After ruling the tennis world for almost five years, Roger Federer is adjusting to life at No. 2. but, like any king whose throne has been taken away, the Swiss star is already planning secretly his return to power, beginning at this week’s US Open.
The problem is, many experts think he will never do it. They blame everything from age and tough competition to his racket and psychology.
For years Federer, 27, had enjoyed the view from the top. Competitors saw him as undefeated, and for the most part he was. However, before the 2019 season began, Federer had an illness that stole
第 3 页
his strength and clearly affected his play on the court. Ever since, he has struggled to return to form, winning just two of his last 14 tournaments.
“ Twenty-seven is an age when your body starts talking back to you.” Tennis great John McEnroe told the New York Times.
Pancho Sefura, another tennis great, noted that Federer is also facing a maturing crop of young talents. “ There are too many great players now,” he said, naming Britain’s Andy Murray, 21, and Latvia’s Ernests Gulbis, 20.
US magazine Sports Illustrated tennis columnist Jon Wertheim suggested that part of Federer’s problem could be his insistence on using a small racket. He says that the smaller head demands ball control. But we see time and again that racket makers try to get players to use a certain stick --- one they would like to market to consumers and it has a negative effect on the professional game.
Sports psychologist Jim Loehr told the Times that Federer is probably feeling “a sense of doubt” after being considered as undefeated for so long. If Federer is to recover his state of being undefeated, Loehr said he must overcome his doubt. “Federer doesn’t need fame and money. But he has to get better. He has to go to a whole new level. That’s the only way he stays in the game,” he said.
As for beginning his first Grand Slam(大满贯) in ages as the No. 2 seed, Federer said it might be for the beset. “Five years almost, I was expected to win every tournament I entered,” he said, “so maybe Rafael Nadal now feels what I had to feel for a very long time. It will be interesting to see how he handles it.
56.What does the underlined sentence “your body starts talking back to you” in Para.4 mean?
A. Your body often argues with you. B. You can do whatever you want.
C. Your strength is beginning to decline.
D. You are more easily to have terrible diseases.
57. From the passage, we know the main reason why Federer’s throne was taken away is
that___
A. he is becoming older and older. B. he insisted on using a small racket.
C. he is facing a maturing crop of young talents. D. He had an illness that stole his strength. 58. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Now it is Nadal who has replaced Federer as the No.1 tennis player. B. The racket makers aim at the players’ better performance in games. C. It is quite impossible for Federer to return to power. D. Federer has never won a Grand Slam before. 59. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Nadal--- The No.1 Tennis player B. Federer--- Always Undefeated C. State of Mind Plays a Vital Role
D. Federer Hopes to Recover His Magic B Dear Cary,
I’m writing because I’ve understood you’ve struggled with alcoholism. I’ve been fighting mine ever since I went through 9-11. After that, I’ve been more or less useless professionally –I’m a lawyer–and have had to resign from my job because I was discovered passed-out drunk in front of my computer. I’ve taken some medicine and it has helped somewhat. I can manage about a month without drinking, but after that I end up having a crazy stage where nothing matters except drinking. After a week or so of heavy drinking, I start having nightmares of people jumping. After that, it’s a week of not being able to get out of bed.
I was supposed to travel to a conference but didn’t make it because I got so drunk at the airport that I fell down on my face and spent the rest of the day in the emergency room. I have been hiding
第 4 页
from my family since then. Fortunately they won’t be expecting me to come back for a week or so. Otherwise, they would notice the bump on my forehead and two black eyes.
I don’t really know what I’m asking you. Cary, I need a way out that doesn’t involve causing pain to my family. I’m taking medicine, but I still have these attacks every few months. If there’s alcohol in the house, I can’t stay away from it. It seems that this will never end. I’m afraid of what will happen if something bad happens, like a family member dying, or getting fired again．
Thanks for reading.

According to a famous optical(光学) expert, Alexander, who recently visited Shanghai, the developed countries in Europe and America have made rules that children must wear resinous(树脂) glasses instead of the traditional glasses made of glass. This is because the glass glasses are more likely to do harm to children’s eyesight.
Alexander pointed out: wearing the right glasses as soon as possible is still the best way to cure and put right children’s eyesight problems.
In America and Japan the resinous glasses have taken up 80 percent of the glasses market. And some European countries and America have made it a law that children, teenagers and drivers must wear resinous glasses. Now, about 10 million children in China have different eyesight problems and they need timely treatment.
But still, too many parents are buying the traditional glass glasses for their children. This is mainly because many parents know little or nothing about the good points of the resinous glasses. Besides, the price for the new glasses is a little higher than the traditional ones. 64. This news article mainly wants to tell us _______.
A. Alexander visited China and introduced a new type of glasses B. we should wear resinous glasses instead of glass glasses C. resinous glasses are popular in Europe and America D. glasses can be made of other materials instead of glass
65. According to Alexander, the “timely treatment” to eyesight problems is _______. A. to stop wearing glass glasses any more
B. to buy a pair of glasses and wear them right away C. to wear suitable resinous glasses at the right time
D. to buy glasses made in Europe, Japan or America if possible 66. It can be inferred from this news text that _______. A. resinous glasses are not on sale in China yet
