As they went along, they saw lying in the path a pair of old shoes, which they supposed to belong to a poor man who was employed in a field close by, and who had 43 finished his day's work.
   The student turned to the professor, saying:"Let us play the man a 44 : we will hide his shoes, and wait to see his 45 when he cannot find them.""My young friend," answered the professor,"we 46 never amuse ourselves 47 he poor.

   第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项标号涂黑。
   A
   It’s impossible to determine how many people would have lost their lives without the contribution of African-American inventor Dr Charles Drew.
   Charles Drew was born on June 3, 1904, in Washington, DC. His early interest was in education, but he was also an outstanding athlete. While in college, he was awarded as the man who contributed the most to sports during his four years in school. Drew’s sister Elsie suffered from tuberculosis(肺结核) and died in 1920. Her death influenced his decision to study medicine.
   After becoming a doctor and working as a college instructor, Drew went to Columbia University, where he earned his Doctor of Medical Science degree. During this time he became involved in research on blood and blood transfusions (输血).
   At Columbia, he wrote a paper on “banked blood”, in which he described a technique he developed for the long-term preservation of blood plasma (血浆). Before his discovery, blood could not be stored for more than two days because of the rapid breakdown of red blood cells. Drew had discovered that by separating the plasma from the whole blood and then refrigerating (冷冻) them separately, they could be combined a week later for a blood transfusion. Drew became the first African American to receive a PhD in medical science.
   After World War II broke out, Drew was called upon to put his techniques into practice. He was named a project director for the American Red Cross but soon quit his post after the government issued an order that blood taken from white donors (献血者) should be separated from that of black donors.
   On April 1, 1950, after he attended the annual free clinic at the John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital, he and other three physicians decided to drive back home. As he was tired from spending the night before in the operating room, he lost control of his car. Drew was badly injured and was taken to Alamance General Hospital in Burlington, North Carolina. He was pronounced dead half an hour after he first received medical attention. Drew's funeral was held on April 5, 1950, at the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church in Washington, DC.
   Butcontrary to popular thought, he was not refused a blood transfusion by an all-white hospital. He indeed received a transfusion but was beyond the help of the doctors attending to him. As Dr. John Ford, one of the doctors who survived the accident, later explained, “We all received the very best of care. The fact that he was a Black did not in any way limit the care that was given to him.” Over the years, Drew has been considered one of the most honored figures in the medical field.
   61. According to the passage, might have contributed to the invention of blood banks.
   1. the combination of blood cells
      B. the rapid breakdown of red blood cells
      C. the development of refrigerating technique
      D. the technique of separating plasma from the whole blood
      62. By saying “contrary to the popular thought” in the last paragraph, the writer .
      A. can’t understand the doctors’ decision
      B. indicates his concern about the popular thought
      C. feels disappointed with the all-white hospital
      D. means what the doctors did was out of expectation
      63. We can learn from the passage that Dr Charles Drew is best remembered by people as .
      1. an outstanding athleteB. a college instructor
         C. a medical researcherD. a project director
         64. What conclusion can we draw from the passage?
         A. Charles Drew died in a medical accident.
         B. African Americans were still treated unfairly in the 1940s.
         C. Charles Drew was the first African American to receive a PhD.
         D. Physicians refused to give Charles Drew medical attention because he was a black.
         65.In which section of a magazine can we most probably find the passage?
         1. PeopleB. Health C. CultureD. Entertainment

B

Think about the last time you felt a negative emotion—like stress, anger, or frustration. What was going through your mind as you were going through that negativity? Was your mind cluttered with (充斥) different kinds of thoughts? Or was it paralyzed, unable to think?

The next time you find yourself in the middle of a very stressful time, or you feel angry or frustrated, stop. Yes, that’s right, stop. Whatever you’re doing, stop and sit for one minute. While you’re sitting there, completely immerse yourself in the negative emotion. Allow that emotion to consume you. Allow yourself one minute to truly feel that emotion. Don’t cheat yourself here. Take the entire minute—but only one minute—to do nothing else but feel that emotion.

