Ⅰ.阅读理解
Nelson Mandela once said, “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart.” I've always enjoyed learning new languages. So far, I've learned 11 languages.
German is the first language I started learning completely on my own. I don't remember clearly why I chose to learn it, but I remember I had no idea how to learn it. I spent several months reading an old grammar book found in my grandmother's bookcase. I quickly became sad.
Then I saw an ad on TV about a language series in 4 languages and decided to give it a go. While using it, I came up with my method: a special technique to absorb the basic patterns of any language in a light, natural and fun way. I quickly realized that it was helpful to me.
After using the technique for a year and a half, I met a group of Germans while on vacation. I would always remember their faces as they repeatedly asked in surprise, “Why do you speak German so well？” This reaction and the resulting, special connection were enough to fuel my passion to perfect my German. From that moment on, I started reading a lot. The language has become an important part of my life.
Lesson learned: If you find a method that you like and works, you can start learning any language by yourself. There is no best method of learning a language. Find something that is helpful to you. And above all, experiment!
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述的是语言学习的好处以及作者对语言学习的方法和见解。
1．What Nelson Mandela said shows the importance of .
A．going to others' hearts
B．understanding foreigners
C．learning foreign languages
D．learning our mother tongue well
√
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart.”可推知，纳尔逊·曼德拉的话说明了学习外语的重要性。
2．What did the author most probably think of the grammar book
A．Simple. B．Helpful.
C．Excellent. D．Disappointing.
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I spent several months reading an old grammar book found in my grandmother's bookcase. I quickly became sad.”可知，作者觉得旧的语法书是令人失望的。
√
3．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to
A．The ad.
B．The language series.
C．Learning all lessons in a light, natural and fun way.
D．The way the author learned from the language series.
√
解析： 代词指代题。根据第三段中的“Then I saw ...I came up with my method”。再根据后文 “I quickly realized that it was helpful to me.”可知作者发现自己从语言系列中学到的方法很有帮助。所以画线词“it”指的是作者从语言系列中学到的方法。

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。如何为考试做准备？本文作者给出了几条可行的建议。
4．选G 根据上文“一些学生学习很好，但仍然可能很害怕考试，由于这个原因，他们会感到沮丧，无法获得(应得的)分数。”可知，G项“所以开始学习之前，放下恐惧，释放你的内心”承接上文，符合语境，且该项中的So 与上文构成因果关系，故选G。
5．选C 根据上文“在开始学习前准备一个时间表。”可知，C项“这应该包括所有科目”承接上文，符合语境，且该项中的This 指上文“时间表”，故选C。
6．选F 根据上文“学习氛围起着非常重要的作用。”和下文“所以选择一个你觉得舒服的地方。”可知，F项承接上下文，故选F。
7．选E 根据上文“为了使复习更容易，笔记应简明扼要。”和下文“但不要试图涵盖所有内容。”可知，E项承接上下文，故选E。
8．选A 本空是一个小标题，应该用祈使句。根据下文“考试前一晚你必须睡个好觉，至少6小时，不超过8小时。”和“吃你日常的食物”可知，A项切题。
