参考范文： Learning is a daily experience and a lifetimemission. This is a proverb full of logic. Inother words, learning is significant in our whole life. Indeed, wecan learn many things from it. If you understand it and apply it toyour study or work, you’ll necessarily benefit a lot from it.
There are many reasons which can explain this phenomenon and thefollowing are the typical ones. The first reason is that learningcan light our road in the coming future. There is no denying thefact that the society is developing increasingly fast and we areoften easily surpassed by the people around. The only way to avoidthis is to learn to improve ourselves. As an illustration, I’d liketo take myself as an example. After graduation from college, mylife has been full of working pressure, which contributes to mydecision of pursuing further education. That’s why I can make myown way in such a competitive society.
The effect of learning can be boiled down to two major ones. First,with the spirit of learning, we are more capable of overcoming thedifficulties in the future. More importantly, we can enrich ourspare time life by learning. No matter who you are, you mustremember that learning is the basic skill in our life.

选词填空：
36. G，favorite 该题难度不大。空格前后均为名词，由此得知空格应填入一个形容词，用以修饰toy，首先考虑备选单词中的常规形容词，有D“crazy”，E“definite”，G“favorite”，依次代入，根据句意“如果你用一块布把小朋友…的玩具盖住”可知，应填入G“favorite”，意为“喜爱的”。
37. M，protest 本题难度较高。空格前是主语“a 4-year old man”，故空格处需要填入动词，候选项有A“advocate”，M“protest”，该题主要难在很多考生不认识M，可用排除法，如填A“支持”明显违背句意，所以选择M，意为“抗议，提出抗议”。
38. B，amount 该题难度较低。空格前是定冠词“the”，而后面是介词短语“of the juice”，由此可断定空格处应填入一名词，由该句探讨主题“得到的果汁多还是少”可知，此空应填入B“amount”，表示果汁的“量”。
39. O，theories 该题难度不大。由空格前的形容词“child-sized”可知，该空应填入名词，候选项有F“differences”，O“theories”，根据空格后的“about how things work”可得知，应填入O“theories”，构成“theoriesabout how things work ”的结构，意为“关于事物如何运转的理论”。
40. I， immediately 该题难度较高。根据该空所在句句型可知句子结构完整，且在动词“test”前出现空格，符合“副词”的需求特征，候选项有I“immediately”，J“naturally”，L“primarily”，较容易排除的是L项，而I和J取舍难度较大，根据该段首句“小孩向来就会验证他们的理论”的表述，可知I“immediately”更符合语境，意为“小孩立刻就会开始验证你说过的话”。
41. D，crazy 该题难度很低。根据前文的含义，结合空格所在句的搭配，可轻易得知此空应填入“crazy”，构成drive sb. crazy的固定用法。
42. F，differences 该题难度不高。根据前文的关键词“differ”可知，此空应填入其名词“differences”。
43. J，naturally 该题难度不高。根据空格所在句句型可知，句子结构完整，动词unfold后有空格，符合“副词”的需求特征，候选项有J“naturally”，L“primarily”，根据句意“小孩的认知能力自然地就体现出来了”可知，该题选J。
44. H，happening 该题难度较大。根据句子结构判断，可知空格前为“what else is”，空格中可填入形容词、-ing和-ed，而空格前的“independent of”意为不依赖于…，本句表达的意思是小孩的认知意识不依赖于他们生活中发生的任何其他事，所以选择H，happening。
45. N，rejected 该题难度不高。根据句子结构“…or modified”可知，该空需要一个和“modified”类似的单词，候选项有C“confirmed”和N“rejected”，根据modified“被改变的”以及句首的“Although”可知，rejected“被否定的”更符合句意，故选N。
段落匹配：
46. I，根据关键信息“figures of speech”定位到I段，原文中该词组前面的形容词是“irrelevant”，和句中的“improper”为同义替换关系。
47. C，根据关键信息“flaws”可定位至C段，同义替换关系句“my mother and her red pen showed me how deeply flawed a flawlessessay could be.”
48. K，该句意思为“为了达到完美，作家应该反复地修改他的文章”，对应K段中的“Perhaps the point of writing theflawless essay was not to give up, but to never willingly finish.”
