World number one Ashleigh Barty surprised tennis on Wednesday by announcing her retirement (退役) from the sport aged just 25, saying she had realized her dreams and was “spent physically”.
Barty dropped the bombshell weeks after becoming the first home Australian Open champion in 44 years and so winning a Grand Slam (大满贯) crown on three different surfaces.
In a tearful social media video message with her close friend and former doubles partner Casey Dellacqua, Barty said she was “so ready” to call it an end after achieving her life-time goal to win Wimbledon last year.
“Success for me is knowing that I’ve given absolutely everything I can. I know how much work it takes to bring the best out of yourself,” said the three-time Grand Slam winner.
She began playing tennis as a child in the Queensland state capital Brisbane and went on to win the junior Wimbledon title as a 15-year-old in 2011.
But the expectations that came with success hurt her badly and she made a shock decision three years later to ditch (放弃) tennis for cricket, signing for Brisbane Heat in the Women’s Big Bash League.
The attraction of tennis was never far away and she returned after a season out, breaking through for her first Grand Slam triumph (胜利) at the French Open in 2019 and becoming Australia’s first women’s world number one since Evonne Cawley 50 years ago.
Barty finally won a Wimbledon crown last year before her Australian Open triumph at Melbourne Park in January, storming back from 5—1 down in the second set against American Danielle Collins.
Barty has been world number one for more than two years and said after her Australian Open win that she wanted time to consider her next move.
24. Why did Ashleigh Barty retire from tennis
A. Her partner advised her to do so. B. Her final dream had come true.
C. She wanted to turn to other sports. D. She got tired of social media messages.
25. When did Ashleigh Barty join the Women’s Big Bash League
A. In 2010. B. In 2011. C. In 2014. D. In 2019.
26. What is the best title for the text
A. Ashleigh Barty’s Early Retirement B. An Introduction to Australian Open
C. Casey Dellacqua’s Life-time Goal D. The Benefits of Playing Tennis
27. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear

【答案】24. B 25. C 26. A 27. D

Today was my first day at senior high and it was hard. In high school, you have 4 minutes to get to your next class. My high school is very big and the 4 minutes to go from one class to another isn’t really a lot of time even for a quick boy like me. Today, I had to go from one end of the building to the other to get from science class to math class. I wanted to go to my locker first and leave my science book there, but that took time. I was worried about being late, and I was. The math teacher said, “Just be on time tomorrow, or you’ll have detention(放学后留校).”
After math, I went to art class. I like my art class a lot because I get to create things. The teacher showed us how to make portraits (肖像). He explained, “A portrait is a way of communicating with a person. It does not just show how the person looks but what is important to understand the person.” We just did drawings today, but I know it’s going to be great. I like drawing.
I like my English class, too. I think the teacher is really supportive. Today, we wrote about ourselves. The teacher asked us to just write what we thought, and we would pay attention to punctuation(标点符号) later. We could write a paragraph or a poem, and I wrote a poem about myself. I thought it was a good one, and the teacher said I had used good images to communicate my feelings.
Lunch was very hurried. I arrived at the dining room with 12 minutes to eat. I sat with students I didn’t know, and everyone was eating quickly. After lunch, I signed up for a computer club. I need to learn how to use a computer well because my social studies teacher says it’s a skill we need in every class.

