People think children should play sports, which are fun. However, playing sports can have 36 effects on children. It may produce feelings of poor self-respect or aggressive(挑衅的) 37 in some children. According to a research on kids and sports, 40,000,000 kids play sports in the US. Of these, 18,000,000 say they have been 38 at or called names while playing sports. This leaves many children with a bad 39 of sports. They think sports are just too aggressive and are afraid that they will get 40 in sports.

Many researchers believe adults, especially parents and coaches, are the main

41 of too much aggression in children's sports. In their opinion, children tend to

42 aggressive adult behavior. This behavior is then further 43 through both positive and negative feedback. Parents and coaches are powerful teachers because children usually 44 them. Often these adults behave aggressively themselves, sending children the message that 45 is everything. Many parents go to children's sporting events and shout at other players 46 or cheer when their child behaves aggressively. As well, children are even taught that hurting other players is 47 or are pushed to continue playing even when they are injured. 48 ,

the media makes violence seem exciting. Children watch adult sports games and see violent behavior 49 over and over on television.

As a society, we really need to 50 this problem. Parents and coaches 51

should act as better examples for children. They also need to teach children better

52 . They should not just cheer when children win or act aggressively. They should teach children to respect themselves 53 they win or not. It’s vital that children should not be 54 to continue to play when they are injured. If adults allow children to play when injured, this gives the message that 55 is not as important as winning.

请认真阅读下列短文, 从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

It began a year ago, around Christmas.

Every time I drove down our street, I noticed an old man sitting in his front yard. He was usually smoking or drinking, and looking rather sad. One day, while I was driving past him with my daughter, I decided to wave at him with a lot of excitement. Initially, when he noticed me waving at him, he looked a bit shocked. Then, I saw his hand go up and he waved back. “Why did you wave at him?” my daughter asked. I told her that it’s just an act of kindness that doesn’t cost anything, and it gives both him and me a sense of joy. She responded by saying that she was a bit embarrassed to wave to a stranger, but next time she would try it as well. We lived close to the old man, so we saw him rather often. Whenever we drove by, both of us would start waving at him and, pretty soon, the old man started waving at everyone who passed by his home. One day, my daughter’s friend came to visit and she told my daughter that she saw this strange old man near our home who waved at her very excitedly. She mentioned that she waved back at him, even though she didn’t know him, and it felt really good. Upon hearing this, my daughter told her friend the story of how all the waving began. Her friend responded, “Tell your mom that’s really cool!” Other friends made similar comments, and this response taught my daughter just how much an act of kindness can be very natural and effortless, if you really want to do it. It showed us how giving happiness benefits both the giver and the receiver.

The other day, my friend shared similar opinions with me. “I have been meaning to talk to you about this man who waves at us every time we come to your house!” she said. My husband then told her the story about how it all began last year.

Inspired by all these positive ripples (涟漪), we’re planning to give our elderly waving neighbor a thank-you card, to express our thanks for the warm presence that he communicates through his enthusiastic waves. We really appreciate him sharing his simple joy with all who pass by his house.

56. The old man was ______ when he saw the author waving at him for the first time. A. amused B. thankful C. surprised D. excited

57. The author waved at the old neighbor ______. A. to show kindness to the old man B. to respond to the old man’s greetings

C. to help the old man quit smoking and drinking D. to show her daughter how to greet strangers politely

58. What did her daughter’s friends respond to the waving story? A. They criticized the author.

B. They were in favor of the author’s behavior.

C. They held different opinions about the waving story.

D. They didn’t recognize the meaning of waving to strangers.

59. What does the author mainly want to tell us with this article? A. Good habits start with small gestures. B. We should never judge a book by its cover. C. Kind actions benefit both givers and receivers. D. We should send presents to the people around us.

B

My Love from the Star has such an intense following, it’s got its fans acting crazy. The show appeared on December 18, 2013 and had an average viewers of 24% in Korea. It was then sold to China where it’s been viewed online through iqiyi, a Chinese video streaming platform, for about 14.5 billion times.

The story is attractive: An alien lands 400 years ago in Korea. Fast forward to present, he meets his love — a haughty(傲慢的) star, and inevitably falls in love with her.

The show has started all sorts of trends, namely one for chicken and beer as it’s the heroine’s favorite food combination.

