一、语法选择(本大题共10小题,每小题1分,共10分)
请通读下面短文,掌握其大意,根据语法和上下文连贯的要求,从每小题所给的三个选项中选出一个最佳答案。
My father used to say “If you can't get little things right, how can you do big things right?”I feel that way about commas(逗号).Something can go wrong 1 a piece of writing when commas are used carelessly around the pages.My writing students often put a comma wherever they feel one 2 .
( D )1.A.at B.with C.in
( B )2.A.needs B.is needed C.needed
Then again, another kind of poor writings is quite opposite: no 3 can be found anywhere.I always feel a bit disappointed(失望的), even 4 , when I see the lovely commas abused(滥用) in these ways.Such abuses mean that my students don't know how 5 this mark.But commas are important.They separate ideas.They show relationships.In a talk, commas can mean life or death, “Kill ducks!” or “Kill,ducks!”
( C )3.A.comma's B.commas C.commas'
( A )4.A.sad B.sadder C.saddest
( B )5.A.use B.to use C.using
Then again, I also failed to learn the importance of the commas until I 6 writing to first-year students.I remember the head of the programme, 7 strict, white-haired woman, saying, “You have no idea where the commas go 8 why.” I felt terrible.How could I have misunderstood something so basic
( D )6.A.teach B.am teaching C.taught
( A )7.A.a B.an C.the
( B )8.A.so B.or C.but
Well, the thing is, commas aren't so basic, and learning to use 9 takes years.Oscar Wilde once joked about 10 a hard day of writing was like: spending the morning taking out a comma, and in the afternoon, putting it back in.That sounds about right.
( B )9.A.they B.them C.their
( C )10.A.why B.when C.what

C.helped D.troubled
( )12.A.spelling B.speaking
C.reading D.listening

When I arrived in Germany, I felt like I was making a fresh start.My book 14 didn't work when I used it to read emails and talk with my classmates.I was often nervous at school because I always 15 whether the teachers would ask me to answer questions.I only 16 a little around my eight roommates.They were willing to speak German slowly to me and didn't seem to mind my 17 .

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 18 , but nothing helped.I had no idea what the class was really about.
Years have passed, but I still remember how hard to 19 another language.That trip was a difficult but 20 lesson.I think my failure that term taught me just as much as my success.
