Just imagine how_41_(terrible) shy I was the moment I thought of that with so many eyes fixed upon me. I had only one_42_ (choose) , though. First I was to

10、 draft the speech and that was just a piece of cake for me, because I was a good writer something to pride myself on. But the hard part _43_(lie) in my oral presentation; to read from _44_ paper was not allowed ; I had to give the speech _45_ my memory and in front of such a big audience !A real tri

11、al began when I stood on the platform with my legs_46_(tremble) and my mind blank. How much time had passed by , I didnt know . My listeners were still waiting patiently and without any signs of rushing me. Gradually I found _47_ back, giving out my speech with difficulty. Finally I finished. After

12、it seemed to be a hundred years, I found my audience applauding. I made_48_! From then on, my fear of talking before an audience disappeared . Actually with my confidence building_49_, I now turn out to be a great speaker . Looking back, I know the greatest difficulty on our way to success is our fe

13、ar. Overcome it,_50_we will be able to achieve our goals .參考答案：41. terribly 42. choice 43. lay 44. the 45. from 46. trembling 47. myself 48. it 49. up 50. and本文為故事類文章。作者曾要求在全班面前發(fā)表演講而緊張害怕的說不出來話，觀眾卻給予耐心的等待與鼓勵，讓作者完成了演講，從而讓作者找回了自信。這讓作者認識到通往成功的路上最大的困難是我們的恐懼。克服它，我們就能實現(xiàn)我們的目標。41. terribly 考查副詞。分析句子Just imag

14、ine how_1_(terrible) shy I was the moment可知，本句中的terrible在句子中作狀語修飾形容詞shy，修飾形容詞要用副詞，故用其副詞形式terribly。想象一下有這么多眼睛盯著我時我是多么害羞。故填terribly.42. choice考查名詞。句意：我只有一個選擇。分析句子I had only one_2_ (choose).可知，本句中的choose作動詞had的賓語，因此要用名詞形式，故填choice.43. lay考查謂語動詞。句意：最難的部分是我口頭演講。分析句子But the hard part _3_(lie) in my oral p

15、resentation;可知，本句中的lie，在句中作謂語。本文主要講述過去的事，用一般過去時，所以用lie的過去時lay.44. the考查冠詞。分析句子可知，不允許照著寫的稿紙讀。上文提到要先寫稿子，然后再把它演講出來。所以本題中的紙是特指我寫的稿子，故要用限定詞the.45. from考查介詞。我不得不憑著記憶在那么多的觀眾面前把它演講出來。本句的意思就是把演講的內(nèi)容從（from）記憶里拿出來，即憑著記憶。故選from。46. trembling考查賓被。分析句子A real trial began when I stood on the platform with my legs_6_

16、 (tremble) and my mind blank.可知，本句是說，當我站在講臺上時，我的腿顫抖，腦子里一片空白。tremble（vi）發(fā)抖，with+賓語+賓被。其中l(wèi)eg與tremble二者是主動關(guān)系，故用動詞的ing形式作賓語來修飾賓語legs。故填trembling47. myself考查反身代詞。根據(jù)前面由于緊張害怕而腿抖腦子一片空白，所以慢慢地恢復(fù)意識（即找回我自己）。所以這兒要用myself。48. it考查固定搭配。句意：我做到了。make it 為固定搭配，意為“達到預(yù)定目標，獲得成功，做到”。故選it.49. up考查固定搭配。build up為固定搭配，意為“樹立，

17、建立”，build up confidence.意為“樹立自信心”。從那時起，我不再害怕在觀眾面前說話。故填up.50. and考查固定句式。句意：克服它，我們就能實現(xiàn)我們的目標。祈使句+and+陳述句，祈使句，+ and + 陳述句: 在這里祈使句相當于if 引導(dǎo)的條件狀語從句。Overcome it,and we will be able to achieve our goals=if we overcome it ,we will be able to achieve our goals【點睛】祈使句，+ and/or + 陳述句祈使句，+ and + 陳述句: 在這里祈使句相當于if

18、引導(dǎo)的條件狀語從句Give me one more hour, and Ill get the work finished.再給我一分鐘，我就會把工作做完。= If you give me one more hour, Ill get the work finished.（if條件句可以用簡短的形式表示，即省略動詞。如One more hour, and Ill get the work finished.（名詞短語）祈使句，+ or + 陳述句，相當于if,，not或if not,Take the chance, or you will regret it. 抓住機會吧， 否則你會后悔的。

19、=If you take the chance, you will not regret it.如果你抓住機會，你就不會后悔= If you dont take the chance, you will regret it如果不抓住機會，你就會后悔。Watch your step, or else you might fall into the water留神腳下， 不然你會掉進水里的。三、 閱讀理解17.

He had set at last upon the shores of “the Republic of my imagination.”可知，1842年，狄更斯初到波士頓港時的無限喜悅之情，讀來仿佛埃比尼澤斯克魯奇在圣誕節(jié)早上醒來時的心情一般。傳記作者彼得阿克羅伊德寫道，他飛上特里蒙特飯店的臺階，跳進大堂，向好奇的人們歡快地招呼道，“我們見面啦！” 在那個繁星點點的夜半，他身著破舊的毛皮大衣，跑到街上，蹦蹦跳跳越過凍得硬邦邦的雪，叫嚷著店鋪招牌的名字，不時拉一拉街邊的門鈴把手他笑得很開心人們以為）他見到老南教堂時，甚至滿是驚奇、喜悅地大喊起來。他終于來到“想象中的共和國”
