31、公司用做标识。3.B 词义猜测题。由上下文可知,受预算的影响,学校常放弃音乐和艺术课,却保留危险的足球课。如果草书成为另外一个课程牺牲品,那对学生会是一大损失。故画线词的意思应该是“放弃” 。4.C 推理判断题。由最后一段“Thank you,Mrs.Shaw,for seeing so much in my handwriting.I needed that push.”可推断,老师表扬作者的话令作者很受鼓舞。【文章大意】这篇文章主要讲了不要期盼完美的演讲，没有人会注意到你的错误，有时一两个错误也不坏。1.D 【解析】词义猜测题。根据上文Because the listeners do no
32、t know what the speaker plans to say. They hear only what the speaker does say.可知，没人会注意到你在演讲中所出现的问题和错误，故选 D。83.C 【解析】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后一句话Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speakers attractiveness by making him more human 作者认为演讲中的一两个错误并不坏。故选 C。4.B 【解析】标题判断题。根据第一段的句子It may help you to kn
33、ow that there is no such thing as a perfect speech.可知，文章主要介绍不要期望完美的演讲。故选 B。.【解题导语】本文是记叙文。一次停车的经历让作者意识到多为他人着想能给自己带来心灵上的平静。1.B 根据第二段中的 I was heading into one car space,the park in front 可知,市场有很多停车位,作者“选择了(choose)”其中一个停车。2.A 参照第 3 题解析。3.D 根据下句中的“The girl was actually a teenager.”可知,一位行人因为作者差点撞到了自己的“女儿(
34、daughter)”而“指责(abuse)”作者。4.D 根据本空前的 a teenager 及下句内容可知,与小孩子相比,青少年已经足够“大(old)”了,她应该有看到车子躲避的常识。5.C 根据上文中的 a parking space and reversed in 可知,这里指作者“停好车(park)”后。6.A 根据本句内容可知,“当(when)”那位女士指出作者的错误时,作者为自己辩护。7.B 根据 but 的转折语气及作者为自己的辩护 I had never.the park in front 可知,那位女士认为作者本来是向一个停车位开去,但是又改变了“主意(mind)”,向另一个
35、停车位开去。8.C 根据第一段内容可知,作者一开始就选好了停车位,所以从来没有“打算(intend for)”停在前面的一个停车位上。9.C 参照第 10 题解析。10.B 既然双方已经解释清楚了,所以作者“建议(suggest)”就把这件事当成一个误会,而不是因为对方生气,自己就“不客气(unkindness)”或者更生气。911.A 根据本句中的 the angry woman was in the wrong 可知,一对老夫妇目睹了事件的全过程,他们认为是那位女士的错,由此可推测,他们认为作者把这件事情处理得“很好(well)”。12.B 得到了别人的支持,作者应该感到“安慰(comfo
36、rt)” 。13.C 根据本空后两句内容可知,作者在市场里想起了这件“事(incident)” 。14.D 根据第二段内容不难看出,作者并未与那位女士争吵,全程都很“冷静(calm)” 。15.A 参照第 17 题解析。16.D 参照第 17 题解析。17.C 根据本段开头的 Car parks in summer 及常识可知,夏天的停车场又“热(heat)”又忙碌,绝不是什么“让人快乐的(joyous)”的场所,人们很容易失去“耐心(patience)” 。18.B 本空前的 consider other people 和本空后的 only thinking of ourselves 是非此
37、即彼的关系,故 instead of(而不是)符合此处语境。19.A 根据本空后的 self-love 可知,这次停车的经历让作者得到了“平静(peace)”和自爱。20.D 通读全文不难看出,在平静、自爱与怒气之间,作者“更喜欢(prefer)”前者。.短文改错Dear Ms.Li,Im very happy have you as our teacher.As the world is becoming a global village,English is getting more or more important,so mastering English means see the
