　　Ⅰ.阅读理解

　　(2016·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.

　　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

　　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

　　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.

　　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.

　　【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．解析：选A。主旨大意题。由作者在第一次演讲时的怯场到第二次的从容淡定，再到后来的应付自如，可知答案为A项。

　　2．解析：选D。推理判断题。根据第一段中“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．解析：选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．解析：选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)。
