(2019·南昌重点中学高三段考) In high school I was very shy, content to hang around with my small group of friends and concentrate on my courses．I was quickly regarded as a “brain”．I did so well that by the end of the senior year I had perfect grades and enough credits to give up an entire quarter of coursework.
But in early June of the senior year, the principal called me into his office．He asked me to give a speech at graduation．I gaped(目瞪口呆地凝视) at him, my heart thumping．This was the reward for my hard work? I mumbled something and fled the office, blaming myself for staying away from physics, a subject sure to have ruined my perfect record.
I finally agreed to a compromise．I would share the honor with five other students．And my friend Judy would then give her own, full?length speech.
Graduation day soon arrived．I’d been practicing my speech for days, and I had it memorized．The first half hour of the ceremony passed in a blur, and then my moment came．My name was announced．I managed to reach the podium(讲台) without falling down．I faced my classmates．My voice trembled a little, but mostly it was clear and strong．But within seconds, I was done and headed back to my seat．I accomplished something I’d never dreamed of—I spoke in front of hundreds of people.
Although I didn’t realize it at the time, the successful completion of that speech gave me the confidence to participate in class at college, to give verbal reports, and to eventually break free from my shyness．I never would have chosen to give a speech at graduation ever．But I’m glad I did．I no longer hesitate when I’m faced with the prospect of doing something I dread．I know it may very well turn out to be one of my shining moments.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。“我”上高中时很羞怯，但由于学习成绩优秀，被校长要求在毕业典礼上演讲，“我”虽然害怕，但还是完成了这次演讲。这件事不仅使“我”摆脱了羞怯，增强了自信，而且让“我”在做“我”恐惧的事情时不再犹豫。
1．Why was the writer called a “brain”？
A．She was a bookworm all the time.
B．She was the head of her small group.
C．She did a good job in her studies.
D．She did more coursework for good grades.
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“I did so well that by the end of the senior year I had perfect grades and enough credits to give up an entire quarter of coursework．”可知，在高中毕业那年结束的时候“我”取得了优异的成绩，拿到了足够的学分，从而可以免去整整四分之一的课程作业。由此可推知，“我”被认为是一个“聪明的学生”是因为“我”在课业方面表现出色，故C项正确。
2．What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A．She ruined her health because of studying hard.
B．She got the reward beyond expectation.
C．She was grateful for giving a speech.
D．She wasn’t good at physics at school.
D 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“I mumbled something and fled the office，blaming myself for staying away from physics，a subject sure to have ruined my perfect record．”可知，“我”咕哝了几句话就逃出了办公室，责怪自己远离了物理，这门学科肯定破坏了“我”的完美记录。据此可以判断，作者不擅长物理，故D项正确。
3．How did the author feel at the beginning of the graduation speech?
A．Scared． B．Moved.
C．Excited. D．Embarrassed.
A 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段第五、六、七句“I managed to reach the podium(讲台) without falling down．I faced my classmates．My voice trembled a little，but mostly it was clear and strong．”可知，“我”设法到达讲台而不至于跌倒，面对着同学们， “我”的声音有点颤抖。据此可以推断，演讲开始时“我”感到害怕。A项意为“害怕，恐惧”，故A项正确。
4．What did the speech bring to the author at last?
A．She had nothing to fear in life.
B．She got rid of her sense of shyness.
C．She won enough college credits.
D．She desired to become a speaker.
B 解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“Although I didn’t realize it at the time，the successful completion of that speech gave me the confidence to participate in class at college，to give verbal reports，and to eventually break free from my shyness．”可知，高中毕业典礼上的成功演讲给了“我”最终摆脱羞怯的信心。故B项正确。

(2019·福州八县/市一中联考)“Clothes?swapping” is an activity which has become increasingly popular among American women．At a clothes swap event the women can give away unwanted clothing and get something different in return.
Recently about 300 women went to a clothes swap at a high school in Springfield, Virginia．It was the largest crowd ever for the area’s popular clothing?swapping group.
