Answer 1

答案：A;D;B;A;D;B;D;B;A;D;A;D;A;B;D
解析：

解析：[文章大意]我以前一開口說話就很緊張，后來在媽媽的鼓勵和關愛下，我參加了一次演講比賽，并獲得了冠軍。從那以后，一切都發生了改變：無論我做任何事情，都告訴自己要有信心，在心中發現自我。 (1) 由下文“I was sad but could do nothing.”可知我和別人說話時會神經緊張。too... to意為“太……而不能”。 (2) make faces at意為“對某人做鬼臉”；look after意為“照看、照顧”；catch up with意為“追上，趕上”；laugh at意為“嘲笑”。 (3) 由下文的“It changed my life. It was an English speech contest.”可知某事發生了。 (4) 由下文可知母親要作者參加演講比賽。參加某項活動應用take part in，參加某種組織用join。 (5) 作者與別人說話時特別緊張，以及由“What a terrible idea！”可知，演講應在全校的師生面前，應選D。 (6) beat表示在比賽中打敗某人，意為“贏”，此時，其賓語只能是表示人或團隊的詞語；win表示“贏”，其賓語是表示比賽、獎品等內容的詞語，win還可作不及物動詞用，后面不接賓語，表示“獲勝”；lose的意思是“失敗、輸”；pass表示“通過、及格”。媽媽是在鼓勵作者相信自己，肯定會贏得演講比賽的勝利，應選B。 (7) 根據上文“Then mother and I talked about many different topics.”可知作者選擇了“Believe in yourself”作為自己的演講題目。 (8) 指練習多達100多次。 (9) do well in意為“在某方面做得好”。 (10) 當作者聽到自己得了冠軍的消息時，幾乎不相信自己的耳朵。 (11) 既然是獲得了冠軍，作者聽到的應是同學們和老師的歡呼和喝彩。 (12) 由上文的“My classmates often laughed at me.”可知這里是指以前瞧不起作者的這些同學。who once looked down on me是定語從句。 (13) say“Congratulation”to sb.意為“向某人表示祝賀”。 (14) since then意為“其后、從此一直”。 (15) 根據下文“I will find myself”可知是告訴自己要自信。

提示：

啟示：固定搭配、上下文提示、生活常識、詞語辨析是解答完形填空的依據，也是答題方法、策略。建議解題步驟：首先不看選項快速瀏覽全文，了解大意。然后根據上下文等選擇合適的選項。最后將選項放上原文再次通讀全文，仔細檢查。