49. E，该句大意为“某些时间段里，作家可能会感觉什么都写不出来了”，对应E段中的“I was not able to produceanything for 3 years.”。
50. B， 该句意为“当老师认为作者的文章没有瑕疵时，他并不惊讶”，对应B段的“so I was only slightly takenaback that I had achieved perfection at the tender age of 14.”该句中的“taken aback”意为“惊讶”。
51. F，该句意为“对别人的演讲品头论足总比自己做一个更棒的演讲容易”，对应F段的“It is a thing of no greatdifficulty,” according to Plutarch, “to raise objections against another man’sspeech, it is a very easy matter; but to produce a better in its place is awork extremely troublesome.”。
52. A，该句意为“作者视其母为严格和细心的老师”，对应A段的“She cared about me, and my intellectual life, even when I didn’t.Her expectations were high impossibly so. She was an English teacher. She wasalso my mother.”。
53. H，该句意为“作者从其母处得到的批评改变了作者的人格”，对应H段的“That was when true criticism, thetype that changed me as a person, began.”。
54. J，该句意为“作者通过避免使用华而不实的语言慢慢地提升自己的作品”，对应J段的“So I stopped shouting and bluffing,and slowly my writing improved.”。
55. G，该局意为“有建设性的评判能让作家在提升作品方面有一个好的开始”，对应G段“Genuine criticism creates a precious opening for an author to becomebetter on this own terms—a process that is often extremely painful, but alsoalmost always meaningful.
”。
仔细阅读：
56. A
此题难度不大，根据题干中的“Silicon Valley”可定位段，段尾句“is there something unique about it?”直接把答案引向第二段。精读第二段“it wouldn’t be surprising if it were hard to reproduce in othercountries”，可知该句与A选项“Its success is hard to copy anywhere else.”为同义替换关系，故选A，其他三项均为无中生有。
57. B
此题难度不大，根据题干中“Miami”可定位至原文第五段，该段表明迈阿密只有有钱人，而缺少“痴迷于技术的人”，所以无法成为科技中心，该含义对应B选项，为统一替换关系，选项中的“the right kind oftalents”替换了原文的“nerds”。
58. A
此题难度不高，根据题干中的“Carnegie-Mellon”和“Stanford”，“Berkeley”，“MIT”容易定位到原文第六段，第六段段位抛出问题，所以顺势往第七段找答案。第七段中详细描述了卡内基梅隆大学所在的匹兹堡的不同之处：“The weather is terrible”，“rich people don’t want to live in Pittsburgh or Ithaca”，这些信息都指向了A选项，为高度概括关系。
59. D
该题难度较高，根据题干中的“Boston”可定位至原文的第七段。原文提到Boston的句子为“as there is in Boston”，as在这里表对比，意为“波士顿却有”，那么前文一定指出了匹兹堡没有某物，所以关键句在于具体是什么，故往前文查找，发现前文提到的是“and there’s no interesting old city to make up for it”，意思是匹兹堡不仅天气恶劣，而且也没有有趣的老城区，但是波士顿却与之相反，固选择D，表示“波士顿有着很多历史古迹”。
60. C
本题难度不高，根据核心名词概念“startup investors”可定位到原文后一段，原文清晰地表述了，startup investors不仅能够提供资金帮助，还能提供很多建议，所以C选项“他们不仅能提供资金”是的答案，和原文关系为高度概括。
61. C
该题难度不大，根据“like-minded people”定位到首段，首段指出这类人可以给人信息并令人感到舒服，后面用“unfortunately”表转折，后面的表述“这种舒服会让你意识不到你可以扩大你的公司和事业”，对应C选项，同义替换。
62. B
本题不难。根据核心名词“leaders”定位到第三段，作者给leader的建议是“虽然建立一个自由言论的环境不容易，但是俗话说灵感从争论中迸发”，意思是领导者需要建立这样能的环境，固选择B项，高度概括。
63. A
本题难度不大。根据关键信息“purpose of holding adebate”定位到原文倒数第三段，原文“objective”对应“purpose”，后面跟的即为答案：“isnot to win but to get the truth that will allow you to move faster, farther,and better.”，对应A选项。
64. D
该题难度较大。根据关键信息“fierce debate”定位到原文倒数第二段，原文给出观点“用微笑和幽默表明这是一个友好的讨论，大家的目标都是一样的”，对应D选项，该题强干扰项为B，B选项中的“respect”容易让同学们产生好感从而错选B，而实际上B选项错在“other’s beliefs”上，原文并没有提到尊重他人的信念和观点，属于无中生有。
65. D
根据题干“rival”对应到后一段的“sparring partners”，原文给出“让他们知道对他们的付出你很感激”，对应D选项“肯定他们的付出”，为同义替换关系。
