confuse today's tech-savvy (精通科技的) kids—even the overhead projector is now a puzzling thing from the past!”
“While it's amusing to see children puzzle over these outdated technologies, it's also a reminder of the incredible opportunities modern tech offers in classrooms,” Amandeep Sanghera added.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“探索学习”组织进行了一项新研究,研究表明小学生对父母那一代司空见惯的课堂技术感到困惑,这一现象显示出了科技的巨大进步。

29.How might the kids react to the school tech their parents used?
A.Uninterested. B.Puzzled.
C.Disappointed. D.Proud.
B 解析:推理判断题。根据第三段中的“More than two thirds...what it was even used for.”可知,孩子们不了解父母上学时候使用的科技,教学设备及其用途,由此可推知,他们是感到困惑的。
30.What does the underlined word “hilarious” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A.Rare. B.Lasting.
C.Abnormal. D.Funny.
D 解析:词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“The confusion continued...an old boombox radio.”以及第五段中的fascinating和remarkable可推知,孩子和家长之间在技术上的这种代沟是有趣的,画线词和funny的意义最为接近。

Robots in space will be extracting (提取) gold from asteroids (小行星) within ten years if a new project backed by a Silicon Valley billionaire goes as planned.Peter Diamandis, the founder of Planetary Resources, said the company attempts to make the resources of space available to humanity.
The initial stage, to be achieved in the next 18 to 24 months, is to launch a series of private telescopes which will orbit Earth.These will be used to search for the right type of asteroids.The plan is to use commercially built robotic ships to extract rocket fuel and valuable minerals from the rocks that regularly pass by Earth.Diamandis predicts that they could have their version of a space-based petrol station up and running in two years.
Several scientists not involved in the project argued that the project was daring, difficult and very pricey.They do not see how it could be cost-effective. But the founder of Planetary Resources has a track record of profiting from space exploration business.Diamandis was the first person to sell rides into space to tourists.“Before we started launching people into space as private citizens, people thought that was a ridiculous idea,” Diamandis said.“This is a long-term project.But it's not a charity.We'll make money.” The idea that asteroids could be mined for resources has been around for years.There are probably 1,500 asteroids that pass near Earth that would be good initial targets.They are at least 50 meters wide, and Diamandis figures ten percent of them have water and other valuable minerals.
Richard Binzel, Professor of Planetary Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, says, “The idea might be many decades ahead of its time.But you have to start somewhere as it might offer a new perspective of saving the Earth from being over explored.”
【解题导语】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了一个计划从小行星上提取黄金等宝贵的矿物质和燃料的项目。
32.What is supposed to be the first step of the project?
A.Launching robots into Earth orbit.
B.Sending some telescopes into space.
C.Building a space-based petrol station.
D.Using robotic ships to extract rocket fuel.
B 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The initial stage...which will orbit Earth.”可知,项目的最初阶段是往太空发射一系列私人望远镜。
33.How did Diamandis use to make money from space exploration business?
A.By extracting gold from asteroids.
B.By providing space travels for tourists.
C.By being the first person to ride into space.
D.By selling tickets to see tourists' rides into space.
B 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Diamandis was the first person...to tourists.”和“This is a long-term project....We'll make money.”可知,迪亚曼迪斯以前通过把游客送入太空旅行来获利。
34.What does Richard Binzel think of the project?
A.It is risky. B.It is complex.
C.It is worthwhile. D.It is demanding.
C 解析:观点态度题。根据最后一段中的“But you have to start somewhere...saving the Earth from being over explored.”可推知,理查德·宾泽尔认为这个新的项目是值得开发的。
35.What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A.Mining Asteroids
B.Humans and Asteroids
C.Space Exploration in Progress
D.The Project of Extracting Minerals
A 解析:标题归纳题。通读全文可知,文章介绍了一个计划从小行星上提取黄金等宝贵的矿物质和燃料的项目。A项最适合作文章标题。

