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 36yearold 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 mentators 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 bined 5057 record against the other three during his career.However, Bollettieri doesnt think that will have any impact on Federers 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.”语篇解读: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。4What does Bollettieri mean by saying he is “in a class of his own”?ARoger is a tennis player second to none.BRoger is a particular favorite of his.CRoger is proud and prefers being alone.DRoger has difficulty getting along with others.解析:选A句意理解题。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。5What can we know about Roger from the passage?AHe is in full charge of his life and career.BHard work is a major factor in his success.CDeep respect develops between him and Tony.DHis greatest achievement is made in his thirties.解析:选B细节理解题。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。6What does the underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refer to?ARogers increased age.BRogers positive attitude.CRogers impressive record.DRogers losing to other famous players.解析:选D代词指代题。根据倒数第二段中的“Along with Andy Murray, they are known as tennisbig four, and Federer has a bined 5057 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。7What does Bollettieri want to stress in the last paragraph?AFailure is nothing to fear.BBeing positive is very important.CEveryone needs to be strongwilled.DAttitude is everything.解析:选B推理判断题。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。C(2019名校原创预测卷二)In the fight to conserve tropical rainforests, heres a tool you dont often hear about: orange peels. Specifically, 12,000 tons of them, dumped (倾倒) on the land. “You dont usually associate waste treatment with biodiversity benefits, something thats good for the environment.”Tim Treuer is an ecologist at Princeton University, and hes talking about a unique conservation story. It started in the early 1990s, when an orange juice producer called Del Oro set up a pany near the Guanacaste Conservation Area in Costa Rica, a region that contains several national parks and a wildlife protection zone.Del Oro needed somewhere to dump the orange peels, and the pany also owned forested land next to the parkland that it had no intention of growing crops on. So a deal was struck: if Del Oro donated its forested land, it could dump orange peel waste on degraded (退化的) land within the conservation area. Then a thousand dump trucks worth of orange peels were lying on the land in 1998. “And within about six months the orange peels had been turned from orange peels into this thick black rich soil.”“I couldnt even find the site the first time I saw it.” He couldnt find it because, over 16 years, the orange peel waste had sent the land on a journey to bee a vinechoked jungle, with three times the diversity of tree species of the neighboring control plot, richer soil and a much thicker covering. In other words, the experiment was a success. The results appear in the journal Restoration Ecology.Treuer says perhaps this lesson could be applied elsewhere. “Its a shame that we live in a world with nutrientlimited degraded ecosystems and also nutrientrich waste streams. Wed like to see those things e together a little bit. Thats not license for any agricultural pany to just start dumping their waste products on protected areas, but it does mean that land managers, people involved with industrialscale agricultural operations should start thinking about ways to do thoughtful experimentation to see if in their particular system they can have similar winwinwin results.”语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了倒在退化土地上的废弃橘子皮竟成了保护热带雨林生物多样性的工具。8What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 refer to?AWaste treatment. BA conservation story.CAn orange juice pany. DThe biodiversity benefit.解析:选B代词指代题。根据第二段中的“Tim Treuer is an ecologist at Princeton University, and hes talking about a unique conservation story”可知,It指代的应是Tim Treuer要讲的有关生态保护的故事。故选B。9What does the author say about orange peels?AThey are particularly hard to break down.BThey can change the color of the land soil.CThey are beneficial to biological diversity.DThey can gradually destroy the surface soil.解析:选C细节理解题。根据第一段中的“You dont usually associate waste treatment with biodiversity benefits, something thats good for the environment”和第四段中的“with three times the diversity of tree species of the neighboring control plot, richer soil and a much thicker covering”可知,橘子皮对生物多样性是有益的。故选C。10What do Treuers words in the last paragraph suggest?AWaste can be used for environmental protection.BNo waste can be thrown randomly on the protected areas.CLargescale agricultural operations start with experiments.DLand managers must be ready to take on their responsibility.解析:选A推理判断题。根据最后一段中Treuer所说的话,尤其是“Its a shame that we live in a world with nutrientlimited degraded ecosystems and also nutrientrich waste streams. Wed like to see those things e together a little bit”可知,Treuer认为,我们生活在一个营养受限的、退化的生态系统中,同时却有许多营养成分丰富的、泛滥成灾的废弃物,我们想看到这些东西能一点点地整合利用起来。再结合文章的主旨可知,Treuer认为我们可以利用废弃物来保护环境。故选A。11What might be the best title for the passage?AHow to Deal with Orange PeelsBHow to Improve the Degraded LandCA Fruitful Experiment in Land ConservationDWays to Protect Tropical Forests Effectively解析:选C标题归纳题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了Del Oro的公司将废弃的橘子皮倒在保护区内退化的土地上后产生的令人意想不到的结果:保护了该地区生物的多样性,使得该地区土壤更加肥沃,植被更加茂密。故C项作本文标题最佳。D(2019贵阳监测)A new library in Tianjin Tianjin Binhai Public Library recently became an online hit. The Daily Mail described it as the “worlds ultimate (终极的) library”, while the word “breathtaking” was the choice of Newsweek magazine. One look at the library and youll see why. With its futuristic (未来派的) design and walls loaded with books, its the dream library of every book lover.But as the surprise continues, theres a burning question lying in the back of our minds: When physical bookstores are closing down one by one, what makes libraries safe from the wave of digitization (数字化)? And do we really still need libraries now that weve got the Internet in our hands?Reporter Ian Clark has the answer. “Libraries are not declining in importance people are simply changing the way they use them,” he wrote on The Guardian website.What Clark means is that libraries have shifted from simply being storehouses of books to a medium to help “bridge the gap between the haves and the havenots”, according to website Libraries Are Essential. Since not everyone can afford a smartphone, a tablet or an Internet connection, and not everyone has the knowhow to search the Internet correctly and efficiently, its public libraries that make sure that these resources and technologies are available to a larger group of people.“Nobody is trying to sell you anything in the library. There is no pressure to buy and there is no judgment of your choices,” Anne Goulding, a professor at Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand, wrote on the Newsroom website. “There are few other spaces that you can just be in without somebody questioning your presence or your motivation.”语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文,主要说明了在数字化时代,图书馆存在的原因。12What cause book lovers to like Tianjin Binhai Public Library?ABreathtaking magazines.
