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, fulllength 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可知，高中毕业典礼上演讲的成功完成给了“我”最终摆脱羞怯的信心。故B项正确。‎ 七选五 ‎(2019·合肥调研性检测)‎ How to Set Goals Whether you have small dreams or high expectations, setting goals allows you to plan how you want to move through life. Some achievements can take a lifetime to attain, while others can be completed in a day. 1. ‎ ‎•Determine your life goals. Ask yourself some important questions about what you want for your life. What do you want to achieve today, in a year, and in your lifetime? The answers to this question can be as general as “I want to be happy.” or “I want to help people.” 2. ‎ ‎•Set specific goals. Be specific and realistic about what it is that you want to achieve. Research shows that setting a specific goal makes you more likely to achieve it. 3. For example, “Be healthier” is too big and vague to be a helpful goal. “I want to eat more vegetables, and I want to run a marathon.” is better.‎ ‎•Write out your goals. Be detailed, be clear, and include your steps. 4. Keep your list in a place where you can get informed frequently. This will help keep you motivated.‎ ‎•5. You may find yourself set in your ways concerning broad life goals, but take the time to reevaluate your smaller goals. Are you accomplishing them according to your timeline? Are they still necessary to keep you on track towards your larger life goals? Allow yourself the flexibility to make some small changes to your goals.‎ A．Adjust your goals.‎ B．Track and measure your progress.‎ C．Having deadlines will keep you motivated.‎ D．Consider what you hope to achieve in 10，15, or 20 years.‎ E．Here are some important ideas that you may find helpful.‎ F．Writing them down tends to make them become a little more real.‎ G．Remember that you may need to break large goals into smaller goals.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了设定目标的四种方法。‎ ‎1．E　解析：根据空处所在位置可知，空处承上启下；结合下文各段的主题句可知，空处引出设定目标的有用方法，故E项符合语境。‎ ‎2．D　解析：根据该段的主题句“Determine your life goals.”可知，该段主要建议 “确定你的终身目标”；据此可知，该目标属于长期目标，故D项符合语境。‎ ‎3．G　解析：根据下文中的“For example, ‘Be healthier’ is too big and vague to be a helpful goal. ‘I want to eat more vegetables, and I want to run a marathon.’ is better.”可知，该处举例说明要把大目标分解成小目标，故G项符合语境。‎ ‎4．F　解析：根据该段的主题句“Write out your goals.”可知，要写下你的目标；据此可以判断，空处解释 “写下目标” 的原因，故F项符合语境。‎ ‎5．A　解析：根据空处所在位置可知，空处是该段的主题句；结合该段内容尤其是该段尾句“Allow yourself the flexibility to make some small changes to your goals.”可知，该段主要讲可以灵活地对你的目标做一些改变，故A项符合语境。‎ 语法填空 ‎(2019·南宁摸底联考)When waiting for the train, a young girl playing with her ball suddenly found it out of her hands, 1.
