【题目】阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
I can well remember that I was once asked to deliver a speech titled “A Real Test in My Life” before the whole class at the age of 9! You can imagine how 【1】 (terrible) shy I was with so many eyes 【2】 (fix) upon me. I had no 【3】 (choose) but to prepare for it, though. First of all, I was to draft the speech, which was just a piece of cake for me, a good writer. But the hardest part 【4】 (lie) in my oral presentation from my memory— for to read from the paper was not allowed. The real moment began 【5】 I stood on the platform with my legs trembling and my mind blank. But my listeners were waiting patiently without any signs of rushing me. Otherwise, I 【6】 (run) away from them. Gradually I found myself back, delivering my speech with difficulty. After what seemed to be a hundred years, I found my audience applauding— I made 【7】 ! From then on, my fear of talking before an audience disappeared. Actually with my 【8】 (confident) building up, I now turn out to be a great speaker. Looking back, I know the greatest difficulty on our way 【9】 success is our fear. Overcome it 【10】 we will be able to achieve our goals.
【答案】
【1】terribly
【2】fixed
【3】choice
【4】lay
【5】when
【6】would have run
【7】it
【8】confidence
【9】to
【10】and
【解析】
试题分析: 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者以前害怕在公众面前讲话,但后来克服了恐惧心理,最终随着自信的增长,成了一名伟大的演说家。
【1】terribly考查副词。分析句子结构可知,该句中副词修饰形容词 shy,故填 terribly。
【2】fixed考查非谓语动词。该句中 with 复合结构中的so many eyes与fix之间为被动关系,故用过去分词形式。因此填 fixed。 短语 fix one’ s eyes on 把目光集中在……。
【3】choice 考查名词。no 后接名词,且该句式为 have no choice but to do sth.意为“除了做某事外,别无选择” 。故填 choice。
【4】lay考查动词时态。根据本文的时间状语 at the age of 9可知,本句应为一般过去时态,且短语lie in意为“ 在
于”,lie 当“存在,位于”讲时,其过去式为 lay,过去分词为 lain。 故该空填 lay。 误解分析:lay 当动词原形时,其意为 “下蛋,产卵” ,其过去式和过去分词都为 laid;lie当“说谎”讲,此时其过去式和过去分词都为 lied。
【5】when 考查关系副词。分析句子结构可知,该句为间隔式定语从句,其先行词为 The real moment,且定语从句中有主语和宾语,故用 when 来引导该定语从句。
【6】would have run 根据Otherwise要不然的话,可知后面用虚拟语气,“要不然的话我找就跑走了”,故填would have run。
【7】it 考查代词。根据上文的“I found my audience applauding”可知,“我”成功了。故填 it。短语 make it意为“成功”。
【8】confidence 句意:随着我信心的增强。根据句意可知用名词形式,故填confidence。
考查动词时态。 根据上文的“ I made it!”以及时间状语“From then on”可知,从那时起,作者在许多人前讲话的恐惧感消失了。故填 disappeared。
【9】to 考查介词。根据语境可知,此处表示“通往成功的最大的困难是我们的恐惧” ,故用to或towards。
【10】and 考查连词。该句考查固定句型:祈使句+and+陈述句。故该空填 and。
【知识拓展】
虚拟的条件有时通过某些介词短语来表达.
如:We didn’t know you were in trouble at that time,otherwise we would have given you a hand.
我们当时不知道你遇到了困难,要不然我们会帮助你的.
除了otherwise(否则)以外,能够表示虚拟条件的词和短语还包括:but for(要不是)、without(没有)or(不然)等等. He reminded of what I otherwise would have forgotten.
【知识归纳】
lie的各种形式 用法
1.现在式 过去式 过去分词 现在分词 lie lay lain lying 躺 / 位于… / 在于… ;lay laid laid laying 放 / 下蛋 ;lie lied lied lying 说谎 lie (n.)谎言 (tell a lie说谎) 。
2.巧记lie和lay躺 lie,lay,lain,lie in bed again; 撒谎 lie,lied,lied,don't be a liar; 产蛋 lay,laid,laid,a hen laid an egg; 放置 A boy picked it up,and laid it in the bag. 。

【题目】The Winner’s Guide to Success
Do you know what makes people successful? To find out the answers, an American scholar recently visited some of the most successful people in America. 【1】
Be responsible for yourself.
Sometimes you may want to blame others for your failure to get ahead. In fact, when you say someone or something outside of yourself is stopping you from making success, you are giving away your own power. _【2】
Write a plan.
It is very difficult trying to get what you want without a good plan. It is just like trying to drive through strange roads to a city far away. _【3】 Without this “map”, you may waste your time, money and also your energy; while with the “map” you’ll enjoy the “trip” and get what you want in the shortest possible time.
_【4】
Nothing great is easy to get. So you must be ready to work hard — even harder than you have ever done. If you are not willing to pay the price, you won’t get anything valuable.
Never give up.
__【5】 When you are doing something, you must tell yourself again and again: Giving up is worse than failure because failure can be the mother of success, but giving up means the death of hope.
A. A good plan is like a map to you.
B. It seems to us that everyone knows this. But it is easier said than done.
C. Some people achieve success much later in life because they didn’t work harder earlier.
D. You are saying you have more control over my life than I do.
E. Someone else’s opinion of you doesn’t have to become your reality.
F. Be willing to pay the price.
G. Here are some keys to success that they give.

