Question

9．Around four years ago，I received a call from the principal of our school as to the"Parents View"talk the next morning．He asked me to speak to the group．After the call，I became feverish and panicky．The time from his call to the next morning seemed like years．The whole night，I could not sleep with many ominous apprehensions in mind．One of them was to call the principal with regret and tell him that I could not come．Finally，I gathered some courage．I thought，"If I miss this opportunity，surely the school will never invite me again to any of their programs．"
I reached the school in time．Before my turn came，my whole body was trembling．When my turn came and I started speaking，my heartbeat increased and my mouth went dry．I wasn't even able to read the written speech properly．I was not aware of where I was standing and what I was reading．That was the day when I realized my biggest weakness，Public Speaking．
After my speech，I met with the principal and explained what happened to me．He told me that this happens to everyone．Even the great speakers faced the same thing when they started．He suggested that I come again next time．
Around one month later，I was invited to refer to a topic on Motivation．This time I was feeling comfortable．My speech was appreciated by the principal as well as the teachers，because I was able to get my idea across to them．They encouraged and praised my efforts．
After delivering it successfully，I became more confident．I said to myself，"If I can speak in front of such a learned audience，like the principal who educates others，I can now speak in front of others too．"
I started delivering lectures in my plant，on various topics like Self-motivation，Personality Development，Personal Excellence，Spoken English and Presentation Skills．This has become a passion for me．I learned that everything is possible if we have the courage to take the first step．

Answer 1

分析 四年前作者在公众面前演讲失败了．但在校长的鼓励下，一个月后重上演讲台并获得了胜利．经过自己的不断努力多次实践，作者最终成为演讲能手．

解答 25．A 主旨大意题．通读全文可知，四年前作者在公众面前演讲失败了．但在校长的鼓励下，一个月后重上演讲台并获得了胜利．经过自己的不断努力多次实践，作者最终成为演讲能手．故A项符合原文．
26．D 推理判断题．根据第一段中的"The time from his call to the next morning seemed like years．The whole night，I could not sleep with many ominous apprehensions in mind"以及"Finally，I gathered some courage"可知，作者当时是害怕自己不能顺利完成演讲．故D项正确．
27．B 词义猜测题．根据上文"The time from his call to the next morning seemed like years．"以及下文的描绘可知，自接到校长要他去演讲的电话到第二天早上，作者觉得度日如年似的，整晚睡不着，头脑里充满着各种消极的想法．故B项切题．
28．C 推理判断题．作者成为演讲能手的经历以及文章最后一句话"I learned that everything is possible if we have the courage to take the first step．"告诉我们：要想成功，就要战胜困难勇敢地跨出第一步，即"千里之行始于足下"．A项意为"没有付出，除了贫穷一无所获"；B项意为"知识使人谦虚，无知使人骄傲"；D项意为"需要是发明之母．"故C项正确．
