talk to their idol.Yet for one young tennis player-Coco Gauff-her chance to do just that happened in an amazing way!Coco was born on March 13,2004.At the age of 4,she developed an interest in tennis after watching Venus Williams win the Australian Open on TV.Coco began playing at 7 and showed a real talent for the sport.When young Coco turned 10,she began training at a tennis centre run by Venuss coach,Patrick Mouratoglou.He still remembers the first time he met Coco.He says,“She impressed me with her determination and fighting spirit.”Convinced of her talent,Mouratoglou sponsored（资助）Coco to

entry to the tournament（联赛）as a wildcard（外卡选手）.This madeher one of the youngest players to ever qualify.Before she knew it she was on her way to London.After arriving,she received another surprise.For her Wimbledon debut（首次登场），she would be playing her lifelong hero,Venus Williams!The tennis legend is 24years older than Gauff.The world watched with amazement as young Gauff beat Venus in two straight

Superstar.B.Coco Gauff：A Poster on the Wall.C.What Posters Mean to a Young Girl.D.The Significance of Admiring an Idol.D A cheap printed sensor could transmit wildfire warnings.Wildfires have recently destroyed regions across the world,and theirgravityis increasing.Hoping to reduce harm,researchersled by Yapei Wang,a Chinese chemist ofRenminUniversity,say they have developed an inexpensive sensor to detect such fires earlier with less effort.Current detection methods rely heavily on human watchfulness,which can delay an effective response.Most wildfires are reported by the general public,and other alerts come from routine foot patrols and watchtower observers.Passing planes and satellites also occasionally spot something,but“the fire first appears on the ground,Wang says.“When you see the fire from the sky,it is too late.”The team says its new sensor can be placed near tree trunks bases and send a wireless signal to a nearby receiver if there is a dramatic temperature increase.That heat also powers the sensor itself,without replacing batteries.The team printed the substances onto ordinary paper to create a sensor for just$0.40.But improving coordination among the different agencies involved in firefighting is even more crucial to address,says Graham Kent,an earthquake expert at theUniversityofNevada,Reno,who was not part of the study.Kentis director of ALERTWildfire,a network that uses cameras and crowd sourcing to watch for fires inCalifornia,NevadaandOregon.“The whole way that you respond to a fire until its put out is like a ballet,he says.“Youd have to choreograph(设计)it just so,with resources precisely used at the right time and place and in the right order from detection to confirmation to assignment to extinguishment(熄灭).Fire detection is just step one.Wang says his teams next steps are to extend the devicessignal range beyond the current 100 meters,which can limit practical use,and to develop a protective shield for it.The transmitters effectiveness,he notes,will also need to be examined in the field ahead.12.What does the underlined word“gravity”in paragraph 1 probably mean?A.Pull.B.Extinction.C.Popularity.D.Severity.13.What do we know about the sensor?A.Its price remains high.B.Its batteries are replaceable.C.It can detect fires earlier and easier.D.It can reduce firefighters pain.14.What doesKentmean in paragraph 4?A.Firefighting is easy but crucial.B.Fire detection resources are rich.C.Putting out a fire is an orderly activity.D.Technology is the key to extinguishing a fire.15.Whats the plan for the new sensor according to Wang?A.Improving and testing it.B.Limiting its use and transmission.C.Examing and reducing its signal range.D.Getting it on the market ahead of time.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10
