    About a year ago，if you had asked who Dinara Safina was，the answer would have been，“She is Marat Safin’s younger sister.” She was overshadowed by her wonder brother.But now she has made a name for herself：the world No.1 player in women’s tennis.
    The 22­year­old Russian overtook Serena Williams of the US for top ranking on April 20.“Before，every place I go，I am Marat’s sister.Nothing else，”she told New York Times.“I always wanted to be myself，and now finally the results come，and people can know me as Dinara Safina.”
    Safina has made it to two great event finals，in the 2008 French and in the 2009 Australian Open，and won a silver medal in the Beijing Olympic Games.
    Clearly，family isn’t the only connection Safina and her brother share.Their DNA burns with competitive fire.Safin has held the distinction for years of being a hottempered player on court.When he lost his temper，he would smash a racket (球拍)．Safina is as emotionally explosive as her brother.A headline in the newspaper The Australian once described her as “mad as a snake”．The Sydney Morning Herald，during the Australian Open，summed up Safina’s volatile (不稳定的) emotional state with the headline—Safina goes from basket case to top of the world.
    It’s not rare for a family to have two top tennis players.Safina’s father owns a tennis academy and her mother worked as a coach.“I had no choice but to become a tennis player，but I don’t mind being a tennis player，” Safina said.
    From this talented family she is also given one of her best weapons on court，her size.She is 1.82 meters tall and weighs 70kg.But it is hard work that led her to her recent success.
    “I hope to prove to everyone over the coming months that I deserve the honor of being world No.1，”she said.
    小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
    A．How Safina came first in women’s tennis.
    B．How the parents taught Safina to play tennis.
    C．How her brother helped Safina play tennis.
    D．How Safina beat her brother in playing tennis.
    小题2:Which one of the following doesn’t contribute to Safina’s success?
    A．Her hard work and strong competitiveness.
    B．Her emotional explosion and volatile emotional state.
    C．The fact that she is 1.82 meters tall and weighs 70kg.
    D．The fact that her parents are both good tennis players.
    小题3:Which of the following statements is TRUE?
    A．Serena Williams was topped by Safina on ranking list on April 20.
    B．Dinara Safina was always very confident and eager to succeed.
    C．Safina was eager to become a tennis player when she was a child.
    D．Marat Safin won the two finals，in the 2008 French and in the 2009 Australian Open.
    小题4:What can we infer from the headline “Safina goes from basket case to top of the world”？
    A．Safina wanted to top the world in tennis when she was a baby in a basket.
    B．After she won the Australian Open，Dinara Safina cried.
    C．Too nervous at first，Safina finally gained confidence and won.
    D．Safina learnt from the basket case and finally came top of the world.

    小题1:A
    小题2:B
    小题3:A
    小题4:C

    小题1:　A
    解析　主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了萨芬娜是如何成长为世界女子网球单打冠军的。
    小题2:　B
    解析　细节理解题。通读全文可知，萨芬娜的成功有多方面的原因。首先要有艰苦的训练，其次她有良好的家庭环境和成长氛围，另外，她的体形高而且壮，适合打网球。这些都是成功的因素。文章第四段主要讲述萨芬娜脾气不好，这个性格特征和她的哥哥非常相似，而不是说这个性格特征是她成功的一个因素。
    小题3:　A
    解析　细节理解题。第二段第一句说这个俄罗斯女孩在四月二十号取代了小威廉姆斯成为世界第一，故A项正确。top在此表示“超越”。B、C两项文中未提及；由第三段内容可知D项错误。
    小题4:　C
    解析　推理判断题。由全文可知，萨芬娜成长为世界第一的网球选手经历了一个由不成熟到成熟的阶段，也就是她从最初的紧张不安到最后的充满自信。basket case是一个习惯用语，表示“过度紧张、精神将要崩溃的人；完全没有希望的人”。

    One of the worst feelings you have as a professional athlete is the feeling after losing a game to a team that you should have beaten. That happened last night against the lowly Boston Celtics. They had only won 13 games the whole year and were really struggling. We had just come off a very good win against the Orlando Magic on the road and were feeling good about ourselves.
    The day did not start out good for us when we learned that T-Mac was going to miss the game with the flu. When you lose your best players (Yao, T-Mac) everyone must play a little harder and do a little bit more on the floor. We inserted Bonzi Wells into the lineup (he was the only one to have a good game for us), in place of T-Mac.
    It was a nasty game. We are usually one of the best three point shooting teams in the NBA and we only made 1 of 22 three point shots! I have never seen that happen. Never! Rafer Alston, Luther Head, and me combined to shoot 5 of 33 from the field. Ouch! You aren't going to win too many games like that. Even as poorly as we shot the ball, we STILL had a chance to win the game in the fourth quarter but failed to make the winning plays that you must make to leave the floor victorious.
    In the locker room after the game, everybody felt terrible. When we play a bad game, we feel that we let our teammates down. There is a bad feeling in the pit of your stomach when you leave the gym and you just want to go home and not talk to anyone. It is a terrible feeling, but it is a feeling that makes you want to try harder and do better the next time.
    I'll talk to you guys later.
    Shane
    小题1:What is the passage mainly about?