Trust me, you don’t want to get caught under a tsunami! Tsunamis are one of the world’s most powerful natural forces. They can cause huge amounts of damage.
But do you know exactly what a tsunami is They are huge, powerful waves in the ocean that grow as they reach the shore. Most tsunamis are actually caused by earthquakes. An earthquake happens when a big piece of the Earth’s crust (地壳) suddenly moves. When the piece of ocean floor moves, it creates big holes. The water floods in to fill these holes. When the water moves that quickly, it creates a huge wave. This is how tsunamis are born!
Other natural disasters like landslides, volcanic eruptions, and glaciers breaking off can also cause tsunamis. Once the water starts moving because of the force of the disaster, large waves begin to spread. These waves can move very fast. They have been recorded at speeds from 400 up to 500 miles per hour! They can also move across very long distances.
At first, the waves of the tsunami may not seem that tall. That’s because when the waves travel through the deep parts of the ocean, the top of each wave is very short. But as that wave comes near to the coast, it grows in height. Remember, the tsunami travels quickly. If you are sitting on a beach, you may not see the wave coming at first. But when the wave arrives, it will be like a towering wall of water. Some waves are as tall as 100 feet high. The biggest tsunami ever recorded happened in 1958 in Lituya Bay, Alaska. The wave was over 1, 720 feet tall, and it wiped out trees, vegetation, and everything else in its way.
As frightening as tsunamis can be, you don’t need to worry too much about them. They don’t happen that often. Only about two tsunamis happen every year. And it is said that serious, really damaging tsunamis only happen about every fifteen years. So don’t worry.
32. According to the article, which natural disaster is not responsible for causing a tsunami
A. Tornadoes. B. Volcanic eruptions. C. Earthquakes. D. Landslides.
33. If a tsunami forms in the deep ocean, 2, 000 miles off the coast of Sri Lanka, how long at least will it take the tsunami to reach the coast of SriLanka
A. 1 hours. B. 2 hours. C. 4 hours. D. 6 hours.
34. Which of the following about tsunami is TRUE
A. The waves of the tsunami always move slowly over a long distance.
B. People on a ship in the deep ocean will notice a tsunami at once as soon as it forms.
C. If you are sitting on a beach, you must see the wave coming at first.
D. People will not notice a tsunami until it gets close to the coast.
35. Where would this passage most likely to be found
A. In a music magazine. B. In a science newspaper.
C. In a travel guide. D. In a story book.
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了世界上最强大的自然力量之一——海啸，介绍了其相关信息，产生原因和摧毁能力等。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Other natural disasters like landslides, volcanic eruptions, and glaciers breaking off can also cause tsunamis. (其他自然灾害，如山体滑坡、火山爆发和冰川断裂也会引发海啸。)”可知，山体滑坡、火山爆发和冰川断裂都会引发海啸。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“They have been recorded at speeds from 400 up to 500 miles per hour! They can also move across very long distances.( 它们的速度从每小时400英里到500英里不等！它们也可以移动很长的距离。)”可知，海啸的速度最快为500英里每小时，由此判断，如果海啸在离斯里兰卡海岸2000英里的深海中形成，那么海啸至少需要：2000÷500=4小时才能到达斯里兰卡海岸。故选C。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“If you are sitting on a beach, you may not see the wave coming at first. But when the wave arrives, it will be like a towering wall of water. (如果你坐在沙滩上，一开始你可能看不到海浪。但当波浪到来时，它将像一座高耸的水墙。有些海浪高达100英尺。)”可知，如果人们坐在沙滩上，一开始并不能看到海啸，直到波浪到来。故选D。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Trust me, you don’t want to get caught under a tsunami! Tsunamis are one of the world’s most powerful natural forces. They can cause huge amounts of damage. (相信我，你不会想被海啸困住的!海啸是世界上最强大的自然力量之一。它们会造成巨大的伤害。)”、第二段“But do you know exactly what a tsunami is They are huge, powerful waves in the ocean that grow as they reach the shore. (但是你知道海啸到底是什么吗？)”、第四段“At first, the waves of the tsunami may not seem that tall. (起初，海啸的波浪似乎没有那么高。)”以及最后一段“As frightening as tsunamis can be, you don’t need to worry too much about them. They don’t happen that often. Only about two tsunamis happen every year. And it is said that serious, really damaging tsunamis only happen about every fifteen years. So don’t worry. (虽然海啸很可怕，但你不必太过担心。这种事不常发生。每年大约只发生两次海啸。据说，严重的、真正具有破坏性的海啸大约每15年才发生一次。所以不用担心。)”可知，文章主要介绍了海啸的相关知识，由此判断，本文最有可能摘自科学杂志。故选B。

