Zheng Qinwen announced herself as a major new force in women's tennis with an import French Open debut(首秀)last month. Now the Chinese teenager hopes the fighting spirit she showed at the Grand Slam(大满贯)tournament can encourage kids starting out in the sport to chase their. dreams on the court with the same determination.
“If tennis is your dream,I think you always have to fight for your dream.Because we only have one life, you shouldn't have any regrets,”Zheng said last week in an interview.
The 19-year-old showed she possesses the talent to be a contender at the very top level of tennis with a breakout campaign at French Open.
Accounting for two-time Grand Slam winner Simona Halep along the way,Zhengs journey was ended in the fourth round by a three-set defeat to eventual champion Iga Swiatek. Zheng,though gave the Polish world No. 1 a big scare,battling back from 3-0 down in the first set to force,and win，a tiebreak(平分决胜局)。
“That was the first time I had played the world No.1,so I really wanted to grab this chance so I could judge her level and test myself,”said Zheng.“I didn’t want to give her the match so easy like that. It was pretty difficult for me to hold on in that match because of what my body was going through, but I wanted to show her I'm not easily beaten.
Looking back at Zheng Qinwen's performances in this year’s French Open,there's no doubt that she's a true fighter. Zheng says she avoids being discouraged by higher-ranked opponents by simply focusing on the next point, one shot at a time.Supported by her team,she hopes she can one day win a Grand Slam title.
Zheng's impressive French Open run has inevitably led to comparisons with China's solitary Grand Slam singles championLi Na, who won the 2011 French Open and 2014 Australian Open titles.
“When I was a kid,Li Na showed that Asian people also can do something really good in tennis. She was the first one. I will just focus on my own game and then let's see if I can really compete at the highest level,"said Zheng.
24. What does the underlined word “contender" in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Organizer. B. Announcer. C. Competitor. D. Designer.
25. What is the result of the match between Zheng and Ign Swiatek?
A.Iga Swiatek beat Zheng easily. B. Zheng lost to Iga Swiatek at last.
C. Zheng won the match despite her pain. D. Iga Swiatek lost because of her mistakes.
26. Why is Li Na mentioned in paragraph 7?
A. To explain why Li Na has achieved a lot B. To prove failure is the mother of success.
C. To show how excellent Zheng Qinwen is.
D. To compare the difference between Zheng Qinwen and LI Na
27. Which of the following can best describe Zheng Qinwen?
A. Optimistic and generous. B. Struggling and determined
C. Independent and helpful. D. Adventurous and realistic.
C
The waters off the northeastern coast of the United States are some of the fastest warming in the world. New research published in Global Change Biology shows that this region's tiger sharks are making swift and significant changes to their range to cope with and take advantage of the extreme warming.
Neil Hammerschlag, a shark researcher at the University of Miami and his colleagues captured 47 tiger sharks off southeast Florida, southwest Florida and the northern Bahamas and outfitted them with satellite tracking devices to monitor the sharks’ movements from 2010 to2019.The team combined these new,detailed tracking data with the times and locations of 8,764 tiger sharks that were caught and tagged by scientists and fishers between 1980 and 2018.
The study found that the northern edges of the tiger shark’s preferred water temperature range has shifted about 186 miles poleward in the cold season and about 248 miles poleward in the warm season over the last 40 years. Meanwhile,their northern edges shift about 186 miles north in the cold season and 270 miles north in the warm season compared to the 1980s.
Hammerschlag isn't sure what the ecological result of a large shark pressing farther north as the seas heat up will be,but off the coast of California great whites(大白鲨)are offering an example of the unpredictable new interactions that can occur.Salvador Jorgensen,a shark researcher who wasn't involved in the study,says juvenile(少年的)great whites have extended their territory up the California coast as the warmer waters they prefer have stretched farther north. This range expansion has led them to overlap with sea otters(海獭)，which have shown an accompanying increase in fatal biting.
The findings have implications for the species’ conservation because as these tigers of the sea move farther north, they're spending more and more time outside of waters with some form of
protection from commercial fishing.“The wild tiger shark population is relatively stable,” says Hammerschlag.“But if these sharks start getting killed in greater numbers, that could change.
28. What did the researchers do for their study?
A.They cooperated with some fishers. B. They referred to the previous data.