    My first full-time job after high school was selling vacation packages via the telephone for a well-known company. One day, I was put through to a man who sounded a bit out of breath. I started with my normal pitch (音高), expecting to hear the normal reply —"I don’t want any."
    Instead, he spoke in a faint, weak voice and told me how he wished to take a vacation I was offering, but he couldn’t because he was dying of illness. He explained how he was lacking in oxygen then, and it took almost all his energy to answer the call. He asked if I smoked, which I did, and begged me to stop. He told me smoking was what was killing him. He told me to spend every day with my loved ones, and tell them how much I love them. At this point, I couldn’t control myself. We ended the call, but I held on my phone to prevent another call coming in so I could collect myself.
    I wrote down his name and address, and sent him a card appreciating his advice and praying for him and his family. Shortly after, I received a letter from Frank, along with a picture of him and his wife. We continued to write back and forth over the next few months, and became very fond of each other. He was old enough to be my grandfather, and in many ways, I felt as if he was.
    About a year later I received a letter from his wife. When I started to read, tears came to my eyes. She told me how Frank’s battle with the disease had finally come to an end, and he passed away shortly before the Christmas. She wanted to thank me for the letters to Frank, and explained how Frank touched many lives over the years. At his funeral, to show just that, they read the 1st letter I had written to Frank to show how he affected a 19-year-old he’d never met.
    小题1: The author was then probably working for ______.
    A．a travel agencyB．a cigarette company
    		C．an e-shopping storeD．a vacation school
    小题2:The underlined part "collect myself" in the second paragraph probably means "_______".
    A．gather togetherB．comfort myself
    		C．relax myselfD．calm down
    小题3: What can we infer from the text?
    A．Frank was in hospital while answering the phone.
    		B．Frank is actually the author’s grandfather.
    		C．There was something wrong with Frank’s lung.
    		D．The author asked Frank to travel and he took his advice.
    小题4: We can learn from the text that the author ________.
    A．took down Frank’s name and address to visit him in person
    		B．was warmly welcomed by her customers when she called them
    		C．didn’t stop smoking even though Frank asked him to
    		D．kept in touch with Frank through letters until he died
    小题5:At Frank’s funeral the author’s 1st letter to Frank was read in order to ____.
    A．encourage people to fight against disease and live bravely
    		B．indicate that Frank touched many people’s hearts
    		C．show the good relationship between Frank and the author

    Robert Ballard was born in 1942. From an early age, he loved the sea. Ballard grew up in Southern California. He spent his free time at the beach near his home. He enjoyed fishing and swimming. He even learned to dive.

    When Ballard wasn’t at the ocean, he loved reading about it. At age 10, he read 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, a book which describes the undersea adventures of Captain Nemo. Ballard decided he wanted to be like Captain Nemo when he grew up. His parents helped him follow his dream.
    Ballard was a hardworking student. He spent many years learning all he could about the ocean. By the age of 28, he was an expert. In 1970, he took a job as a scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute in Massachusetts. There he studied underwater mountains of the Atlantic Ocean. He came up with ways to predict（预知）volcanoes under the oceans. Working with other scientists, Ballard also found previously（以前）unknown sea animals. These animals lived far below the ocean’s surface, where scientists had believed no animals could live.
    By the 1980s, Ballard’s interests changed. He developed unmanned（无人的）vehicles to explore the ocean bottom. His first find, the well-known ship Titanic, made Ballard famous. He was not happy with just one big find, however. He looked for — and found — other well-known ships. One was the German battleship Bismarck. Another was the U.S.S. Yorktown, an aircraft carrier (航空母舰) that sank during World War II.
    Today Robert Ballard is still an underwater explorer. He also heads an organization that encourages students to learn about science. Ballard hopes that some of the students will follow in his footsteps. After all, the world’s huge oceans are mostly unknown. Who knows what remains to be discovered under the sea?
    小题1:What was Ballard’s dream when he was young?
    A．To be a science teacher.B．To be an underwater explorer.
    C．To be an animal expert.D．To be a famous writer.
    小题2:When Ballard worked at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, he _____.
    A．explored the undersea world by ship
    B．thought of ideas to predict underwater volcanoes
    C．found some unknown sea animals alone
    D．set up an organization to teach students science
    小题3:Which is the correct order of the events mentioned in the text about Ballard?
    a. He found the German battleship Bismarck.
    b. He read a book about Captain Nemo.
    c. He found the famous ship Titanic.
    d. He became an expert in science.
    A．b-c-d-aB．d-b-c-aC．b-d-c-aD．d-c-a-b
    小题4:What can we learn from the text?
    A．Ballard’s parents felt disappointed at his undersea adventures.
    B．Ballard didn’t like fishing and swimming in his childhood.
    C．Ballard was greatly influenced by 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
    D．Human beings have explored more than half of the sea.
