【题目解析】：31.冠词a后面加单数名词，符合条件选项只有： E．model 榜样
32.空格处缺少谓语动词，且需与up搭配构成动词短语，根据前一句时态可推断出选择过去式的动词，备选项有B．grew D．wanted D选项无法与up搭配 因此选择B选项 grew up， 我们一起长大。
33.由but 引导的并列句 空格应与older 对应形成并列成分 因此应选择比较级 备选项有G．wiser J．faster 句义表明虽然他只比我大两岁，但是他_____多很多年，G选项更符合题意 表示虽然他年龄上只比我大两岁，却比我聪明好很多岁。
34.He even let me _____（34）around with him when he was with his friends.空格处缺少宾补，且需与around with him 构成短语，因此需要一个动词 let后面需要加动词原形作为宾语补语，A 选项不能与 around 构成动词短语排除，因此选择K选项，意为，他甚至在和朋友们在一起的时候让我和他一起玩。
35.So I felt important and _____（35）.空格处前为and连接并列成分，因此应该填入形容词 可选选项有：D．wanted H．shaping I．lasting J．faster，选项含义应当和important相似，因此D选项符合题意，被需要
36.Most 后应填入双音节或多音节形容词或副词，逗号隔开做状语因此选择副词填入。备选项F．importantly L．probably 前一段段意为哥哥是我最好的朋友，本段讲述我哥哥教会了我了解自己的价值和了解我的世界的价值。应当形成递进关系，因此选择F选项 最重要的是
37.He taught me that _____（37）is power and knowing oneself is personal power. I now know that learning should _____（38）for a lifetime.
that后面为从句，从句缺少主语，需要名词或代词性质的词做主语。只有C选项符合题意
38.He taught me that knowledge is power and knowing oneself is personal power. I now know that learning should _____（38）for a lifetime.情态动词should 后面加动词原形 因此选择A选项。
39.In介词后面加名词H．shaping I．lasting与my behavior搭配应选择H选项
40.冠词A后面加名词relationship，空格处应该填入形容词修饰名词I．lasting
J．faster I选项更符合题意 表示长期的，永恒的。
