38、从句，并在从句中作主语，指代“to draft the speech”，故用which。4lay考查动词的时态。根据上文中的“was”可知，文中描述的事情发生在过去，故此处用一般过去时，故填lay。5was forbidden考查动词的时态和语态。forbid和句子的形式主语it之间是被动关系，且事情发生在过去，故用一般过去时的被动语态。6trembling考查with复合结构。“with宾语(名词或代词)宾补”为独立主格结构。此处my legs和tremble构成逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词形式。7myself考查代词。根据语境可知，此处表示“我发现我自己恢复原状”，应为“found myself back”，故应填反身代词myself。8what 考查连词。分析句子结构可知，空处引导宾语从句，在从句中作主语，表示“的东西”，故用what引导该宾语从句。9confidence考查词性转换。由空前的形容词性物主代词my可知，此处用名词形式，即confidence。10greatest考查形容词最高级。根据语境和空前的定冠词the以及空后的名词difficulty可知，此处应用形容词的最高级形式，故填greatest。9
