Are you nervous when you stand in front of the public? Are you afraid to make a speech?
Li Jun, a middle school boy, felt shy when he was making a speech the other day. Li had thought it would be quite easy to speak in front of 1 classmates.
“I was wrong. It was very difficult and much 2 than talking to my classmates during playtime,” Li said. “I tried, but it was really difficult to speak. I felt like a mute (哑巴) and wanted to leave the classroom 3 .”
Li is not alone. Many middle school students now have the same 4 : they can talk about their ideas freely 5 their best friends after class, but can’t speak in public.

A
As young students, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize; they can also be small, such as becoming one of the best students in your class.
Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real?
Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making your dreams real is life’s biggest challenge. You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it’s impossible for you to become a writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing your dream.
In fact, everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want every day and then your dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is, in fact, made up of many small dreams.
You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dream. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what the most important is. Studying instead of watching TV will help you to get better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.
As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn something more useful and find new hobbies.
The biggest difficulty on the road to your dreams comes from _______.
yourself
your friends
your school
your parents

How to become a writer

(2019 南昌中考)
The first part of a new science-fiction series(系列剧)was shown on NBC last night. Star Trek is about a spacecraft(宇宙飞船)which travels faster than the speed of light. The show is developed from three ideas about the 22nd century. First, we’ll find other life forms in our galaxy(星系). Second, we won’t fight with these aliens. And third, we’ll have great tools which will make amazing things possible.
Let’s think about these predictions. If we find life forms on other planets, will they be intelligent? I hope so. But we human beings might not be friendly – I don’t think we’ll believe in the idea of peace one hundred years from now. But this is science fiction, so we can be optimistic! And Star Trek’s idea of life in the future is a lot of fun. For example, we will be able to talk to each other with hand-held ‘communicators’. And we will be able to have conversations with people who are on different planets, on a huge TV screen. You don’t have to use a pen and paper because you’ll have an electronic notebook. And if you get ill, the doctor won’t have to examine you – a machine will ‘read’ your body. The strangest machine includes a ‘teleport’ which will take people to a different place in a second!
The ideas are interesting, and in my opinion there’s only one problem with star trek: the acting. The TV company(公司)will have to get better actors. If they do that, the show might be a success. If the acting doesn’t improve, Star Trek won’t last for more than one series. Of course, my prediction may be wrong. I can’t see into the future!
5. What is Star Trek?
A. A popular song. B. A TV play. C. A spacecraft. D. An alien.
6. What does the underlined word “optimistic” mean?
A. Lucky and happy. B. Hopeful and confident.
C. Helpful and creative. D. Thankful and popular.
7. What’s the writer’s opinion about Star Trek?
A. The life forms on other planets are stupid.
B. Interesting ideas make a new series popular.
C. The new series might not be successful without better actors.
D. Our life in the future might be different with the help of aliens.
8. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. Aliens on Other Planets. B. The Idea of Human Life.
C. A Science Fiction. D. A New Series about Future.
IV. 书面表达。
每个人,每个民族,都拥有自己的梦想。千万个梦,汇聚成中国梦(China dream)。努力坚守,终能梦想成真。

