Question

【题目】 My stutter（口吃） had always been much of a problem. I'd had so many specialists(专家) for my speech over the years. It hurt me until I met a new one in the hall.

"Hello! I'm Mrs. Claussen. I hear you're from Texas!"

"Ye-Ye-Ye-Yes m-m-m-m-m-m-aam I am..."My heart felt like it was pounding ( 剧 烈 跳 动)through my chest and my hands were dripping wet.

"Well,” she said with a _________smile. "I've always like Texas."

She turned out to be the best speech specialist I've ever had, not like ________who told me to clap my hands while speaking. She was different from others. She spent the first several weeks just talking to me — asking me all kinds of questions about myself, ______my feelings. And she listened . She then began to teach me about the speech. Not just about my speech, but about everybody's.

I __________in my old school and was a pretty good tenor（男高音）, but I learned that the new school's singing group was all _______. It was such bad news, for I thought that was the one thing I could really do well- and I could do it .However, Mrs. Claussen finally got me in the group. I felt like she really cared about me as a person, not just a ________________student.

During the next two years, my speech didn't get much better - except with her. When I was in college( 大学), things got worse. I once even wanted to know ____I would ever be able to communicate！ It was a very sad time, and I often felt alone. When I was feeling really sorry for myself, I remembered Mrs. Claussen had told me whether I could change my speech was all up to me. She had told me to fight for perfect speech, just _______speech. She was right about that. I finally improved my speech greatly.

Many years have passed, but I think of her from time to time, wondering (想知道)if she had as much _______on her other students as she had on me. I like to think that she did. Her name was Mrs. Claussen... and she __________me . I'll never forget her.

文章大意：短文主要叙述了作者因为口吃问题而感到痛苦，看了好多专家都没有好转，直到遇到了Mrs．Claussen专家。她的不同做法以及热心善良给了我深远的影响，并让我最终改善了自己的讲话问题。

shy害羞的；cold冷的；weak虚弱的；kind善良的。根据下文第五段She turned out to be the best speech specialist 她是我所见过的最好的语言专家可知，故答案为D。

【2】句意：她是我所见过的最好的语言专家，跟那些告诉我说话时拍拍手的人不一样。

this这个；that那个；those那些；it它。根据下句She was different from others.她跟别人不一样中others（表复数）可知，空处的词应为复数，做宾语从句的中心词，故答案为C。

【3】句意：她花费最初的几周时间跟我交流——问关于我的各种各样的问题，尤其是我的感觉。especially尤其；suddenly突然；quickly很快；nearly几乎。根据句意可知，故答案为A。

【4】句意：我在我的旧学校里唱歌，是一名很好的男高音。

【6】句意：我觉得她真地关心我作为一个人，而不仅仅是一个讲话的学生。

fear恐惧；study学习；dream梦想；speech演讲、讲话。根据文章开头My stutter（口吃）had always been much of a problem我的口吃一直是很大的问题，可知作者存在“口吃”问题和第五段第一句话中的speech specialist可知此处指的是我的语言问题，故选D。

【7】句意：我曾经甚至想知道我是否将能够交流。

if是否；that那；who水；which哪一个。根据句意可知，空处的词是引导宾语从句，意为“是否”，故答案为A。

【8】句意：她已经告诉我争取完美的讲话，只是为了更好的讲话。

more difficult更难得；worse更糟糕的；better更好的；more important更重要的。根据下文I finally improved my speech greatly.最后我大大提高了我的说话水平可知，故答案为C。

【9】句意：许多年过去了，但是我不时地想到她，想知道是否她对我跟对别的学生一样有很多的影响。

trouble麻烦；influence影响；dependence依赖；surprise惊奇。根据结合后文中这个老师对我所起的积极影响，可知是指老师对我的影响，故答案为B。