57.had been recorded 解析:考查动词的时态和语态。根据“they heard the news”可知,为一般过去时,“被列入名单”动作发生在heard之前,因此,空处时态为过去完成时。主语tea forest lands和record之间是被动关系,应用被动语态。

60.first 解析:考查序数词。the first意为“第一个”。
61.which 解析:考查非限制性定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导非限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语,指代前面的先行词tea culture,应用which引导。
62.to create 解析:考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,空处为非谓语动词,应用不定式作表语,解释说明这种技术的内容。

Dear__Anne,
I am sorry to know that you have been taking weight-loss pills as well as skipping meals to lose weight recently,which has made your body very weak, and you are depressed.Below are my opinions about it.
First of all, you should stop taking weight-loss pills in no time because they are harmful to your health.Besides, there are many other ways to lose weight.For example, you may go jogging, quite a popular form of exercise, in the morning or after supper. Another way is that you should keep a balanced diet, which is also an effective way of losing weight and keeping healthy.
In a word, if you insist on exercising and keeping a balanced diet, you will make it.
Yours,
Li__Hua

Finding the Perfect Sandy
“Ashley, our Sandy is singing again!”
The stage manager called to me, and I walked on stage to clip the leash (扣上皮带) onto Baily, the dog playing the role of Sandy, who was supposed to be merely a supporting role in the school musical.Our director was very close to just getting a toy animal or an actor in a dog suit.Baily was our third Sandy, but I knew he would not be the last.
“Ashley, can you please find another dog for us by Monday?” asked Mr.Loomis, our director and drama teacher.
“OK!” I knew that this dog had to be perfect.
“I think I can help you get a dog,” offered Jose, our assistant director.“In fairness, Mr.Loomis has to keep our program going.There are always threats to cut it, so he doesn't want to see anything too odd on stage.” Jose added.
That was why I chose to stay backstage, despite my love for singing and dancing.My giant birthmark (胎记) that covered half of my face would be too much of a distraction.I had been in the group for one musical, and loved it, but afterward I overheard a lady telling Mr.Loomis how kind it had been for him to cast (选角) me.After that, I quit and worked behind the scenes.
“Let's avoid odd,” I agreed.
Jose nodded.“I texted my neighbor Mrs.Kart who runs a shelter, immediately Baily started howling.She replied me right back saying she knew the perfect dog.”
We walked to Mrs.Kart's shelter.“I have got the dog for you!” she announced.“His name is Farley.He works part-time at the airport comforting passengers who are nervous about flying.” Then she burst back through the door with a cute bundle of energy.Farley had soulful eyes and black and white spots, but the main thing about him was that he was missing a leg.
“He's a three-legged dog!” I exclaimed, stating the obvious.Both Jose and I stood back for a moment as we considered this dog.
I sighed.“Are there any other dogs at the shelter?”

One possible version:
Unfortunately, my weekend search did not produce any other possibilities.Despite visiting numerous shelters, each attempt left me discouraged than the last.With the performance day approaching, I felt like an ant on a hot pan as my pressure mounted and panic set in heavily.But when I stood in front of Farley, watching him playfully chase his tail and his soulful eyes glittering, I finally determined to give the three-legged creature a try.On the day of performance, to my great amazement, Farley didn't chew or bark or do anything inappropriate, but acted like a star, following the directions given and performed perfectly for his tender nature.Thunderous applause erupting from the audience confirmed that Farley's was the perfect Sandy despite his imperfection.
“I thought that performers had to be perfect.” I said to Mr.Loomis after the performance.Startled by my words, Mr.Loomis gazed at me cautiously, shaking his head, “Actually, I was very confused and disappointed when you quit casting.You were cast for your good vocal range and passion for the stage.” With choked emotions, I explained, “I didn't want to create visual tension due to my birthmark.I thought you cast me out of pity but what you desired definitely was perfection.” Patting me on the shoulder, Mr.Loomis told me that theater was for everyone, and perfection isn't about being flawless, yet it was about bringing a genuine spirit and connection to the performance.With these words striking into my heart, I decided to follow my passion and be the perfect Sandy myself.
