Now let’s move on to the next topic. As we all know, community service is an important part of education at our university. We encourage all students to volunteer for at least one community activity before graduation. A new community program called “One on One” helps schoolchildren who have fallen behind. You might be interested in it, because it offers the opportunity to do some teaching. You’ll have to volunteer two hours a week for one semester. You can choose to help a child with math, English or both. Half-hour lessons are fine, so you can do a half hour of each subject two days a week.
Professor Dodge will help you with lesson plans. He has office hours every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. You can sign up for the program with him and begin teaching next week.
I’m sure you’ll enjoy this community service and gain valuable experience at the same time. If you’d like to sign up or if you have any questions, please go to Professor Dodge’s office this week.

My name is Matthew. I’m not someone who has many secrets, because I’m a terrible liar. But there is one huge secret that I kept for years—I 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 they’d gotten. Looking back on that special day, I can’t 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 wasn’t 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 didn’t 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 I’ve never experienced—but still, I couldn’t imagine ever telling anyone the truth. So I didn’t. It wasn’t 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 couldn’t make a true man.
56. What can we learn about Matthew
A. He was a slow learner of driving. B. He relied heavily on his parents.
C. He was afraid of taking exams. D. He was bored with telling lies.
57. Why did the instructor ask Matthew to pull over
A. To put an end to his test. B. To check his parking skills.
C. To give him a second chance. D. To show him a better way of driving.
58. What made Matthew feel extremely worried after his first attempt
A. Failing to get a driving license. B. Missing his birthday celebration.
C. Making his parents disappointed. D. Losing face before his classmates.
59. Which of the following statements is TRUE
A. Matthew has many secrets.
B. Matthew didn’t want to take the test on his birthday.
C. Matthew kept the secret until he went to college.
D. Matthew’ friends all passed the driving test for the first time.
60. What did Matthew learn from his own experience
A. Honesty is the best policy. B. Failure is a way to grow up.
C. Truth stands the test of time. D. Imperfection is another form of perfection.
【答案】56. A 57. A 58. D 59. C 60. B

【導(dǎo)語】本文是夾敘夾議文。文章主要講述作者馬修駕駛考試不及格而保守了很久的秘密。
【56題詳解】
細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“But there is one huge secret that I kept for years—I 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. (但有一個我保守多年的大秘密——我的駕駛考試不及格。我以前從未考試不及格，甚至從未接近過。開車讓我很焦慮，但我父母告訴我必須這樣做。他們給我報了駕駛課。我在筆試中取得了滿分，但開車就另當別論了。)”可知，馬修在學(xué)習(xí)開車方面學(xué)的很慢。故選A。
【57題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段“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 wasn’t upset that I was leaving without a license (我所記得的是開始測試，幾秒鐘后在停車標志處停下來，然后被教練要求靠邊停車。我收到了一個自動失敗，因為我的停頓確實是一次停頓，而不是真正的停車。我沒有因為無證離開而感到沮喪)”可知，作者被教練要求靠邊停車應(yīng)該是要求他結(jié)束考試。故選A。
【58題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段“I wasn’t 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 didn’t want to take the test on my birthday. (我并沒有因為無證離開而感到沮喪，但我害怕每個人都知道我失敗了。所以當我上課的時候，我告訴大家我不想在生日那天參加考試。)”可知，害怕在同學(xué)們面前丟臉是讓馬修在第一次駕照考試嘗試后感到極度擔憂的事情。故選D。
【59題詳解】
細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“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 I’ve never experienced—but still, I couldn’t imagine ever telling anyone the truth. So I didn’t. It wasn’t until midway through college that I came clean. (一個月后的一個星期五，我再次去了考點，并通過了考試。那天晚上晚些時候，我第一次獨自開車，這給我?guī)砹艘环N從未經(jīng)歷過的奇妙感覺——但我仍然無法想象會告訴任何人真相。所以我沒有。直到大學(xué)中途我才坦白。)”可知，馬修直到上了大學(xué)才坦白他曾經(jīng)沒有通過駕照考試。故選C。
【60題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“Now I realize failure and imperfection are two things everyone has to experience, without which one couldn’t make a true man. (現(xiàn)在我意識到失敗和不完美是每個人都必須經(jīng)歷的兩件事，沒有這兩件事就無法成為一個真正的男人。)”可知，馬修認識到失敗是通往成長的必經(jīng)之路。故選B。

