hildren and their team—but at some point it bees too much.My daughter Grace is a high school and AAU (Association of American Universities) basketball player and a very good one at that. During a recent game, a parent sitting near me was shouting loudly to her daughter, standing up, expressing displeasure about the way her team was playing and, during halftime, speaking loudly about her personal life. After having her in my ear for more than half of the game, I was so put off that I had to move.Admittedly, I am the quiet parent at games. I clap for the schoolgirls when they make wonderful plays. For the most part, however, I remain silent. Shouting out makes them nervous.I asked Grace to weigh in on this, and she tells me: “Some parents bee extremely emotionally invested in sports games, which can bee a problem for the players. The worst thing is when people point out that ‘crazy parent,’ and they don’t know that’s your parent.”I am all for parent spectators cheering on their children and the rest of the team. But I hope you can cheer your children on in a positive way. Shouting things like, “Where’s your head?” “Go after her!” is not, in my view, the way to cheer on high school students or younger children.If you have nothing positive to say, hold your tongue. If you find yourself struggling to keep it together, get some fresh air during halftime.12.Unable to stand the mother nearby, the author____.A. told her to shut up B. found another seatC. asked Grace for help D. refused to talk to her13.In Grace’s opinion, crazy parents in the audience will make players feel____.A. helpless B. impatient C. scared D. ashamed14.The author is against parent spectators____.A. keeping silent all the time B. saying unpleasant wordsC. cheering on the players D. leaving during halftime15.Who are the intended readers of the text?A.

But what if you’re not sleepy? Should you still go to bed and just lie there with your eyes wide open? 16 But don’t worry. Here are some steps you can take to help you fall asleep.One thing that can help is talking to a parent about what you’re thinking about at bedtime. For example, if you’re nervous about taking a test, or upset about being teased at school, it can really help to tell somebody. 17 18 If there’s anything about your room that makes you feel uneasy or anxious at night, like a picture that looks strange in the dark, or a leaking bathroom tap, ask your parent to move or fix it. Make sure electronics are kept away from your bed as their lights and noise can make it harder for you to fall asleep. If you’re often nervous around bedtime, doing certain things to calm yourself may help you fall asleep. Taking a warm bath, or listening to a bedtime story at least 30 minutes before bed may help you relax. It also helps to follow a bedtime routine and go to sleep at the same time every night. 19 In order to find the right solution for you, it’s important that you understand what exactly is keeping you up at night. 20 Your body will thank you for the effort. A. Knowing that somebody has heard you can help ease your mind so that you can rest.B. Calming music played at a low volume can help the stress flow out of your body.C. It’s a problem that has been around as long as there have been people trying to sleep.D. Take the time to think about the problem carefully.E. Sleeping in a fortable bed in a quiet and cool room is ideal.F. But what works for others may not necessarily work for you.G. In this way, your body will get the message that it’s almost time to sleep.第三部分 英語(yǔ)知識(shí)運(yùn)用(共兩節(jié),滿(mǎn)分30分)第一節(jié):完形填空(15小題;每小題1分,滿(mǎn)分15分) 閱讀下面短文,從短文后各題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中,選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng),并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。Long ag
