Answer 1

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。