C. They controlled the sharks movements. D. They produced satellite tracking devices
29. How does extreme warming affect the tiger sharks according to the study?
A. It is putting them in danger. B. It is damaging their habitat.
C. It is disturbing their lifestyle. D. It is changing their migrations.
30. What can we know from paragraph 4?
A. Sharks hate the warmer waters. B. Shark's territory is becoming small.
C. Shark's migration is affecting ecology. D. Sharks live with sea otters peacefully
31. What might the tiger sharks face when pressing farther north?
A. Humansthreats. B. Natural disasters.
C. Physical exhaustion. D. Frequent starvation
D
Mark Twain looked down upon those people who think it is possible for someone to learn how to write a novel.“A man who is not born with the novel-writing gift has a troublesome time of it when he tries to build a novel," he said.
But now new technology is making a difference to help an author write a novel.Michael Green, a US data scientist-turned-novelist, felt that technology could help him.
He said that the process had become difficult to manage:“In the midst of editing,I got to the point where I started feeling like I had a lot of plots and characters"he said.
“I had all these documents on the deeper aspects of the world I was creating. I was worried about not being able to keep track of it all.That is when I switched into my more data science-minded approach to solving a complex problem with a lot of different places."
Green went on to create Lynit,a digital platform to help authors plan and weave together the many elements that form a story, such as the themes,characters and major events.
“As the author gets a new idea that they want to bring into the story,they are able to input it into a natural framework,"he said,“Piece by piece they are adding to the story. As new ideas come in, they change, maybe by creating new nodes(节点)new relationships.”
Once the book has been published,technology is also playing an ever-increasing role in publicity and connecting with readers. Websites and APPs from specialist firms allow authors to participate in live-question-and-answer sessions with their audience.
Michael Green believes technology will become even more important as a new generation of tech savvy(精通技术的)writers becomes more well known.
“What I'm finding with the Generation Z and even younger writers is that they are looking for technology to give them guidance,"he said,“They see it as a tool to learn and grow with rather than extra work."
32.What difficulty did Green face in writing his book?
A. He felt that he was not creative enough.
B. He would leave out important plots.
C. He had trouble organizing his thoughts.
D. He was afraid the characters wouldn't appeal to readers.
33. What is an advantage of technology according to the text?
A.It creates new relationships for others. B.It can generate images based on words.
C. It can translate thoughts into sentences D. It brings authors closer to their readers.
34. Which of the following would Green most probably agree with?
A. Tech-savvy writers become known thanks to technology
B. Young writers rely too heavily on technology.
C. Technology should be dismissed as extra work.
D. New technology matters to growing young writers.
35. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A. What Can We Learn from Mark Twain?
B. Can Technology Help Authors Write a Book?
C.How Can Authors Become Skilled in Technology?
D. Do We Really Need Technology as Our Guidance?

Trekking is an activity in which people take multi-day hiking trips through rural,often rugged territory. Many people who are trekkers engage in longer trips through entire regions of the world._36 It also can be incorporated with other outdoor sports,such as rock climbing or backpacking.
This activity is different from other types of travel for several reasons.It tends to be less structured than other sorts of travel,because weather conditions and topography(地形)can influence trekkers’ travel plans more than plane flights or hotel availability 37 Many trekkers travel through isolated areas and get a travel experience that is much different from that of people who travel in organized groups to popular destinations.This often allows trekkers to interact with nature while doing things such as climbing a rock wall or navigating through a mountain range.
38 Certain areas are particularly popular with trekkers,including mountainous regions such as the Himalayas in Asia and the Andes in South America. Treks also have been organized in other less-visited areas on almost every continent.
This type of trip can be as long or as short as participants decide, from a few days of hiking to an expedition that lasts more than a year. 39 The less-structured nature of this activity and a world of possible destinations help attract a wide variety of participants.
Several pieces of gear help make trekking more enjoyable for many people.One is a comfortably fitting backpack. Another item that is considered important is a high-quality pair of hiking boots When covering long distances, wearing the right pair of boots can make the difference between enjoying a trip and being in pain. 40
A. Trekking can be done anywhere in the world.
B. They use trekking as a way of getting from place to place.
C. A beginning trekker should go with someone who has experience.
D. It also can be as athletic and adventurous as the participants decide.
E. Trekking can also be a means of necessity in places where there is no vehicular transport.
G. As travelers move on foot through often-rural areas trekking gives them an up-close view of the scenery.
