Question

Last year, I did not like my English class. Every class was like a bad dream. The teacher spoke so quickly that I did not understand her most of the time. I was afraid __1._____ (ask) questions because of my poor _______2._______(pronounce). I just ___3.____(hide) behind my textbook and never said anything.

Then one day I watched an English movie ____4.____(call) Toy Story. I ____5.___(fall) in love with this __6._____(excite) and funny movie! So I began to watch other English movies, too. Although I could not understand everything the characters said, their body language and the expressions on their faces helped me to get the meaning. I also realized I could get the meaning by ____7._____(listen) for just the key words. My pronunciation ____8.__(improve) as well by listening to the conversations in English movies. I discovered that __9.__(listen) to something interesting in is the secret to language learning. I also learned useful sentences like “It’s a piece of cake” or “It serves you right.” I did not understand these sentences at first. But because I wanted to understand the story, I looked them up in a dictionary.

Now I really ___10.____(enjoy) my English class. I want to learn new words and more grammar so that I can have a better understanding of English movies.

【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文主要讲述了去年作者不喜欢英语课。每一节课就像一场噩梦，后来有一天，我看了一个英文电影叫玩具总动员，从此作者就喜欢上英语课了，而且兴趣是学习语言的秘诀。

1. afraid to do表示害怕做某事；句意：我害怕回答问题由于我的发音不好。结合语境及词汇，故填to ask。

2. Because of 表示由于发音原因，后加名词，代词，动名词，故填pronunciation。

3. 表示躲藏在哪；根据语境可知用一般过去式，故填hid

4. Toy Story过去分词做后置定语，结合语境及句子的结构，故填called。

5. in love with表示固定词组爱上某人和某物。句意：我爱上了这个激动和滑稽的电影。故填fell

6.

7.

8.

9.

10.
