21、U. S. Open Championships
The US Open has been in existence for almost 140 years. The first tournament was held in 1881 at the Newport Casino. It was called the US National Singles Championship. Entry was limited to only those clubs which were members of the United States National Lawn Tennis Association, and the competitors were all male, competing in both single and doubles. Richard Sears won the men’s championship and he went on to win the next six men’s singles championships.
The Wimbledon
In 1875, the All England Croquet Club was troubled financially due to declining membership. A new sport called lawn tennis was gaining fast in popularity and taking away the members. Two years later, a new roller was needed for maintaining its lawns so the club proposed to hold a tournament to raise money. Twenty-two players entered that first Wimbledon tournament which was won by Spencer Gore in straight sets over W. C. Marshall. Two hundred spectators each paid a shilling to watch the final game, enabling the club to buy the needed roller plus some extra cash.
The French Open
The very first French Championship was held way back in 1891, and the tournament has since grown into one of the four tennis Grand Slam tournaments we know today. The first competition was a one-day national championship which was won by a British. The competition was poorly attended by world class players. It took 24 years before it became fully international and an accepted tennis grand slam event. After the First World War, French tennis was achieving stature（重要性）. Suzanne Lenglen was the predominant（卓越的）French player, winning the championships six times between 1920 and 1926.
The Australian Open
The very first tennis tournament ever played in Australia was held in January 1880, on the courts of the Melbourne Cricket Club. In 1905, the Australian Open was established as the Australasian Tennis Championship and was played at the Warehouseman’s Cricket Ground in Melbourne. It became the Australian Championship in 1927 and the Australian Open in 1969. Women’s events were added in 1922.

23、The world is changing so fast that English, perhaps the most worldly of languages, is struggling to keep up.
Learners in the future are likely to be much younger. Young children are often said to be better at language learning than older learners but they also have special challenges. Young children don’t usually have the kind of instrumental motivation and determination for learning English that older learners often have. English lessons must therefore be fun and rewarding.
The reasons why people learn English are also changing. Globalization is bringing together more people than ever who speak different languages and who are turning to English as the means of communication. The English learners of the future may be less worried about sounding exactly like a native speaker and more concerned about how to use English effectively in cross-cultural communication. We may be hearing more non-native speakers in dialogues and a wider range of the “New Englishes” now used around the world.
Technology will allow English to come to you, rather than you having to go to a special place to learn English.
Learning English has always involved both pain and pleasure, private effort and social activity. Traditional learning provided take-it or leave-it mixes of these as well as of content but in future learners will be able to choose a plan which suits their cultural and psychological dispositions(性情), or their particular needs at that moment. They, rather than their teachers, will decide how, what and when they will learn.
Above all, learning English is about communication and an important benefit of learning English is being able to exchange views and make friends with people all over the world. Despite the growing independence of learners, trusted institutions and brand names will remain important.
【1】Compared to older learners, young English learners .
A. are more active in learning
B. are more hard-working in learning
C. have more difficulties in learning
D. have less lasting determination in learning
【2】What can we learn about the future English language?
A. British English will be more popular.
B. American English will be more popular.
C. Most people will speak standard English.
D. Many different kinds of Englishes will appear.
【3】 What can we learn from the passage?
A. Future English lessons will be more interesting.
B. Old people won’t have to learn English in the future.
C. People will pay more attention to English pronunciation.
D. Teachers will play a more important role in one’s English learning.
【4】 What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Learning English means no pain in the future.
B. English training schools will not be popular with young people in the future.
C. English learners will become less independent in the future.
D. More attention will be paid to personal needs in English learning in the future.
24、 The town of Paradise has suffered a camp fire, which lasted 17 days and caused a damage of $16.5 billion. As a result, the beautifully named place lost its beauty.
Shane Grammer, a creative director for Disney’s theme parks in Los Angeles, paid close attention to the news of the fire. He felt quite helpless when seeing the pictures shared by his childhood friend Shane Edwards in the town, in which Shane photographed his white chimney, the only part of his house left after the fire.
“I’ve got to paint that chimney,” he said to Inside Edition. “I’m not trying to say anything. And it was an opportunity for me to express and be an artist, isn’t it?”
Grammer spent three hours spray-painting the image of a woman on the chimney, which is strikingly mysterious black and white, in the ruins. Perhaps it serves as a reminder of the beauty of life or just life itself. Then Grammer put the picture on Instagram. On seeing it, the victims of the fire could not contain themselves. “Beautiful and haunting,” one of them commented. And another said, “You bring beauty and hope.”
At this time, Grammer became aware that something deeper had been transformed by a purely artistic expression. “When the first mural (壁画) moved so many people, I knew I had to come back up,” he said to KRCR-TV. Grammer returned to Paradise eight times in three months, during which he completed 17 paintings of victims and Biblical figures, pickups and parts of buildings on walls.
Today, Grammer’s efforts have developed into a movement. He has also painted murals in dark places that seriously need some light around the world.
Ironically, the first painting, on the chimney in Paradise, existed for just several months, since the bulldozer (推土机) is a merciless art critic. But Grammer couldn’t be more pleased about it, which means the spirit of Paradise is rising again.
【1】How did Grammer come up with the idea of painting the chimney?
A.From Disney’s theme parks.
B.From his friend’s description of the fire.
C.By looking at a picture of Shane Edward’s remaining chimney after the fire.
D.After learning about the news of the fire.
【2】Why did Grammer tell Inside Edition that he wasn’t trying to say anything?
A.Because he had nothing to say.
B.Because he felt it difficult to express himself.
C.Because he had his way to express himself.
D.Because he had no opportunity to express himself.
【3】What does the underlined part “something deeper” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A.People’s inner feelings.
B.People’s words.
C.The meaning of the mural.
D.The background situation.
【4】What do Grammer’s murals mean to people?
A.They are mysteries.
B.They are entertaining.
C.They are artistic expressions.
D.They are inspiring.
【5】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.The people in Paradise are in high spirits now.
B.Paradise is recovering from the disaster in a short time.
C.Grammer is not happy for the destruction of his mural.
D.The bulldozer was so cruel that it destroyed Grammer’s mural.
25、One night I decided to spend some time building a happier and closer relationship with my daughter.
