Ⅰ. 阅读理解

Famous tennis coach Nick Bollettieri considered tennis star Roger Federer the greatest player of all time, saying he is “in a class of his own”. The Swiss maestro(大师) won his record eighth Wimbledon title this month, defeating Croatian Marin Cilic in the final, and going to the entire tournament without dropping a single set.

The 36－year－old now has 19 Grand Slam titles, the most in history for a male tennis player. Bollettieri, who has coached some of the most successful tennis players ever including Andre Agassi and Jim Courier, believes Federer stands out from the rest due to all the efforts he makes on and off the court. “When you get to know the greatest player of all time, I believe you will join with many commentators in saying Roger is standing in a class of his own，” Bollettieri told Saturday Sport. “He is magnificent (出色的) in expecting what to do. He has improved his backhand and also he is hitting the ball much earlier, and he is one of, if not the best placement server in the game.”

His management team headed by Tony Godsick takes care of his mind and body, time with his family, time with his foundation and time with rest. He also respects the game and his opponents (对手). Despite his impressive record, Federer has struggled against the other top players of this generation, including Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. Along with Andy Murray, they are known as tennis' “big four”， and Federer has a combined 50－57 record against the other three during his career.

However, Bollettieri doesn't think that will have any impact on Federer's greatness if he keeps on playing the way he is at his age. Bollettieri said, “Age is only a number. It is how you feel inside you. I believe a lot of people today can do a lot better if their mindset is to say I will get better every day and never use the word ‘retirement’. When you worry about losing, it is more difficult to win.”

1. What does Bollettieri mean by saying he is “in a class of his own”？

A. Roger is a tennis player second to none.

B. Roger is a particular favorite of his.

C. Roger is proud and prefers being alone.

D. Roger has difficulty getting along with others.

2. What can we know about Roger from the passage?

A. He is in full charge of his life and career.

B. Hard work is a major factor in his success.

C. Deep respect develops between him and Tony.

D. His greatest achievement is made in his thirties.

3. What does the underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refer to?

A. Roger's increased age.

B. Roger's positive attitude.

C. Roger's impressive record.

D. Roger's losing to other famous players.

4. What does Bollettieri want to stress in the last paragraph?

A. Failure is nothing to fear.

B. Being positive is very important.

C. Everyone needs to be strong－willed.

D. Attitude is everything.

答案与解析

【文章大意】　本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了著名网球运动员Roger Federer的成就及他在球场内外的努力。

1. 答案　A

解析　考查句意理解。根据第一段中的“Famous tennis coach Nick Bollettieri considered tennis star Roger Federer the greatest player of all time”以及下文Bollettieri对Roger的表现的肯定可推知，“in a class of his own”指的是Roger的水平在网球领域是一流的，也就是说Roger是个无与伦比的网球运动员。故选A项。

2. 答案　B

解析　考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“Bollettieri ... believes Federer stands out from the rest due to all the efforts he makes on and off the court”可知，Bollettieri认为，Roger能比其他人优秀，这都归功于他在球场内外的努力，即刻苦努力是Roger成功的一个重要因素。故选B项。

3. 答案　D

解析　考查代词指代。根据倒数第二段中的“Along with Andy Murray, they are known as tennis' ‘big four’， and Federer has a combined 50－57 record against the other three during his career”可知，Federer曾经在对战另外三个著名运动员的大部分比赛中输给了他们；再结合画线词所在句可推知，但是Bollettieri并不认为这会对Roger的伟大造成任何影响。由此可知，that指的应是这件事。故选D项。

4. 答案　B

解析　考查推理判断。根据最后一段的内容，尤其是“I believe a lot of people today can do a lot better if their mindset is to say I will get better every day and never use the word‘retirement’. When you worry about losing, it is more difficult to win”可知，如果人们能保持积极的心态，那么他们可能会做得更好；如果你担心自己会失败，那么你就更难成功。由此可知，积极的心态是很重要的。故选B项。

答案与解析

【文章大意】　本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过女儿买房这件事领悟到对别人应该少说“BUT”，多说“AND”。

5. 答案　C

解析　此处表示“亲爱的，我很高兴你找到了你喜欢的东西，但是，考虑到油价，难道你不觉得你可能需要买一所靠近你工作的地方的房子吗？”前后句之间存在转折关系，故用but。

