Reading Comprehension
Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions below.（阅读下面短文，然后回答问题。）
Sheffield, UK, May 4 (Xinhua) — 22-year-old post-00s Chinese snooker player Wu Yize won the 2026 World Snooker Championship by defeating Shaun Murphy 18-17, becoming the first post-00s to claim the title, a milestone for Chinese snooker.
Wu's journey was tough but splendid: he beat Lei Peifan 10-2, Mark Selby 13-11 (ending his losing streak), and Hossein Vafaei 13-8 to reach the semi-finals.
In the semi-final against Mark Allen, Wu came back from 14-16 down to win 17-16 after Allen missed the match ball, becoming the first post-00s finalist.
The final against "Magician" Murphy was a seesaw. Wu led 3-0 early, built a 10-7 advantage, and held a narrow 13-12 lead into the final session.
Murphy's 131 maximum break tied it 16-16, but Wu won the decider with an 85 break to secure the title 18-17.
Born in Lanzhou, Wu started snooker at 7, trained in Sheffield at 16, and overcame hardships with his parents' support.
His victory is China's second consecutive World Championship win (after Zhao Xintong 2025); he is also the second Asian and second-youngest Crucible winner.
Wu thanked his parents as his spiritual motivation and expressed pride in fighting for his country.
Snooker stars praised him: O'Sullivan predicted he could be world No.1; Murphy joked about his prediction coming true; Ding noted Chinese snooker's era is coming.
Wu's ranking rose to 4th, showcasing post-00s spirit and embodying Chinese sports perseverance.

Answers（答案）
1.B（细节理解题。由第一段“won the 2026 World Snooker Championship by defeating Shaun Murphy 18-17”可知，吴宜泽以18-17击败肖恩·墨菲夺冠。）
2.C（词义猜测题。由第四段“Wu led 3-0 early, built a 10-7 advantage, and held a narrow 13-12 lead”及后文“tied it 16-16”“won the decider”可知，决赛双方比分交替上升，势均力敌，故“seesaw”意为“拉锯战”。）
3.C（细节判断题。由第八段“he is also the second Asian”可知，他是第二位获得该冠军的亚洲人，并非第一位，C项错误。）
4.C（推理判断题。由第十段“Snooker stars praised him”及后文奥沙利文、墨菲、丁俊晖的评价可知，许多斯诺克明星对吴宜泽评价很高，C项正确；A项与第八段“with his parents' support”矛盾；B项与第四段、第七段比分变化矛盾；D项与第十一段“Wu's ranking rose to 4th”矛盾。）
5.C（主旨大意题。文章围绕吴宜泽赢得2026年世界斯诺克锦标赛、成为首位00后冠军、创造历史展开，C项最能概括主旨。）
