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.
41. 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.
42. 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.
43. 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.
44. 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.
45. 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】41. A 42. A 43. D 44. C 45. B

细节理解题。根据第一段“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. (但有一个我保守多年的大秘密——我的驾驶考试不及格。我以前从未考试不及格，甚至从未接近过。开车让我很焦虑，但我父母告诉我必须这样做。他们给我报了驾驶课。我在笔试中取得了满分，但开车就另当别论了。)”可知，马修在学习开车方面学的很慢。故选A。

I wasn’t upset that I was leaving without a license (我所记得的是开始测试，几秒钟后在停车标志处停下来，然后被教练要求靠边停车。我收到了一个自动失败，因为我的停顿确实是一次停顿，而不是真正的停车。我没有因为无证离开而感到沮丧)”可知，作者被教练要求靠边停车应该是要求他结束考试。故选A。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“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. (我并没有因为无证离开而感到沮丧，但我害怕每个人都知道我失败了。所以当我上课的时候，我告诉大家我不想在生日那天参加考试。)”可知，害怕在同学们面前丢脸是让马修在第一次驾照考试尝试后感到极度担忧的事情。故选D。

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. (一个月后的一个星期五，我再次去了考点，并通过了考试。那天晚上晚些时候，我第一次独自开车，这给我带来了一种从未经历过的奇妙感觉——但我仍然无法想象会告诉任何人真相。所以我没有。直到大学中途我才坦白。)”可知，马修直到上了大学才坦白他曾经没有通过驾照考试。故选C。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Now I realize failure and imperfection are two things everyone has to experience, without which one couldn’t make a true man. (现在我意识到失败和不完美是每个人都必须经历的两件事，没有这两件事就无法成为一个真正的男人。)”可知，马修认识到失败是通往成长的必经之路。故选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.
46. How does the first paragraph develop
A. By raising questions. B. By listing reasons.
C. By expressing opinions. D. By giving examples.
47. 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.
48. 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.
49. 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.
50 Where can you find this article
A. In a city guidebook. B. In a storybook.
C. In a science magazine. D. In a dictionary.
【答案】46. D 47. A 48. C 49. B 50. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍一些关于家庭火灾的知识。
【46题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“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. (仅在美国，每年就有2500多人在房屋火灾中死亡，12600人受伤，房屋火灾造成的直接财产损失约为73亿美元。美国人每天都会经历火灾的恐怖，但大多数人不了解火灾。)”可知，第一段通过举例子的方式来说明美国每年的房屋火灾情况。故选D。
【47题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“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秒的时间里，一个小火焰可以完全失控，变成大火。浓浓的黑烟只需要几分钟就可以充满一所房子，或者让它着火。)”可知，在很短的时间里就会造成很大的危险，所以遇到房屋火灾要尽可能快的逃离。故选A。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“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. (火一开始是明亮的，但很快就会产生黑烟和完全的黑暗。如果你在火灾中醒来，你可能会失明，不知道自己在哪里，也不知道应该朝哪个方向走，在你住了多年的家里找不到路。)”可知，黑烟会导致我们迷路。故选C。
【49题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“To protect yourself, it is important to learn something about home fires. (为了保护自己，了解一些关于家庭火灾的知识是很重要的。)”并结合下文对火灾的一些介绍可知，这篇文章主要介绍一些关于家庭火灾的知识。故选B。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“To protect yourself, it is important to learn something about home fires. (为了保护自己，了解一些关于家庭火灾的知识是很重要的。)”可知，这篇文章主要介绍一些关于家庭火灾的知识，所以它很有可能摘自于科学杂志。故选C。
第II卷（非选择题共35分）
第四部分: 写作（共两节, 满分35分）
第一节: 阅读表达（共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10分）
US student Vanessa Tahay stands out from the other teenagers in her school. Her skin is dark, her accent is thick, and you ask her, she will tell you these are the things she is proudest of.
Tahay is a poet, and at 18 she’s considered among the best in Los Angele. When she’s onstage, audience often go silent. They also laugh, shout, and cry. But that doesn’t come easily for someone who comes from a village that sits at the base of a huge mountain range in Central America.
When she first appeared at school, she was teased by others for being short and for being different. She never spoke, so they called her “mouse”. “How do I defend myself ” Tahay thought. “I don’t know how.” “Keep going,” her mother would tell her. “At some point, you’ll learn.”
She spent hours after school and on weekends watching the same DVDS: English without barriers. Tahay’s older brother, Elmer, persuaded her to go to the after-school poetry club.
The first time Tahay read the poems in the club, she was astonished. “I wish I could write like that,” she thought “I wanna say something.”
She wrote her first poem about her first year in America. She called it Invisible. The day her turn came to recite in front of the team, she broke down crying. She cried for 15 minutes. “I had so much held in,” Tahay said. “I couldn’t even finish it.”
But she kept at it despite her less-than-perfect grammar, spelling and pronunciation. Still, she wouldn’t tell her friends about her poetry because she worried they’d make fun of her.
But with time, her poems changed her. “They gave me pride,” Tahay said. “They told me I’m worth something.”
“She had this innocence” her English teacher Kurnick said, “This willingness to be genuine and to show you things you don’t ever see.”
51. What does Tahay take pride in most (No more than 6 words)
52. What did Tahay’s mother do when Tahay was in trouble (No more than 10 words)
53. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 6 probably mean (No more than 10 words)
54. What’s Tahay’s poem Invisible mainly about (No more than 5 words)
55. How does Tahay’s story inspire you Put it in your own words. (No more than 20 words)
【答案】51. Her dark skin and thick accent.
52. She encouraged Tahay to keep going./She encouraged Tahay not to give up.
53. I had too much to express myself./I could hardly say a word.
54. Her first year in America.
55. She encourages me to keep going and not to give up whenever I am in trouble.
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述的是关于Tahay的故事。这个故事告诉我们，无论什么时候遇到困难都不要轻言放弃，要坚持，一定会渡过难关，获得成功。
【51题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段第二句“Her skin is dark, her accent is thick, and you ask her, she will tell you these are the things she is proudest of.(她的皮肤很黑，口音很重，你问她，她会告诉你这些是她最引以为豪的事情)”可知，Tahay的皮肤很黑，口音很重，这是她最引以为豪的东西。故答案为Her dark skin and thick accent.
【52题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段中““Keep going,” her mother would tell her. “At some point, you’ll learn.”(“继续，”她母亲会告诉她，“总有一天，你会学会的。”)”可知，当Tahay有困难时，她母亲总是鼓励她继续前行，不要放弃。故答案为She encouraged Tahay to keep going./ She encouraged Tahay not to give up.
【53题详解】
考查词句猜测。根据第六段画线句子上文“The day her turn came to recite in front of the team, she broke down crying. She cried for 15 minutes. (轮到她在全队面前朗诵的那一天，她突然哭了起来。她哭了15分钟)”和最后一句““I couldn’t even finish it.”(“我甚至不能完成它。”)”可知，Tahay在朗诵诗歌时，大哭起来，无法表达出来，进而没法完成朗诵诗歌，由此可知，画线句子“I had so much held in,”意思是“我”无法表达出来，或“我”说不出话来。故答案为I had too much to express myself./I could hardly say a word.
【54题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第六段中“She wrote her first poem about her first year in America. She called it Invisible.(她写的第一首诗是关于她在美国的第一年，她称之为《看不见》)”可知，Invisible这首诗是关于她在美国的第一年的。故答案为Her first year in America.
【55题详解】
开放试题。通读全文可知，本文讲述的是关于Tahay的故事。这个故事告诉我们，无论什么时候遇到困难都不要轻言放弃，要坚持，一定会渡过难关，获得成功。故答案为She encourages me to keep going and not to give up whenever I am in trouble.

