  People who speak or perform before the public sometimes may suffer from “Stage Fright”.Stage fright makes a person nervous.In the worst case, it can make one's mind forget what one ought to say, or act.Actors, musicians, dancers, lawyers, even radio show hosts have suffered from “Stage Fright” at one time or another.

  Bonny Miles is an expert in helping people free themselves from “Stage Fright” at a medical center in New York City.She helps actors learn self-control.Miss Miles says some people have always been afraid to perform before audience.Others, she says, develop “Stage Fright” after a fearful experience.

  She offers them ways to control fear.One way is to smile before going onto the stage.Taking two deep breaths also helps.Deep breathing helps you get control of your body.

  Miss Miles persuades her patients to tell themselves that their speech or performance does not have to be perfect.It's all right to make a mistake.She tells them they should not be too cautious(紧张的)while they are performing.It is important that they should continue to perform while she is helping them.After each performance, they discuss what happened and find out what advice helped and what did not.As they perform more, they will fear less, by as much as 50%.Miss Miles says the aim is only to reduce “Stage Fright”, not to eliminate it completely.This is because a little “Stage Fright” makes a person more cautious, and improves their performance.

答案:1.A;2.C;3.D;4.A;
解析:

(1)

考查细节理解。结合第一段中间部分的“Stage fright makes a person nervous.In the worst case, it can make one’s mind forget what one ought to say, or act.”可判断A项正确。B项在文章中没有提到;文章最后一段是说有一点紧张可以让说话人谨慎,提高质量,与题干中suffer from不符;第三段是说登台前要微笑,而不是始终微笑,所以D项不正确。

(2)

考查猜测词义。根据本句前面的内容可知她认为只能减少恐惧,无法彻底“根除”。前两项不符合语境;D项与前面的reduce重复。

(3)

考查细节理解。前三项都是文章中提到的克服恐惧的有效措施,此项在文章中没有信息支持。

(4)

  [解析]考查细节理解。根据文章最后一段最后一句可知有一点恐惧是好事,由此也可以排除D项。B项与最后一段倒数第二句不符;最后一段的后半部分提到通过练习,恐惧程度可以降低50%,而不是1/3,所以C项错误。

  [文章大意]面对台下黑压压的观众,你是否会张口结舌,手足无措?其实登台的恐惧是很自然的事情,经过一定的训练,你就可以面不改色,心不跳,挥洒自如。
