Not just as in, “Great job, Jimbo!” No, I wanted to be best-in-class, awe-inspiring, tiptop; a world-famous genius, like Michael Phelps or Mark Zuckerberg.Unfortunately, my version of reality did not quite line up with this delusional vision. I was a good swimmer, but I peaked at the collegiate State Championships level. My academic record was pretty solid, but I never would have made it into one of those ivy-league schools.Though I rose to above-average status in a couple of areas, the disappointing truth was that I would never amount to anything more than a mid-sized fish in a small pond. God apparently had other plans. What drove me crazy, though, was the superstar talent thrown in my face at every turn. Some folks just seemed to get an unfair intensive dose(剂量)of it. Why couldnt I be like Bernie William, the famed New Yorkees player who also happens to be a world-class jazz guitar virtuoso(艺术大师)?Some say greatness is simply a function of putting in the practice time. Around ten thousand hours, to be precise, according to author Malcolm Gladwell. I dont question the theory of devoting extraordinary efforts to developing ones expertise, but it seems that raw talent is equally important. You either have it or you dont.Ive heard that as people approach middle age, their life satisfaction increases because they begin to accept the gap between the expectations for themselves and the reality. After a few decades of frustration without the desired results, we eventually come to terms with how our lives turned out, even if it falls far short of our idealized youthful expectation.Hope bends, it seems.24. What does the word “delusional” in Para2 most probably mean?A. Imaginary B. Realistic C. Abstract D. Practical25. In the passage, the writer thinks of himself as _.A. a world-famous geniusB. a mid-sized fish in a small pondC. a world-class virtuosoD. a student in an ivy-league school26. According to the writer, what makes “greatness”?A. Extraordinary efforts.B. Ten thousand hours of practice.C. Raw talent.D. Talent and time.27. Which of the following might be the best title ?A. Hope BendsB. Frustrating DecadesC. Practice WorksD.

According to a survey, childrens addiction to online games is closely related to parent-child relations: 36 . To keep children away from smartphones, parents have to reflect on their own behavior and apply themselves to building harmonious parent-kid relationships. First, parents should not be overly upset or annoyed when their kids play video games. Online games are one of the most popular pastimes for students. And its unfair for parents to blame smartphones for all he problems of their children, including poor performance, lack of ambition and inactive lifestyles. 37 . 38 . Research shows children treated as equals in the family are more aware of the negative effects of online games. Those parents who respect their childrens opinions and pay attention to their needs can set family rules with the help of their children. 39 And in such an atmosphere, children may be open about their thoughts and needs, and talk to their parents about what they really feel. Last but not least, parents should spend time with their children. 40 . So parents have to find time for their kids instead of saying they are too busy with work or ignoring their kids feelings.

Besides, some of the problems should be left for time to solve.C. Whats more, it is advisable to adopt a friendly way of parenting.D. Such problems existed even when smartphones and video games were not invented.E. The better the relationship is, the less likely a kid is to be addicted to online games.F. Family members can also smooth out their differences and reach consensuses together.G. Actually, the most valuable gift for their kids is time, not money or expensive presents.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1. 5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Last week, a thing occurred in the classroom of a 4th-grade at Chino Valley Unified School.It was Autism (自闭症) Awareness Month and every 41 had been asked to have each student 42 a paper puzzle piece and hang it on their classroom doors.
