Christine Marie Evert was born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. She learned to p]ay tennis from her father. Because she learned to play on the slow clay tennis courts which are common in southern Florida, Evert is at her best on slow courts.

In 1974, she won the women’s singles title in two major tournaments. These titles were at Wimbledon, the British championship, and the French Open, which is played on clay. Later she won the U.S. and Australian Opens, the two other major tennis championships.
Evert set an impressive record of wins on clay courts. From August 1973 to May 1979, a period of almost six years, Evert beat 125 opponents. Her unbelievable record will be remembered for a very long time in the sports world.
In 1979, Evert married English tennis player John Lloyd.

Twelve years ago, oceanographer Captain Charles Moore was skippering his yacht the Alguita in the North Pacific. He sailed into a mass of floating plastic rubbish which took him and his crew a week to cross. This floating rubbish dump is now called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and doubles the size of the USA.
The United Nations says there are now 18,000 pieces of plastic in every square kilometre of sea everywhere in the world. A walk along any beach will give you some idea of the seriousness of plastic pollution.
The trouble is, when we throw out plastic with the trash, the plastic doesn"t go away. Plastic does not biodegrade. It photo degrades into smaller and smaller particles which then enter the food chain.
Plastics contain cancer-causing chemicals along the food chain in increasing concentrations and end up in our fish and chips, along with hormone disruptors. Scientists try to tell us that we are killing ourselves as well as other animals. At least 200 species are, as I speak, being killed by plastic.
Whales, dolphins, turtles and albatross confuse floating plastic, especially shopping bags and six pack rings, with jellyfish.
Some countries have rebelled and banned plastic bags. And the first was brave Bangladesh. Then China took the same decision. Botswana, Canada, Israel, Kenya, Rwanda, Singapore and South Africa have also banned plastic bags. Notice how many of the world"s richest countries are not on this list. It"s an absolute disgrace.
Think globally, act locally. A small Australian town is now one step ahead of the rest of the world. The inhabitants of Bundanoon in New South Wales have banned plastic bottles from the town.
We need to follow their example and eliminate plastic from our lives, take care of the earth and vote for people we think will do the same.
The writer says that we can get an idea of how much plastic rubbish there is in the oceans by________. 查看材料
A.looking at the sea
B.travelling across the USA
C.sailing across the Pacific
D.taking a walk along any beach
根据下面内容,回答题:
The crowd stirred and whispered in awe as, on the stage, the horse slowly tapped out the beat.Everyone became tense and quiet as the number of taps neared the correct answer to the horse trainer"s question.After the final tap, the horse paused, seemed to look around and stopped.The crowd went wild !
The horse"s name was Clever Hans, the Educated Horse, and was featured in a vaudeville(杂耍)act in the early 1900s, in Europe.When asked a complicated mathematical question by his owner,Clever Hans would tap out the correct answer with his hooves.For example, if the answer was sixty-eight, Hans would tap out six with his left hoof and eight with his right hoof.Even more remarkable,the owner would leave the room after asking the question, so there could be no secret signal between owner and horse.A mere animal seemed to be accomplishing a highly technical skill of man"s!
It wasn"t until years later that the secret of the trick was revealed.The owner had trained Clever Hans to respond to slight signals.The horse became so sensitive that he learned when to stop from the crowd"s reaction.Members of the audience would start involuntarily, or give some unconscious signal,when Hans reached the right answer.Modern scientists now warn against the Clever Hans syndrome(综合征 ), whereby researchers unconsciously give clues to their animal subjects about the actions they like to see performed!
This passage is mainly about________. 查看材料
A.animal intelligence
B.mathematical skills
C.Clever Hans
D.unconscious behavior
