On February 13, 2023, Wu Yibing made history, beating John Isner in a thrilling three-set final at the Dallas Open to become the first man from China to win an ATP title.
Brought to a tennis court for the first time at just five, originally encouraged by his parents as an exercise to lose weight, Wu soon had his talent discovered by his provincial junior team, starting a journey that would change the face of men's tennis in China. In 2017, Wu Yibing shot to prominence after winning the US Open boys' tournament(锦标赛) at 18 to become the first Chinese to win a major junior title, raising high hopes for the “Wonder Boy” to change the fortune of Chinese men in a sport long dominated(支配)by women's success on the pro(职业的)stage.
In 2018, Wu won his first ATP Challenger title in Shanghai. However, the bitterly competitive nature of men's pro tennis hit the rising Wu with a tough reminder after multiple injuries—to his elbow, lower back, shoulder and wrist—forced him to be away from the ATP Tour for close to three years.
He made his return last year and won three ATP Challenger titles before qualifying(获得资格)for the US Open. “Looking back, I feel like I wouldn't have been here if not for the ups and downs over the past few years. I take all the hardships and struggles as an asset(资产) that helps me mature mentally now,” said Wu. “Of course there were a lot of doubts because I had operations and the recovery wasn't going well. The championship today was a payoff for all the hard work and everyone who's supported me along the way.”
24. What do the underlined words “shot to prominence” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Lost weight. B. Came back to the top.
C. Became famous instantly. D. Dropped out of the competition.
25. Why was Wu absent from the ATP Tour for nearly three years
A. He wanted to change his career.
B. He suffered from serious physical injuries.
C. He didn't standout in training for the match.
D. He can't deal with the pressure of the ATP Tour.
26. What can we learn from Wu Yibing’s statement
A. No cross, no crown (王冠). B. Well begun is half done.
C. More haste (匆忙), less speed. D. Time waits for no man.
27. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. The Development of Chinese Tennis
B. The Power of Difficulties for Athletes
C. The Pioneer of Chinese Tennis Sport
D. The First Chinese Male Winner of ATP Title
C
Hundreds of friends on Facebook can't replace a handful (少数) of close friends in real life, a study has found. In a recent study, researchers discovered that people with only a few friends were at least as happy as those with far more if many of theirs were online.
Social media, the researchers said, has encouraged younger people to have larger but more impersonal networks of “friends”. But instead of trying to amass friends, they added, a better cure for loneliness might be spending time with those you're closest to. Scientists from the University of Leeds did their study using data from two online surveys on l, 496 people by an on-profit research organization. People taking part in the study showed their ages, the make-up of their social networks, how often they had different types of social interactions(相互影响), and their own feelings of well-being. They included details of how often and how they interacted(交流) with families or neighbors, and whether they included people who provided services to them in their networks.
The number of close friends someone had appeared to be the only thing which influenced how satisfied they were with their social life.
“Loneliness has less to do with the number of friends you have, and more to do with how you feel about your friends,” said Dr Wandi Bruine de Bruin. Actually, it's often the younger adults who admit to having a bad opinion of their friends.
If you feel lonely, it may be more helpful to make a positive connection with a friend than to try and seek out new people to meet.
28. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “amass” in Paragraph 2
A. Play the role of. B. Think highly of.
C. Take advantage of. D. Increase the number of.
29. What can be learned from the scientists' study
A. Scientists did one online survey on 1,496 people.
B. People surveyed mentioned new forms of social networks.
C. People surveyed showed their ways to interact with families.
D. The number of friends was the only cause of people's happiness.
30. What makes people happy in social life
A. Living alone. B. Having close friends.
C. Having good appearance. D. Making as many friends as possible.
31. What's the author's purpose in writing the text
A. To advise us to make friends online.
B. To show us the importance of friends.
C. To present us with the findings of a study.
D. To tell us the problems causes by loneliness.
D
Some people say global English is no longer just controlled by British or American English, but is running free and developing uniquely local forms. Can you figure out the following terms
“I like your smile, but unlike you put your shoes on my face.” This is a way of saying “Keep off the grass.” Or people mountain, people sea”, which means' very crowded”.
These examples are what we call Chinglish. When it comes to Chinglish, if all you know is good good study, day day up”, you will be considered out man”.
Nowadays, more Chinglish words have been created, for example, a Chinese idiom is translated as “smilence”, a combination by the English words mile and silence.
Chinglish usually offers a humorous look at misuses(滥用)of the English language in Chinese street signs, products, and advertising. They are favoured by some English speaking tourists and visitors. Dominic Swire has been living in Beijing for a couple of years. “I think many Chinese people complain about the Chinglish and badly translated English. But you know, sometimes for us foreigners, it's actually quite charming to see them. I think if the translations of English in China were all perfect, then something would be lost from Chinese culture.”
However, Chinglish will probably become a cultural relic in the near future. Beijing has made a comprehensive plan to improve foreign language services and correct
Chinglish within five years. “It is very ridiculous(可笑的)to see Chinglish on the signs in some scenic spots. And they area kind of barrier for communication between Chinese and people from other countries,” a Beijinger said.
Some Chinese university experts side with(支持) Chinglish. They argue that English has absorbed elements from other languages such as French and Spanish in its growth, and now it's Chinese's turn.
32. What can we call Chinglish
A. English words which get new Chinese meanings.
B. The Chinese words which are difficult to translate.
C. The words combining English vocabulary and Chinese grammar.
D. The local words preventing foreigners from learning Chinese well.
33. What does “smilence” most probably mean
A. Saying nothing but to smile. B. Smiling without being noticed.
C. Laughing at somebody. D. Knowing little about speech.
34. What is Swire's attitude to Chinglish
A. It can show the humour of Chinese. B. It will attract more foreign tourists.
C. It helps him to learn Chinese well. D. It seems part of Chinese culture.
35. Why Chinglish is likely to become a “cultural relic” in Beijing
A. Because it has become a unique bridge between Chinese and English.
B. Because Chinglish is a chance to enrich Chinese and English.
C. Because it improves the understanding between Chinese and foreigners.
D. Because Beijing is determined to get rid of Chinglish signs.

