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 champion Li 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
Feeling a bit bored? It could be just what you need to produce your best ideas, excite your creativity or simply give your brain a rest.
Nowadays, in the age of round-the-clock entertainment, it’s technically trickier to be bored. If the show you’re watching has lost its spark, you can easily amuse yourself on social media without even leaving the sofa. But that’s not necessarily a good thing. Feeling disengaged from the task in hand, or a lack of stimulation (刺激), does have its benefits, according to researchers at the University of Central Lancashire.
Being bored motivates you to search out something less boring to do. For example, if you decide there’s nothing worth watching on TV, you might choose to switch off and take up a new hobby. This, according to researchers, can explain why the lockdowns of the past two years saw a surge (激增) in creativity among people stuck at home from banana-bread-making to picking up a paintbrush for the first time since childhood.
But what about those times when you have no choice but to stick with the boring situation, waiting for a bus, for instance? The good news is that the boredom you’re feeling now could spark your creativity later, says a 2019 study published in the Academy of Management Discoveries journal. People who’d taken part in a bean-sorting task later performed better at coming up with creative ideas than another group who’d been given something more interesting to do first.
Ultimately, don’t take it for granted that there’ll always be something close at hand to entertain us. With boredom, we will not run the risk of becoming boring ourselves.
28. What does the author imply in paragraph 2?
A. Wondering mind can be healthy.
B. Social media can surely entertain us.
C. Being bored may be something good.
D. Being involved in the task is beneficial.
29. Why was the surge in creativity seen recently?
A. People were stimulated by boredom.
B. People were better equipped at home.
C. People had more hobbies to choose from.
D. People were more concerned about mental being.
30. What is the purpose of the bean-sorting task in the 2019 study?
A. To create a boring situation. B. To reduce people’s boredom.
C. To make a funny performance. D. To show an entertainment at hand.
31. What is the best title of the passage?
A. What is the point of creativity?
B. Are we more easily bored nowadays?
C. How can we deal with daily boredom?
D. Does boredom make us more creative?
D
A “secretive” new species of frog has been discovered on the forest floor in India’s Western Ghat mountain range. Named the starry dwarf frog after the markings on its dark brown back, it is just 2 centimeters long.
The frog, whose closest relatives are a group of species native to India and Sri Linka, is the only member of an ancient lineage (血统)dating back to millions of years ago, according to researchers from India and the US. It is unclear whether the species is descended from African or Asian frogs.
A group of Indian and US researchers first came across the local species hidden in leaf-litter as part of a wider project to look for new frogs, lizards and snakes in the richly biodiverse region and stored it in a jar for later study. Genetic testing and a closer look at its shape, colouring and other features has shown that it doesn’t match any existing species.Kartik Shanker of the Indian Institute of Science, who helped design the study, says while it is common to find new frogs in India, this one needs to be noticed. “This particular species not just is a new species, but also belongs to a new genus (属), and that makes it a little more special,” says Shanker.
The number of known species of frog identified in India has climbed from around 200 to above 400 over the past two decades. While many species new to science are frequently immediately sorted as endangered, it is too early to say whether the starry dwarf frog is threatened. “They are very secretive,” says Shanker, adding that the team didn’t know the size of its population. The frog is active at night and lives near water.
Habitat loss is a serious risk to frogs in tropical forests around the world, alongside threats such as a deadly fungus(真菌)that has been killing off amphibians(两栖动物)for the past four decades. But the new species was found in a reserved forest, meaning it will enjoy a degree of protection by Indian government agencies.
32. What can we learn from paragraph 3?
A. The species was discovered by tourists.
B. The species was found in a rich region.
C. The species was finally set free.
D. The species was further studied.
33. What can we say about the new frog?
A. It is in small quantities.
B. It is an endangered species.
C. It is well worth attention.
D. It is related to African or Asian frogs.
34. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Habitat loss is the chief threat to frogs.
B. The new species may face less dangers.
C. Tropical forests in India are all under protection.
D. The Indian government determines to save frogs.
35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. A rare frog species protected in India
B. A rise in species of frog seen in India
C. A secretive frog species discovered in India
D. A risk of habitat loss for frogs removed in India

【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段““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.(“如果网球是你的梦想，我认为你总是要为你的梦想而奋斗。因为我们只有一次生命，你不应该有任何遗憾，”郑在上周的一次采访中说)”，第三段“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.(这位19岁的网球选手在法国网球公开赛上表现出色，展现了她成为顶级网球选手的天赋)”和第五段的“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.(我不想让她的比赛这么容易。对我来说，在那场比赛中坚持住是非常困难的，因为我的身体原因，但我想告诉她，我不是那么容易被打败的)”推知，郑是一个努力且有决心的人。故选B。

【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“For example, if you decide there’s nothing worth watching on TV, you might choose to switch off and take up a new hobby.This, according to researchers, can explain why the lockdowns of the past two years saw a surge in creativity among people stuck at home from banana-bread-making to picking up a paintbrush for the first time since childhood.（例如，如果你觉得没有什么值得看的电视节目，你可以选择关掉它，培养新的爱好。研究人员表示，这可以解释为什么在过去两年的封锁中，到童年以来首次拿起画笔的人们的创造力激增。）”可知，无聊刺激了人们使得人们出现了创造力的激增。故选A。
【30题详解】

【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Feeling a bit bored? It could be just what you need to produce your best ideas, excite your creativity or simply give your brain a rest.（感觉有点无聊?它可能正是你所需要的，让你产生最好的想法，激发你的创造力，或者只是让你的大脑休息一下。）”及全文可知，本文主要介绍了通过一系列的研究实验发现无聊可以激发创造力。所以“Does boredom make us more creative?(无聊让我们更有创造力吗?)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选D。