答案与解析
I. 单项选择。
1. C。从题中 “Usually at the Lantern Festival”能看出,该题应该是提问时间,同时宾语从句中应该用陈述句语序,故应该选when people eat。
2. A。该定语从句中的先行词是人,而引导词在从句中又应该作主语,所以应该用who来引导。
3. A。该定语从句中的先行词CD指物,that既可以指人又可以指物,因此选择that。
4. B。由该题中的答语“I was walking down Centre Street when a UFO landed”能看出,该题应该是提问“看见了什么”,同时,宾语从句应该用陈述句语序,故应该选what you saw。
5. A。该定语从句中的先行词是人,而引导词在从句中又应该作主语,所以应该用who来引导。
6. C。该定语从句中的先行词虽然指物,但是该先行词在从句中作地点状语,所以应该用where来引导。
7. B。intend后应该用intend to do,所以应该选to study。
8. B。根据句意为“为了拥有一个美好的将来,我们不仅应该努力学习还应该拥有一个好的身体”,所以应该选择not only… but also…。
9. B。finish后应该跟动词-ing形式,所以应该选watching。
10. D。根据句意理解,书落在办公室了,所以现在应该是去取回,而不是带来、拿走或携带,所以选择fetch。
11. B。take pride in sth. 意为“为某事骄傲”,为固定搭配,所以选择pride。
12. A。“下定决心”为固定短语搭配make a decision,故选择名词decision。
13. B。look作“看起来”讲时,为系动词,后面应该接形容词,所以选lovely。
14. C。用must提问,否定回答只能用needn’t或者don’t have to, 这里没有don’t have to,因此选择needn’t。
15. A。从该句来看,句中缺少谓语动词,其他几项虽然都意为“代替”,但都不是动词,所以应该选择动词短语take the place of。
【真题链接】
1. D。本题意为:——我的老师经常鼓励我多交朋友,但是我发现很困难。——你的老师的想法是正确的,你朋友越多,你就会越快乐。encourage sb. to do sth.“鼓励某人去做某事”;the + 比较级+……,the + 比较级+……,意为“越……就越……”,故答案选D。
2. B。本句意为:——只要我们努力,我们肯定会进入一个好的高中。——是的,努力学习,我们的梦想就会实现。A. as soon as 一……就……;B. as long as只要;C. as far as直到……为止;D. even if即使;故答案选B。
3. B。句意:交通标志警示人们不要酒后驾车。warn sb. to do sth警告某人干某事;warn sb. not to do sth.警告某人不要干某事;所以答案为B。
II. 完形填空。
1.D。根据文中“Li Jun, a middle school boy”所知,这是一个男孩,所以他应该是过去认为站在他的同学们面前说话很容易。故选his。
2.A。上文中说Li认为站在同学们面前说话很容易,现在又说“I was wrong. It was very difficult…”,他认为比平时和同学们玩儿的时候说话要更困难。故选harder。
3.B。根据前文“I felt like a mute (哑巴)…”所说,可知他感觉很尴尬,所以想“很快”逃离,其他选项均不符合逻辑。故选quickly。
4.C。Li Jun所遇到的“问题”不是个案,大家都遇到了同样的问题。其他几个选项均没有“问题”的意思,故选problem。
5.D。“与某人谈话”用固定短语 “talk with sb.”,故选with。
6.B。 全文都在讲说话的问题,之所以会造成这样的问题是因为学校过多关注 “writing”而不是 “speaking”,故选speaking。
7.A。全文都在讲说话的问题,所以这里应该是希望学生能开口说话,故选mouths。
8.C。这个地方前后文是一个承接的关系,故选And。
9.B。根据上下文可知,该句的句意为“空闲的时候应该多练习”,故选practise。
10.D。根据前文可知,按照这样的方法去练习就会让演讲很好并且让人感到自信,其他几个词均没有“让”的意思,故选make。
III. 阅读理解。
A篇
1. A。由文中倒数第二段第三句话“But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself.”可知,最大的困难来自于你自己,故选A。
2. D。由文中第三段第二句话可知A选项在文中提到了,而由文中第三段第一句可知B选项也提到了,由倒数第二段中第一句话可知C选项也提到了,只有D没有提到,故选D。
3. D。由文中第四段“The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want every day and then your dream will come true faster.”可知,A, B和C都有,故选D。
4. D。本文讲的就是实现梦想,所以A可以排除,C选项在文中没有提到,而B选项太片面,只讲到了一部分内容。而D选项概括得比较全面。故选D。
B篇
5. B。由文章第一句“The first part of a new science-fiction series (系列剧)was shown on NBC last night.”可知答案选B。
6. B。句意:但是这是一个科幻电影,所以我们可以乐观。从前句的含义,“人类不会对外星生命友好”,和后句“星际迷航的理念是未来的生活充满了乐趣。”。由此可以推测出,在电视节目上我们可以乐观。故选B。
7. C。题意:关于星际迷航,作者的观点是什么?由短文最后一自然段中的“The TV company will have to get better actors. If they do that, the show might be a success.”(公司必须有更好的演员,如果有,节目可能成功), 可知作者的观点是C。
8. D。本文主要介绍的是一新系列剧的内容及作者的观点,故选D。
Ⅳ. 书面表达。
My Dream
Good morning, my dear friends. My name is Li Hua. I’m glad to be here to talk about my dream.
My dream is to be a good doctor. The reason is that some doctors saved my life after I was badly injured in a traffic accident. Their super medical skills impressed me deeply. From then on, to be a doctor in the future has always been an inspiration to me. I have been working very hard in order to realize my dream.
One’s personal dream is part of China dream. Therefore, as long as everyone makes great effort to do their own jobs very well, it will be easier to achieve our China dream.
Thank you for your listening!
