(2024·河南八市重點(diǎn)高中質(zhì)檢)
Around four years ago, I received a call from the principal of our school as to the “Parents View” talk the next morning. He asked me to speak to the group. After the call, my whole body became feverish and panicky. The time from his call to the next morning seemed like years. The whole night, I could not sleep with many ominous_apprehensions in mind. One of them was to call the principal with regret and tell him that I could not come. Finally, I gathered some courage. I thought, “If I miss this opportunity, surely the school will never invite me again to any of their programs.”
I reached the school in time. Before my turn came, my whole body was trembling. When my turn came and I started speaking, my heartbeat increased and my mouth went dry. I wasn't even able to read the written speech properly. I was not aware of where I was standing and what I was reading. That was the day when I realized my biggest weakness: Public Speaking.
After my speech, I met with the principal and explained what happened to me. He told me that this happens to everyone. Even great speakers faced the same things when they started. He suggested that I come again next time.
Around one month later,I was invited to refer to a topic on motivation. This time I was feeling comfortable. My speech was appreciated by the principal as well as the teachers, because I was able to get my idea across to them. They encouraged me and praised my efforts.
After delivering it successfully, I became more confident. I said to myself,“If I can speak in front of such a learned audience, like the principal who educates others, I can now speak in front of others too.”
I started delivering lectures on various topics like Self Motivation, Personality Development, Personal Excellence, Spoken English and Presentation Skills. This has become a passion for me. I have learned that everything is possible if we have the courage to take the first step.
語篇解讀:本文為記敘文。當(dāng)你站在臺(tái)上,所有的目光都集中在你身上,你會(huì)感到心臟加速,喉嚨發(fā)干,開始說話時(shí),大腦一片空白。害怕在公開場(chǎng)合演講是一種常見的心理。作者用自己的親身經(jīng)歷告訴我們“萬事開頭難”,“千里之行,始于足下”。
1.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.Practice Makes a Man a Better Speechmaker.
B.Public Speaking Makes a Man Embarrassed.
C.Principals Provide the Best Chances.
D.Spoken English Develops in Making Speeches.
答案:A 主旨大意題。由作者在第一次演講時(shí)的怯場(chǎng)到第二次的從容淡定,再到后來的應(yīng)付自如,可知答案為A項(xiàng)。
2.The author had bad feelings before the speech because ________.
A.he disliked the idea of giving a lecture
B.he had got a high fever before that
C.he regretted accepting the invitation
D.he feared he couldn't perform it properly
答案:D 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段第四句中“The time from his call to the next morning seemed like years和I gathered some courage”可知作者不是不想去完成校長(zhǎng)交給的任務(wù),而是擔(dān)心自己做不好。故答案為D項(xiàng)。
3.What does the underlined part“ominous apprehensions”in the first paragraph mean?
A.Unlucky opportunities.B.Negative ideas.
C. Curious views. D. Happy comments.
答案:B 猜測(cè)詞義題。根據(jù)畫線部分后面的“One of them was to call the principal with regret and tell him that I could not come.”可知腦海里浮現(xiàn)的是許多消極的念頭,故答案為B項(xiàng)。
4.What can we conclude from the passage?
A.Nothing is to be got without pains but poverty.
B.Knowledge makes humble;ignorance makes proud.
C.A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
D.Necessity is the mother of invention.
答案:C 推理判斷題。由文章最后一句話可知答案為C項(xiàng)“千里之行,始于足下”。
Ⅱ.七選五
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

1.What Teenagers Can Do To Earn More Respect
As teenagers continue to grow and develop into young adults, the transition(過渡) into adulthood has begun. With so many physical and emotional changes going on, certain manners are often forgotten and other adult traits are not yet accepted as a way of life.__1__ By doing the following things, you will earn more respect.
2.Contribute to the household
At the very least, clean up after yourself. As a teenager, you are old enough to clean up after yourself. When you make a mess, clean it up. __2__ All chores that you do help to reduce the load of the person who did them before. Now that you're old enough and capable, why shouldn't you contribute to the household?__3__
3.Be responsible
__4__ Whether they are basic things, like brushing your teeth or doing your homework , or more involved chores that contribute to the household, simply fulfill your responsibilities on time. When adults know that they can rely on you, their trust and respect for you will increase.
4. Solve more of your own problem without asking for help
Instead of taking the easy approach and asking for help, make an effort to solve your problems on your own first. The “easy way ” is only easy for you, but it is an extra task for the person from whom you are seeking help. Seek help only after you have make an honest effort to solve your own problems. __5__ When you become a good problem solver, you increase your valve to the community.

語篇解讀:本篇文章是關(guān)于青少年要如何贏得別人尊敬和信任的幾點(diǎn)建議。首先要學(xué)會(huì)在家里幫忙做家務(wù),即使從最簡(jiǎn)單的洗碗疊被做起。其次,要學(xué)會(huì)負(fù)責(zé)任,哪怕是自己個(gè)人衛(wèi)生也要做好。最后,要學(xué)會(huì)獨(dú)立解決問題。當(dāng)把這些都做好的時(shí)候,人們對(duì)你的信任也就隨之而來了。
1.B 考查上下文的推理判斷能力。前句中出現(xiàn)的manners和traits以及后句的句式和F選項(xiàng)的句式以及句中的these manners和traits恰好呼應(yīng),語義上也能起到承上啟下的作用,所以判斷B選項(xiàng)正確。
2.D 考查上下文的推理判斷能力。前句講你應(yīng)該學(xué)會(huì)自己收拾衛(wèi)生,而D選項(xiàng)This includes. But is not limited to, your dishes and your room. “這包括在內(nèi),但不能局限在收拾自己碗筷和房間上”恰好能承接上文,故D選項(xiàng)正確。
3.C 考查上下文的推理判斷能力。本段內(nèi)容是建議青少年要學(xué)會(huì)做家務(wù)活來幫助家人。所以所填句子應(yīng)該和做家務(wù)幫忙有關(guān),而且從段落安排上看,最后一句話應(yīng)該起到總結(jié)概括作用,由此判斷C選項(xiàng)正確。句意:“如果你幫忙做家務(wù),那么平時(shí)做這種家務(wù)的人會(huì)很感激。”
4.A 考查上下文的推理判斷能力。由后句“Whether they are basic things,”可以推斷前句應(yīng)該出現(xiàn)they所替代的名詞,而根據(jù)下文舉的例子“l(fā)ike brushing your teeth or doing your homework”等可知A選項(xiàng)符合語境,能引領(lǐng)下文。句意:每個(gè)人都有某些責(zé)任。故A為正確選項(xiàng)。
5.F 考查上下文的推理判斷能力。在本段中作者建議人們不要輕易向人求助,要在自己努力而未果的情況下去找人幫忙,縱觀選項(xiàng),只有F選項(xiàng)符合語境,能承接上文。
