Ⅱ.阅读理解

After ruling the tennis world for almost five years, Roger Federer is adjusting to life at NO.2.But, like any king whose throne(王冠) 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 that many experts think he will never do it.They blame everything from age and tough competition to his racket(球拍)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 2008 season began, Federer had an illness that stole 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 Segura, 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 in ages as the NO.2 seed, Federer said it might be for the best.“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.”

A．Your strength is beginning to decline. B．Your body often argues with you.

C．You are more easily to have quite terrible diseases. D．You can do whatever you want.

A．he is facing a maturing crop of young talents B．he insisted on using a small racket

C．he had an illness that stole his strength D．he is becoming older and older

3．What can be inferred from the passage?

A．The racket makers aim at the players' better performance in games. B．It is impossible for Federer to return to power. C．Federer has never won a Grand Slam before.

D．Now it is Nadal who has replaced Federer as the No.1 tennis player. 4．What's the best title of the passage? A．Federer hopes to recover his magic B．Federer—always undefeated C．Nadal—the No.1 tennis player

D．State of mind plays an important role Ⅲ.完形填空