10. 答案　B

解析　根据上文中的“stuck a needle into a balloon”并结合常识可知，用针扎了气球后，气球会慢慢地变瘪，此处意在突出女儿逐渐变得失落。slowly“慢慢地”符合语境。suddenly“突然地”；occasionally“偶尔”；randomly“任意地”。

11. 答案　B

答案与解析

【文章大意】　本文是一篇说明文，介绍西瓜的特点、种植历史及食用价值。

1. 答案　where

解析　考查定语从句。事实上，西瓜原产于非洲南部，在那里，野生的西瓜种类非常丰富。分析句子结构可知，空处在此引导非限制性定语从句，且在从句中作地点状语，先行词是Southern Africa，故填where。

2. 答案　abundance

解析　考查名词。根据空前的“are in the greatest”可知，此处应填名词。abundance“充裕；丰富”。

3. 答案　were planted

解析　考查动词的时态和语态。根据句中的时间状语“roughly 1，000 years ago”可知，此处描述发生在过去的事情，应用一般过去时；且They与plant之间是被动关系，应用被动语态。故填were planted。

4. 答案　specifically

解析　考查副词。应用副词修饰动词。specifically“特定地；专门地”。

5. 答案　resulting

解析　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，result与其逻辑主语之间是主谓关系，故此处应用现在分词作结果状语。

6. 答案　effective

解析　考查形容词。西瓜在降低体温和血压方面很有效。空处在句中作表语，故填形容词effective“产生预期结果的；有效的”。

7. 答案　regions

解析　考查名词复数。热带地区的许多人在夏季的每天下午都吃西瓜。region“地区；区域”是可数名词，且其前无限定词修饰，故应用其复数形式。

8. 答案　it

解析　考查代词。在印度，你会发现在夏季几乎每条街道上都有人在卖西瓜。空处指代上文中的“this fruit”，故填it。

9. 答案　contained

解析　考查非谓语动词。西瓜中含有的大量水分也能促使你的身体以汗的形式排出体内多余的液体。contain与其逻辑主语The high amount of water之间是动宾关系，故应用过去分词作后置定语。

10. 答案　in

解析　考查介词。in the form of“以……的形式”，是固定用法。

Ⅳ. 短文改错

“A true friend is a source of strength and hope” is a saying tells us that everyone needs friends, especially those which challenge us to be excellent and confidence.

I can well remember the time when I failed in several exam, which upset me so much that I couldn't focus on study any more. Fortunate, my friend Kris came to cheer her up. She said, “In no way should you give up. Keep doing or you will succeed.” Day by day she stays with me, helping my study. Now I'm excited to find I have made a great progress.

Kris is really a true friend. As the old saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. Let's be true friends to each other.

答案与解析

1. 答案　第一处：tells→telling

解析　分析句子结构可知，句中的谓语动词是is，此处应是非谓语动词形式。tell与其逻辑主语saying之间是主谓关系，故用现在分词作后置定语。

2. 答案　第二处：which→who/that

解析　分析句子结构可知，此处引导定语从句，且在从句中作主语，先行词是those，指人，故用who或者that。

3. 答案　第三处：confidence→confident

解析　尤其是那些激励我们变得优秀、有信心的人。此处在句中和excellent并列作be的表语，应用形容词。confident“有信心的”。

4. 答案　第四处：exam→exams

解析　“我”还记得“我”好几次考试都不及格的那个时候。根据句中的“several”以及exam作“考试”讲时是可数名词可知，此处应用其复数形式exams。

5. 答案　第五处：Fortunate→Fortunately

解析　幸运的是，“我”的朋友Kris来帮助“我”使“我”振作起来。此处在句中作状语，修饰整个句子，应用副词。fortunately“幸运的是”。

6. 答案　第六处：her→me

解析　此处指的是Kris来鼓励“我”，故应用me。

7. 答案　第七处：or→and

解析　继续做下去，你会成功的。此处考查的是“祈使句＋and/or＋陈述句”结构，前后句之间是顺承关系，故用and。

8. 答案　第八处：stays→stayed

解析　根据语境可知，此处是在陈述发生在过去的事情，应用一般过去时。

9. 答案　第九处：helping后加with

解析　help(sb.)with sth.“帮助(某人)做某事”，是固定搭配。

10. 答案　第十处：删去great前的a

解析　progress是不可数名词，其前不能用不定冠词修饰。make great progress“取得巨大进步”。
