Chinese player Li Na, a two-time Grand Slam (網(wǎng)球大滿貫賽事) champion, announced her retirement on Sept 21 because of long-term knee injuries. Although it was a hard decision, Li said she had no regrets (遺憾).

“I don’t feel sorry about retiring, because I’ve tried my best,” said the 32-year-old.

Becoming professional at the age of 17, Li has set many milestones (里程碑) for Chinese tennis. She was the first Chinese player to win a WTA title and the first to break into the top 20. Li won the 2011 French Open title and became the first Asian player to ever win a Slam. By winning this year’s Australian Open, she became the first Asian player with two Slams.

As excellent as her tennis abilities are, Li’s sense of humor is outstanding too. She often jokes about life with her husband in interviews, changing them into funny comedy shows. Her speech at the Australia Open in January is just the best example.

During her 15-year professional career, Li has helped the improvement of tennis in China. Earlier this month, Chinese another player Peng Shuai, 28, made the semifinals of the US Open. Last week, a new tennis match started in Li’s hometown of Wuhan.

“I’ve seen changes happening in front of my eyes, young girls picking up tennis rackets, setting goals … and believing in themselves,” Li said in an online post.

Li is more than a sports superstar. As WTA chief executive (行政長(zhǎng)官) Stacey Allaster said, she is “a pioneer who opened doors to tennis for hundreds of millions of people throughout China and Asia.”

Li said she planned to take care of my family and then to open a tennis school in China after her retirement. Her official retirement ceremony (儀式) will be on Sept 30.

1.Why did Li Na decide to give up her tennis career?

A. Because of the increasing age.

B. Because of the arm injuries.

C. Because of the knee injuries.

D. Because of the bad performances

2.When did Li Na become the first Asian player with two Slams?

B. In 2012.

C. In 2013.

D. In 2014.

3.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “outstanding” in Paragraph (段落) 4?

A. 普通的 B. 古怪的 C. 杰出的 D. 完美的

4.Which is of the following is the writer’s opinion?

A. She was the first Chinese player to win a WTA title.

B. Li became the first Asian player to ever win a Slam.

C. Li is more than a sports superstar.

D. Her official retirement ceremony will be on Sept 30.

科目：初中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2014-2015學(xué)年浙江寧波國(guó)家高新區(qū)外國(guó)語(yǔ)學(xué)校九年級(jí)上10月月考英語(yǔ)試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Can you remember the day when you spoke your first words? If you can, you are unusual. Try to think what the first months of your life were like, I’m sure you just spent most of your time eating, sleeping and crying. As you grew older, you were awake more of the time. It took your parents more to play with you and talk to you. You watched and listened. You began to know that people make some sounds to go with some things.

Then you began to cry to make sounds you heard. And step by step you were able to make the right sound for one thing.

On that day you came to understand the secret of the language. The secret is that a certain sound means a certain thing. One sound might be as good as another. But it is not as good as a word unless everyone agrees on its meaning. Only when a group of people use the same set of sounds of things, they can understand each other, so these people have a language.

After you found the secret of language, you learned words. Some of the words meant things, such as books, chairs and shops. Some of the words meant actions such as go and swim. And other words describe things such as good or dirty. Soon you learn to put words together to express one’s idea, such as “I want to go out and play with my friends.” This is language. By the way of language people can communicate. So we say languages mean communication.

1. __________ can remember the day when we spoke our first words.

A. Few of us B. No one C. Most people D. Someone

2. When you were a little baby, you ___________.

A. made sounds to let people know that you wanted to eat

B. could not hear any sounds around you

C. spent most of your time eating, playing and sleeping

D. spent most of your time playing with your parents

3. The secret of language is that ___________.

A. one sound might be as good as another

B. a certain sound is for a certain thing

C. people can understand each other

D. there is a special sound for each other

4. The use of language is ___________.

A. to get everything one wants from another

B. to say what one wants to know

C. to make oneself understood by others

D. to share ideas, opinions, news, etc. with one another
