答案:1.B;2.C;3.D;4.B;5.B;6.D;7.B;8.D;9.D;10.C;11.C;12.B;13.C;14.B;15.B;16.B;17.D;18.A;19.C;20.C;
解析:

(1)

这里指最初打网球,不一定是比赛,本段第二句中game已为我们选择提供了依据。

(2)

tennez是法国人开始打网球时的命令,由此可知tennez为一个法语单词,不是短语,也不是句子,更不会是用法。

(3)

此处为现在分词短语作后置定语,指英国人“观看”法国人打网球。

(4)

空前面有感官动词watch,所以应选的答案不能带有to;空后面没有宾语,所以不能用介词with,因此答案为B项。

(5)

注意整句结构,此处应填谓语动词,指英国人把这项运动称作tennez。

(6)

指城市里的公园,后有just like today加以限制,其余选项均不符合实情。

(7)

指“像今天这样”,as用作介词时,意为“作为”,用在此处不妥。

(8)

比赛中相互对抗,故应用against。

(9)

后文中提到后来是为钱比赛,进而推知刚开始的时候,运动员不是为钱而是为争夺荣誉而比赛的。

(10)

指在比赛中弄虚作假来骗取钱财,后一句中the cheating指此行为。

(11)

根据上下文可知,为了防止利用网球骗钱,结果禁止了网球。

(12)

根据句意本身就可得知指的应是“原有”的网球场。

(13)

put sth.to a new use为固定短语,此处意思是“改作他用”。

(14)

这里表示“几乎消失”,故用almost。mostly的意思是“主要地”;at most的意思是“至多”,用在此处均不妥。

(15)

文中已有交代,网球源于法国和英国,当时美国人只有到欧洲才有可能见到网球场。

(16)

此处learned意为“了解到”,其他项不符合题意。

(17)

此处用过去完成时,表示更早时间发生的事,had是had liked的省略。

(18)

联系上下文可知,home指国内,本句意为“美国人一回国就建起了自己的网球场”。

(19)

注意本句构成短语的意思,此处take off的意思是become successful and popular(开始成功;普及)。其他意思不符。

(20)

和文章开头相呼应:网球成了世界上最受欢迎的运动之一。

  In the American family the husband and wife usually share important decision making.When the children are   1   enough, they take part   2  .Foreigners are often surprised by the permissiveness(宽容)of American parents.The old rule that“Children should be seen and not be heard” is rarely   3  , and children are often   4   to do what they wish without strict parental   5  .The father seldom expects his children to obey him   6   question, and children are encouraged to be independent   7   an early age.Some people believe that American parents carry this freedom   8   far.Others think that a strong father image(形象)would not   9   the American values of equality and independence.Because Americans emphasize the importance of independence, young people are expected to break   10   their parental families by the time they have   11   their late teens or early twenties.  12  , not to do so is often regarded as a failure, a kind of   13