Travelling is a very enjoyable experience as it provides an opportunity to see new things. 36 The following article discusses the advantages of traveling.

67.阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
Peter woke up early in the morning. He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have his breakfast as quickly as possible.
“Why are you in such a hurry, early bird ” Mum asked him. “We will have an English spelling test today, Mum,” Peter said. “Mr. White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100 scores. I've been studying the wordlist since last week. Although the words are difficult, I am well prepared for them.”
Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when Dad drove him to school. At last it was time for the students to have a test. “Responsibility,” Mr. White started. Peter wrote it on his test paper quickly and confidently.
“The second word: contribution,” Mr. White said.
“So easy,” Peter thought. He quickly wrote the word down.
Thirty words later, the test papers were collected by Mr. White. “I am to mark your papers now,” he told the class. After marking the test papers, Mr. White said, “Three of you won a prize today for excellent test scores. Peter, David and Mary got full marks on the spelling test!”
Mr. White praised them. Meanwhile, he gave the three students each a dictionary. Peter's was an English-Chinese dictionary—the one he liked best. Peter was so excited that he held it high when his classmates cheered. “This is my happiest moment,” Peter thought.
After Mr. White gave the test paperback, Peter had a look at the words, feeling proud of his spelling. All of a sudden, the word “contribusion” confused him. It didn’t seem right. Peter began to compare them after taking out the wordlist.
“C-O-N-T-R-I-B-U-S-I-O-N,” he whispered. He spelled it wrong.
“What am I to do ” Peter said to himself. “I expect my classmates to think I'm a master at spelling. If I tell Mr. White one of my spelling words is wrong, I'll have to give my prize back, or I will become an example for telling a lie.”
Staring at the full marks written on his test paper, Peter was lost in thought. After a while, he remembered a lesson Mum used to teach him, “We ought to be an honest person.”
Paragraph l:
Slowly, Peter raised his hand.
Paragraph 2:
Peter looked around.

Dear Li Ming,
My name is Li Hua, one of your classmates. Welcome to this new class. I'm writing this letter to tell you something about it.
It is normal that you feel uncomfortable now because you've just entered a new environment where teachers and classmates are new to you. Another reason why you feel uneasy could be that you still need some time to adapt to the new class and maybe you're a little shy to communicate with others In my opinion, you can talk with people around you, and be brave to ask them questions that you don't know.
Of course, you can always turn to me for help whenever you need it. I'm sure that you will get used to this new place soon.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

Paragraph 1:
Slowly, Peter raised his hand. “Mr. White, I didn't get full marks on the test. I made a mistake.” He stood up and handed his teacher the dictionary he liked best and his test paper, “I spelled contribution with ‘s-i’ instead of ‘t-i’.” Peter could feel his classmates looking at him with surprise a she walked back to his desk. Mr. White held up Peter's test paper. “Class,” he said, “Peter did something even more important than spelling every word correctly on a test.” Mr. White smiled at Peter, “He taught us all a lesson on being honest.”
Paragraph 2:
Peter looked around. He found many of his classmates were smiling at him. “Peter, I want you to have this dictionary because you set a good example for all of us,” Mr. White said. Peter took the dictionary from his teacher and expressed his thanks to Mr. White. Meanwhile, he couldn't wait to show it to Mum and tell her one of his best days ever.
