答案与解析
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文，讲述作者在7岁时在一次舞蹈表演时出现失误从自信到沮丧的思想变化过程。
1．A 从语境和动词选项看，这里用动词 filled 表示“使某物充满(另一物)；装满”：大厅里坐满了前来观看表演的家人，也充满了兴奋的气氛。
2．D 从语境的“大厅里充满兴奋的气氛，坐满了家人”可知他们是来看我表演。因此语境表示7岁的我成为大家关注的中心，用 the center of attention 表示“大家关注的中心”。pressure 压力；impression 印象；debate 争论，三项均不符合语境。
3．B 最终，在几周的准备之后，我将通过舞蹈表演来展示我辛勤劳动的成果。show off 显示，炫耀；take over 接管；look after 照看；give up 放弃，从语境的连贯判断选B表示“展示”。
4．D 经过几个星期的准备，我此时准备在大家面前露一手。由此判断，此时的“我”觉得一切都会很完美。所以选D。
5．A 下文说节目主持人用嘹亮而清晰的声音宣布接下来就是我们班级的表演，由此判断，“我”在后台穿好了表演服装。dress up 盛装打扮；fold up 折叠；cover up 盖住，遮住；mix up 混淆。
6．C 这里表示节目演出中主持人宣布演出的节目，因此选C。announce 宣布，宣读。
7．B 既然是登台表演，面对的自然是观众(the audience)，而不是“音乐，幕布，舞台”，故选B。
8．A 语境说“我保持微笑，把头抬得高高的”，可见作者此时非常自得，满脸都是绽放的微笑，因此选A，“这个动作太容易了”。本句为后面叙述我的失误埋下伏笔。
9．D 从语境看，我这个小演员此时踌躇满志，决定好好地表演一番，于是把注意力全都集中在保持微笑上。
10．C 这里用 where 引导状语从句表示地点：我只顾着笑对观众，却没有注意自己的脚下。
11．B 从最后一段最后一句 I slipped during a performance (我在这次舞蹈表演中跌倒)可知选B。
12．A 我没有注意同伴们的动作，结果表演出错，引来观众的一片嘲笑，此时我感到一股热血往脸上涌来，也就是说，此时我的脸都觉得发烫，脸红了。从这些分析判断选A。
13．D 如果出错，但保持微笑可以使观众注意不到你的错误。leave 离开；cheer 欢呼；believe 相信，均不符合语境。故选D。
14．C 根据后文 as I continued with the routine (我继续进行舞蹈动作)可知我努力按老师说的做。follow one's advice 按某人说的做。因此选C。
15．B 由于表演中出错，我的希望随着幕布降落而破灭。所以选B。doubt 疑惑；voice 声音；patience 耐心，均与语境不符。
16．D 从 tasting the salt from the tears that streamed down my face (品尝着顺着脸往下流的眼泪的咸味)得知此处应该是哭泣。故选D。
17．B 从前文 I sobbed bitterly (我哭得很伤心)得知没有人能够让我平静下来。turn sb.down 拒绝某人；let down 使失望；put down 放下。只有 calm down (使平静)符合语境。故选B。
18．A 从最后一段 I finished the routine with a smile on my face.(我面带微笑完成舞蹈动作。)可以看出虽然我有失误，但我依然按要求完成了舞蹈动作，并没有因失误半途而废。虽败犹荣。pioneer 先驱；loser 输家；fool 傻瓜，都不符合短文内容，故被排除。所以选A。
19．C 根据第二段第七句的“and I felt the blood rush to my face 并且我感到脸一下子红了”推知我很尴尬。satisfied 感到满意的；moved 感动的；confused 迷惑不解的。都不能准确描述我的感受，应该排除。故选C。
20．B 从 but I fought the urge to run off the stage (但是我克制了想离开舞台的想法)和 I finished the routine with a smile on my face (我面带微笑完成舞蹈动作)看出有转折并进一步说明之意。however 然而，只表示转折；in total 总计；in return 作为回报，均不符合语境，所以被排除。因此选B。
Ⅲ.阅读理解
(2011·上海高考)The teacher who did the most to encourage me was, as it happens, my aunt.She was Myrtle C．Manigault, the wife of my mother's brother Bill.She taught me in second grade at allblack Sumner School in Camden, New Jersey.
During my childhood and youth, Aunt Myrtle encouraged me to develop every aspect of my potential, without regard for what was considered practical or possible for black females.I liked to sing; she listened to my voice and pronounced it good.I couldn't dance; she taught me the basic dancing steps.She took me to the theatre—not just children's theatre but adult comedies and dramas—and her faith that I could appreciate adult plays was not disappointed.
My aunt also took down books from her extensive library and shared them with me.I had books at home, but they were all serious classics.Even as a child I had a strong liking for humour, and I'll never forget the joy of discovering Don Marquis's Archy & Mehitabel through her.
Most important, perhaps, Aunt Myrtle provided my first opportunity to write for publication.A writer herself for one of the black newspapers, she suggested my name to the editor as a “youth columnist”．My column, begun when I was fourteen, was supposed to cover teenage social activities—and it did—but it also gave me the freedom to write on many other subjects as well as the habit of gathering material, the discipline of meeting deadlines, and, after graduation from college six years later, a solid collection of published material that carried my name and was my passport to a series of writing jobs.
Today Aunt Myrtle is still an enthusiastic supporter of her “favourite niece”．Like a diamond, she has reflected a bright, multifaceted (多面的) image of possibilities to every pupil who has crossed her path.
1．Which of the following did Aunt Myrtle do to the author during her childhood and youth?
A．She lent her some serious classics.
B．She cultivated her taste for music.
C．She discovered her talent for dancing.
D．She introduced her to adult plays.
2．What does Archy & Mehitabel in Paragraph 3 probably refer to?
A．A book of great fun.
B．A writer of high fame.
C．A serious masterpiece.
D．A heartbreaking play.
3．Aunt Myrtle recommended the author to a newspaper editor mainly to ________.
A．develop her capabilities for writing
B．give her a chance to collect material
C．involve her in teenage social activities
D．offer her a series of writing jobs
4．We can conclude from the passage that Aunt Myrtle was a teacher who ________.
A．trained pupils to be diligent and welldisciplined
B．gave pupils confidence in exploiting their potential
C．emphasized what was practical or possible for pupils
D．helped pupils overcome difficulties in learning
答案与解析
[语篇解读] 本文为记叙文。文章讲述“我”的舅妈Myrtle C．Manigault一如既往，不遗余力地鼓励“我”发展各方面潜能的小故事。她从小学二年级开始至今对“我”无微不至的关怀使“我”终身受益。她特别注重挖掘学生的潜力以使她的每个学生全面发展。
1．D 事实细节题。根据第二段第四句可知，在“我”青少年时期，她带我去剧院，给“我”介绍成人戏剧，故本题D项正确。其他三项都是对文章内容的误解。
2．A 推理判断题。由第三段第一句My aunt also took down books from her extensive library and shared them with me可知，此处Archy & Mehitabel是一本书。故选A。
3．A 推理判断题。由文章第二段第一句During my childhood and youth，Aunt Myrtle encouraged me to develop every aspect of my potential...和第四段第一句内容可知，Myrtle舅妈一直在试图开发我的各种潜力，而把我推荐给报纸编辑主要是想培养我的写作能力。故选A。
4．B 推理判断题。文章第一段介绍Myrtle舅妈。从第二段到结尾，主要讲述了她在开发学生潜力方面所做的工作。因此我们可以推测，Myrtle舅妈就是一个给学生自信去开发潜能的老师。
