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。

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。

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。

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。

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。

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。

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。
