　　答案與解析

　　[語篇解讀]　本文是一篇記敘文，講述作者在7歲時在一次舞蹈表演時出現失誤從自信到沮喪的思想變化過程。

　　1．A　從語境和動詞選項看，這里用動詞 filled 表示“使某物充滿(另一物)；裝滿”：大廳里坐滿了前來觀看表演的家人，也充滿了興奮的氣氛。

　　2．D　從語境的“大廳里充滿興奮的氣氛，坐滿了家人”可知他們是來看我表演。因此語境表示7歲的我成為大家關注的中心，用 the center of attention 表示“大家關注的中心”。pressure 壓力；impression 印象；debate 爭論，三項均不符合語境。

　　3．B　最終，在幾周的準備之后，我將通過舞蹈表演來展示我辛勤勞動的成果。show off 顯示，炫耀；take over 接管；look after 照看；give up 放棄，從語境的連貫判斷選B表示“展示”。

　　4．D　經過幾個星期的準備，我此時準備在大家面前露一手。由此判斷，此時的“我”覺得一切都會很完美。所以選D。

　　5．A　下文說節目主持人用嘹亮而清晰的聲音宣布接下來就是我們班級的表演，由此判斷，“我”在后臺穿好了表演服裝。dress up 盛裝打扮；fold up 折疊；cover up 蓋住，遮住；mix up 混淆。

　　6．C　這里表示節目演出中主持人宣布演出的節目，因此選C。announce 宣布，宣讀。

　　7．B　既然是登臺表演，面對的自然是觀眾(the audience)，而不是“音樂，幕布，舞臺”，故選B。

　　8．A　語境說“我保持微笑，把頭抬得高高的”，可見作者此時非常自得，滿臉都是綻放的微笑，因此選A，“這個動作太容易了”。本句為后面敘述我的失誤埋下伏筆。

　　9．D　從語境看，我這個小演員此時躊躇滿志，決定好好地表演一番，于是把注意力全都集中在保持微笑上。

　　10．C　這里用 where 引導狀語從句表示地點：我只顧著笑對觀眾，卻沒有注意自己的腳下。

　　11．B　從最后一段最后一句 I slipped during a performance (我在這次舞蹈表演中跌倒)可知選B。

　　12．A　我沒有注意同伴們的動作，結果表演出錯，引來觀眾的一片嘲笑，此時我感到一股熱血往臉上涌來，也就是說，此時我的臉都覺得發燙，臉紅了。從這些分析判斷選A。

　　13．D　如果出錯，但保持微笑可以使觀眾注意不到你的錯誤。leave 離開；cheer 歡呼；believe 相信，均不符合語境。故選D。

　　14．C　根據后文 as I continued with the routine (我繼續進行舞蹈動作)可知我努力按老師說的做。follow one's advice 按某人說的做。因此選C。

　　15．B　由于表演中出錯，我的希望隨著幕布降落而破滅。所以選B。doubt 疑惑；voice 聲音；patience 耐心，均與語境不符。

　　16．D　從 tasting the salt from the tears that streamed down my face (品嘗著順著臉往下流的眼淚的咸味)得知此處應該是哭泣。故選D。

　　17．B　從前文 I sobbed bitterly (我哭得很傷心)得知沒有人能夠讓我平靜下來。turn sb.down 拒絕某人；let down 使失望；put down 放下。只有 calm down (使平靜)符合語境。故選B。

　　18．A　從最后一段 I finished the routine with a smile on my face.(我面帶微笑完成舞蹈動作。)可以看出雖然我有失誤，但我依然按要求完成了舞蹈動作，并沒有因失誤半途而廢。雖敗猶榮。pioneer 先驅；loser 輸家；fool 傻瓜，都不符合短文內容，故被排除。所以選A。

　　19．C　根據第二段第七句的“and I felt the blood rush to my face 并且我感到臉一下子紅了”推知我很尷尬。satisfied 感到滿意的；moved 感動的；confused 迷惑不解的。都不能準確描述我的感受，應該排除。故選C。

　　20．B　從 but I fought the urge to run off the stage (但是我克制了想離開舞臺的想法)和 I finished the routine with a smile on my face (我面帶微笑完成舞蹈動作)看出有轉折并進一步說明之意。however 然而，只表示轉折；in total 總計；in return 作為回報，均不符合語境，所以被排除。因此選B。

　　Ⅲ.閱讀理解

　　(2011·上海高考)The teacher who did the most to encourage me was, as it happens, my aunt.She was Myrtle C．Manigault, the wife of my mother's brother Bill.She taught me in second grade at all-black Sumner School in Camden, New Jersey.

　　During my childhood and youth, Aunt Myrtle encouraged me to develop every aspect of my potential, without regard for what was considered practical or possible for black females.I liked to sing; she listened to my voice and pronounced it good.I couldn't dance; she taught me the basic dancing steps.She took me to the theatre—not just children's theatre but adult comedies and dramas—and her faith that I could appreciate adult plays was not disappointed.

　　My aunt also took down books from her extensive library and shared them with me.I had books at home, but they were all serious classics.Even as a child I had a strong liking for humour, and I'll never forget the joy of discovering Don Marquis's Archy & Mehitabel through her.

　　Most important, perhaps, Aunt Myrtle provided my first opportunity to write for publication.A writer herself for one of the black newspapers, she suggested my name to the editor as a “youth columnist”．My column, begun when I was fourteen, was supposed to cover teenage social activities—and it did—but it also gave me the freedom to write on many other subjects as well as the habit of gathering material, the discipline of meeting deadlines, and, after graduation from college six years later, a solid collection of published material that carried my name and was my passport to a series of writing jobs.

　　Today Aunt Myrtle is still an enthusiastic supporter of her “favourite niece”．Like a diamond, she has reflected a bright, multifaceted (多面的) image of possibilities to every pupil who has crossed her path.

　　1．Which of the following did Aunt Myrtle do to the author during her childhood and youth?

　　A．She lent her some serious classics.

　　B．She cultivated her taste for music.

　　C．She discovered her talent for dancing.

　　D．She introduced her to adult plays.

　　2．What does Archy & Mehitabel in Paragraph 3 probably refer to?

　　A．A book of great fun.

　　B．A writer of high fame.

　　C．A serious masterpiece.

　　D．A heartbreaking play.

　　3．Aunt Myrtle recommended the author to a newspaper editor mainly to ________.

　　A．develop her capabilities for writing

　　B．give her a chance to collect material

　　C．involve her in teenage social activities

　　D．offer her a series of writing jobs

　　4．We can conclude from the passage that Aunt Myrtle was a teacher who ________.

　　A．trained pupils to be diligent and well-disciplined

　　B．gave pupils confidence in exploiting their potential

　　C．emphasized what was practical or possible for pupils

　　D．helped pupils overcome difficulties in learning

　　答案與解析

　　[語篇解讀]　本文為記敘文。文章講述“我”的舅媽Myrtle C．Manigault一如既往，不遺余力地鼓勵“我”發展各方面潛能的小故事。她從小學二年級開始至今對“我”無微不至的關懷使“我”終身受益。她特別注重挖掘學生的潛力以使她的每個學生全面發展。
