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 hack 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, hut 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.
24. What can we learn about Matthew?
A. He was a slow learner of driving. B. He relied heavily on his parents.
C. lie was afraid of taking exams. D. He was bored with telling lies.
25. 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.
26. 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.
27. 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.

Smoking in your own home in Thailand may now be considered a crime, if the smoke is considered harmful to other people in the house.
The new law, Family Protection and Development Promotion Act, was initiated by the Ministry
of Social Development and Human Security and was announced in the Royal Gazette on May 22,
2019.
The law aims at curbing smoking at home which might be hazardous(危险的)for others' health
residing under the same roof. In that case, it will be considered as "domestic violence". The new law
came into force on August 20.
According to the center for research and knowledge management for tobacco control, at the
Faculty of Medical Science of Mahidol University,there are about 4. 9 million households where
one or more family members smoke.
An average of 10. 3 million people have unwittingly (不知不觉地)become passive smokers
because they've been breathing in smoke at home. Scientific studies show that passive smokers are at
greater risk of being affected by cancer.
Of 75 child patients from houses where smoking is practiced, 76% of them were found to have
nicotine traces in their urine, with 43% of them having nicotine content exceeding permissible
levels.
Smoking at home also "may lead to physical or emotional violence" because of aggressiveness
when there is a lack of smoking, and might as well ruin relationships between smokers and
non-smoker family members.
According to the new law, anyone who thinks they are affected by domestic smoking can report
to officials concerned so that inspectors will be sent to investigate and take legal action against the
smokers.
Once convicted,the court may order a person to receive treatment to quit smoking in an attempt
to protect the person's family.
In February this year, Thailand had banned smoking at six of its airports along with a ban in
public places.
28. What is the fact about the new law in Thailand?
A. It makes it clear that smoking at home is a crime.
B. It's a law on protecting the health of non-smokers.
C. It was drafted and adopted by the royal family.D. It classifies smoking as a form of domestic violence.
29. Which of the following can replace the underlined word "curbing" in Paragraph 3?
A. Treating. B. Changing. C. Improving. D. Controlling.
30. What is not the evil consequence of smoking at home?
A. It may increase the risk of cancer in passive smokers.
B. It will probably cause physical or emotional violence.
C. It will make the smokers become more aggressive.
D. It may lead to disharmony in family relations.
31. What conclusion can we draw from the passage?
A. Smoking is illegal anywhere in Thailand.
B. Smokers are less likely to develop cancer than non-smokers.
C. People who smoke at home in Thailand will be sent to prison.
D. Thailand is committed to creating a smoke-free environment.
D
According to an agreement signed by China and Italy on March 23, 2019, a total of 796 Chinese
cultural relics that had been taken overseas would be returned to China at last. On April 11, these
cultural treasures returned by Italy landed on Beijing Capital International Airport, and were on
display at the National Museum of China in Beijing from April 24 to June 30, 2019.
The time span of these 796 sets of cultural relics was about 5,000 years, ranging from the
Neolithic Age(10,000 B. C.)to Qing Dynasty(1636-1912).
These wide varieties of artifacts were well-preserved and had great value. They are the physical
witnesses to the development of civilization in various periods of Chinese history. And they offer
material evidence for experts to study the social development and people's lifestyle in relevant
periods of Chinese history. For China,the return of these relics is not only of cultural significance
but also a matter related to national pride.
It is well worth mentioning that it is the largest group of Chinese cultural relics ever returned
from overseas since 1998, when the United Kingdom returned about 3,000 smuggled artifacts. Yet
796 is rather small compared with 1.64 million,which is the total number of Chinese cultural relics
displayed by over 200 museums overseas,located in 47 countries and regions. Including the ones
that are not exhibited, the total number of Chinese artifacts overseas might be as high as 17 million.And the majority of the 17 million Chinese cultural relics were taken overseas in a way much
worse than illegal trade. Most of the lost relics were stolen during the invasions China suffered after
the first Opium War (1840-1842). In the past few years,patriotic Chinese business people overseas
have been buying relics that have been auctioned and donated them to national museums of the
motherland. That's a good move, but not the best solution.
The return of 796 cultural relics sets a good example. Both China and Italy are countries with a
long history , boasting rich cultural and historical sites and relics. Hopefully after this, the
cooperation on cultural relic protection between two countries will he further strengthen. It is also
hoped that other countries and regions will learn from Italy and help return Chinese cultural relics.
32. Which of the following is NOT true according to the first three paragraphs?
A. The 796 Chinese cultural relics were transported by plane.
B. These cultural relics were shown at the National Museum of China for over two months.
C. The most ancient artifacts among these cultural relics can he dated from Qing Dynasty.
D. The return of these cultural relics has great value beyond historical and cultural significance.
33. What does the underlined word" smuggled" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Black-market. B. Exquisite. C. Luxurious. D. Precious.
34. What can we conclude from the text?
A. The United Kingdom contributed more to the return of Chinese cultural relics than Italy.
B. What Italy did has weaken its cooperation on cultural relic protection with China.
C. Other countries and regions will follow Italy's example in helping return Chinese cultural relics
soon.
D. It is still a long way for China to find the best solution to get all the lost cultural relics back.
35. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. Italy donated 796 cultural relics to China.
B. 796 Chinese cultural relics lost overseas were returned by Italy.
C. China requested Italy to return 796 Chinese cultural relics voluntarily.
D. China and Italy began the cooperation on cultural relic protection.

选项。Recently some American scientists have given a useful piece of advice to people in
industrialized nations. They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans
living more than 10,000 years ago. 36 The scientists say that the human life has changed
greatly. Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this had led to new
kinds of sicknesses. 37 So they are called "diseases of civilization". Many cancers and
diseases of the blood system are examples of such diseases.
Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very
little alcohol or tobacco, probably none. 38 However, a change in food is one of the main
differences between life in ancient times and that of today.
Stone Age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than domestic
ones. They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits. They did not have milk or any other dairy
products, and they made very little use of grains. 39 We eat six times more salt than our
ancestors. We eat more sugar. We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and
much less vitamin C. 40 But scientists say that we would he much healthier if we eat much the
same way the ancient people did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet food.
A. Stone Age people lived a simple life.
B. In that case, they would live much healthier.
C. But today, we do enjoy eating a lot of these.
D. Ancient people also got lots of physical exercise.
E. These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times.
F. Modern people used to suffer from "diseases of civilization".
G. People today probably don't want to live like our ancestors.

tower through the narrow windows here and there, so that you can feel the 56 -the cool stairs
suddenly become quite warm-and how up here behind the wall there is 57 , but as soon as
going opposite a window you can find the sun. There is no 58 so good as this for feeling the
difference between light and shade. It is not the first time I've come up."