When the minute is over, ask yourself, “Am I willing to keep holding on to this negative emotion as I go through the rest of the day?” Once you’ve allowed yourself to be totally immersed in the emotion and really feel it, you will be surprised to find that the emotion clears rather quickly.

If you feel you need to hold on to the emotion for a little longer, that is OK. Allow yourself another minute to feel the emotion. When you feel you’ve had enough of the emotion, ask yourself if you’re willing to carry that negativity with you for the rest of the day. If not, take a deep breath. As you exhale, release all that negativity with your breath.

This exercise seems simple—almost too simple. But, it is very effective. By allowing that negative emotion the space to be truly felt, you are dealing with the emotion rather than stuffing it down and trying not to feel it. You are actually taking away the power of the emotion by giving it the space and attention it needs. When you immerse yourself in the emotion, and realize that it is only emotion, it loses its control. You can clear your head and proceed with your task.

66. Which one does not belong to the negative emotion?

A. anxiety B. confusion C. depression D. sorrow

67. What should you do when you are into negativity according to the article?

A. Listen to some music.

B. Ignore it and do something else.

C. Just do nothing and truly feel that emotion.

D. Think about it and try to deal with it immediately.

68. The underlined word “immerse” (Paragraph 2) most probably means _____.

A. break down B. get rid of C. cut off D. throw into

69. What’s the best title of this text?

A. Clear Your Mental Space.

B. Deep Breath, Trouble Away.

C. Try to Avoid the Negative Emotion.

D. Keep Holding on to This Negative Emotion as Long as Possible.

70. The author’s opinion towards negative emotion is _____.

A. doubtful B. optimistic C. frightened D. confused

C

Most parents of kids under age 8 don’t worry about how much time they spend watching TV or using other media, from computers to smart phones to tablets PCs, according to a new survey that found a child’s use of media often reflects how much time parents spend in the similar way．

“We generally found that media use is not a source of conflict in the home” for families with young children, Ellen Wartella, a researcher from Northwestem University, told USA Today． She led a survey of 2,326 parents who have children 8 and younger. It found that in 80 percent of families, children’s media use was not a problem, with 55 percent “not too” or “not at all” concerned about it. It also showed parents have more positive than negative feelings about how media consumption affects a child’s learning and the development of creativity. The exception is video games, which are viewed more negatively than TV, computers or mobile devices. “Parents rated video games as more likely to have a negative effect on children's school performance, attention time, creativity, social skills, behavior and sleep than any other medium,” the researchers said in a news conference about the survey.

“The findings exposes a generational shift (转移) in parental attitudes about technology’s role in young children's lives,” said Wartella. “Today's parents grew up with technology as a central pact of their lives, so they think about it differently than earlier generations of parents, instead of a battle with kids on one side and parents on the other, the use of media and technology has become a family affair.”

The researchers identified three media environments created by parents: media-centric (39 percent of families), media-moderate (45%) and media-light (16%). Children in media-centric families spend at least three hours more each day watching TV or using computers, video games and tablet PCs don't make parenting easier. And 88 percent of parents say they are most likely to turn to toys or activities to keep their children occupied. Slightly fewer turn to books (79%) and TV (78%).

The survey didn’t look at how media affects children. That’s a topic that the American Academy of Pediatrics has handled a number of times. The AAP says studies have found too much media use can lead to attention- problems, school difficulties, sleep and eating disorders and being fat. In addition, the Internet and cell phones can provide platforms for illegal and risky behaviors. “By limiting screen time and offering educational media and non-electronic formats (格式) such as books, newspapers and board games, and watching television with their children, parents can help guide their children’s media experience. Putting questionable content into context and teaching kids a700ut advertising contributes to their media literacy (素养),” it says．

The pediatricians’ group says parents should have “screen-free zones” and TV should be turned off during dinner. At most, it recommends children and teens engage with entertainment media for no more than two hours a day and that should be high-quality content. It is important for kids to spend time on outdoor play, reading, hobbies and using their imaginations in free play. “Kids under 2 should not use television and other entertainment media because their brains are developing quickly and they learn best from direct human interaction,” the group says.

