The Science Museum in the UK is holding an exhibition called "Zimingzhong: Clockwork Treasures from China's Forbidden City". The exhibition features 23 clocks, mainly (collect)by three Qing emperors. The clocks aim to tell some (story)about the meaning of technology and skills, as well as the people and cultures  appeared during this small window of trade between Britain and China.

"The Emperors and Zimingzhong" section of the exhibition reveals the important role played  zimingzhong in early cultural exchanges. In the early 17th century, missionaries tried to please the Qing emperors by (send)them delicately made automatic devices.

In the middle section of the exhibition, a scale model of the Chinese water-powered "escapement" reveals that in  year 1088, during the Song Dynasty, Su Song created the(world)first water-powered astronomical clock tower. In the 1960s, scholars rediscovered an ancient text about it. This (discover)challenges the long-held idea that mechanical clocks originated (entire)in Europe.

Zimingzhong initially (enter)China from Guangzhou, Guangdong Province. Following this year-long trade route, British businessmen, upon reaching the coastal areas of China, purchased sought-after goods, including silk, tea and porcelain.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的ABCD四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Coco Gauff used to visit the Grand Slam tournament (大满贯锦标赛) as a kid to see her idols Serena and Venus Williams. Now she is a champion there herself. On Sept 9, the 19-year-old from the US won her first major women's singles title at the 2023 US Open (美国网球公开赛).

After an average start, Gauff surged to a 2-6, 6-3, 6-2 victory over her bigger, stronger opponent, Aryna Sabalenka, from Belarus, who became the new world No.1 the day after the tournament ended.

Unlike the Williams sisters, who have obvious force and power, Gauff is small and slim. But she moves fast on the tennis court. Forbes magazine said, "She is the quickest and perhaps already the best returner of impossible shots in tennis history."

Even though Sabalenka is a very powerful hitter, it felt like she had to finish each point four or five times, as Gauff's defense was so perfect, noted The Telegraph. This ended up frustrating Sabalenka and caused her to make 46 unforced errors.

Gauff thus became the first American teenager to win the US Open since Serena Williams, then 17, in 

1999. When asked about "taking the torch" from the 23-time Grand Slam winner and the similarity between their tennis careers, Gauff told ESPN, "Serena is Serena. She's the greatest of all time... I'd hope to do half of what she did. But I'm not going to compare myself to her. She's some one that I look up to."

Now, Gauff's big win has left tennis fans wondering: When's her next Grand Slam? That's no easy task. Two of the past four US Open women's champions were teenagers at the time, Canada's Bianca Andreescu in 2019 and the UK's Emma Raducanu in 2021, and neither has come close to repeating their success yet. But one thing about Gauff is certain — that at just 19 years old, the sky's the limit.