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。
Long long ago, there was a little prince who was used to having everything he wanted. He was so badly behaved that he wouldn’t let anybody have a new toy if he didn’t have it first. If any child in the land wanted a new toy, they had to buy two and give one to him. Therefore, the little prince had no friends except for his toys.
One day a magic toymaker, who invented the most wonderful toys, came to the land. The little prince liked his toys so much that he invited him to spend an entire year in the palace, promising him great wealth if he made him a new toy every day. The toymaker set just one condition: “My toys are very special and need an owner who will play with them” he said. “Will you be able to devote a little time to each one every day ” “Of course, I will” the little prince replied impatiently.
From then on, every morning the little prince received a new toy. Every day the toymaker delivered a toy better than the previous ones. The little prince appeared very happy.
But the toy collection kept growing and, after a few weeks there were simply too many toys to play with all of them every day. So, one day the little prince put a few toys to one side, hoping that the toymaker wouldn’t notice. However, when it was night time and he was ready to go to bed. The toys that had been put away lined up in front of him and, one by one, demanded their daily playtime. The little prince couldn’t get to sleep until well past midnight because he had to play with every single toy.
Next day, tired after all his efforts, the prince slept very late. In the little time left of the day, he had to get to know a new toy and then play with all the others too. Once again, he finished very late and was so tired he could hardly stop yawning (打哈欠).
注意：

Every day was a little bit worse than the one before, with the same amount of time but one extra toy to play with.

The children saw the prince, wondering whether the prince would force them to hand over their toys just like before.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Every day was a little bit worse than the one before, with the same amount of time but one extra toy to play with. Tired and sleepy, the prince hardly had time to enjoy playing. Worse still, the toys were getting more and more angry because the time he spent playing with them was becoming shorter and shorter. He only had time to go from one toy to another, eating as he played, talking as he played and even sleeping as he played. Tiredness and loneliness captured him, just like a terrible dream. One day, he saw out of his window some children playing with toys next to the palace. He decided to walk to them.
The children saw the prince, wondering whether the prince would force them to hand over their toys just like before. But the prince didn’t want the toys. Surprisingly, he only wanted them to play with him and share his toys. He did the same thing every day and invited more children to the castle to share his toys. The prince could enjoy himself without having too many toys to play with. Even better, he made new friends. When it was time for the toymaker to leave, the 365 fantastic toys he made were shared and the palace turned into the best playroom for the prince and his friends.

World number one Ashleigh Barty surprised tennis on Wednesday by announcing her retirement (退役) from the sport aged just 25, saying she had realized her dreams and was “spent physically”.
Barty dropped the bombshell weeks after becoming the first home Australian Open champion in 44 years and so winning a Grand Slam (大满贯) crown on three different surfaces.
In a tearful social media video message with her close friend and former doubles partner Casey Dellacqua, Barty said she was “so ready” to call it an end after achieving her life-time goal to win Wimbledon last year.
“Success for me is knowing that I’ve given absolutely everything I can. I know how much work it takes to bring the best out of yourself,” said the three-time Grand Slam winner.
She began playing tennis as a child in the Queensland state capital Brisbane and went on to win the junior Wimbledon title as a 15-year-old in 2011.
But the expectations that came with success hurt her badly and she made a shock decision three years later to ditch (放弃) tennis for cricket, signing for Brisbane Heat in the Women’s Big Bash League.

Today was my first day at senior high and it was hard. In high school, you have 4 minutes to get to your next class. My high school is very big and the 4 minutes to go from one class to another isn’t really a lot of time even for a quick boy like me. Today, I had to go from one end of the building to the other to get from science class to math class. I wanted to go to my locker first and leave my science book there, but that took time. I was worried about being late, and I was. The math teacher said, “Just be on time tomorrow, or you’ll have detention(放学后留校).”
After math, I went to art class. I like my art class a lot because I get to create things. The teacher showed us how to make portraits (肖像). He explained, “A portrait is a way of communicating with a person. It does not just show how the person looks but what is important to understand the person.” We just did drawings today, but I know it’s going to be great. I like drawing.
I like my English class, too. I think the teacher is really supportive. Today, we wrote about ourselves. The teacher asked us to just write what we thought, and we would pay attention to punctuation(标点符号) later. We could write a paragraph or a poem, and I wrote a poem about myself. I thought it was a good one, and the teacher said I had used good images to communicate my feelings.
Lunch was very hurried. I arrived at the dining room with 12 minutes to eat. I sat with students I didn’t know, and everyone was eating quickly. After lunch, I signed up for a computer club. I need to learn how to use a computer well because my social studies teacher says it’s a skill we need in every class.

