Downing Street sources have indicated that the British tennis player，Andy Murray，will be Recommended for a knighthood(爵士頭銜)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，make no mistake，a national moment．Murray’s semifinal victory over Jerzy Janowicz drew a peak television audience of 13.24 million viewers．the biggest of the year in Britain．The final then topped that with a peak audience of 17.3 million，the biggest audience for a Wimbledon final since at least 1990, according to the BBC．

Only one name will go on the trophy(獎杯)，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 the2012 season．“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．

1.The underlined word “twist” in the second paragraph refers to Murray’s_____.

A．a(chǎn)chievement            B．knighthood

C．champion title           D．nationality

2.Which of the following is TRUE?

A．Murray is the first British to have won the singles at Wimbledon．

B．Murray’s victory over Jerzy Janowicz drew the biggest audience of the year．

C．Murray has won the championship of the United States Open before．

D．Murray was born a strong，talented and cool-headed tennis player．

3.What does the author mean by saying“the British drought well and truly over”?

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．

4.What does the writer intend to tell us?

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．

試題分析：文章介紹了英國網(wǎng)球選手安迪·穆雷在獲得溫布爾頓公開賽冠軍后整個英國民眾對這一榮譽的興奮之情，他本人既被授予了爵士頭銜還創(chuàng)造了1990年以來溫網(wǎng)電視收視率的新高。

1.推理題：根據(jù)第二段中“Murray’s achievement has a twist in that he is Scottish．not English．”根據(jù)后面說他是蘇格蘭人，不是英國人可知在討論穆雷的國籍。故選D。

2.細節(jié)題：根據(jù)第三段中“No Scotsman had won the singles at Wimbledon since Harold Mahony in 1896”從1896年哈羅德·馬奧尼贏得溫布爾登網(wǎng)球男子單打冠軍之后在沒有蘇格蘭人得冠�？芍狝錯誤；根據(jù)第五段內容可知穆雷半決賽戰(zhàn)勝Jerzy Janowicz電視觀眾達到1324萬人，決賽時達到1730萬人，因此B錯誤；根據(jù)最后一段第一句“ Onward Team Murray goes toward a defense of the United States Open title，beginning next month”下個月開始，穆雷的團隊去衛(wèi)冕美國公開賽冠軍，由此可知穆雷得過美國公開賽冠軍，故C正確；根據(jù)第六段中“who once had frequent fits of anger during matches”他曾在比賽期間頻繁的暴怒，由此可知D錯誤。故選C。

3.推理題：根據(jù)文章第一段可知英國民眾期待本土溫網(wǎng)冠軍已經(jīng)等了77年了，此次穆雷得冠滿足了英國人民的渴望。故選D。

4.推理題：閱讀文章可知英國政府以及英國民眾在穆雷獲得溫網(wǎng)冠軍時和之后的各種表現(xiàn)，包括決賽時的收視率新高，以及穆雷本人勝利后會獲得爵士頭銜，由此可知人們喜歡穆雷得冠。故選A。
