　　Ⅰ.阅读理解

　　(2015·河南八市重点高中质检)

　　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.

　　语篇解读：本文为记叙文。当你站在台上，所有的目光都集中在你身上，你会感到心脏加速，喉咙发干，开始说话时，大脑一片空白。害怕在公开场合演讲是一种常见的心理。作者用自己的亲身经历告诉我们“万事开头难”，“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.

　　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　推理判断题。根据第一段第四句中“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长交给的任务，而是担心自己做不好。故答案为D项。

　　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　猜测词义题。根据画线部分后面的“One of them was to call the principal with regret and tell him that I could not come.”可知脑海里浮现的是许多消极的念头，故答案为B项。

　　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　推理判断题。由文章最后一句话可知答案为C项“千里之行，始于足下”。

　　语篇解读：本篇文章是关于青少年要如何赢得别人尊敬和信任的几点建议。首先要学会在家里帮忙做家务，即使从最简单的洗碗叠被做起。其次，要学会负责任，哪怕是自己个人卫生也要做好。最后，要学会独立解决问题。当把这些都做好的时候，人们对你的信任也就随之而来了。

　　1．B　考查上下文的推理判断能力。前句中出现的manners和traits以及后句的句式和F选项的句式以及句中的these manners和traits恰好呼应，语义上也能起到承上启下的作用，所以判断B选项正确。

　　2．D　考查上下文的推理判断能力。前句讲你应该学会自己收拾卫生，而D选项This includes. But is not limited to, your dishes and your room. “这包括在内，但不能局限在收拾自己碗筷和房间上”恰好能承接上文，故D选项正确。

　　3．C　考查上下文的推理判断能力。本段内容是建议青少年要学会做家务活来帮助家人。所以所填句子应该和做家务帮忙有关，而且从段落安排上看，最后一句话应该起到总结概括作用，由此判断C选项正确。句意：“如果你帮忙做家务，那么平时做这种家务的人会很感激。”

　　4．A　考查上下文的推理判断能力。由后句“Whether they are basic things，”可以推断前句应该出现they所替代的名词，而根据下文举的例子“like brushing your teeth or doing your homework”等可知A选项符合语境，能引领下文。句意：每个人都有某些责任。故A为正确选项。

　　5．F　考查上下文的推理判断能力。在本段中作者建议人们不要轻易向人求助，要在自己努力而未果的情况下去找人帮忙，纵观选项，只有F选项符合语境，能承接上文。

　　When she fell and broke her hip in her eighties, my Dad __3__ (force) to admit that he could no longer take care of her at home. It was with a heavy heart __4__ Dad moved Grandmother into a nursing home.

　　Our whole family gathered together for her 90th birthday in the nursing home dining room. It was a wonderful celebration of her life and the love we all had __5__ her.

　　Shortly after that birthday, however, life gave her the __6__(tough) challenge of all as age and illness started to take her mind from her too. The Dementia (痴呆) grew worse and worse. At times when I visited her she didn't know __7__ I was. During one of these visits I was holding her hand while she slept. When she awoke, her eyes stared at me and I could tell she didn't recognize __8__. She looked down at my hand __9__(hold) hers and instead of pulling hers away, she smiled at me. Then she closed her eyes and went __10__(peace) back to sleep. I could see then that even though her mind didn't remember me, her spirit still remembered love.

　　1．______　2.______　3.______　4.______　5.______

　　6．______　7.______　8.______　9.______　10.______

　　语篇解读：作者的奶奶乐观、勤劳且不惧困难。然而80多岁时她不小心摔倒后摔断了髋骨，更糟的是她因老年痴呆症连作者都认不出来了。

　　1．as　考查介词。as a boy＝when l was a boy。

　　2．what　考查宾语从句。连接代词what引导宾语从句并在从句中作threw的宾语。

　　3．was forced　考查被动语态。此处表示“父亲被迫承认不能再在家照顾奶奶了”，应用被动语态。

　　4．that　考查强调句型，即“It is/was＋被强调部分＋that＋其他成分”。本句被强调的是状语with a heavy heart。

　　5．for　考查介词。本句中，定语从句we all had __5__ her用来修饰先行词love，将这个定语从句还原为简单句，则为：we all had love __5__ her。表示“爱某人”，应用have love for sb.，所以填介词for。

　　6．toughest　考查形容词的比较等级。根据空格前的定冠词及of all，可知用形容词最高级。

　　7．who　考查宾语从句。此处表示“奶奶不知道我是谁”，用who引导宾语从句。

　　8．me　考查人称代词。指代作者自己并作宾语，故用人称代词I的宾格。

　　9．holding　考查非谓语动词。现在分词作后置定语。my hand holding＝my hand which was holding。

　　10．peacefully　考查副词构词法。修饰谓语动词went，应用副词作状语，所以要在名词peace后加后缀­ful构成形容词peaceful，再加后缀­ly构成副词peacefully。