Each year more than 2,500 people die and 12,600 are injured in home fires just in the United States, with direct property loss because of home fires at about $7.3 billion. Every day Americans experience the horror of fires, but most people don’t understand fires.
To protect yourself, it is important to learn something about home fires.
In less than 30 seconds a small flame(火焰) can get completely out of control and turn into a major fire. It only takes minutes for thick black smoke to fill a house or for it to be in flames. Most deadly fires happen in the home when people are asleep. If you realize a fire, you won’t have time to take valuables because the fire spreads too quickly and the smoke is too thick. The fire uses up the oxygen you need and produces smoke and poisonous gases. Breathing even small amounts of smoke and poisonous gases can make you tired and sleepy, and short of breath. The smoke can cause you to be a deep sleeper before the flames reach your door. You may not wake up in time to escape.
Room temperatures in a fire can be 100 degrees at floor level and rise to 600 degrees at eye level. Breathing in this super-hot air will burn your lungs. It can melt (熔化) clothes to your skin. In five minutes, a room can get so hot that everything in it starts to burn at once.
Fires are bright at first, but quickly produce black smoke and complete darkness. If you wake up to a fire you may be blinded, confused about where you are or which direction you should go in and unable to find your way around the home you’ve lived in for years. Only when we know the true nature of fires can we prepare our families and ourselves.
61. How does the first paragraph develop
A. By raising questions. B. By listing reasons.
C. By expressing opinions. D. By giving examples.
62. What can we infer from the third paragraph
A. It is necessary to escape in time. B. It is important to find poisonous gases.
C. It is impossible to keep away from smoke. D. It is dangerous to stay away from the door.
63. How does black smoke trouble us
A. Causing us to feel hopeless. B. Making our faces turn black.
C. Getting us to lose our ways. D. Forcing us to walk around the home.
64. What does the text mainly tell us
A. Different processes of home fires. B. Some basic knowledge of home fires.
C. Great damage of home fires in the USA. D. Some good ways to prevent home fires.
65 Where can you find this article
A. In a city guidebook. B. In a storybook.
C. In a science magazine. D. In a dictionary.

【導(dǎo)語】本文是說明文。文章主要介紹一些關(guān)于家庭火災(zāi)的知識。
【61題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“Each year more than 2,500 people die and 12,600 are injured in home fires just in the United States, with direct property loss because of home fires at about $7.3 billion. Every day Americans experience the horror of fires, but most people don’t understand fires. (僅在美國，每年就有2500多人在房屋火災(zāi)中死亡，12600人受傷，房屋火災(zāi)造成的直接財產(chǎn)損失約為73億美元。美國人每天都會經(jīng)歷火災(zāi)的恐怖，但大多數(shù)人不了解火災(zāi)。)”可知，第一段通過舉例子的方式來說明美國每年的房屋火災(zāi)情況。故選D。
【62題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段“In less than 30 seconds a small flame(火焰) can get completely out of control and turn into a major fire. It only takes minutes for thick black smoke to fill a house or for it to be in flames. (在不到30秒的時間里，一個小火焰可以完全失控，變成大火。濃濃的黑煙只需要幾分鐘就可以充滿一所房子，或者讓它著火。)”可知，在很短的時間里就會造成很大的危險，所以遇到房屋火災(zāi)要盡可能快的逃離。故選A。

