15．第一節(jié) 完形填空
Many sports players have not only accomplished incredible （不可思議的）acts of athleticism（運動能力），but also unbelievable acts of sportsmanship．There were some （21）C examples in 2014，and I have （22）B two that inspired me．
One example of sportsmanship took place in the Sochi Olympics．Russian Anton Gafarov was hobbling（蹣跚而行） along the track，far （23）A the rest of the skiers．One of his skis was broken．He had tried to （24）D with the damaged equipment．Canadian ski coach Justin Wadsworth was the only one who had an extra．Wadsworth didn't want Gafarov to finish slowly，hobbling across the line．He wanted him to finish with （25）D．The Canadian skiers were already out of the race，giving Wadsworth two （26）C：Leave Gafarov to hobble across the line on one ski，（27）A give him the spare one．Wadsworth gave him the extra ski，（28）B Gafarov to get second place in the quarter-finals．（29）D，he came in sixth in the semi-finals．（30）Cwas Wadsworth who helped Gafarov complete his Olympic dream．
The other example took place in the 2014World Cup quarter-final match between Brazil and Colombia．The game had just ended．Brazil had won，2-1．Brazil was （31）C on the sidelines，cheering and having a good time．Colombian midfielder James Rodriguez had just had his World Cup dream tore apart despite（盡管） （32）A a record-breaking six goals in the competition．Brazil defender David Luiz walked over to him，pointed at him，and （33）A the crowd to acknowledge him．He then declared his （34）D for a game well played and （35）B him for his wonderful World Cup performance．It made both the crowd and Rodriquez （36）B．
As an athlete，I know it's easy to get caught up in the （37）D of a game．But I also know that （38）A is just as important as losing and winning．
Always remember to （39）C your opposing team．Play hard，but play fair．And always be nice．It's the right thing to do and it always （40）B．

7．A new study has found that social media could be affecting the sleep of young adults．The study is a project of researchers at the University of Pittsburgh's School of Medicine．They found that young people who often use social media are more likely to suffer from sleep disorders than those who use social media less．
The researchers say doctors should ask young adults about their use of social media when treating sleep issues．"This is one of the first pieces of evidence that social media use really can affect your sleep，"said Jessica C．Levenson．She is a postdoctoral researcher in the university's Department of Psychiatry．She was the lead author of a report on the study．The researchers set out to examine the connection between social media use and sleep among young adults．
The researchers wanted to find out how often young people used social media sites like Facebook，Twitter and etc..For the study，they gave questionnaires to nearly 1，800adults，aged 19to 32．On average，members of the study group used social media sites one hour a day．They also visited various social media accounts 30times per week．Thirty percent of the study's participants reported having serious problems with sleeping．Those people who used social media a lot were three times more likely to have a sleep disorder．And those who spent the most time on social media were two times as likely to suffer from sleep disturbances．
Frequent checking is big part of the problem．Levenson said the number of times a person visits social media is a better predictor of sleep problems than overall time spent on social media．If this is true，she adds，then practices that stop such behaviors may be most effective．
Researchers say social media can influence sleep patterns in a number of ways．People can lose sleep by staying up too late looking at social media．Sensitive issues argued about on social media can cause"emotional，cognitive or physiological"excitement．Using an electronic device can disturb a body's natural sleep rhythms because of the light coming from cell phones or computer screens．The researchers note that in some cases，young adults who have a hard time sleeping may use social media to help them fall asleep．
"It also may be that both of these hypotheses （假定） are true，"says Brian A．Primack．He is director of the Center for Research on Media，Technology and Health．He is also the study's senior author．Primack says，"Difficult sleeping may lead to increased use of social media，which may in turn lead to more problems sleeping．This cycle may be particularly problematic with social media．Many forms of social media involve interactive screen time that is stimulating （刺激） and rewarding and，for those reasons，can keep you awake．"

68．From the results of the questionnaire，who are more likely to have a sleep problem？B
A．The participants aged from 19to 32．
B．The participants visiting social media frequently．
C．The participants using social media sites one hour a day．
D．The participants spending the most time on social media．
69．The main purpose of the passage is toC．
A．compare and evaluate
B．examine and reason
C．inform and explain
D．a(chǎn)rgue and conclude
70．What is the best title for the passage？A
A．Social Media Is Keeping Young Adults Awake
B．Difficult Sleeping Is Affecting Sleeping Patterns
C．Electric Devices Are Influencing Sleep Rhythms
D．Young Adults Are Suffering from Sleep Disorders．

6．Nowadays，it is far （61）easier（easy） to entertain children than it is to instruct them in personal development skills．In the current fast-paced society，parents choose to    （62）be occupied （occupy）with work in order to earn more and provide their children （63）with a good living environment．They （64）don't spare  （spare）enough time to play or communicate with their children．So parents can easily offer their children new toys   （65）ratherthan develop their children's sense of  duty，（66）which    will lead their children through self-learning to understand the  （67）meanings （mean） of hard work and patience．（68）Therefore/Thus，the best method for parents to teach patience to their children is not by buying them things，but by giving their children an opportunity to explore and learn about （69）whatinterests them．（70）Only   by using this method can parents eventually teach their children the same hard lessons that they have painfully learned too．