An article on screen time by the Mayo Clinic also notes problems linked to over screen time, including being fat, irregular sleep, behavioral problems, weak school performance, violence and less time for active and creative play.

71．Parents have more negative than positive feelings about media consumption like .

A. computers B. smart phones

C. video games D. tablets PCs

72．Most parents don’t worry about kid’s media use because .

A. they can limit the screen time B. they want their children happy

C. they also grew up with technologyD. they can teach their children themselves

73．From the data of the survey, we learn .

A. children in media-centric families are smarter than others

B. children in media-light families spend one hour watching TV

C. more than half of the parents think children's media use was a problem

D. media-centric children spend more than three hours each day on media use

74．To make parenting easier, most parents probably .

A. try to persuade their children to read books

B. ask their children questions while watching TV

C. allow their children watching TV or using computers

D. turn to toys or activities to keep their children occupied

75．Which of the following is a suggestion by the researchers?

A. Media use time for babies under 2 should be limited.

B. Entertainment media use should be high-quality content.

C. Schools should provide more time for active and creative play.

D. Home media use should provide platforms for illegal and risky behaviors.

第二节：下面文章中有5个段落需要添加首句（第76-80题）。请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中选出适合各段落的首句，并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。

A. Believe that you are able to change.

B. Look for a role model.

C. Have a positive attitude.

D. Identify and understand what you want to change.

E. Choose the right company.

F. Think about how your attitude change will affect your life.

“Our attitude toward life determines life’s attitude towards us.” We’ve all heard about the power of our attitude, and that it’s our attitude that determines how much we succeed in life.

76 _____________________________The first step towards change is clearly understanding what needs to be changed. Setting clear goals is the key to success in any endeavor. When it comes to changing your attitude, you need to do an honest and in-depth self-evaluation so you could point out exactly which of your traits need to be improved or totally changed.

77._____________________________ We all need to know that what we’re trying to accomplish can in fact be achieved; that we can be more optimistic, more social or more patient. Find someone who has the kind of attitude that you want to have, and let his or her life give you inspiration and encouragement to move beyond your temporary failures in your journey towards becoming a better person.

78. ____________________________ To be able to hurtle through (克服) all the difficulties that lie ahead of you in your journey towards self betterment, you need to figure out exactly what this supposed change could bring to your life. Will changing your attitude mean a happier family or social life? Will a change in your attitude mean a more successful career or business? Fix your mind on the things that would come as a result of your attitude change and you will have a greater chance of reaching your goal.

79.____________________________ As they say, “Bad company corrupts good character.” You don't expect yourself to be able to change if you go on surrounding yourself with people who possess all the negative traits that you want to change. Consider befriending new people, especially those who are optimistic and have a healthy attitude towards life. You will see that your effort to change will be easier with these kinds of people as friends.

80. ___________________________ Often, the greatest obstacle between us and our goals is ourselves or our inability to trust in what we are able to do. If you don’t believe in yourself or believe that you or your life can change, it just won’t happen—you will either never start, or give up quickly so you won’t have even given yourself the opportunity to succeed.

书面表达：

According to a survey, in recent years monthly expenses of a middle school student have been on the sharp rise. Many students have no concept of thrift in their mind. They take it for granted that they spend money from their parents. This phenomenon is mainly caused by the following factors.

First of all, nowadays most of the students are the only children of their families. They are the apple in their family’s eyes and naturally get more care and pocket money. In addition, with the improvement of living standards, parents can afford higher expenses of their children. Moreover, some students like to pursue fashion.

From my opinion of view, a middle school student, as a pure consumer, should learn to be thrifty.We should limit our expenses and not buy whatever we want regardless of their price. The habit of thrift can help us form right values and is favorable to our future development.