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段“Fires are bright at first, but quickly produce black smoke and complete darkness. If you wake up to a fire you may be blinded, confused about where you are or which direction you should go in and unable to find your way around the home you’ve lived in for years. (火一開始是明亮的，但很快就會產(chǎn)生黑煙和完全的黑暗。如果你在火災(zāi)中醒來，你可能會失明，不知道自己在哪里，也不知道應(yīng)該朝哪個方向走，在你住了多年的家里找不到路。)”可知，黑煙會導(dǎo)致我們迷路。故選C。
【64題詳解】
主旨大意題。根據(jù)第二段“To protect yourself, it is important to learn something about home fires. (為了保護自己，了解一些關(guān)于家庭火災(zāi)的知識是很重要的。)”并結(jié)合下文對火災(zāi)的一些介紹可知，這篇文章主要介紹一些關(guān)于家庭火災(zāi)的知識。故選B。

第II卷(非選擇題，共二節(jié)，共35分)
第四部分：寫作(共兩節(jié);滿分35分)
第一節(jié)：閱讀表達(共5小題，每小題2分，滿分10分)
I’ve always been creative since I was a little girl. My childhood was filled with arts, crafts (手工) and music, and every day was an exciting adventure of creation.
Somewhere along the way, however, I lost touch with my creative self. At 21, I landed a job at a big insurance company out of my business degree. I would go to the office, sit at my desk and repeat the same work five days a week 9 to 5. The days were long and tedious. Working this way for one year was painful enough, let alone a lifetime. Before long I decided to make a change.
One thing I had developed an interest in was sewing, so I took a sewing course at a community college. It was only a five-week course but it awakened my interest and got my confidence up.
As I dreamt bigger, I began looking into college courses for Fashion Design and three months later I signed up for a part-time design course. I attended classes two nights a week. Although exhausting, it gave me energy, enthusiasm and happiness.
As it became clearer that fashion was what I wanted to do full time, the reality of my day-to-day work at the insurance company became harder. I felt bored. No energy, no motivation and zero fulfilment (滿足感).
I knew I needed to make a bigger change. After struggling for quite a while, I made a difficult decision—leaving my job and studying my design course full time. Two years later I got my diploma.
The last few years have been exciting because I’ve been following my heart to do what I love. Today I am living a creative life as the designer of my own fashion brand.
Sometimes it’s hard to make a change, but I’m so glad I set the wheels of change in motion with that very small first step because it has led me to where I am today.
66．What was the author interested in when she was a little girl (no more than 10 words)
67．What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 mean (1 word)
68．How did the author feel when she was taking the part-time design course (no more than 10 words)
69．What did the author do to get back to her creative life Give two of the facts. (no more than 15 words)
70．Do you consider the author as your role model Please explain. (no more than 20 words)
【答案】66．She was interested in arts, crafts and music.
Or: She was interested in creative things.
67．Boring./Dull./Uninteresting.
68．She felt/was energetic, enthusiastic and happy.
Or: She was filled with energy, enthusiasm and happiness.
69．She quit/quitted her job and took the fashion-design course.
Or: She attended a sewing class and took a part-time design course.
70．Yes, (I do). She has the courage to follow her heart and do what she really likes.
