I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like attention drawn to myself. And
1
otherwise assignee（指定）a seat by the teacher, I always
2
to sit at the back of the classroom.
All this
3
after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy
4
because I didn’t have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the
5
to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “
6
for
it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give a try.
Getting up t he courage to go to the tryouts was only the
7
of it! When I first started
8
the practice sessions, I didn’t even know the rules of the game, much
9
what I was doing. Sometimes I’d get
10
and take a shot at the wrong direction—which made me feel really stupid.
11
, I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to
12
on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t
13
“just yet”.
I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the
14
and the “moves”. Being part of a team was fun and motivating. Very soon the competitive
15
in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the
16
— friends who respect my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!
With my
17
self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone from
18
in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself,
19
raising my hand — even when I sometimes wasn’t and not 100 percent
20
I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.

文章大意：主人公本身没有能力或者不去想象、不过那想像自己有能力做某事，经过老师点拨、帮忙下克服自卑，并且学会了展示自己。
1. C 考察逻辑关系
，and提示前后句间是并列关系，前一句说我不喜欢被被人关注，那么我一定总是坐在无人关注的角落，那么老师指派座位不过是一个想法、一种假设，于是选择C
2. D 考查动词
我对于坐在教室的后面是我自己选择的
3. B
考察动词，根据文章的叙述，在参加了运动会后我之前的状态显然是改变了
4. A
考察名词
老师建议我参加篮球队这显然是一个想法，而我认为这很疯狂
5. C
考察名词 与其他人保持同步这是我的一种“能力”的体现，这与“权利”，“机会”或者“耐心”没有任何关联。
6. A 考查动词 it显然指代我参加篮球队这件事情，那么对这件事情老师坚持的就是让我去尝尝，其它选项中，“欢呼”与“看”显然是无关选项，而既然老师已经积极鼓励我说明他已经同意了，无需我再申请，那么排除D，最后总选择A
7. B
考察名词，句末的叹号提示这里有极端情况出现，所以才会感叹，而鼓起勇气去选拔赛仅仅是成功的“一点”、“剩下”或者“基础”显然不合理，于是选择B，仅仅是一半，体现了感叹。
8. C 【解析】考查动词，根据动作的先后顺序，我显示鼓起勇气参加了选拔赛，而后文又说我不懂规则，那么昭示着我此时正在训练赛中，选择C，参加比赛
9. A 考查形容词，修饰后半句“我正在做的事情”，因为前文交代了我的平衡能力差、跟不上大家的步伐，甚至不知道规则，那么我此时做的事情必然是有欠缺，于是选择A
10. D 考查形容词，修饰我的状态，那么我能把球投进自己的篮筐，显然我这时是混乱了，于是选择D。confused的确切含义是“混乱”，至于到遇到某事大脑一片空白，不知道如何处理的状态。
11.【答案】B
【解析】考查副词，修饰后一句“我不是唯一的新人”，选择B。
12.【答案】A
【解析】考查动词，该动词与介词on构成词组修饰后句“学习打球”。
13.【答案】D
【解析】考查动词，修饰后句“just yet”（恰好现在），那么我不满现状而加倍努力训练，现在又说恰好现在的状态我不对自己太过苛责，那么首先可排除“支持”，无关选项；而因为我在发奋努力训练，现在“想要”或者“支持”的东西自然是要严格要求的，那么排除A、B，最终选择D，不对自己恰在此时知道的东西过多苛责。
14. C考查名词，前文叙述我连规则都不知道，于是发奋练球的直接结果就是知道了规则并且已经知道了动作。
15. B 考查名词，与形容词competitive激动，此词组winning over(争取到)相关联，那么首先可排除D，竞争与价值不能匹配；而我的竞争绝不是一个“角色”那么简单吗，也不仅存在于“思想”，于是选择B
16.【答案】A
【解析】考查名词，破折号的作用是解释说明，那么知道尊重我的努力的朋友一定是看到我的成长的朋友，也即我在这个过程中认识的朋友，于是选择A。
B 考查形容词，个根据前文叙述，我是一个由没自信到拥有自信的人，那么我的自信是不断增加的，于是选择B
D 考查动词，根据后半句的修饰，我在教室的后面坐着是在“隐藏”自己
D 考查介词，破折号强调解释说明，后文说明我没有百分百把握自己知道正确答案，但是我
都会去举手，这表示一种将要做的动作，于是选择D。
20.【答案】C
【解析】考查形容词，even的出现提示让步关系可以知道，我举手甚至再不百分百确定答案的时候，于是选择C。
