I will never forget that at the age of nine I was asked to deliver a speech entitled A Challenge in My Life before the whole class!
You can imagine how【1】(terrible)shy I was the moment I thought of that—with so many eyes【2】(fix) upon me. I have no choice but【3】(prepare) for it, though. First, 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 【6】 (listen) were waiting patiently without any signs of rushing me. Gradually I found myself back. After 【7】 seemed to be a hundred years, I found my audience applauding匢 made it! From then on, my fear of talking before 【8】 big audience disappeared. Actually with my confidence 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】 you will be able to achieve your goals.
【答案】

【7】what
【8】a
【9】to
【10】and
【解析】
本文通过作者的经历告诉我们了一个道理:遇到困难时,要努力克服,这样我们就能达到自己的目标。
【1】考查词形变化。本空需要一个副词去修饰后面的形容词shy,故答案为terribly。
【2】考查词形变化。fix one's eyes on sth./sb.是固定表达,意思是“把眼光放在某人或某物上”。fix和eyes是动宾关系,所以本空用过去分词表被动。故答案为fixed。句意:你可以想象那么多双眼睛盯着我,我是多么地害羞。
【3】考查固定结构。but前面含有实意动词do,则其后的动词不定式没有to,故填prepare。
【4】考查词形变化。此处是作者回忆过去的事情,所以用过去时。故答案为lay。最困难的部分在于作口头介绍因为不准照着稿子去念。
【5】考查连词。句意:真正考验我的时刻到了当我站在讲台上,双腿颤抖,头脑空白。本空需要一个连词连接两个简单句,而且表示“当……的时候”。故答案为when/as 。
【6】考查名词复数。句意:我的听众耐心地等待,没有任何催促我的迹象。根据句意可知,此处用名词复数,故填listeners。
【7】考查介词的宾语从句。句意:似乎过了很长时间以后,我发现观众们为我进行鼓掌——我成功啦!介词after之后是一个介词的宾语从句,从句没有引导词,没有主语,所填词应该起双重作用,根据句意,故填what。
【8】考查不定冠词。句意:我害怕在一大群观众面前讲话的缺点消失了。a big audience“一大群观众”,故填a。
【9】考查固定词组。句意:通向成功的路。on one's way to...“在去……的路上”。故填to。
【10】考查连词。祈使句+and/or+一般将来时的句子是固定句式。前面的表示条件,后面表示结果。句意:如果克服了恐惧,那么我们就能达到自己的目标。故答案为and。
㈠⒈ 当主句前面存在do动词的任何形式(did. does. will do. have done, had done.),介词but 后就省去to。例如:
I can't do anything but sleep.
I did nothing but wait.
⒉而如果前面是其他动词,没有do动词的任何形式,就要加to了。例如:
I had no choice but to sleep.
本题第3小题就是but的这一用法。
㈡⒈“祈使句/名词词组+and +简单句(表示将来)”,and后简单句表示好的结果。
Hurry up, and you will catch the bus.
A little more effort,and you'll succeed.
⒉“祈使句/名词词组+or+简单句(表示将来)”,or后简单句表不理想的结果。
Study hard, or you will fail to pass the exam.
本题第10小题就是考查这种用法。
