Question

閱讀下面短文，從短文后所給各題的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。

I have a friend who had a stammer (口吃) in his childhood, but he dreamed of becoming a missionary(傳教士). When he told his own desire to his friends and relatives, some of them laughed at him, and some even held down his enthusiasm      .

"I must change it." said the boy angrily, “I believe I can speak very    , I will do!"

When it was possible, he would spend an hour      to chickens. He viewed the chickens as living persons,     himself to be the person in the speech.

"In the beginning, the chickens looked so        , then they watched me curiously, putting down the food in the mouths and listening to my words. It seemed as if they had been        by my powerful and effective language. Sometimes they seemed to be listening to me       . Gradually, the effect of this practice became more and more    and I had a better understanding of the exact      of my stammer, so I found the ability to speak more."

"You may not know that my father was always tyrannical(專橫的). He        believed in the old saying: 'Young man should be more knowledgeable, but should not      much.' During the whole childhood,    I spoke or commented, he criticized me seriously, which     my shy personality. I used to worry about being   at, so I became a stammerer. From then on, I kept      in front of everyone because they didn't want to see my embarrassment. But later I found myself talking in front of chickens, stammers disappeared      , therefore I regained my   ."

Now, the previous boy is the best at speaking and one of the most    missionaries. You can hardly imagine he used to have a serious language     . So when you come across disadvantages, you should believe you can     them by yourself.

【解析】

試題分析：

一個從小口吃的男孩，因為有夢、想成為最好的傳教士，刻苦練習，最終戰(zhàn)勝了口吃并成為成功的傳教士。

1.A. sincerely：真誠地； B. impolitely：無禮地、粗魯?shù)兀?C. strangely：奇怪地；D. privately：私下地、背地里。題意：當男孩向親朋敘說自己的愿望時，有些人粗魯?shù)卮驌羲�的熱情。故B項正確。

2.A. frequently：經(jīng)常地、頻繁地；B. fluently：流利地；C. obviously：明顯地；D. completely：完全地、徹底地。題意：男孩相信自己能克服口吃的毛病，把話說流利。故B項正確。

3.A. contribute to：為……做貢獻、捐贈；B. see to：照看、照管； C. turn to：轉(zhuǎn)向（某人尋求幫助） D. speak to：對著……說話。題意：為練習說話、克服口吃，男孩一有機會就會對著雞群說話。故D項正確。

4.A. imagine：想象；B. consider：認為、將……看做……；C. declare：宣布、宣稱；D. find：發(fā)現(xiàn)。題意：男孩將雞群看成活人，而將自己想象成演講人。consider指“觀點、看法”，涉及對某人或某事的評價。與題意不合。故A項正確。

5.A. satisfied：滿意的；B. pleased：高興的；C. frightened；害怕的；D. surprised：驚訝的。題意：男孩剛開始對著雞群說話時，雞仔們自然的反應就是“害怕”。后來被逐漸吸引。“驚訝”、“滿意”、“高興”等都不能用來描述雞仔們的反應。故C項正確。

6.A. attracted：被吸引；B. beaten：被擊敗、沮喪；C. bothered：被打攪；D. influenced：被影響。題意：雞仔們放下口中食物，傾聽男孩的話，似乎被他有力而有效的語言所吸引。故A項正確。

7.A. casually：隨意地；B. carefully：仔細地；C. luckily：幸運地；D. cautiously：謹慎地。題意：從上文“放下口中食物傾聽”可知，雞仔們在“仔細地”聽男孩說話。故選擇B項。

8.A. obvious：明顯的；B. slight：輕微的；C. crucial：至關重要的；D. common：常見的。題意：練習的效果越來越明顯。后文也說明，男孩最終擺脫了口吃的毛病，正是找到口吃原因以及練習的緣故。故A項正確。

9.A. effect：效果、影響；B. benefit：好處、益處；C. cause：原因、起因；D. harm：害處、壞處。從下文可知：男孩的父親專橫，認為“男孩子可博學但不可多話”，整個孩提時代，只要他說話或發(fā)表看法，他父親就會嚴厲批評他。這正是造成男孩口吃的原因。故C項正確。

10.A. originally：起初；B. personally：親自；C. doubtfully：猶豫不決；D. stubbornly：固執(zhí)地。題意：男孩父親固執(zhí)地信奉“男孩子要博學少言”的古訓。從男孩一說話父親就嚴厲批評來看，其態(tài)度是堅定的。故D項正確。

11.A. think：認為；B. listen：聽；C. play：玩耍；D. talk：談話、說話。古訓：男孩要博學但不可多話。D項正確。

12.A. since：因為；自從；B. before：在……之前；C. whenever：無論何時；D. unless：除非。題意：無論何時，只要男孩說話，都會受到父親嚴厲指責。故選擇C項。

13.A. apply to：申請；B. lead to：導致；C. refer to：指；參看；D. owe sth. to sb.：欠某人某物。 題意：父親的嚴厲指責“造成”男孩害羞的性格。B項正確。

14.A. amaze：使 ……驚奇；B. study：研究、學習；C. laugh：大笑；D. look：看。題意：因為害羞，過去總是擔心被人“嘲笑”，所以變成了口吃。laugh at sb. 嘲笑某人。C項正確。

15.A. silent：沉默的；B. active：活躍的；C. noisy：吵鬧的；D. upset：難過的。題意：因為害羞、怕人嘲笑，所以在人前保持沉默。A項符合題意。

16.A. logically：邏輯上；B. typically：典型地；C. equally：平等地；D. naturally：自然地。題意：對著雞仔說話，不必擔心被嘲笑，口吃“自然”也就消失了。D項正確。

17.A. strength：力量、力氣；B. dream：夢想；C. confidence：自信；D. freedom：自由。題意：口吃消失了，自然獲得了“自信”。C項正確。

18.A. successful：成功的；B. intelligent：聰明的；C. modest：謙遜的；D. responsible：有責任心的、需負責的。男孩的夢想是成為傳教士，他做到了，且很成功。他現(xiàn)在能言善辯，這與“聰明”、“謙虛”、“有責任心”等沒有關系。故選擇A項。

19.A. gift：禮物、天資；B. barrier：障礙；C. ability：能力；D. study：學習。題意：看到他現(xiàn)在能言善辯，很難想象過去的他曾有語言障礙。B項符合題意。

20.A. arrange：安排；B. exchange：交換；C. reduce：減少；D. change：改變。題意：遇到劣勢，要相信自己能夠“改變”劣勢。D項正確。
