BMy name is Matthew. Im not someone who has many secrets because I m a terrible liar. But there is one huge secret that I kept for yearsI failed my driving test. I had never failed a test before, and had never even come close. Driving made me anxious, but my parents told me I had to. They signed me up for driving lessons. I had gotten a perfect score for my written permit exam, but getting behind the wheel was a different story. But when October 30th rolled around, my pride set in. I wanted to be like everyone else at my school, showing off the brand new license theyd gotten. Looking back on that special day, I cant remember if I was nervous. What I do remember is starting the test, pausing at a stop sign after a few seconds, and being asked by the instructor to pull over. I had received an auto-fail since my pause was indeed a pause and not a real stop. I wasnt upset that I was leaving without a license, but I was scared everyone would know that I had failed. So when I got to class，I told everyone I didnt want to take the test on my birthday. One Friday a month later, I went to the test spot again and passed. Later that night I drove for the first time by myself, which brought to me an amazing feeling Ive never experiencedbut still, I couldnt imagine ever telling anyone the truth. So I didnt . It wasnt until midway through college that I came clean. It turned out plenty of my college friends had failed too! And I gathered enough courage to speak the fact out. Yes, I had also failed.Now I realize failure and imperfection are two things everyone has to experience, without which one couldnt make a true man. 24. What can we learn about Matthew?A.

Losing face before his classmates. 27. What did Matthew learn from his ow n experience?A. Failure is a way to grow up. B. Honesty is the best policy. C. Truth stands the test of time. D. Imperfection is another form of perfection. CAlthough onions taste delicious , watering eyes come with the process when you cut them up. Thankfully, Good Housekeeping has suggested some tips to prevent yourself from crying while trying to cut up an onion. According to the findings from the Institute, putting onions in a fridge 30 minutes before cutting can prevent the annoying hurt, as the cold stops tear-jerking(催泪的) gas from being produced. Another way to reduce the gas released by the onion is to put it in water for a while. Good Housekeeping recommends:“Cut the end off the onion and then put it straight into a bowl of water. The water will draw out the acid making you tear up less when you cut it. ”When an onion grows, it mixes with sulfur (硫) in the soil to create a special mineral acid. When the onion is cut into pieces, it reacts and creates a gas. As it reaches your face, this annoying gas causes the eyes to produce tears. The root is where the gasses are most concentrated, so it is recommended that this part of the onion be left on as you cut it to avoid uncomfortable eyes. Do this by cutting the vegetable in half down the middle, then cut off part of one side to create a flat surface. Then , place the onion with its flat surface down and cut it towards the root. Also, to reduce the gass effect on your eyes , cut it next to a window or near a fan so the gas is blown away from your face. And take care to use a sharp knife; this will make it easier to move through the vegetable, causing fewer cells to be broken and less gas to be released as a result. 28. Refrigerating the onion before cutting can .A. change its taste B. make it easier to cut upC. avoid generation of the gas D. help the gases mix more quickly29. From the fourth paragraph, what happens when the onion is cut up?A. Some acid mineral is lost. B. The tear mixture is created. C. The sulfur inside it pours out. D. A chemical reaction produces a gas. 30. What does the underlined word”this”in paragraph 5 refer to?A. Producing more tears. B. Leaving the root uncut first. C. Promoting concentration. D. Making the onion more tasty. 31. The main purpose of the text is to .A. advise and explain B. examine and analyze C. argue and discuss D. present and compareDDo you have a younger brother? Does he always get in trouble? w ll, there might be some science behind that. According to a report from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, second-born boys are more likely than first-borns to behave badly, which could be why you from time to time consider your younger brothers or sisters sprites. Researchers, who explored data from tens of thousands of sibling(兄弟姐妹) pairs from Denmark and Florida, found second-born boys are 20 to 40% more likely to have behavioral problems. If youre the second-born child you may want to have a little chat with your parents. The reason why second-born siblings may be worse behaved than first-borns is that parents tend to pay less attention to them. “Second-born children tend to have less attention from the mother than their older siblings because first-born children experience their mothers maternity leaves(产假). Firstborns enjoy the rewards of not only their own time with mum following their birth, but the time mum takes off with younger siblings, too,” the authors explain. Its not just about the parents, however. Speaking to NRP, co-author Joseph Doyle said, “The first-born has role models, who are adults. And the second, later-born children have role models who are slightly unreasonable 2-year-olds, you know, their older siblings. The difference of parental investments and the sibling influences probably contribute to these differences we see in the labor market and what we find in behaviors against regulations, even against laws. Its just very difficult to separate those two things because they happen at the same time. The results , the authors argue, have an important effect on social policy. 32. What does the underlined word “sprites” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Losers. B. Troublemakers. C. Close companions. D. Parents pets. 33. According to the report, what influences the second-born children s behavior?A. Challenges of their elder siblings. B. Fewer chances of talking with others. C. More family problems they are faced with. D. The amount of attention they receive from parents. 34. Joseph Doyle holds the opinion that the older siblings .A. have the same role models as their younger onesB. are not to blame for their younger siblings failureC. are partly responsible for their younger siblings problemsD. affect the parental investment and the labor market participation35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Why the second-born tend to be misbehaved B. How parents improve family relationshipsC. Social policy guides family education D. Parents prefer first-born kids第二节(共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分)根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Art is for everyone and it exists everywhere. When it comes to appreciating an art painting, there is no right or wrong way. 36 l Know the artist. To know the artist is the first step towards appreciating any art painting. 37 Once you get familiar with the paintings from a particular artist, you will start relating to their unique style. l This is really tough. There are different styles and types of art mediums, realism, surrealism, and impressionism, to name but a few. So for beginners, its advisable to keep things simple. Try to understand if the art you see is a watercolour, oil painting or acrylic(丙烯酸颜料) or sketch (速写) on paper. You also need to figure out the styles of the workfigurative (形象的) or abstract. l Try and find a meaning. To read between lines and colors and understand what the artist mean can be very difficult. 39 So heres a simple guide. Figurative paintings are easy because they are an honest description of emotions on the canvas(油画布). Still , it doesnt t mean your understanding is the same as the artists. Abstracts attempt to create magic with shapes, lines and colors and their meaning is different for everyone who sees it. l Search for Emotions. Not every work of art v ill catch your eyes or emotions at first sight. 40 Explore the art work with your eyes. Once you are aware of these things, you will be able to break the ice with art. A. Discover your taste and styles. B. Know the type of art and medium used. C. Some of these art works will take time to reach you. D. You just might find that art changes the way you see the world. E. Learning something about the artist adds to the appreciation of art. F. A simple art painting might be understood otherwise for different people. G. The following ideas may help you join in the conversation between you and the artist. 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, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。About six years ago I was going through a tough time, trying to work two jobs to afford my rent.
