本文为一篇记叙文。“我”九岁那年第一次当众演讲,充满了恐惧和害羞,但是最终成功了。从此,“我”明白了一个道理:人生路上,我们只有克服恐惧,才能实现目标。
1.terribly [考查词性转换。句意:你能想象我一想到在好多双眼睛的注视下演讲时,我是多么害羞。形容词shy需要副词来修饰,故填terribly。]
2.fixed [考查非谓语动词作宾补。句意参考上一题解析。由短语fix one's eyes on...可知fix和eyes之间为动宾关系,故用过去分词。]
3.choice [考查词性转换。句意:然而,我没有别的选择……。no后加名词,故填choice。]
4.lay [考查动词时态。句意:但是困难的部分在于我的口头陈述……。由语境可知这是对过去事情的回忆,故用一般过去时。]
5.when [考查时间状语从句。句意:当我站在讲台上双腿哆嗦,大脑一片空白时,真正(考验我的)时刻到了。根据句意可知此处需要时间状语从句的引导词when,意为“当……的时候”。]
6.listeners [考查词性转换。句意:但是我的听众们还在耐心地等我,没有轰我走的迹象。形容词性物主代词后要加名词,故用名词listener,意为“听众”,由后面的谓语动词were可知此处应填复数形式。]
7.it [考查固定短语。句意:……我成功了!make it意为“成功;准时到达”,为固定短语。]
8.disappeared [考查词性转换和时态。句意:从那时起,我对当众演讲的恐惧消失了。根据上下文可知作者在第一次演讲中克服了恐惧,故填appear的反义词disappear,意为“消失”;因为该动作发生在过去,故填disappeared。]
9.to [考查固定短语。句意:回首过去,我知道在我们通往成功的路上最大的困难就是我们的恐惧。on one's way to意为“在某人去……的路上”,为固定短语。]
10.and [考查连词。句意:克服了它,我们就能实现我们的目标。这里运用了“祈使句+and/or+陈述句”的句型,分析语境应该填and。]

作者从小就在祖母家长大,深受她勤奋、乐观的人生态度的影响。后来祖母由于髋关节受伤而被迫搬进了养老院。刚过完九十大寿的祖母又患上了老年痴呆症,虽然她认不出家人,但爱依旧存在于她心中。
1.as [考查介词。句意:作为一个男孩,我很庆幸自己在她(祖母)家长大。此处as意为“作为”,符合句意。]
2.what [考查宾语从句。设空处引导宾语从句,并在从句中作threw的宾语,且指事物,故用what。]
3.was forced [考查动词时态和语态。句意:我父亲被迫承认自己不能再在家照顾祖母了。根据句意,force与Dad之间为动宾关系,且文章叙述的是过去的事情,故此处应用一般过去时的被动语态。]
4.that [考查强调句式。强调句的基本句型为“It is/was+被强调部分+that/who+其他”,本句被强调的是状语with a heavy heart,连接词应用that。]
5.for [考查介词。本句中,we all had ________ her为定语从句,修饰先行词love。将该定语从句还原为简单句为We all had love ________ her.“对某人的爱”用have love for sb.来表示,故填介词for。]

9.holding [考查非谓语动词。句意:她低头看着我的手握着她的手……。句中已有谓语动词looked,故设空处为非谓语动词,hold与其逻辑主语my hand之间为主动关系,因此应用现在分词作后置定语。]
10.peacefully [考查词性转换。设空处修饰谓语动词went,应用副词形式,故填peacefully。]