Or: Yes, (I do). I’d like to live a creative life and make changes when necessary as she. Or: No, (I don’t). I don’t like changes and I want to live a secure life.
【分析】本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了作者堅持做自己真正喜歡做的事情，最后取得了成功。
66．考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文章第一段內(nèi)容“I’ve always been creative since I was a little girl. My childhood was filled with arts, crafts (手工) and music, and every day was an exciting adventure of creation.（從我還是一個小女孩的時候起，我就很有創(chuàng)造力。我的童年充滿了藝術(shù)、手工藝和音樂，每一天都是令人興奮的創(chuàng)作冒險。）”可知，從作者還是一個小女孩的時候起，她就對有創(chuàng)意的東西感興趣，對藝術(shù)、手工藝和音樂感興趣。故答案為She was interested in arts, crafts and music./ She was interested in creative things.
67．考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)畫線單詞所在句后句“Working this way for one year was painful enough, let alone a lifetime. Before long I decided to make a change.（這樣工作一年已經(jīng)夠痛苦的了，更別說一輩子了。不久我決定做出改變。）”可知，作者現(xiàn)在的工作讓她感到痛苦，她并不喜歡這份工作。再根據(jù)第五段內(nèi)容“As it became clearer that fashion was what I wanted to do full time, the reality of my day-to-day work at the insurance company became harder. I felt bored. No energy, no motivation and zero fulfilment (滿足感). （當我越來越清楚地意識到時尚是我全職想要做的事情時，我在保險公司的日常工作變得更加困難。我覺得無聊。沒有活力，沒有動力，沒有滿足感。）”可知，作者真正喜歡的是和時尚相關(guān)的工作，保險公司的工作讓她感覺無聊。由此可知，畫線單詞所在句表示的是，在保險公司工作的日子漫長而乏味。故答案為Boring./Dull./Uninteresting.
68．考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文章第四段內(nèi)容“As I dreamt bigger, I began looking into college courses for Fashion Design and three months later I signed up for a part-time design course. I attended classes two nights a week. Although exhausting, it gave me energy, enthusiasm and happiness.（當我的夢想更大的時候，我開始研究時裝設(shè)計的大學(xué)課程，三個月后我報名參加了一個兼職設(shè)計課程。我每周上兩晚課。雖然很累，但它給了我活力、熱情和快樂。）”可知，在參加了兼職設(shè)計課程后，作者感覺充滿了活力、熱情和快樂。故答案為She felt/was energetic, enthusiastic and happy./ She was filled with energy, enthusiasm and happiness.
69．考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文章第三段關(guān)鍵句“One thing I had developed an interest in was sewing, so I took a sewing course at a community college.（我對縫紉產(chǎn)生了興趣，所以我在一所社區(qū)大學(xué)上了縫紉課。）”，第四段關(guān)鍵句“As I dreamt bigger, I began looking into college courses for Fashion Design and three months later I signed up for a part-time design course.（當我的夢想更大的時候，我開始研究時裝設(shè)計的大學(xué)課程，三個月后我報名參加了一個兼職設(shè)計課程。）”和倒數(shù)第三段內(nèi)容“I knew I needed to make a bigger change. After struggling for quite a while, I made a difficult decision—leaving my job and studying my design course full time. Two years later I got my diploma.（我知道我需要做出更大的改變。經(jīng)過一段時間的掙扎，我做出了一個艱難的決定，離開我的工作，并全職學(xué)習(xí)我的設(shè)計課程。兩年后我拿到了畢業(yè)證書。）”可知，作者為了恢復(fù)她有創(chuàng)造力的生活，她參加了一個縫紉班，并參加了一個兼職設(shè)計課程，辭去了工作，去上時裝設(shè)計課，根據(jù)題目要求，從中選出兩點事實即可，不超過15個詞。故答案為She quit/quitted her job and took the fashion-design course./ She attended a sewing class and took a part-time design course.
70．開放題。題目詢問“你認為作者是你的榜樣嗎？請解釋一下原因。”本題為開放性試題，根據(jù)自己的理解，言之有理，符合文章內(nèi)容即可，不超過20個詞，如果答案是肯定的，原因可以是“She has the courage to follow her heart and do what she really likes.（她有勇氣追隨自己的心，做自己真正喜歡的事。）”；如果答案是否定的，原因可以是“I don’t like changes and I want to live a secure life.（我不喜歡變化，我想過安全的生活。）”。故答案為Yes, (I do). She has the courage to follow her heart and do what she really likes./ Yes, (I do). I’d like to live a creative life and make changes when necessary as she./ No, (I don’t). I don’t like changes and I want to live a secure life.