Resulting in over 3.7 million posts on China’s micro-blogging platform about “chicken and beer” in the weeks following the broadcast of every part of this play.

Even China’s A-list celebrities bought into the trend. Gao Yuanyuan posted this photo with the words: “First snow. Where’s my fried chicken and beer?”

It is said that, in Chongqing, a woman dumped her boyfriend after he refused to buy her fried chicken in the middle of the night because he wasn’t as romantic as the show’s leading man.　

Another story reported that a 50-year-old Chinese woman suffered a heart attack from late night binge-watching and getting too “emotional” over the storyline.

When Chinese officials met in Beijing last month, the show was the hottest topic of discussion. They debated why China hasn’t made a show nearly as popular.

However, there is also a critical voice: the CPPCC National Committee even went so far as to believe that the fanaticism(狂热) sparked by My Love from the Star has hurt the self-respect of Chinese culture.

60. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A. My Love from the Star appeared at the end of 2013 in Korea.

B. An old Chinese woman suffered a heart attack from binge-watching.

C. Most Chinese like this show and think it has a positive influence on our culture.

D. The show has started all sorts of trends like the favorite food combination.

61. Why did the woman in Chongqing end a romantic relationship with her boyfriend?

A. He said this show hurt his self-respect.

B. He didn’t like to watch this show with her.

C. He wasn’t as romantic as the show’s leading actor.

D. He refused to buy her fried chicken and beer on a snowy evening.

62. Which edition is this article likely to appear on?

A. Health B. Technology C. Economy D. Culture

South Africa has 11 official languages. If you want to say hello, it's "sawubona" in Zulu, and "hallo" in Afrikaans. Now, South Africa's school children may start using "ni hao" to say hello.

The country's education minister says, the nation is adding the Mandarin language teaching in some schools. Mandarin is the official spoken language of China. That country is a major trading power for South Africa.

A recent agreement between the two nations centers on five areas of cooperation. They include development in basic education, school books and lessons, mathematics and science, teacher training and career education and research.

South Africa officials have not said how much the teaching of Mandarin will cost. Troy Martens is an official with South Africa's Ministry of Basic Education. She says the new partnership is extremely valuable.

A public opinion study last year found that South Africans have mixed feelings about China. The survey showed 46 percent of South Africans do not like the spread of Chinese ideas and customs in their country, the results also showed that 60 percent dislike Chinese music, movies and television.

But Ms Martens said Chinese trade is more important than those feelings. She said it is extremely helpful to learners in South Africa to study Mandarin.

"Now this will not be compulsory, it will not be for every school, and it will not be for every child. But for schools that feel they have the capacity to offer Mandarin as a subject, we think it is a great opportunity for South African learners to be exposed to this international type of language," said Martens.

Lisette Noonan heads the 80-year-old Pretoria Chinese School in South Africa's capital. The school serves about 500 students from kindergarten to grade 12. Every student studies Mandarin.

Ms Noonan says the school welcomes the new cooperation between South Africa and China. She said it is in the best interests of children to study Mandarin.

63.​ What does the underlined word “Mandarin” mean?

A. Trade. B. Putonghua. C. Dialect. D. Culture.

64.​ A recent agreement between the two nations focuses on several areas of cooperation EXCEPT_______.

A. basic education

B. economic development

C. mathematics and science

D. career education and research

65.​ Troy Martens’ attitude towards adding the Mandarin language teaching in some schools is _________

A. doubtful B. favorable C. indifferent D. negative

66.​ What can be inferred from the passage?

