题目内容
19.Downing Street sources have indicated that the British tennis player,Andy Murray,will be Recommended for a knighthood(爵士头衔)for ending Britain's 77-year wait for a Wimbledon men's champion title.David Cameron,the British prime minister,who was in the royal box on Sunday at Wimbledon told reporters that he couldn't think of anyone who deserves one more.More news on the knighthood is surely to come,but Murray's achievement has a twist in that he is Scottish,not English.Also in the royal box show on Sunday was Scotland's first minister,Alex Salmond,waving the white-and-blue Scottish flag in the row directly behind Cameron after the victory.No Scotsman had won the singles at Wimbledon since Harold Mahony in 1896.Salmond was later asked on BBC Radio whether Murray's achievement had been a victory for Britain."Absolutely,and for tennis fans everywhere,"Salmond said."Let everyone enjoy the victory.But you will allow us just the little private thing.Let us wave our national flag.''
The Scottish government,headed by Salmond,has announced that Scotland will hold a
referendum(全民票)on independence from Britain in September 2014.Murray,who lives in the London area but was born and raised in the Scottish town of Dunblane,has not said publicly which way he would vote on the issue,and his Wimbledon Championship will only mix interest in his views.
But this was a national moment.Murray's semifinal victory over Jerzy
Janowicz drew a peak television audience of 13.24million viewers,the biggest of the year in Britain.The final then topped that with a peak audience of 17.3million,the biggest audience for a Wimbledon final since at least 1990,according to the B BC.
Only one name will go on the trophy(奖杯),but tennis at the highest level has now become a team event.Murray,who once had frequent fits of anger during matches,has transformed himself into a much more focused force with the help of an extensive support group.Murray's rise to champion has clearly something to do with his decision to hire the former number one tennis champion Ivan Lendl as his coach just before the 2012season."He's been very patient with me; I'm just happy I managed to do it for him."
Onward Team Murray goes toward a defense of the United States Open title,beginning next month,and then eventually to defending at Wimbledon next year with the British drought(干旱) well and truly over..
33.The underlined word"twist"in the second paragraph refers to Murray'sD.
A.achievement B.knighthood C.champion title D.nationality
34.What does the author mean by saying"the British drought well and truly over"?D
A.Murray is concerned about the drought that struck Britain.
B.Drought in Britain will be over next year when Wimbledon is held.
C.British government's rule over Scotland will come to an end soon.
D.The British people's desire for a Wimbledon victory is fully satisfied.
35.What does the writer intend to tell us?A
A.The whole Great Britain is enjoying Murray's victory.
B.Scotland is going to gain independence from Britain
C.The secret lies behind Murray's Wimbledon victory.
D.Murray was torn between the choices in the referendum.

10.A Faithful Father

I don't remember much of the rest of the call,(48)B that moment of revelation (显露) about my father,I will never forget.There are those who are known for their heroic (49)B,and also those who are known for their fortunes and fame,but it is the (50)C everyday fathers who are the true heroes.I'm thankful that my father was one of them.
