试题分析：这篇短文为我们讲述的是网球这项运动的历史和发展。网球起源于法国，一度为英国人所喜爱。后来在这项运动中出现了欺骗，所以这项运动一度消失了一段时间。后来美国人发现了这项运动，又将其发扬起来。

1.句意：网球的第一场比赛开始于法国。根据句意可知这句话说的是过去的事情，故应该用一般过去时。

2.句意：这项运动的名字来源于法国单词tennez。这句话讲的是tennis这项运动的名字的由来，是从一个法国单词来的。

3.句意：八百年前，英国人观看法国人比赛是称这项运动为tennis。call 称呼，把…叫做。

4.句意：就像现在一样，在每个城市的每个公园里都修建了网球场。built 修建，其原形是build。

5.句意：开始的时候，他们是为了荣誉而战。honour 荣誉。

6.句意：三百年前，为了阻止欺骗，这项运动被停止了。stop the cheating，停止欺骗，阻止欺骗。

7.句意：这项运动也消失了。根据前文可知由于在比赛中出现了欺骗的现象，故比赛被停止了，因而这项运动也就消失了，在英国没有了这项运动。

8.句意：他们学会了怎样玩这项运动。what 在这里引导的是一个宾语从句。

9.句意：网球在全美国流行起来。popular 流行的，受欢迎的。

10.句意：现在它又成了世界上最令人激动的比赛之一。exciting 令人兴奋的，令人激动的。
