For some reason, I really liked the language, but I was not very good at learning it. The grammar 1 me a lot and even drove me crazy. The one thing I’m good at was 2 － I got an A on every word test I took. After two years of study, I managed to communicate in broken German and began to study in Germany to complete my education. It was the 3 term I would ever have. The moment I arrived in Germany, I felt like I was making a fresh start. The German I learned in college wasn’t 4 for everyday conversation. My book knowledge didn’t work when I used it to read emails and talk with my classmates. I was often nervous at school because I always 5 about whether the teachers would call on me in class and whether I would understand their questions. I only 6 a little with my new friend, Daniel. It’s mainly because he was willing to speak German slowly to me and didn’t seem to mind my 7 . I chose to study three courses － reading and writing, grammar and history. All were in German and difficult, but the history class was the worst. The teacher spoke so fast that almost everything he said flew right over my head. I sat in the front, took notes and even wrote down every single word he said 8 , but nothing helped. I had no idea what the class was really about. Years have passed, but I still remember how it felt to 9 another language so hard. That trip was a difficult but 10 lesson. I think my failure that term taught me just as much as my success. (　　) 1. A. gave B. saved C. helped D. troubled (　　) 2. A. spelling B. speaking C. reading D. listening (　　) 3. A. easiest B. hardest C. happiest D. luckiest (　　) 4. A. important B. useless C. helpful D. special (　　) 5. A. worried B. learned C. talked D. asked (　　) 6. A. feared B. relaxed C. rested D. celebrated (　　) 7. A. purposes B. changes C. opinions D. mistakes (　　) 8. A. sadly B. angrily C. carefully D. slowly (　　) 9. A. teach B. learn C. create D. describe (　　) 10. A. funny B. boring C. meaningful D. terri ble 三、阅读理解（26分） A The SQ3R (SURVEY, QUESTION, READ, RECITE, and REVIEW) is used to study a textbook. Proposed by Francis P.

C Every day, from early in the morning until late in the evening, under the hot sun, the slaves (奴隶) picked cotton and put it in their sacks (麻袋). When finishing, Legree weighed it, and there was whipping (抽打) for the slaves that didn’t pick enough cotton. Tom learnt to pick cotton quickly. One day a new beautiful woman, Cassy, arrived to pick cotton. Tom noticed that she was very fast. He also noticed that an older slave, Martha, was in pain. She was slow, and her sack was almost empty. Tom went near Martha, and silently put a lot of his cotton into her sack. “No, don’t.” said the new woman. “They will punish you.” Just then Sambo arrived. “What’s happening?” he said and he kicked Martha and whipped Tom across his face. The blood was running from his face. “Work faster!” But when he left, Tom quickly gave her some more of his cotton. Suddenly, the new woman put much cotton in Tom’s sack. “Tom is going to make much trouble. He kept putting cotton into Martha’s sack,” Sambo told Legree. “Then we’ll have to teach him a lesson,” said Legree. Slowly the tired slaves came into the room for the weighing of the sacks. First Legree weighed Tom’s sack, and it was enough. Martha’s sack was next. The weight was enough, but Legree shouted at her. “You’re so lazy! This is not enough! Stay here and wait.” He finished weighing all the other sacks, and then turned to Tom. “Come here,” said Legree. “I want to give you a better job than picking cotton, and you can start tonight: take this woman and whip her － you know how.” “I’m sorry, Master,” said Tom. “I can’t do it.” Legree whipped Tom across his face and then hit him with his hands many times. “There!” he said. “Now will you tell me you can’t do it?” “Yes, Master,” said Tom, with blood running down his face. “I will work night and day, but I will never whip another person.” “I bought you, and you’re mine, body and soul (灵魂),” Legree said, kicking Tom. “My soul isn’t yours, Master! You can’t buy it!” “We’ll see,” said Legree. “Sambo, Quimbo, give him a lesson.” －Taken from Uncle Tom’s Cabin (　　) 7. Why did the new woman put much cotton in Tom’s sack? A.

They make you laugh, go on journeys with you, and they’re there for you when you’re in trouble. But sometimes making new friends can be hard. So being able to make friends easily is a helpful skill to develop. ②Just be yourself. You needn’t be perfect, but you should be honest. That’s the key of being yourself. Let others see the real you. A good friend will like you for who you are, and if they don’t, then maybe they are not the friends that you want to have. ③Be open and try new things. Sometimes, meeting people can be difficult. Try new hobbies or interests that get you out and meet new people. You can join a club at school, attend a social event, or help at your community. ④Take the chances to talk to someone. You could be conversation starters. Don’t worry about saying anything special—just open a conversation by saying something friendly, like “Isn’t it a nice day?” or “That’s a beautiful dress!” ⑤Look for people who have the same hobbies as you. You’re more likely to be friends with someone if you have something in common. From talking to someone, you may find out that you have similar interests or hobbies. Using this can help build a friendship as you can discuss or do together. ⑥Make the effort to keep contact. Friendships take time and effort, but a good friendship will be worth the effort. Make time and share your life with your friend. Make a phone call if you are far away. ⑦If you’ve tried these skills, but still find it difficult to make friends, take it easy. Don’t worry if a friendship doesn’t happen all at once. It takes time. (　　) 10. How does the writer express his idea in Paragraph 4? A. By telling truth. B. By doing research. C.