【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段第二句“While many species new to science are frequently immediately sorted as endangered, it is too early to say whether the starry dwarf frog is threatened.( 虽然许多科学上的新物种经常立即被归类为濒危物种，但现在说星矮蛙是否受到威胁还为时过早)”和第三句“ “They are very secretive,” says Shanker, adding that the team didn’t know the size of its population. (“它们非常神秘”，Shanker说，并补充说研究团队不知道它们的数量。)”可知，新物种常备归类为濒危物种，而且这种新青蛙的数量是未知的，所以他们值得特别的关注。故选C项。

【作文2】Tom noticed the flame was reaching up. Frozen with fear, he stood rooted to the spot. He comprehended the gravity of the situation and held Jane's hand tightly. By then, both of them were coughing and their eyes were stinging. Time seemed to stand still, though they were probably there for only two or three minutes. Tom begged Jane to run for safety as quickly as possible. Jane tried to shield her nose from the choking smoke and shook her head. She kept pounding against the door. Tom burst out crying.
Luckily, some neighbors passing by stopped and of fered help. A sense of strength immediately replaced the mounting fear and anxiety in Jane's mind. She told them Makcik must be still in the room. They forced the door open with all their might. Sure enough, Makcik was lying in bed, unconscious. She was carried downstairs. And then some neighbours rushed her to the hospital, where she finally came to herself. People in the neighbourhood felt relieved. Jane and Tom's joy was immense.

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 champion Li 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
Feeling a bit bored? It could be just what you need to produce your best ideas, excite your creativity or simply give your brain a rest.
Nowadays, in the age of round-the-clock entertainment, it’s technically trickier to be bored. If the show you’re watching has lost its spark, you can easily amuse yourself on social media without even leaving the sofa. But that’s not necessarily a good thing. Feeling disengaged from the task in hand, or a lack of stimulation (刺激), does have its benefits, according to researchers at the University of Central Lancashire.
Being bored motivates you to search out something less boring to do. For example, if you decide there’s nothing worth watching on TV, you might choose to switch off and take up a new hobby. This, according to researchers, can explain why the lockdowns of the past two years saw a surge (激增) in creativity among people stuck at home from banana-bread-making to picking up a paintbrush for the first time since childhood.
But what about those times when you have no choice but to stick with the boring situation, waiting for a bus, for instance? The good news is that the boredom you’re feeling now could spark your creativity later, says a 2019 study published in the Academy of Management Discoveries journal. People who’d taken part in a bean-sorting task later performed better at coming up with creative ideas than another group who’d been given something more interesting to do first.
Ultimately, don’t take it for granted that there’ll always be something close at hand to entertain us. With boredom, we will not run the risk of becoming boring ourselves.
28. What does the author imply in paragraph 2?
A. Wondering mind can be healthy.
B. Social media can surely entertain us.
C. Being bored may be something good.
D. Being involved in the task is beneficial.
29. Why was the surge in creativity seen recently?
A. People were stimulated by boredom.
B. People were better equipped at home.
C. People had more hobbies to choose from.
D. People were more concerned about mental being.
30. What is the purpose of the bean-sorting task in the 2019 study?
A. To create a boring situation. B. To reduce people’s boredom.
C. To make a funny performance. D. To show an entertainment at hand.
31. What is the best title of the passage?
A. What is the point of creativity?
B. Are we more easily bored nowadays?
C. How can we deal with daily boredom?
D. Does boredom make us more creative?
D
A “secretive” new species of frog has been discovered on the forest floor in India’s Western Ghat mountain range. Named the starry dwarf frog after the markings on its dark brown back, it is just 2 centimeters long.
The frog, whose closest relatives are a group of species native to India and Sri Linka, is the only member of an ancient lineage (血统)dating back to millions of years ago, according to researchers from India and the US. It is unclear whether the species is descended from African or Asian frogs.
A group of Indian and US researchers first came across the local species hidden in leaf-litter as part of a wider project to look for new frogs, lizards and snakes in the richly biodiverse region and stored it in a jar for later study. Genetic testing and a closer look at its shape, colouring and other features has shown that it doesn’t match any existing species.Kartik Shanker of the Indian Institute of Science, who helped design the study, says while it is common to find new frogs in India, this one needs to be noticed. “This particular species not just is a new species, but also belongs to a new genus (属), and that makes it a little more special,” says Shanker.
The number of known species of frog identified in India has climbed from around 200 to above 400 over the past two decades. While many species new to science are frequently immediately sorted as endangered, it is too early to say whether the starry dwarf frog is threatened. “They are very secretive,” says Shanker, adding that the team didn’t know the size of its population. The frog is active at night and lives near water.
Habitat loss is a serious risk to frogs in tropical forests around the world, alongside threats such as a deadly fungus(真菌)that has been killing off amphibians(两栖动物)for the past four decades. But the new species was found in a reserved forest, meaning it will enjoy a degree of protection by Indian government agencies.
32. What can we learn from paragraph 3?
A. The species was discovered by tourists.
B. The species was found in a rich region.
C. The species was finally set free.
D. The species was further studied.
33. What can we say about the new frog?
A. It is in small quantities.
B. It is an endangered species.
C. It is well worth attention.
D. It is related to African or Asian frogs.
34. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Habitat loss is the chief threat to frogs.
B. The new species may face less dangers.
C. Tropical forests in India are all under protection.
D. The Indian government determines to save frogs.
35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. A rare frog species protected in India
B. A rise in species of frog seen in India
C. A secretive frog species discovered in India
D. A risk of habitat loss for frogs removed in India
