In 2004,18-year-old Nadal helped Spain win the Davis Cup by defeating (擊敗) Andy Roddick, who was the second-best American player in the world at the time. This made Nadal the youngest player to win a match for a victorious country in the Davis Cup.

Professional(職業(yè)的) tennis is played on courts made of three different materials：clay, glass and hard court. The different surfaces have a significant effect on the game, so much so that for many years few players mastered tennis on all three surfaces. Nadal was called“The king of Clay”because he was so dominant(占優(yōu)勢的) on clay courts. But now he is one of several players to win grand slam titles on all three surfaces.

In 2016, Nadal founded a tennis academy in his hometown，Manacor, Spain. His goal was to combine tennis instruction and education so that young athletes would not need to neglect their education. He intends to live in the area long-term and remain involved with it.

Perhaps Rafael Nadal's incredible career will continue，and he will also make great efforts in passing on his skills and techniques to new prospective athletes.

The Silk Road is a historically important international trade route between China and the Mediterranean (地中海). It began during the Western Han Dynasty and has been a bridge between the East and the West for over 2000 years.

The ancient road started from Chang’an (now Xi’an) and ended in Eastern Europe near today’s Turkey and the Mediterranean Sea, it was about 6500 kilometers long and went across one fourth of the planet.

The Silk Road got its name in the 19th century, because Chinese silk used to be carried along this road. Silk, jade, ceramics(陶瓷) and iron went west to Rome. And from the west came glass, gems and food like carrots.

The Silk road was very important to both China and the rest of the world. It was more than an ancient international trade route. Besides trade, knowledge about arts, science and literature, as well as crafts and technologies was shared across the Silk Road. In this way, languages and cultures developed and influenced each other.

Dogs are known for their sense of smell. They can find missing people and things. Now a study shows that the animal can even find bladder cancer (膀胱癌).

Cancer cells can produce chemicals with unusual smells. Scientists think dogs have the ability to smell these smells, even in very small amounts, in urine (尿).

For example, a dog showed great interest in the growth of its owner’s legs. The man was later found to have skin cancer. Carolyn Willis and some scientists trained different kinds of dogs for the experiment. The study used urine collected from bladder cancer patients (病人), from people with other diseases and from healthy people. Each dog was tested 8 times. In each test there were 7 examples for the dog to smell. The dog should show the one from a bladder cancer patient by lying down next to it.

Their results later appeared on the British Medical Journal. In all, 36 bladder cancer patients and 108 other people attended. During the training, all the dogs even found cancer in a person who had been tested healthy before the study. Carolyn Willis said dogs could help scientists find the chemicals produced by bladder cancer. The information could then be used to develop machines to test for the chemicals. The team also plans to use dogs to help find other kinds of cancer.

1.How many kinds of urine were collected in the experiment?

A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.

2.Why did the writer give the detailed experiment in the third paragraph?

A. To introduce the first paragraph.

B. To support the second paragraph.

C. To teach us to do some experiments.

D. To let us know the reason of the experiment.

3.What would the dog do when it found the right urine?

A. It would lie down next to its owner’s feet.

B. It would take the urine to the scientists.

C. It would lie down next to the urine.

D. It would make some noises.

4.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. Dogs have a good sense of smell.

B. Dogs can help people become healthy.

C. Dogs can be used in experiments.

D. Dogs can smell cancer.

5.Who may be most interested in reading the passage?
