In the final of the 2026 Snooker (斯诺克) Tour Championship, Zhao Xintong beat Judd Trump, the world’s No. 1 player, by 10-3. He won his fourth championship this season. He also became the first player in history to win three titles in the Player Series in one season.

Zhao Xintong was born in Shenzhen, Guangdong in 1997. He first played snooker at age 8. His father took him to a club, and he fell in love with this sport at once. His parents encouraged him and bought him a snooker table when he was 10. They even hired (聘请) a coach to teach him.

Zhao is hard-working and brave. He loves snooker deeply, and he also misses his family a lot when he travels around for training and matches. When he feels homesick, he calls or sends WeChat messages to his mother. Talking to his mother makes him feel better and gives him more energy to keep going. He also likes to eat delicious Chinese food to ease (缓解) his homesickness.

Zhao became a professional player in 2016. He had some difficult times. He was once banned (禁止) from playing for 20 months. But he never gave up. He kept training hard and learned from his mistakes. In 2025, Zhao became the first Asian player to win the World Snooker Championship.

1.1.What do we learn about Zhao from Paragraph 1?

A He lost the final game.

B He set a new record.

C He won ten games easily.

D He is world’s top player.

解析：选B。B细节理解题。第一段最后一句明确指出：“He also became the first player in history to win three titles in the Player Series in one season.” 这说明他创造了一项新纪录（set a new record）。A项错误，因为他赢了决赛；C项“轻松赢了十场”文中未提；D项说他“是世界顶级选手”，但文中只说他击败了世界第一，他本人并非世界第一。因此B正确。

2.2. What was Zhao’s parents’ attitude to his playing snooker?

A They supported him.

B They praised him.

C They laughed at him.

D They stopped him.

解析：选A。A推理判断题。第二段提到“His parents encouraged him and bought him a snooker table when he was 10. They even hired (聘请) a coach to teach him.”他的父母一直鼓励他，并在他10岁时给他买了一张斯诺克球桌。他们甚至还聘请了一位教练来教他打球。这些行为明确表明父母是支持他的。B项“表扬”文中未直接提及；C项“嘲笑”、D项“阻止”均与事实相反。因此选A。

3.3. What helps Zhao ease homesickness?

A Cooking delicious meals.

B Shopping with friends.

C Talking with his mother.

D Watching snooker matches.

解析：选C。C细节理解题。第三段中提到：“When he feels homesick, he calls or sends WeChat messages to his mother. Talking to his mother makes him feel better...” 这表明与母亲交谈能缓解他的思乡之情。A项“烹饪美食”文中只提到“吃中国美食”，不是“烹饪”；B、D两项未提及。故选C。

4.4. What happened to Zhao in 2025?

A He gave up snooker.

B He began his training.

C He won a world title.

D He was banned for months.

解析：选C。C细节理解题。第四段最后一句明确写道：“In 2025, Zhao became the first Asian player to win the World Snooker Championship.” 因此，他在2025年赢得了世界冠军。A项“放弃斯诺克”与事实相反；B项“开始训练”是他更早的经历；D项“被禁赛数月”发生在2025年之前。故选C。

5.5. What’s the best title of the passage?

A Give up when in trouble.

B Only dream of winning.

C Practice ten hours daily.

D Never give up dreams.

解析：选D。D 主旨大意题。全文讲述了赵心童从少年接触斯诺克到成为职业选手，经历禁赛低谷后仍坚持训练，最终取得世界冠军，并在结尾鼓励年轻人“stick to their dreams”“keep trying”。因此，“Never give up dreams”（永不放弃梦想）最能概括文章主旨。A项“遇难而退”与文意相反；B项“只梦想胜利”过于片面；C项“每天练习十小时”文中未提及具体时长。故选D。
