As a university student, I decided to learn German. For some reasons, I really liked
the language, but I was not very good at learning it. The grammar 7 me a lot and
even drove me crazy. My only advantage was 8 —I got an A on every word test I
took. After two years of studies, I struggled (挣扎) to communicate in German and
signed up to study in Germany to complete my degree. It was the 9 term I would
ever have.
The moment l arrived in Germany, I felt like I was starting from the beginning. The German I had learned in
university wasn’t 10 for everyday conversation. I was often nervous at school, and worried about whether the
teachers would call on me in class and whether I’d understand their questions. I only felt a little 11 with my
eight roommates, who were willing to speak German slowly to me and didn’t seem to mind my 12 .
I chose to study three courses—reading & writing, grammar and history. All were in German and 13 ,
and the history class was the worst. The teacher spoke so 14 that almost everything he said flew over my
head. I sat in the front, took notes and even recorded every single word he said in class, but 15 helped. I had
no idea what the class was really about.
Years have passed. I can finally speak German, but I still remember how it felt to struggle so hard at 16
another language. That trip was a difficult but valuable lesson. I think my failure taught me just as much as my
success.
7. A. gave B. helped C. troubled
8. A. listening B. spelling C. reading
9. A. hardest B. shortest C. happiest
10. A. easy B. meaningless C. useful

“Dong” is one of China’s 55 ethnic minorities，with a population of less than three
million, mainly living in South China. The ethnic group is well known for its
traditional embroidery (刺绣 ), which has long been passed down from generation to
generation (世代相传).
Qin Naishiqing is a master of Dong embroidery in Sanjiang Dong Autonomous
County in the southern part of Guangxi. At the age of 91, she is still good at cutting
paper patterns, which she says is the spirit of the handmade art. “You should be very
skillful in embroidery to become good at paper cutting. When you get a piece of paper,
you should form a picture of the patterns in your mind without actually drawing them, ” Qin said.
Teaching embroidery is a family tradition, and Qin’s two daughters-in-law usually join her in teaching
youngsters. Phoenixes (凤凰), dragons and flowers are common patterns featured in folk art, which are reproduced
on embroidered products. Spider flowers, seen as a symbol of good wishes, are very important in Dong people’s
embroidery patterns.
Every Dong girl is encouraged to learn the skill at an early age, around 9 or 10 years old. When she gets
married, she will traditionally receive a whole set of clothes, including a wedding dress, made by her mother.
There are now thousands of women in the country taking up embroidery— an art form that has remained
unchanged over the years. Qin hopes she can help make sure the tradition continues for future generations.
21. The purpose of the first paragraph is to ________.
A. introduce the topic of the passage B. tell us the population of Dong
C. show us how Dong people embroider
22. According to Qin Naishiqing，________ is an important part of embroidery.
A. paper cutting B. a great skill C. drawing pictures
23. What can people find on embroidered products

C
On June 9th, 1870, Charles Dickens died at the age of 58. The next day, a headline in The New
York Times read: “Death of the Great Novelist…Will Be Remembered by the People...”
The headline was not overstating (夸大) the popularity of Dickens. Even today, the British
novelist is loved by readers all over the world. Dickens created some unforgettable characters. You
must have heard of or even read some of his novels:Oliver Twist, A Christmas Carol and A Tale of
Two Cities. A Tale of Two Cities has sold more than 200 million copies. Since 1897, there have been
more than 300 films and TV adaptations of Dickens’ works. A Christmas Carol alone has had nearly 50.
Natalie Mcknight is a literature professor who studies Dickens and his works. She explains why the novelist
has remained so popular. One important reason, she says, is that Dickens wrote from his heart. He tried hard to
produce emotional effects (情感效果) among his readers. In his works, he paid special attention to the "little man"
at the bottom of society in the UK, which deeply mirrored the social reality at that time. A Christmas Carol, for
example, was written to make every reader think about how they could make a difference to their society. People
always enjoy works that make them laugh, cry and think. Many other 19th-century novelists wrote entertaining
works. However, few of them worked as hard as Dickens to touch the readers deeply.
Dickens wrote about situations and emotions that still interest people today. He used his pen to fight social
inequality and gave voice to the poor. His works led to many important social changes. Readers always enjoy
seeing poor people rise and succeed.
This year marks the 150th year of Dickens’ death. It’s another chance to remember this great writer. Will you
read or reread some of his famous works
25. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The personality of Dickens. B. The appearance of Dickens. C. The popularity of Dickens.
26. As a novelist, why has Dickens remained so popular
A. He wrote for fun. B. He wrote from his heart. C. He mainly wrote for the upper class.
27. What does the underlined word “inequality” mean in Paragraph 4
A. 不平等 B. 不现实 C. 不稳定
28. The writer’s purpose of writing this text is probably to _______.
A. introduce Charles Dickens’ life and death
B. encourage readers to read or reread Charles Dickens’ works
C. present the similarities between Charles Dickens and other writers
第二节 根据短文内容，从短文的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。
You’ve been learning words since you were a tiny baby. At first, you learned them only by
hearing other people talk. Now that you’re a reader, you have another way to learn words. What
should you do when you come to a word and you think you don’t know what it means 29
●Say it.
First, sound it out. Then say it to yourself. It might sound like a word you know. 30
But you don’t know what it looks like in print. So if you match up what you know and what you
read — you have the word!
●Use context (上下文).
31 Look at the context — the other words and sentences around it. Read this sentence: When it
rained, the dog looked for shelter in the doorway. If the word “shelter” doesn’t look familiar, look at the words
around it. “Rain” and “in the doorway” might give you helpful information.
● 32
If the context doesn’t help, look at the parts of the word. Does it have any parts you know These can help you
understand what it means.
●Look it up.
If the three steps above don’t work, you can look it up. 33 Nobody knows the meaning of every word,
but good readers know how to understand words they don’t know.
A. Use word parts.
B. Following some easy steps can help you.
C. You can only search the Internet for help.
D. Sometimes you know a word in your head.
E. If the first step doesn’t work, take this step.
F. You can find the word in a dictionary or online.

In the future, people may travel to Mars in a water-powered spaceship! Today’s spaceships are fine for getting
things into space, but they are not so good at traveling long distances. These spaceships burn chemical fuels (燃料),

and they are very expensive. Scientists say that a water-powered spaceship could make the trip to
Mars much cheaper. The idea is just in the planning stages now, but scientists think such a
spaceship could be developed soon.
The key to the water-powered spaceship is the engine (发动机 ). Regular engines push
spaceships by burning fuels. The water engine will use steam, created by solar panels that heat
water to a high temperature. Of course, the spaceship will have to carry·a lot of water for the long
trip to Mars.
One US company has already developed a spaceship like this. These spaceships are made of a strong material.
Two of them have already been sent up into space, using rockets and then later filled with air. “Balloon” spaceships
could be very large and carry enough water for a long trip. With the “Balloon” spaceships, enough water could be
carried to power the engines and grow food during the trip. And the people on the spaceship might even be able to
take a hot bath!
Scientists say the biggest advantage of such a spaceship would be cost. The “Balloon” spaceship uses water to
push it through space and costs about one thirtieth of a normal spaceship. Such savings naturally encourage
continued research into balloon spaceships and water engines. If these scientists are correct, we may soon be on our
way to Mars in a spaceship powered by water.
34. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 1 refers to “ ”.
35. The water engine will use steam to push spaceships instead of .
36. “Balloon” spaceships need to carry for a long trip.
37. The biggest advantage of a water-powered spaceship is that it is than a normal spaceship.
38. If you want to travel to Mars one day, how will you get there
