第二节
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍失败的好处——我们能从中学会谦虚、灵活变通，增强内驱力和创新精神，从而成为更好的自己。
36. E 空处是过渡句，起承上启下的作用。空前一句讲“有时候我们会失败，这没什么大不了的”，空后一句讲“让我们讨论一下我们如何在每一次挫折中实现逆转”，因此空处应涉及面对失败的正确态度和做法。E项“真正重要的是我们能从失败中学到什么”衔接上下文，符合语境。故选E。
37. F 空前讲“大多数时候，失败会让我们不自负，并防止我们认为自己总是比别人优秀和重要”。空处应承接上文，继续讨论失败和自我的关系。F项“通过它们，我们事实上学会了在生活中非常重要的谦虚”符合语境。F项中的“them”指代前面的“failures”，“learn mdesty”呼应上文中的“keep ur egs at bay”和“prevent us thinking f urselves as always better and mre imprtant than thers”。故选F。
38. A 本段主题是要学会灵活变通。空前讲“但是我们能够成功并达成所有的目标”，空后讲“这就是我们必须一直保持灵活的原因”。因此空处应与灵活有关，且说明要想获得成功并达成目标需要做什么。A项“所需要的就是一点点调整”与上下文衔接紧密，符合语境。A项中的“it”指代空前一句中的“成功并达成所有的目标”；下文中的“adapt”与A项中的“adjustment”呼应。故选A。
39. B 空处是本段的主旨句。根据下文内容可知，本段重点介绍了失败可以激发我们的斗志，故B项“大多数时候，失败可以成为巨大的动力”能概括本段大意，且空后的“They”和“them”指代的就是B项中的“mtivatrs”。故选B。
40. G 本段主题是创新。上文讲“创新是我们从失败中学到的宝贵经验。当我们在某件事上失败时，它教会我们要有创新精神并创造性地解决问题。如果你在某件事上束手无策，不要感到羞愧”。因此空处应是在介绍此时你应该怎么做。G项“学会从不同的角度和用新技巧处理问题”说的就是具体的做法，且是下文的“最终你会成功”的条件。故选G。
第三部分 语言运用
第一节
本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述Andy Davis和他的妻子决定骑自行车周游美国，但在出发几个月前Davis被诊断出患有心力衰竭，情况危急。经过漫长的等待，Davis终于等到了心脏移植的机会，这颗心脏来自一个名叫Sarah Ivy的女性。Davis体会到了人性的善良，对Ivy及其家人充满感激，他计划骑行去Ivy家当面致谢。

46. A 考查动词辨析。根据下一句中的“Davis was placed n a heart replacement list”以及倒数第二段中的“he is still alive”可推出，此处是说“唯一可以让他存活下来的方法就是移植一颗新的心脏”。survive“存活下来”；insist“坚称”；respnd“回应”；escape“逃跑”。故选A。

第二节
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人类和鸟类在农田上的奇妙关系。

参考范文：
Shuld Kids Be Paid fr Ding Husewrk?
When it cmes t the questin f “Shuld kids be paid fr ding husewrk?”, I take the view that kids shuld be paid.
Firstly, paying kids fr ding husewrk can imprve their enthusiasm fr labr, mtivating them t take n mre respnsibilities and cmplete tasks n their wn initiative. Secndly, getting a reward helps kids develp a sense f equity. It can teach them that their effrts are valuable and shuld be paid accrdingly. Lastly, kids culd better understand “n pains, n gains” in the prcess.
All in all, paying fr ding husewrk is adptable. It thrws light n the fact that life is based n hard wrk and that ne must make effrts t get what he wants.
