She is the most successful Indian female tennis player, regarded as one of the finest doubles players in the world.Sania Mirza was born in Mumbai, Maharashtra on 15 November, 1986. Her father was engaged in the construction business while her mother was in printing business. She has a younger sister. The family moved from Mumbai to Hyderabad not long after Sania M irza’s birth and it was in Hyderabad that she started learning lawn tennis from her father from the time she was only six years old.She graduated from St. Mary’s College but her real goal was to become a professional tennis player and to that end, she started taking part in tournaments in India. In 2001, she started playing in the ITF tournaments. The following year she won a Bronze Medal in the Busan Asian Games in the mixed doubles.She started playing in major tournaments. However, 2008 was a year in which Sania Mirza suffered a wrist injury and her game suffered. She did not participate in the Beijing Olympics but the following year she won her first Grand Slam, “Australian Open Mixed Doubles Title” with Mahesh Bhupathi. Over the next few years, she kep t struggling with the wrist injury due to which her game suffered.Following a long string of poor results and first round exits in singles events,Mirza started concentrating more on doubles events. The following year, she and her partner Elena won the French Open mixed doubles title with Mahesh Bhupathi.In 2015 Mirza partnered with Hingis to win at Wimbledon. They also won the 2015 WTA Finals and followed it up with the US Open in the same year. The following year, the Mirza---Hingis duo won the Austral ian Open Women’s doubles championship.24.

In 2016.CAbout six months ago, I was working in a job where I sat at a computer in an office for 50 or so hours each week. My best friend, Dusty, also sat in an office at a computer all day. We often talked about what a waste it seemed to be, spending our time inside in front of a computer all day long. I ended up leaving my job, and so did Dusty. Neither one of us are sitting in an office all day. Last week, Dusty came to my homeand declared, “I’m going to travel.”Of course, traveling is exciting. It’s getting to experience new things, getting to be a slightly different version of ourselves, but I think the point is more about the mindset(心态)that it allows for than the actual reality that comes with it. Waking up every day with a sense of excitement for the unknown. Approaching each interaction during the day with a sense of wonder. Not thinking about yesterday or tomorrow, and just about whatever’s right in front you.However, the thing is, we don’t need to be in transit to be able to approach our days this way. It is possible for me to be living my normal life and be excited for the unknown of the day. I meet new people and do new things very day. Yes, they might be in Santa Monica, a few blocks from my apartment, but what’s the difference between a new person here and new person in Australia?I read an Alan Watts quote recently, and it goes as follows:“If I ask you wh at you did, saw, heard, smelled, touched and tasted yesterday, I am likely to get nothing more than the thin, sketchy outline of the few things that you noticed, and of those only what you thought worth remembering… But suppose you could answer, ‘It would take me forever to tell you, and I am much too interested in what’s happening now.’ ”One generation seems to be eager to expand our horizons. But I agree with Alan Watts. There is a lot of opportunity for horizon-expansion wherever we happen to be.I thin k I’ll wake up tomorrow, walk down the street, and put on m y adventurer’s cap.28. According to the text, the author quit his job mainly because ______.A. it didn’t pay very wellB. he didn’t want to stay inside all day longC. he wanted to spend some time travelingD. Dusty advised him to do so29. What’s the second paragraph mainly about?A. What is most important when traveling.B. What makes traveling so attractive.C. How to find a new version of ourselves.D. How to spend an unforgettableholiday.30. The underlined words “in transit” in the third paragraph probably mean “______”.A. filled with curiosityB. working hardC. moving aroundD. full of enthusiasm31. What’s the best title for the text?A. An Exciting but Normal LifeB. Get Outside and Explore for the UnknownC. Go to Travel and Expand Your HorizonD. Adventures in Our Own BackyardDIt is reported that a record-breaking high-speed rail will connect Inner Mongolia in the north to Hainan in the south. The proposed line will operate at a speed of 350 kilometers per hour (217mph).Beginning in Inner Mongolia's Baotou city and running through southern Shanxi, Hubei, Hunan, Guangxi and Guangdong, its final stop would be Haikou city on Hainan Island, China's southern province. Though the exact length of the proposed route has not been released, it will likely become the world’s longest high-speed rail line as the journey by road between Baotou and Haikou approximately 3,000 kilometers long, running from Beijing to Guangzhou.The proposed rail is part of China’s aim to create another “Silk Road of the 21 Century” and improve the country's transportation network while driving land development and urbanization (城市化)in some provincial areas. Many of the provinces through which the high-speed trains will travel are near major bodies of water, such as the Yellow River in Inner Mongolia and Shanxi provinces, the Yangtze River in Hubei and the South China Sea, where the line would end. It will also take passengers to popular tourist destinations including Zhangjiajie, Xi'an, Guilin and minority areas in western Hunan and Hubei.“The country is now shifting its focus and investing in the wes tern regions and economically underdeveloped areas, making up for China’s long debt to those areas,”Tan Yuzhi, a professor of Hubei University for Nationalities, told local media. “The project will significantly narrow regional gaps and solve minority iss ues•”However, Deng Hongbing, director of China University of Geosciences，Center, said that if the north-to-south railway is to go ahead, there needs to be a sound ecological program in place to ensure the protection of these underdeveloped and ecologically sensitive areas.32. The passage informs us that the high-speed rail line______. .A. will benefit the underdeveloped areas a lot in the westB. will do good to the environment alongside the lineC. will transport goods faster from north to southD will be the most convenient high-speed rail line in China33. From Tan Yuzhi’s words we can infer______.A. the situation in western regions is hard to predictB. the high-speed rail line will run across major citiesC. the transportation system should be improved in minority groupsD. tourist destinations will be more popular along the rail line34. What is Deng Hongbing's attitude towards the proposed project?A. Cautious.B. Doubtful.C. Puzzled.D. Unconcerned.35. What is the passage mainly talking about?A. China has decided to invest in the western areas.B. Another high-speed train line is being planned.C. The train will speed up to 350 kilometers per hour.D. China has produced the best high-speed train line.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
