【3】句意：有些关于学科、时间安排、分数和教材的信息。

空格是句子的谓语，判断填动词；根据上文课本很贵，一些学生用使用过的课本，推断下文一些学生从图书馆借，borrow意为“向……借……”，故选E。

【7】句意：老师鼓励学生问问题或者表明你自己的观点。

空格和ask question并列做动词不定式宾补，判断填动词原形；根据上文“In class, discussing is very important在课堂上讨论是非常重要的.” 推断下文是“老师鼓励学生提问或表明自己的观点”；show意为“表明”，故选A.

【8】句意：他们通常不会叫你坐得好好地。

空格在动词sit后面，判断填副词；根据下文“Instead, they allow you to sit or stand everywhere you like相反的，他们允许你坐在或站在你喜欢的地方.”，由此推断，上课不需要好好地坐着；well意为“好地”，故选D。