Trust me, you don’t want to get caught under a tsunami! Tsunamis are one of the world’s most powerful natural forces. They can cause huge amounts of damage.
But do you know exactly what a tsunami is They are huge, powerful waves in the ocean that grow as they reach the shore. Most tsunamis are actually caused by earthquakes. An earthquake happens when a big piece of the Earth’s crust (地壳) suddenly moves. When the piece of ocean floor moves, it creates big holes. The water floods in to fill these holes. When the water moves that quickly, it creates a huge wave. This is how tsunamis are born!
Other natural disasters like landslides, volcanic eruptions, and glaciers breaking off can also cause tsunamis. Once the water starts moving because of the force of the disaster, large waves begin to spread. These waves can move very fast. They have been recorded at speeds from 400 up to 500 miles per hour! They can also move across very long distances.
At first, the waves of the tsunami may not seem that tall. That’s because when the waves travel through the deep parts of the ocean, the top of each wave is very short. But as that wave comes near to the coast, it grows in height. Remember, the tsunami travels quickly. If you are sitting on a beach, you may not see the wave coming at first. But when the wave arrives, it will be like a towering wall of water. Some waves are as tall as 100 feet high. The biggest tsunami ever recorded happened in 1958 in Lituya Bay, Alaska. The wave was over 1, 720 feet tall, and it wiped out trees, vegetation, and everything else in its way.
As frightening as tsunamis can be, you don’t need to worry too much about them. They don’t happen that often. Only about two tsunamis happen every year. And it is said that serious, really damaging tsunamis only happen about every fifteen years. So don’t worry.
32. According to the article, which natural disaster is not responsible for causing a tsunami
A. Tornadoes. B. Volcanic eruptions. C. Earthquakes. D. Landslides.
33. If a tsunami forms in the deep ocean, 2, 000 miles off the coast of Sri Lanka, how long at least will it take the tsunami to reach the coast of SriLanka
A. 1 hours. B. 2 hours. C. 4 hours. D. 6 hours.
34. Which of the following about tsunami is TRUE
A. The waves of the tsunami always move slowly over a long distance.
B. People on a ship in the deep ocean will notice a tsunami at once as soon as it forms.
C. If you are sitting on a beach, you must see the wave coming at first.
D. People will not notice a tsunami until it gets close to the coast.
35. Where would this passage most likely to be found
A. In a music magazine. B. In a science newspaper.
C. In a travel guide. D. In a story book.

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。
Long long ago, there was a little prince who was used to having everything he wanted. He was so badly behaved that he wouldn’t let anybody have a new toy if he didn’t have it first. If any child in the land wanted a new toy, they had to buy two and give one to him. Therefore, the little prince had no friends except for his toys.
One day a magic toymaker, who invented the most wonderful toys, came to the land. The little prince liked his toys so much that he invited him to spend an entire year in the palace, promising him great wealth if he made him a new toy every day. The toymaker set just one condition: “My toys are very special and need an owner who will play with them” he said. “Will you be able to devote a little time to each one every day ” “Of course, I will” the little prince replied impatiently.
From then on, every morning the little prince received a new toy. Every day the toymaker delivered a toy better than the previous ones. The little prince appeared very happy.
But the toy collection kept growing and, after a few weeks there were simply too many toys to play with all of them every day. So, one day the little prince put a few toys to one side, hoping that the toymaker wouldn’t notice. However, when it was night time and he was ready to go to bed. The toys that had been put away lined up in front of him and, one by one, demanded their daily playtime. The little prince couldn’t get to sleep until well past midnight because he had to play with every single toy.
Next day, tired after all his efforts, the prince slept very late. In the little time left of the day, he had to get to know a new toy and then play with all the others too. Once again, he finished very late and was so tired he could hardly stop yawning (打哈欠).

Every day was a little bit worse than the one before, with the same amount of time but one extra toy to play with.

The children saw the prince, wondering whether the prince would force them to hand over their toys just like before.
