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 四年前作者在公眾面前演講失敗了．但在校長的鼓勵下，一個月后重上演講臺并獲得了勝利．經(jīng)過自己的不斷努力多次實踐，作者最終成為演講能手．

解答 25．A 主旨大意題．通讀全文可知，四年前作者在公眾面前演講失敗了．但在校長的鼓勵下，一個月后重上演講臺并獲得了勝利．經(jīng)過自己的不斷努力多次實踐，作者最終成為演講能手．故A項符合原文．
26．D 推理判斷題．根據(jù)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，作者當時是害怕自己不能順利完成演講．故D項正確．
27．B 詞義猜測題．根據(jù)上文"The time from his call to the next morning seemed like years．"以及下文的描繪可知，自接到校長要他去演講的電話到第二天早上，作者覺得度日如年似的，整晚睡不著，頭腦里充滿著各種消極的想法．故B項切題．
28．C 推理判斷題．作者成為演講能手的經(jīng)歷以及文章最后一句話"I learned that everything is possible if we have the courage to take the first step．"告訴我們：要想成功，就要戰(zhàn)勝困難勇敢地跨出第一步，即"千里之行始于足下"．A項意為"沒有付出，除了貧窮一無所獲"；B項意為"知識使人謙虛，無知使人驕傲"；D項意為"需要是發(fā)明之母．"故C項正確．

點評 本文主要考查推理判斷題，要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基礎上，做出一定的推理判斷，從而得到文章的隱含意義和深層意義．推理判斷題所涉及的內(nèi)容可能是文中的某一句話，也可能是某幾句話，所以，推理題的答案只能是根據(jù)原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案：即對原文某一句話或某幾句話所作的同義改寫或綜合．推理判斷題的題干中通常含有infer，suggest，imply，conclude  indicate等標志性詞語． 這種題型主要包括細節(jié)判斷題、態(tài)度觀點推斷題、寫作意圖推斷題、文章出處判斷題和猜測想象推斷題