A. 46 percent of South Africans accepted Chinese ideas and customs.

B. South Africa officials thought teaching Mandarin cost much money.

C. 60 percent of South Africans dislike Chinese music, movies and television.

D. Lisette Noonan is glad to see the cooperation between South Africa and China.

Friday was my husband’s birthday, but we spent most of it in the car. We were driving to Phoenix for the weekend to celebrate his birthday and see the Warriors play the Suns. My husband is a lucky man. Not only has he lived to see another birthday, but he’s married to a woman who likes basketball and doesn’t mind driving 300 miles (480km) to see a game. In the car, his cell phone kept ringing with birthday greetings from family and friends. He put them all on speakerphone so he could drive with both hands and I could listen in, even though it wasn’t my birthday. The western sky colored up slowly, painting feather-like clouds in the singular shades of pinks and purples and grays that I’ve come to love in sunsets. I wish you could have seen it. The rough road got rougher. My bad knee kept begging for a break, and dinner was still miles away. Soon, oncoming headlights sliced the dark like lasers and stabbed at our eyes. Meanwhile, on the CD player, the Reverend Al Green began to sing Love and Happiness. A little good music makes a bad road better. An hour later, we checked into the hotel, got dinner and sat out on a rooftop (屋顶) feeling glad to be alive. We had a great weekend—we ate too much, slept too little and the Warriors, well, they lost. But still, it was all worth the drive. Isn’t it always? On the way home, I started thinking about birthdays. In our family, we celebrate four in January, four in February, and all the others throughout the year. Mine is next week. If I’m lucky, like my husband, I’ll get cards and calls and maybe a few videos. I don’t need presents any more. When you’ve seen as many birthdays as I’ve seen, the only gift you truly want is getting to see one more. Birthdays are the mile markers on the road of life. They tell us how far we’ve come, but not how far we’ve yet to go. Life is a journey more than a destination. What matters is whom we choose as traveling companions, and how often we get to sit back and enjoy the ride.

67. Why does the author say “my husband is a lucky man”? A. He married a beautiful girl.

B. He got so many presents at his birthday.

C. He has a good wife during his life journey.

D. The author celebrated his birthday for once. 68. Which of the following help the couple go through the long, difficult drive to Phoenix? a. The rare basketball tickets. b. The great views along the way.

c. The music played on their CD player. d. The birthday greetings from family and friends. A. a b c B. b c d C. a c d D. a b d

69. What kind of birthday gift does the author really want? A. Watching a live NBA game. B. Calls and cards from friends. C. Being able to live another year. D. Videos from friends and family.

70. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Life is a journey B. My lucky husband C. Mile markers on the road of life D. Driving to see the Warriors play the Suns

How to Keep Other's Negative Attitudes From Affecting Us

The people you hang around can have a big effect on your own feelings. When you are constantly around people who have negative attitudes, you begin to become a more negative person yourself. Recognizing that this is harmful is the first step to overcoming the problem. It's not always possible to remove people with negative attitudes from your life, but when you start to focus on the more positive things in your life, the negative attitudes of others will stop affecting you. Catch yourself having negative thoughts and turn them into positive ones. When you're around negative people, negative thoughts start to go into your mind. If this happens to you, change the thought into something that's good. For example, if you find yourself feeling down because you can't afford to eat at the nicest restaurant in town, think about how lucky you are to have a spouse that knows just how to make your favorite food.

Take a break to refresh your mind and spirit. Excuse yourself to the restroom or take a brief walk outside. During this time, remind yourself of the good things in your life.

Offer positive solutions to the people with negative attitudes. Rather than nodding in agreement when a friend is complaining about her boss or her husband, offer her some concrete ideas that she can use to deal with the problems in her life.

 Refuse to be involved in gripe sessions. Those with negative attitudes tend to feed off of each other and it's easy to find yourself caught in a gripe session, with everyone doing nothing but complaining. Don't say any negative things and excuse yourself the first chance that you get.

Focus on friendships with positive people. It's impossible to avoid negative people at all times. However, you don't have to spend all of your time with them. Instead, make friends with the people who have a positive outlook on life. Their feelings will inspire you as well.

Attitudes toward life color everything. Those who have a positive attitude do better at work, have stronger relationships with family and friends and get sick less often. Every individual is unique, but those with positive attitudes tend to share certain qualities. Surrounding yourselves with positive people, you manage to keep a youthful outlook no matter how old you are.

To be continued or not?

The annual campus cultural festival has drawn back its curtain again. A discussion has been put forward whether it is necessary to hold the campus cultural festival again.

Some students believe that campus cultural festival can offer a wonderful stage for students to show their talents. Apart from helping students promote their interest in study, a series of activities also enrich the campus culture and make campus atmosphere more active.

However, some students hold different views. They emphasize that they have been kept busy with their study and have no time to spare for the activities of the campus cultural festival. They also state that they can not benefit much from some activities, which in their opinion have little to do with their study.

From my point of view, holding the campus cultural festival is a must. On the one hand, more students will be motivated to develop their potential abilities which will make them qualified for their future positions. On the other hand, students will find it a good chance to relax themselves as well as gain much knowledge that can’t be found in the book.
