With luxury cars, like Bentley, Lamborghini and Rolls-Royce, going into the world of SUVs, if you have deep pockets, you will be spoilt for choice. Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Using a new aerodynamic system allows it to set a car lap record of 6: 4497 at Nurburgring, one of the longest and most challenging circuits in the world.

The authors say it's time to admit to ourselves that one-size-fits-all diets don't work, and when it comes to nutrition, it's about doing what works best for your body, not catching the latest diet fashion. "For years, we've been trying to search for that silver-bullet diet and we've been miserably failing," Segal said. "And that's because the best diet for each person really has to be tailored to that individual." They conducted a personalised nutrition project at Weizmann, where hundreds of volunteers agreed to have their blood sugar tested after meals. One participant in the study, a woman named Ruti, said she was surprised that it was tomatoes - not ice cream or candies - that were raising her blood sugar level. Ruti recalled, "I have now significantly reduced my intake of tomato and I'm feeling much more energetic, which still surprises me. I have already lost a couple of pounds, and I have high hopes that I have finally found the answer to my weight struggle, too." The Israeli scientists found that some people can consume traditionally unhealthy foods with little or no rise in their blood sugar levels, while others have a stronger response, and therefore shouldn't eat those foods. It's those kinds of results that you can only find from a personalised diet. "What we were surprised to find out was just like any other food, there is no such thing as good bread," Elinav said. "The response to bread was completely individualised."24.What is suggested in the first sentence？ A. Everyone has their own tastes.B. Nutrition serves your body best.C. People's response to the same food is different.D. The latest diet doesn't fit each person.25.What does "that silver-bullet diet" refer to？ A. A diet that is low in fat.B. A diet that begins a new diet trend.C. A diet that works best for everyone.D. A diet that provides all the nutrition.26.Ruti's example suggests that to control weight, one needs to _ .A. eat much fewer tomatoesB. control their blood sugar levelsC. struggle for weight loss constantlyD. eat according to his or her blood sugar level27.Why is Elinav's opinion on bread mentioned in the last paragraph？ A. To advise people not to eat unhealthy food.B. To stress the need of the personalised diet.C. To explain the popularity of white bread.D. To show the importance of good bread.CWhen David Carter started to study art at The University of Texas（UT）at Austin in 1971, he had big dreams of becoming an artist or a writer. But his study came to a stop at 23 after he hurt his hand in an unpleasant event. He developed schizophrenia（精神分裂症） later and spent many years without a home. Carter liked to spend time around UT, because he dreamt of being able to continue his study in the university and becoming a writer. After running into Carter many times, UT student Ryan Chandler decided to interview him for a project for the Daily Texan, the student newspaper of UT "I interviewed him on Austin's homeless problems. After I heard his story, we kept in touch and really became friends. I learned he wanted to get back to UT, so I decided to help him," said Chandler. "He had got 87 hours, very close to a degree. Now, with changing degree requirements, he only has 64 hours to go." With the help of Chandler, who worked with the university office, Carter was assigned an adviser by UT's College of Fine Arts. "It's the greatest gift I've ever received," Carter said. "He did what had to be done to get me back to school, and I couldn't have done it without him." After seeing a magazine article about Carter, a UT schoolmate decided to pay his tuition fees（学费）without telling Chandler his name. Doug Dempster, dean of the College of Fine Arts, said in a statement, "David Carter's decision to complete his degree is a testament（证明） to finishing well what was started, and stopped, even many years earlier. We welcome him back as we do many students each year whose education could not be completed easily. We're going to help him through his remaining course work."28.Why did Carter stop studying in the university? A. He hurt an artist.B. He couldn't afford his study.C. He got a strange disease.D. He had a hand injury.29.What was Chandler's purpose in interviewing Carter? A. To do a project on homelessness.B. To know why he hung around UTC. To make friends with a homeless person.D. To finish his homework on helping others.30.Which of the following words can best describe Chandler? A. Brave.B. Honest.C. Warm-hearted.D. Strong-minded.31.What can we learn from Dempster's words in the statement? A. He encourages Carter to study hard.B. He supports students who never give up.C. He calls on other students to help Carter.D. He suggests other students learn from Carter.DSome people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I'm not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don't come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that's just the reality of how life is. However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10，000 hours studying and practising. To become great at certain things, it'll require even more time, time that most people won't put in. This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don't enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it. When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It's sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there's a huge chance that you're wrong anyway. Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you're not willing to put in the time and work, don't expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work won't guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.32.Paragraph 1 mainly talks about _ .A. the reasons for successB. the meaning of successC. the standards of successD. the importance of success33.Successful people suggest doing what one loves because _ .A. work makes one feel painB. one tends to enjoy his workC. one gives up his work easilyD. it takes a lot of time to succeed34.What can we infer from Paragraph 4？ A. Successful people like to show their great skills.B. People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.C. People need to achieve success at the cost of life.D. It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.35.What is the main theme of the passage？ A. Having a goal is vital to success.B. Being good is different from being great.C. One cannot succeed without time and practice.D. Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.第二节（共5小题:每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。Unless you think you're the smartest, who doesn't want to be smarter？Of course I want to be smarter too. So I try to find out who's the real smart guy that maybe I can learn from. 36 They probably do social media. Not always, but probably. 37 They also use this to ensure they can feed their brains with things they otherwise wouldn't have come across. 38 They never bother their head about the problem of "work-life balance" and somehow manage to seem 100% engaged in what they're doing, on all fronts simultaneously（同时）,even though you know they're taking appropriate steps behind the scenes to make sure their lives are well balanced. They know they are the smartest in the room, but they don't spend much time talking about that. 39 That is, they challenge themselves to make everyone else in the room the smartest person too. They never, ever, under any circumstances, make you look stupid, even though it would be easy to do so. They've learned through bitter experience that the only thing that happens when you make someone look bad is that you look bad yourself. If they are managers, they will make every effort to get people more connected and more popular than them in their teams. 40 They're not threatened because they know that smartness is synergistic.（相互促进的） A. It is not only a chance to listen. B. They know it is an advantage to them. C. They take it as a personal challenge instead. D. They will be smiling even when things go wrong. E. Now I've got an answer about whether someone's smart. F. They also ensure their smart people look smarter than them. G. They deal with home, work and personal interests perfectly.第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A, B, C和D）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。    I took a job as a receptionist for a veterinarian(兽医) almost five decades ago.
