(2019·广东七校联合体高三第一次联考)These days, I walk down the steps leading toward the south end of the All England Club in Wimbledon, and still look for the Crow’s Nest, a small green observation tower with an outer ladder that I used to climb on for a wide view of the grounds, but it has since been knocked down.
The Crow’s Nest was a particularly useful point, because it allowed a tennis writer to keep track of the action on as many as 10 outside courts at a time. At the end of the days, reporters from different nations would share notes on what they had observed all over the grounds.
Twentyseven years later, the press room has touch screens that allow us to watch live videos from any court, and even go back to watch key moments in key matches long after they have finished. You could cover Wimbledon without leaving your seat. But that is a bit like spending all your time ordering room service and looking up fun facts on Wikipedia.
More than at any other tennis tournament, there is also an appetite for stories that deal with the setting, the history and the traditions.
If they change the price of the fish tacos(鱼肉卷饼) at the United States Open, it’s not a story. If they change the price of the strawberries and cream, the signature treat at Wimbledon, it’s time to email your editor using capital letters.
The new retractable(可缩进的) roof was put in place in 2009. Until then, you always had to have a rainyday story in your notebook because there were no guarantees any matches would be played. Now tennis is a sure thing on Centre Court, which has made tennis reporters a bit less creative. But at least it guarantees us daily access to the most atmospheric place in the sport.
So much has changed, but Centre Court remains true to its original spirit: more a theater than a stadium. Catching that feeling is part of covering Wimbledon, too.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。在温布尔登的网球俱乐部,“我”曾经爬过的赛场楼梯被拆毁了;现在的记者室拥有触摸屏,可以让我们观看任何球场的直播视频。虽然发生了很多变化,但中心球场仍保持着初衷。捕捉这种感觉也是报道温布尔登网球锦标赛的一部分。
1.What did the author do on the Crow’s Nest in the past?
A.He made friends with reporters.
B.He reported on tennis matches.
C.He appreciated the beautiful scenery.
D.He exchanged experiences with tennis players.
B 解析:推理判断题。通读全文可推知,作者应是一名网球赛报道记者。根据第二段可知,过去Crow’s Nest是记者们观察、记录赛况的地方,每天结束时,
来自不同国家的记者们会分享他们在现场观察到的情况;结合第一段可以判断,作者曾经登上Crow’s Nest,报道网球赛的情况,故B项正确。
2.What does the author think of the new way of covering Wimbledon?
A.It lacks fun.
B.It is expensive.
C.It is not convenient.
D.It is not quick enough.
A 解析:推理判断题。根据第三段最后两句可知,你可以不用离开座位就能报道温网,但这有点像把你所有的时间花在客房服务和在维基百科查找事实真相上;据此可以判断,作者认为如今的报道温网的方式缺乏趣味,故A项正确。
3.Why does the author mention strawberries and cream?
A.To compare popular foods.
B.To introduce the typical treat at Wimbledon.
C.To describe people’s craze for traditional dishes.
D.To show the traditions of Wimbledon are an attraction.
D 解析:推理判断题。根据第四段可知,与任何其他网球锦标赛相比,人们也关注讲述有关温网背景、历史和传统的故事,接着第五段提到美网上的鱼肉卷饼价格改变不会成为新闻而温网的特色食物草莓和奶油价格改变则需要重点向主编报告;据此可推知,提及温网的草莓和奶油旨在展示温网的传统是一个吸引点。故D项正确。
4.What difference does the new roof make?
A.Audiences have easier access to a tennis court.
B.There’s less fun in watching Wimbledon indoors.
C.Reporters are struggling to find original material.
D.Rainyday stories about Wimbledon have become history.
D 解析:细节理解题。根据第六段第一、二句可知,2009年装上了新型的可缩进屋顶,在那之前,因为不能确保所有的温网比赛都能举行,记者们得准备好一个应急报道;据此可知,新屋顶让温网的“应急报道”成为历史,故D项正确。

(2019·江西赣中南五校联考)In 2014 my best friend’s mother died of cancer. It was a tragedy, but as usual, Alice, my mother, used her power of healing and got his family back on their feet.If you asked my friends about my mother,they would say, “That woman has a heart of gold.” I agree one hundred percent.
I think the reason why she is such a wonderful person is that the Holy Spirit lives within her.She is very holy and has persuaded me to go to church with her every Sunday.
About six years ago my mom decided to pursue her lifelong goal of becoming a teacher.She
knew it would be hard work raising three kids, doing housework and studying at the same time.However, she believed it would pay off. What my mother didn’t realize was that not all things pay off in this unfair world. After four hard years of school, she graduated on a warm spring day.It was unbelievable.My aunt drove up from Virginia to celebrate this fantastic day.It was the first time I had ever cried about being happy.
It’s strange how fast a life can change.Two months later, the unpredictable happened.My mother was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis(多发性硬化症).I could not believe this could happen after all the good she had done for people. I was very confused and cried every day.My faith in God just disappeared and so did my mom’s dream of becoming a teacher.
Then, I decided I must move on with my life and accept the fact that she might never get better. Since my decision, I have become more mature, responsible and active in school and work. Through the years I have always been able to change negative situations into positive ones. I’m happy with my life now.