【题目】Albert was an ordinary worker in an oil company in America. His workmates gave a nickname(绰号) “Four dollars a bucket (桶)” to him, for he was always used to leaving an advertisement of his company “Four dollars a bucket of oil” below his name whenever and wherever he wrote down his name.

“Oh! What a fantastic man!” Rockefeller said excitedly when hearing Albert’s words. “Young man, work harder! You must succeed in the future! I believe in you!”
Five years later, Albert became the second board chairman after Rockefeller.

【题目】Some people are lucky enough to be born with a good sense of direction and even if they have only visited a place once, they will be able to find it again years later.
I am one of those unfortunate people who have poor sense of direction and I may have visited a place time after time but I still get lost on my way there. When I was young I was so shy that I never dared ask complete strangers the way and so I used to wander round in circles and hope that by some chance I would get to the spot I was heading for.
I am no longer too shy to ask people for direction, but I often receive replies that puzzle me. Often people do not like to admit that they didn’t know their hometown and will insist on telling you the way, even if they do not know it; others, who are anxious to prove that they know their hometown very well, will give you a long list of directions which you can not possibly hope to remember, and still others do not seem to be able to tell between their left and their right and you find in the end that you are going in the opposite direction to that in which you should be going.
If anyone ever asks me the way to somewhere, I always tell them I am a stranger to the town in order to avoid giving them wrong direction but even this can have embarrassing results.
Once I was on my way to work when I was stopped by a man who asked me if I would direct him the way to the Sunlight Building. I gave my usual reply, but I had not walked on a few steps when I realized that he had asked for directions to my office building. However, at this point, I decide it was too late to turn back and search for him out of the crowd behind me as I was going to meet with someone at the office and I did not want to keep him waiting.
Imagine my embarrassment when my secretary showed in the very man who had asked for directions of my office and his astonishment when he recognized me as the person he had asked.
【1】What is the writer going to do when someone asks him for direction?
A. He will direct the right way to the person willingly.
B. He will reply to it by the means of being a stranger to the town.
C. He will give the very person long list of direction.
D. He is going to show the man an opposite direction.
【2】Why did the writer consider himself to be an unlucky dog?
A. Because of his poor sense of direction.
B. Because he always forget the way to home.
C. Because he did not have any friend.
D. Because he used to be shy and dared not ask others the way.
【3】How did the visitor feel when he was showed into the very room?
A. He felt strange.B. He felt embarrassed.
C. He felt very sad.D. He felt astonished.

【题目】Americans think a great deal of about time. From childhood they learn to value time. As children, they were taught to be on time to go to school, to do work and to do everything. When they are having good time, they say that time flies. When a person is dying, they say he is living on borrowing time.
Time is money, is knowledge, and is everything in America. A working American must work hard for 8 hours a day and 40 hours a week, that is the working time. On his spare time he also works for less money. Even Saturdays and Sundays are filled of activities. In the street you can hardly see a man who walk slowly. They walk very fast. In fact, they are running.

【题目】We have a strange obsession with the concept of perfection. Driven by our culture, we struggle for an unattainable ideal. If I had the perfect parents, perfect grades, perfect ..., then I would be happy. We seek what we can’t have without remembering that we don’t actually need to be perfect. Imperfection allows us to be humankind.
Parents, teachers and other high-achieving peers will have us believe that we must be perfect if we wish to remain competitive. However, what job or school requires you to develop a cure for some of cancer by the age of 18? Although those grades will be admirable achievements, are they worth losing sleep? We feel that we need the perfect grades to get into the perfect college that will provide us with the education necessary for getting the perfect job. Making use of our thirst for perfection, the whole college and career industries have grown up making money by helping us reach our goals.
In fact, you need to focus more on your passions. Don’t worry about anything secondary to your passions. You won’t become an expert in anything if you spend your time trying to succeed in everything you do. You’ll only become an expert when you devote your time to that one project that truly brings you joy.
As members of this society, we have a responsibility to be excellent in what we do, not perfect. Although perfection can be a goal, it should not be the only goal. We only have 24 hours in a day and seven days in a week. Thus, we need to prioritize what we what to do and cut out the activities we cannot do.
With everything, though, make sure you are doing enough. Pursuing your passions is not an enough reason to completely give up on everything else. Try as hard as you can and let your future worry about itself. Worry about your task at hand and you will be successful in achieving your dreams. Most of all, remember that you are going to be okay.
【1】According to paragraph 1, we know ________.
A. most people don’t want to be perfect
B. imperfect people aren’t happy at all
C. it’s not necessary to be too perfect
D. perfect grades result from remembering facts
【2】We can infer from the passage that ________.
A. a perfect grade is worth losing sleep
B. the whole college and career industries are perfect
C. some schools ask students to invent some medicine
D. someone is profiting from our search for perfection
【3】What might be the best title of the passage?
A. How to be perfect
B. Being enough is enough
C. Finding your own passions
D. Giving up your secondary goals
