I        him in disbelief. "Why," I started, anger flooding me, "of course I        ! "Well, then," he said, "you've got to prove it by getting up and reciting it      memory."
By then the other students had settled at their desks. With knees shaking, I walked up. For a moment I stood       . Then I began, and kept going. I recited my poem all the way through!
Afterwards, Professor Crouch congratulated me, and      me to read other writers' poetry publicly.
Before long I discovered I did have a(n)         and found my fellow students actually looked forward to hearing me recite.

解析试题分析:作者小时侯口吃的厉害,一次把自己写的诗交给老师后,老师却让他当众背诵出来,以此证明他不是抄袭的。在愤怒中,作者流利地把自己的诗背了出来,从此作者发现自己的嗓音很受同学们欢迎,由此找到了自信,也改变了自己口吃的毛病。
【小题1】D动词辨析。A. 毁灭;B. 转身;C.帮助;D.改变。由上下文可知作者小时候口吃的厉害,而现在却是因自己的嗓音而出名,由此判断是教授改变了他的人生,故D选项正确。
【小题2】D动词短语辨析。A.回答;B嘲笑;C.指向;D.瞪着。从语境可知作者不相信老师这样说,再根据下文"Why," I started,判断此处作者开始没有回应老师的话,而是瞪着老师,所以D选项正确。
【小题3】B动词辨析。A.能够;B. 做;C. 应该;D.有。根据“I don't think you wrote this.”判断此处用did代替动词wrote,所以答案选B。
【小题4】C介词辨析。A. 具有;B.……的C. 来自;D.在……里面。固定短语 recite sth from memory“背诵”,答案选C。句意:你必须站起来背诵自己的诗,以此证明你不是抄袭的。
【小题5】D形容词辨析。A. 无变化的;B. 没希望的;C. 无用的;D. 气喘吁吁的。根据上文anger flooding me 和With knees shaking可知作者当时感到非常气愤,由情理判断D选项正确。
【小题6】C动词辨析。A. 让;B. 让,制作;C.鼓励;D. 支持。根据语境可知老师鼓励作者去朗读别人的诗歌,而且从词语搭配上encourage sb to do sth “鼓励某人做某事”,而let/ make sb do sth,所以答案选C。
【小题7】A名词辨析。A嗓音;B. 声音;C出现;D.兴趣。由文章开头Today I’m known for my voice和文章末句students actually looked forward to hearing me recite.可知此处指的是自己的嗓音,所以答案选A。

When I was 8, a gentleman came to my orphanage(孤儿院)and taught us how to do woodworking projects. I remember my first project—a small table. I was so       of it that I looked upon it       I had created a wonder. It was absolutely beautiful and it had taken me six weeks to         it. I could       wait to give it to Mother Winters as a gift. She was the head mistress of our orphanage, who was always       with us.
As the tables were not       from the clear coating, the man told us to wait a few days before taking them to our dormitories.       I was just so excited and happy that I couldn’t wait. I dashed out like a flash carrying my table, smiling from ear to ear.
When I reached the dormitory I placed the little table beside my bed. I was       it when Mother Winters entered. She walked over to the table. Running her hand       it, she noticed it was still wet.
“Were you       to bring this home?” she asked. “No, ma’am,” I       with my head down.
She ordered me to throw the table out and so I did. After she left, I immediately opened the door to get it back. There was       stuck all over. I brushed and cried, but it would not come off. I hid the table in my closet and never       it. A year later while cleaning up, I gave the table to Mother Henderson, my houseparent (宿管员), thinking that she would       it away.
Thirty years later at a reunion, I       that Mother Henderson was living nearby, so I drove up to see her. We talked cheerfully for long. As I was about to leave, she asked me to come down to her       to get something important. I followed her       into a dark corner. She picked something up.       she turned around, I could see that she was holding a little table. Mother Henderson kept the little table that I had given up for lost so long ago.
Today, I look at that table with bittersweet memories but full of       to Mother Henderson, who kept it for a young orphan who tried very hard to      .

A lady and her husband stepped off the train in Boston. They walked without an appointment (预约) into the outer        of Harvard’s president. But they were       by his secretary and kept waiting. For hours, the secretary took no notice of them,        that the couple would finally become       and go away. But they didn’t. The secretary finally decided to disturb the president, though        .
A few minutes later, the president walked towards the couple with a       face. The lady told him, “We had a son that        Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard. He was        here. But about a year ago, he was accidentally killed. My husband and I would like to        a memorial (纪念物) to him, somewhere on campus.”
The president wasn’t        . Instead, he was shocked. “Madam,” he said, “we can’t put up a statue for every person who studied at Harvard and died. If we did, this       would look like a cemetery (墓地).” “Oh, no,” the lady       quickly, “we don’t want to put up a statue. We would like to give a        to Harvard.” The president rolled his eyes and         at the couple and then exclaimed(呼喊), “A building! Do you have any        how much a building costs? We have spent over $ 7,500,000 on the campus building at Harvard.” For a moment the lady was silent. The president was    , because he could get rid of them now. Then the lady turned to her husband and said quietly. “Is that all it costs to start a       ? Why don’t we just start our own?” Her husband nodded. Since their offer was     , Mr and Mrs Stanford traveled to California      they founded the University that bears their       , a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer cared about.

I had a very special teacher in high school many years ago and suddenly her husband died of a heart attack. One day, about a week after her husband’s      , the teacher said, “Before class is over, I would like to share with all of you a (n)        in life that is unrelated to this class, but I feel it is very       .”
“Each of us is put here on        to learn, share, love and appreciate. None of us knows when this fantastic        will end. It can be        at any moment. Perhaps we must make the most out of every single       .” Her eyes beginning to       , she went on, “So I would like you all to make me a(n)       . From now on, on your way, find something beautiful to       . It doesn’t have to be something you see—it could be a sweet smell or it could be the sound of the      leaves. Please look for these things, and cherish (珍视) them.”
The class was completely quiet. We all        our books and got out of the classroom       . That afternoon, I noticed more things on my way home from        than I had that whole term. Every once in a while, I think of that teacher and        what she had said, and I try to appreciate all of those things that        we all ignore.
Take notice of something special you see on your lunch hour today.     on the beach at sunset. Stop off on the way home tonight to        an ice cream. For as we get       , it is not the things we did that we often feel       , but the things we didn’t do.
