80、a time when stage fright prevents you from stepping onstage.【答案】36. D 37. B 38. C 39. F 40. A【解析】【分析】本文为说明文。介绍了怯场是人的常见恐惧之一,不一定在舞台上,其他场合也可能会怯场,本文对此提供了一些解决怯场的小建议。【36题详解】根据前文:你上场了,聚光灯照在你身上,因此,你要开始表演了。再根据后文The inside of your mouth is dry, and your hands are wet.(你的嘴里是干的,你的手是湿的。)可知,你很紧张,故前面肯定是说什么都说不出来,故选
81、D。【37题详解】根据后文You can experience this kind of fear when playing sports, giving a talk, or even speaking in class.可知,不一定是在舞台上才会体会到怯场,在打比赛时,演讲时甚至是在班级讲话时,都会感受到这一恐惧,故选B。【38题详解】本空是属于主题句。本段频繁出现关键词reaction,怯场只是身体对压力做出的反应,故选C。【39题详解】本空属于主题句。根据后一句Practicing your performance and following some simple tips can
82、help you calm down and manage the feelings caused by anxiety.可知,作者提出了有办法来让你镇静下来,解决你的怯场问题,故选F。【40题详解】根据前一句stay away from drinks that contain caffeine(咖啡因).可知,咖啡因会让人更加兴奋,心跳更快,肯定不会镇静下来,故答案为A。【点睛】七选五解题技巧通读文章,首要关注文章的首段与末段,尤其是文章的这两段的末尾句,因为“开门见山”与“末尾点题”的写作方式是最为常见的,首段的末句一般是全文的主题所在,说明本文将探讨哪些内容,并简要指出文章的写作思路,有
83、时甚至会以提纲的形式进行呈现。首段的末句对于快速掌握文章的主题具有重要意义,如果它是文章的主题句,就可以使读者迅速明确文章情节将如何展开,并对文章的写作主题有了整体的了解。如果末句不是主题句,则需要继续寻找。这时,可以考虑文章的写作方式是否为“结尾总结”式,如两者均可排除,则需在文章中其他段落寻找主题句,但要注意首段与末段的提示作用。解题策略1)从意思上判断 在做题时最重要的是要读懂空白前后的句子,正确理解了这些句子后,根据意思的连贯性、逻辑性或者线索词从选项中选取正确答案。在读懂意思的基础上,再利用线索特征词等进一步确认答案。2)从词汇上锁定线索 保持对一些线索词的敏感是非常重要的,要好好关
84、注空白前后的名词和动词,然后在选项中查找它们的近义词、反义词、同义词、同类词等。其次是一些专有名词,比如说数词、代词、时间、年代、地点/名称等。尤其是在读不懂句子的情况下,利用这样的线索词寻找答案是很有效的方法。3)从关联词作为切入点 通常,英语的句段之间经常会运用关联词表示过渡和衔接,让文章的思路更清楚、逻辑更连贯,因此文章中和选项中表示各种逻辑关系的路标性信号词在选择答案时都是很重要的线索。在做题时可将这三个层面的线索很好地结合起来。如此题的第3, 4题都属于主题句,这两题的解题方法基本一样,即抓中心词,从词汇上锁定主题。如第3题本段频繁出现关键词reaction,怯场只是身体对压力做出的
85、反应,第4题根据后一句Practicing your performance and following some simple tips can help you calm down and manage the feelings caused by anxiety.可知,作者提出了可以帮你镇静下来的几种办法,故前面一句是先提出有方法可以解决你的怯场问题,选F。第三部分:书面表达(共两节,35 分)第一节阅读表达(共 4 小题;共 15 分)阅读下面短文,根据短文内容在答题卡相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息,完成对该问题的回答。Food as CommunicationWe usually u