Daphne Steinberg was having a good day．“For anyone who knows Ann Taylor LOFT, Ann Taylor is a really good women’s designer and I will totally wear this to work．So I love that, and I love that I can equip myself for work, have a good time in doing it, and not totally bankrupt(使破产) myself．”
Sandy Van Dusen likes the idea that clothes are finding new homes instead of being thrown away．“Because it helps to keep the Earth green．There’s no point in my opinion in continuing to buy new clothes when we can reuse what are already here．Give them a new home—let somebody else love what you used to love and no longer love．”
Kim Pratt organized the clothes swap event in Springfield．She also organized a money?raising activity for the high school’s debate team．It is one of several ways that her group gives to charitable causes．Another is by donating all of the “unswapped” clothing to shelters for victims of domestic violence.
“I started doing this four years ago, and we’ve been doing it for four years, getting bigger and bigger each time we have a swap．”
She used the social media website meetup．com to help publicize the events．The website has helped her group grow from 30 members to 1, 300．Ms．Pratt says most of the members respect the clothing swap rules．But she says competition for desirable fashion can be strong.
“We have to tell people sometimes not to hover(徘徊) over the new people coming in with their clothing．As they put it out, some people tend to grab the stuff right out of their hands and it becomes like a free?for?all．We try to avoid that as much as possible．”
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了在Springfield的一所高中举办的“交换衣服”活动，详细介绍了活动组织人Kim Pratt组织该活动的初衷、意义和存在的问题等。

(2019·陕西部分学校第一学期摸底)Learning to set goals plays an important role as your child starts to gain independence．However, setting goals doesn’t come naturally to your child, so helping him to learn the process should probably be one of your goals.
Explain the word “goal”. Your child may know what a goal is when it comes to soccer, but he may not understand what it means in everyday life．1．________
Listen to your child. Ideally, you want your child to be able to decide for himself what his goals are．2．________ Let him talk about what he thinks he does well and what he thinks he needs to improve．If he’s stuck, you can provide some examples of your own personal goals.
Help keep goals achievable．Don’t throw cold water on your child．3．________ For example, if your child wants to be a champion swimmer, but can’t swim an entire lap of the pool yet, you can suggest he start by making that his first goal.
4．________ Help your child write down his goals in an easy?to?follow form．Being able to see and check off the steps on the way to his goal is key in keeping him motivated．A really simple way is to have your child draw a ladder on a piece of paper, writing his goal at the top and each step to that goal on the rungs(梯级)．5．________
A．Change goals every so often.
B．Make a visual goal reminder.
C．Don’t always tell him what you think.
D．He’s climbing to the top as he gets closer to his goal.
E．You can take sports as an example to help explain it to him.
F．Once he has set up a goal, he may find it very difficult to achieve it.
G．When a goal is beyond his reach, help him break it down into smaller pieces.
【解题导语】 本文主要介绍了如何帮助孩子设定自己的目标，从而使他们学会独立。
1．E 解析：根据空前的“Your child may know what a goal is when it comes to soccer”可知，通过拿足球运动作例子让孩子明白目标的概念，所以选E项。
2．C 解析：根据本段主题句“Listen to your child．”和空前的“Ideally，you want your child to be able to decide for himself what his goals are．” 可知，你不要总是告诉孩子你的想法，要让孩子自己去决定他的目标，所以选C项。
3．G 解析：根据本段主题句“Help keep goals achievable．”和空后所举的例子可推知，父母在孩子的目标太大不能实现的情况下，可以帮助其分解目标从而逐步实现目标，所以选G项。
4．B 解析：根据空后的“Help your child write down his goals in an easy?to?follow form．”可知，确定目标之后，要让孩子把目标写下来，便于提醒和及时查看。所以选B项。
5．D 解析：根据空前的“A really simple way is to have your child draw a ladder on a piece of paper, writing his goal at the top and each step to that goal on the rungs(梯级)．”可知，爬向顶端就意味着离目标更近了，所以选D项。
