第二节：书面表达（满分25分）
Dear Helpful,
I’m a middle school student and I’m in trouble. I used to like English, but now I have some difficulty in English, especially in English writing. Though I know English is a very important subject, I think now it is too difficult for me. You know I have got poor results in English tests many times because my writing is poor. I wonder why so many students like English and can get good results in English tests. I do want to be one of the best students and go to a famous university after graduation. But my English is not good enough. What should I do?

阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。（请注意问题后的字数要求）。

Many students find it hard to make friends when they are in high school. Keeping my suggestions in mind may give you a hand. They certainly helped me, and by the end of my three years of high school, I had formed my group of friends, with whom I still keep in touch now.

Here are my tips:

Say hello anytime I see an acquaintance（相识的人）.

Because I was always smiling and greeting the people I knew, people naturally thought I was friendly（though I am not naturally sociable）. And high school students want to be friends with sociable people.

Take the first step.

All the girls there already knew each other—they didn't need another friend. But I did, so I had to make the effort. I had to be the first one to invite somebody to go to a movie with me, or come to my house. Once I did that they started to respond with the same thing.

Use classes to get to know people.

I met most of my first friends because I sat next to them in class. Class（before, after, or even during class time）is a great opportunity to begin a conversation. For example, ask for help about homework.

Make friends slowly.

I couldn't get discouraged (泄气的) when it took a while to make friends．It really takes some time to make new friends. In a word, ________________________.

　Above all, remember that it can and will get better. You may have to work a little to make your high school experience a great one, but it's really worth it!

1. For what purpose does the writer write this passage?（Please answer within 15 words.）

2. Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?

I was believed to be sociable because of my friendly attitude towards others．

_____________________________________________________________________

3.Fill in the blank with a sentence.（Please answer within 10 words.）  _____________________________________________________________________

4. Which piece of advice does the following sentence belong to? (Write in detail)

Everybody should make friends patiently in high school.

5.Translate the underlined sentence in the first paragraph into Chinese.　　  ___________________________________________________________________

A Love Note To My Mom

When I was a little girl, I would often follow you as you modeled (做模特) for fashion magazine. It was years later that I finally understood what role modeling    in your life. I know little that you were      every penny you earned to go to        school.

I cannot thank you enough for   you told me one autumn afternoon when I was nine. After finishing my homework, I wandered into the dining room where you were buried    piles of law books. I was      .Why were you doing what I do—memorizing textbooks and studying for     ? When you said you were in law school, I was more puzzled. I didn’t know Moms      be lawyers too. You smiled and said,“In life, you can do anything you want to do.”

Though I was young, your words kept      in my ears. I watched as you faced the      of completing your studies, starting companies with Dad, while still being a      and a Mom of five kids. I was tired just watching you      . With your wise words in my       mind, I suddenly felt free to dream. My whole world     . I set out to live my life filled with      , seeing endless possibilities for personal achievements.

Your words became my motto. I      found myself in the position of being either the first (woman doctor in Maryland Rotary)       one of the few women (top medical reporters) in my field. I gained strength every time I said , “Yes, I’ll try that.”

 Encouraged by your      , I have forged ahead (毅然前行) with my life’s journey, less afraid to make mistakes, and       meeting each challenge. You did it, and now I’m      it. Sorry, got to run. So much to do, so many dreams to live.
