IV. 排序(每空 1 分,共 5 分)
根据上下文及每个段落的语意,为每个段落选择合适的顺序,使其符合合理的逻辑。
A. At the recent 2023 Australian Open,18-year-old Chinese player Shang Juncheng made headlines.
B. “It was the first Grand Slam event in which I have played as an adult,so that made it very special,” Shang said. “Competing against the top players means I can learn a lot. Their performances and the way they think,on and off the court,are totally different to those of junior players.”
C. In his Grand Slam debut(首秀),he reached the second round of the men’s singles(单打比赛). This made him the first male player from the Chinese mainland to win a main draw match at the Australian Open in the Open era(公开赛时代).
D. Shang has been building this strength since childhood. Starting from around 5 years old, he played many sports with his parents,who were also once athletes. From this,he got the idea of “never giving up”. “You always stand a chance until the game is over,” he said. “(It’s)the most basic idea of every athlete ... No matter how talented an athlete is,it takes a lot of time for one to build up.”
E. What Shang has learned is not only physical skills but also mental strength. “Tennis is a sport that doesn’t end with a tie,” he said. “Sometimes you can lose your temper. But a good player can count on his mental strength to stay calm and think positive.”