My name is Matthew. I’m not someone who has many secrets, because I’m a terrible liar. But there is one huge secret that I kept for years—I 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 they’d gotten. Looking back on that special day, I can’t 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 wasn’t 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 didn’t 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 I’ve never experienced—but still, I couldn’t imagine ever telling anyone the truth. So I didn’t. It wasn’t 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 couldn’t make a true man.

Each year more than 2,500 people die and 12,600 are injured in home fires just in the United States, with direct property loss because of home fires at about $7.3 billion. Every day Americans experience the horror of fires, but most people don’t understand fires.
To protect yourself, it is important to learn something about home fires.
In less than 30 seconds a small flame(火焰) can get completely out of control and turn into a major fire. It only takes minutes for thick black smoke to fill a house or for it to be in flames. Most deadly fires happen in the home when people are asleep. If you realize a fire, you won’t have time to take valuables because the fire spreads too quickly and the smoke is too thick. The fire uses up the oxygen you need and produces smoke and poisonous gases. Breathing even small amounts of smoke and poisonous gases can make you tired and sleepy, and short of breath. The smoke can cause you to be a deep sleeper before the flames reach your door. You may not wake up in time to escape.
Room temperatures in a fire can be 100 degrees at floor level and rise to 600 degrees at eye level. Breathing in this super-hot air will burn your lungs. It can melt (熔化) clothes to your skin. In five minutes, a room can get so hot that everything in it starts to burn at once.
Fires are bright at first, but quickly produce black smoke and complete darkness. If you wake up to a fire you may be blinded, confused about where you are or which direction you should go in and unable to find your way around the home you’ve lived in for years. Only when we know the true nature of fires can we prepare our families and ourselves.
61. How does the first paragraph develop
A. By raising questions. B. By listing reasons.
C. By expressing opinions. D. By giving examples.
62. What can we infer from the third paragraph
A. It is necessary to escape in time.
B. It is important to find poisonous gases.
C. It is impossible to keep away from smoke.
D. It is dangerous to stay away from the door.
63. How does black smoke trouble us
A. Causing us to feel hopeless. B. Making our faces turn black.
C. Getting us to lose our ways. D. Forcing us to walk around the home.
64. What does the text mainly tell us
A. Different processes of home fires.
B. Some basic knowledge of home fires.
C. Great damage of home fires in the USA.
D. Some good ways to prevent home fires.
65. Where can you find this article
A. In a city guidebook. B. In a storybook.
C. In a science magazine. D. In a dictionary.

第一節(jié)：閱讀表達(共5小題，每小題2分，滿分10分)
I’ve always been creative since I was a little girl. My childhood was filled with arts, crafts (手工) and music, and every day was an exciting adventure of creation.
Somewhere along the way, however, I lost touch with my creative self. At 21, I landed a job at a big insurance company out of my business degree. I would go to the office, sit at my desk and repeat the same work five days a week 9 to 5. The days were long and tedious. Working this way for one year was painful enough, let alone a lifetime. Before long I decided to make a change.
One thing I had developed an interest in was sewing, so I took a sewing course at a community college. It was only a five-week course but it awakened my interest and got my confidence up.
As I dreamt bigger, I began looking into college courses for Fashion Design and three months later I signed up for a part-time design course. I attended classes two nights a week. Although exhausting, it gave me energy, enthusiasm and happiness.
As it became clearer that fashion was what I wanted to do full time, the reality of my day-to-day work at the insurance company became harder. I felt bored. No energy, no motivation and zero fulfilment (滿足感).
I knew I needed to make a bigger change. After struggling for quite a while, I made a difficult decision—leaving my job and studying my design course full time. Two years later I got my diploma.
The last few years have been exciting because I’ve been following my heart to do what I love. Today I am living a creative life as the designer of my own fashion brand.
Sometimes it’s hard to make a change, but I’m so glad I set the wheels of change in motion with that very small first step because it has led me to where I am today.
