24、 When thirty-two-year-old tennis player Andre Agassi made to the final of the U.S. Clay Court Championship in April 2003, he set a new world record: he became the oldest player ever to be number one in the world’s tennis rankings. It was one of the greatest achievements in Agassi’s long and successful career.

Andre Agassi turned professional in 1986 at the age of sixteen. His career soon took off, and in 1990, Agassi was famous around the world, though never having won an important tennis championship. Many people thought he was famous more for his long blond hair and colorful tennis shirts than for his tennis skills. They wondered if he could really win an important tournament.

In 1992, Agassi proved these people wrong by winning one of the greatest prizes in world tennis—the Wimbledon singles final. His first attempt to win this tournament had been in 1987, but he lost his opening game. He then refused to take part in Wimbledon for the next three years. He said his reason for not playing was that the officials refused to allow him to wear his colorful shirts, but some people said it was because he was afraid to lose.

After several more championship victories, Agassi’s luck began to run out. By 1997, the year of his marriage to a movie actress--- Brooke Shields, Agassi’s ranking had dropped to 141st in the world. Many people thought his career was over.

Agassi and Shields divorced two years later, and Agassi made a comeback with a new trainer, a new hairstyle, and new determination. In 1999, he won both the French Open and the U.S. Open and ended the year back as the world’s number one. By 2003, he had earned more than $27 million in prize money, making him one of the most successful tennis players of all times.

26、

Passenger ships, trade ships, and fishing boats are a normal part of life on the open sea. However, all their activity creates a great deal of noise underwater. Scientists from the United States and Canada recently reported their observations (观察) that the ocean is getting noisier.

Scientists at the University of Victoria have studied the recordings recorded with equipment placed underwater near the busy shipping lanes off Vancouver Island in Canada. They say engine(发动机) noise is continuous during the day, and a little less strong at night.

Scientists say it is likely that whales must call out more loudly to be heard over this noise. The noise could make it more difficult for orca whales to find food. The orcas find fish by producing clicking sounds and other noises. Loud engine noise could beinterfering withtheir efforts.

Michael Jasny is a policy expert for the Natural Resources Defense Council. He says the rise of underwater noise is limiting the ability of whales to communicate.

Shipping noise falls across the same frequencies (频率) that these animals use for all their vital(重大的，紧要的) behaviors — for feeding, for finding mates, for avoiding predators (捕食者) and for going ahead.”

Mr. Jasny says sound travels very effectively underwater. And it is not just whales he is worried about.

“The whole web of life in the oceans depends on sound. And as more and more research has been done, it’s been very clear that what we have on our hands is really a major problem. It’s a serious problem. It’s a global problem. Fortunately, in shipping we have a problem that has a solution.”

One answer is to design quieter ships. America’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA, has four new ships that are made to be quieter. Michael Bahtiarian works for Noise Control Engineering, the company which helped design the boats.

Mr. Bahtiarian says the main source of noise pollution is the propeller(螺旋桨). Better shaped propellers and ship designs can help to reduce noise. NOAA’s ships also have costly engines, which produce less noise. Mr. Bahtiarian says the technology to make quieter ships does exist and has been used in the army for some time.

【1】The underlined phrase “interfering with” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.

A．controlling

B．troubling

C．encouraging

D．stopping

【2】We can tell that whales depend on sound for ________.

A．communicating with their mates

B．stopping predators from fishing

C．fighting against the shipping noise

D．telling the night time from the day

【3】From the passage we can learn that ________.

A．expensive engines produce less noise in the ocean

B．many animals in the ocean depend on sound for living

C．people should stop making big ships in order to save whales

D．it is difficult to find a way to stop noise pollution in the ocean

【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A．The Ocean is Getting Noisier.

B．Whales and Ships in the Ocean.

C．Whales are Facing a Serious Problem.

D．Quiet Ships are Needed in the Ocean.
