Ⅰ.閱讀理解
(2024·河南八市重點高中質檢)
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, my whole body 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 great speakers faced the same things 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 me 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 on various topics like Self Motivation, Personality Development, Personal Excellence, Spoken English and Presentation Skills. This has become a passion for me. I have learned that everything is possible if we have the courage to take the first step.
語篇解讀：本文為記敘文。當你站在臺上，所有的目光都集中在你身上，你會感到心臟加速，喉嚨發干，開始說話時，大腦一片空白。害怕在公開場合演講是一種常見的心理。作者用自己的親身經歷告訴我們“萬事開頭難”，“千里之行，始于足下”。
1．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A．Practice Makes a Man a Better Speechmaker.
B．Public Speaking Makes a Man Embarrassed.
C．Principals Provide the Best Chances.
D．Spoken English Develops in Making Speeches.
答案：A 主旨大意題。由作者在第一次演講時的怯場到第二次的從容淡定，再到后來的應付自如，可知答案為A項。
2．The author had bad feelings before the speech because ________.
A．he disliked the idea of giving a lecture
B．he had got a high fever before that
C．he regretted accepting the invitation
D．he feared he couldn't perform it properly
答案：D 推理判斷題。根據第一段第四句中“The time from his call to the next morning seemed like years和I gathered some courage”可知作者不是不想去完成校長交給的任務，而是擔心自己做不好。故答案為D項。
3．What does the underlined part“ominous apprehensions”in the first paragraph mean?
A．Unlucky opportunities.B．Negative ideas.
C. Curious views. D. Happy comments.
答案：B 猜測詞義題。根據畫線部分后面的“One of them was to call the principal with regret and tell him that I could not come.”可知腦海里浮現的是許多消極的念頭，故答案為B項。
4．What can we conclude from the passage?
A．Nothing is to be got without pains but poverty.
B．Knowledge makes humble；ignorance makes proud.
C．A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
D．Necessity is the mother of invention.
答案：C 推理判斷題。由文章最后一句話可知答案為C項“千里之行，始于足下”。

語篇解讀：本篇文章是關于青少年要如何贏得別人尊敬和信任的幾點建議。首先要學會在家里幫忙做家務，即使從最簡單的洗碗疊被做起。其次，要學會負責任，哪怕是自己個人衛生也要做好。最后，要學會獨立解決問題。當把這些都做好的時候，人們對你的信任也就隨之而來了。
1．B 考查上下文的推理判斷能力。前句中出現的manners和traits以及后句的句式和F選項的句式以及句中的these manners和traits恰好呼應，語義上也能起到承上啟下的作用，所以判斷B選項正確。
2．D 考查上下文的推理判斷能力。前句講你應該學會自己收拾衛生，而D選項This includes. But is not limited to, your dishes and your room. “這包括在內，但不能局限在收拾自己碗筷和房間上”恰好能承接上文，故D選項正確。
3．C 考查上下文的推理判斷能力。本段內容是建議青少年要學會做家務活來幫助家人。所以所填句子應該和做家務幫忙有關，而且從段落安排上看，最后一句話應該起到總結概括作用，由此判斷C選項正確。句意：“如果你幫忙做家務，那么平時做這種家務的人會很感激。”
4．A 考查上下文的推理判斷能力。由后句“Whether they are basic things，”可以推斷前句應該出現they所替代的名詞，而根據下文舉的例子“like brushing your teeth or doing your homework”等可知A選項符合語境，能引領下文。句意：每個人都有某些責任。故A為正確選項。
5．F 考查上下文的推理判斷能力。在本段中作者建議人們不要輕易向人求助，要在自己努力而未果的情況下去找人幫忙，縱觀選項，只有F選項符合語境，能承接上文。
