When I was young, I was terribly poor in the Chinese. Be afraid of expressing myself was one of the reasons that I rarely did well in school. Once I failed in a mid-term exam. When I got the papers, I realized things could have been better if I listened to the teacher much more attentive. So I turned to my teacher for helps and he told me, “Where there is a will, there is a way. If we are devoted to learning Chinese, you’ll make it.” I couldn’t agree much. From then on, I began to work harder. Out of my expect, I made great progress soon. Today, Chinese is wher e my strength lies. And I’m grateful for my Chinese teacher.
参考答案：
试题分析：本文是一篇记叙文。

作者年轻时中文差，在老师的帮助下，经过努力，最终中文变成了自己的优势。

1.考查冠词。

当我年轻的时候，我的中文非常差。

此处Chinese指“汉语”，故把前面的the去掉。

2. 考查动名词。

Be afraid of expressing myself was one of the reasons why I rarely did well in school.句中没有主语，动词原形be不能做主语，应该用动名词做主语，故把Be改成Being。

3.考查虚拟语气。

我意识到如果我听了老师更细心的话，事情会变得更好。

此处是if引导的虚拟语气，与过去的事实相反，所以if条件句用过去完成时态，故在listened前加had。

4.考查副词。

副词修饰动词，故把attentive改成attentively。

5.考查固定搭配。

turn to sb. for help转过身来向某人求助，故把helps改成help。

6.考查固定搭配。

devote oneself to 献身于---，此处to是介词，后面用名词或动名词做宾语，故把learn改成learning。

7.考查比较级。

我完全同意。

否定词和比较级连用表示最高级的意思，故把much改成more。

8.考查名词。

形容词性物主代词修饰名词，故把expect改成expectation(s)。

9.考查表语从句。

中文是我的优势所在。

Which（哪一个），表示一种选择，做主语或宾语；where （在哪里），做地点状语。

故把which改成where。

10.考查固定词组。

be grateful to sb.对某人感激，故把for改成to。

【点睛】
“否定词+比较级”表示最高级含义，也是一种强调。

I couldn’t find a better answer.这个答案是最好的。

本题第7小题就是考查比较级的这一用法。

The broker answered curiously, “You don’t have an e-mail, and yet have succeeded to build an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an e-mail?” The man thought for a while and replied, “Yes, I’d be an office boy at Microsoft!”
