Question

【題目】 My stutter（口吃） had always been much of a problem. I'd had so many specialists(專家) for my speech over the years. It hurt me until I met a new one in the hall.

"Hello! I'm Mrs. Claussen. I hear you're from Texas!"

"Ye-Ye-Ye-Yes m-m-m-m-m-m-aam I am..."My heart felt like it was pounding ( 劇 烈 跳 動(dòng))through my chest and my hands were dripping wet.

"Well,” she said with a _________smile. "I've always like Texas."

She turned out to be the best speech specialist I've ever had, not like ________who told me to clap my hands while speaking. She was different from others.

Not just about my speech, but about everybody's.

文章大意：短文主要敘述了作者因?yàn)榭诔詥?wèn)題而感到痛苦，看了好多專家都沒(méi)有好轉(zhuǎn)，直到遇到了Mrs．Claussen專家。她的不同做法以及熱心善良給了我深遠(yuǎn)的影響，并讓我最終改善了自己的講話問(wèn)題。

【1】句意：“好吧”她帶著善意的微笑說(shuō)。

shy害羞的；cold冷的；weak虛弱的；kind善良的。根據(jù)下文第五段She turned out to be the best speech specialist 她是我所見過(guò)的最好的語(yǔ)言專家可知，故答案為D。

【2】句意：她是我所見過(guò)的最好的語(yǔ)言專家，跟那些告訴我說(shuō)話時(shí)拍拍手的人不一樣。

this這個(gè)；that那個(gè)；those那些；it它。根據(jù)下句She was different from others.她跟別人不一樣中others（表復(fù)數(shù)）可知，空處的詞應(yīng)為復(fù)數(shù)，做賓語(yǔ)從句的中心詞，故答案為C。

【3】句意：她花費(fèi)最初的幾周時(shí)間跟我交流——問(wèn)關(guān)于我的各種各樣的問(wèn)題，尤其是我的感覺。especially尤其；suddenly突然；quickly很快；nearly幾乎。根據(jù)句意可知，故答案為A。

【4】句意：我在我的舊學(xué)校里唱歌，是一名很好的男高音。

sang唱歌；spoke說(shuō)話；played玩；visited參觀。根據(jù)后半句and was a pretty good tenor（男高音）是一名很好的男高音可知，故答案為A。

【5】句意：但是我了解到新學(xué)校的合唱隊(duì)已滿員。

set up被建立；filled up被充滿；put up被張貼，搭起；get up起床。根據(jù)句意可知，應(yīng)為“合唱隊(duì)被充滿”，故答案為B。

【6】句意：我覺得她真地關(guān)心我作為一個(gè)人，而不僅僅是一個(gè)講話的學(xué)生。

fear恐懼；study學(xué)習(xí)；dream夢(mèng)想；speech演講、講話。根據(jù)文章開頭My stutter（口吃）had always been much of a problem我的口吃一直是很大的問(wèn)題，可知作者存在“口吃”問(wèn)題和第五段第一句話中的speech specialist可知此處指的是我的語(yǔ)言問(wèn)題，故選D。

【7】句意：我曾經(jīng)甚至想知道我是否將能夠交流。

if是否；that那；who水；which哪一個(gè)。根據(jù)句意可知，空處的詞是引導(dǎo)賓語(yǔ)從句，意為“是否”，故答案為A。

【8】句意：她已經(jīng)告訴我爭(zhēng)取完美的講話，只是為了更好的講話。

more difficult更難得；worse更糟糕的；better更好的；more important更重要的。根據(jù)下文I finally improved my speech greatly.最后我大大提高了我的說(shuō)話水平可知，故答案為C。

【9】句意：許多年過(guò)去了，但是我不時(shí)地想到她，想知道是否她對(duì)我跟對(duì)別的學(xué)生一樣有很多的影響。

trouble麻煩；influence影響；dependence依賴；surprise驚奇。根據(jù)結(jié)合后文中這個(gè)老師對(duì)我所起的積極影響，可知是指老師對(duì)我的影響，故答案為B。

【10】句意：她的名字是Mrs. Claussen，她關(guān)心我。

gave up放棄；cared about關(guān)心；suffered from受害于；worried about擔(dān)心。根據(jù)文章大意可知，Mrs. Claussen是關(guān)心我，故答案為B。