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.
41. 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.
42 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.
43. 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.
44. 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.
45. 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.

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.

US student Vanessa Tahay stands out from the other teenagers in her school. Her skin is dark, her accent is thick, and you ask her, she will tell you these are the things she is proudest of.
Tahay is a poet, and at 18 she’s considered among the best in Los Angele. When she’s onstage, audience often go silent. They also laugh, shout, and cry. But that doesn’t come easily for someone who comes from a village that sits at the base of a huge mountain range in Central America.
When she first appeared at school, she was teased by others for being short and for being different. She never spoke, so they called her “mouse”. “How do I defend myself ” Tahay thought. “I don’t know how.” “Keep going,” her mother would tell her. “At some point, you’ll learn.”
She spent hours after school and on weekends watching the same DVDS: English without barriers. Tahay’s older brother, Elmer, persuaded her to go to the after-school poetry club.
The first time Tahay read the poems in the club, she was astonished. “I wish I could write like that,” she thought “I wanna say something.”
She wrote her first poem about her first year in America. She called it Invisible. The day her turn came to recite in front of the team, she broke down crying. She cried for 15 minutes. “I had so much held in,” Tahay said. “I couldn’t even finish it.”
But she kept at it despite her less-than-perfect grammar, spelling and pronunciation. Still, she wouldn’t tell her friends about her poetry because she worried they’d make fun of her.
But with time, her poems changed her. “They gave me pride,” Tahay said. “They told me I’m worth something.”
“She had this innocence,” her English teacher Kurnick said, “This willingness to be genuine and to show you things you don’t ever see.”
