第二节：完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）

Teaching my first child, Helen, to share her toys was the biggest challenge. To 26 this, we started inviting other children to play, which could help Helen discover that it’s fun to share with others, and it 27 out to be a lesson I needed to 28 myself as well.

One evening Helen had 29 a friend, Natalie, to play with her. Their favorite was a children’s card game called Go Fish. That evening, after Natalie left, Helen came to me and said, “Mommy, I’d like to give these to Natalie tomorrow. They’re her favorites.”

She held up three cards from the Go Fish game. I tried to 30 that I didn’t want her to give them away because then our 31 wouldn’t be complete. “But I really want her to have them!” Helen 32 .

What could I say to that? I sat 37 for a moment and then I realized I had been trying for so long to ask her to share. Did it 38 that our Go Fish set would be 39 ?

III. 第三部分：阅读理解：(共两节，满分30分)

第一节（共12小题，满分24分）

阅读下列四篇短文，从每题所给的(A、B、C、D)四个选项中选出最佳选项。

A

When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, "Well, it’s so-and-so’s fault, or “I know I’m late, but it’s not my fault; the car broke down.” It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.

Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.

This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don't have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.

41. The underlined word “remedy” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .

A. avoid B. accept C. improve D. consider

42. When your colleague brings about a problem, you should __________.

A. find a better way to handle the problem

B. blame him for his lack of responsibility

C. tell him to find the cause of the problem

D. ask a more able colleague forhelp

43. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A. A Winner’s Achievement. B. A Winner’s Problem.

C. A Winner’s Opportunity. D. A Winner’s Secret.

B

Diet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet… We are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically (心理) and physically.

Diet products greatly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the amount of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale(秤) instead. All we have to do is to recognize the word “diet” in food labels.

On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves witho
