真題呈現
B
For Canaan Elementary’s second grade in Patchogue, N.Y.，today is speech day ,and right now it’s Chris Palaez’s turn. The 8-year-old is the joker of the class. With shining dark eyes, he seems like the of kid who would enjoy public speaking.
But he’s, nervous.「I’m here to tell you today why you should … should…」Chris trips on the「-ld,」a. pronunciation difficulty for many non-native English speakers. His teacher ,Thomas Whaley ,is next to him, whispering support.「…Vote for …me …」Except for some stumbles, Chris is doing amazingly well. When he brings his speech to a nice conclusion ,Whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him.
A son of immigrants, Chris stared learning English a little over three years ago. Whaley recalls(回想起)how at the beginning of the year，when called upon to read，Chris would excuse himself to go to the bathroom.
Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience. What you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes. 「It takes a lot for any student，」 Whaley explains，「especially for a student who is learning English as their new language，to feel confident enough to say，『I don’t know，but I want to know.』」
Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president. The answer broke his heart. Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public. He wants these kids to learn to boast(誇耀)about themselves.
「Boasting about yourself，and your best qualities,」 Whaley says，「is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident.」

正確答案

解析答案
24. 細節理解題。通過題目中的nervous ,找到對應句：文中第二段第一句話But he's nervous. 以及第一段中：today is speech day , and right now it’s Chris Palaez’s turn.以及第二段中a pronunciation difficulty for many non-native English speakers.可知：他是英語為非母語的孩子，公眾英文演講會非常緊張。故此題選B。
25.猜詞題。詞不離句，找到對應句：Except for some stumbles, Chris is doing amazingly well（除去有些磕磕絆絆(不順暢)，他表現(說地)非常到位）.對於「stumbles」,可以通過克裡斯·帕萊茲的演講語「I’m here to tell you today why you should … should…」Chris trips on the「-ld,」「…Vote for …me …」可知：stumbles就是不合適的停頓，磕磕絆絆(不順暢)。
26.推理題。題目中 Whaley’s project為核心詞，問題是要找到the purpose of Whaley’s project.找到文章中的對應句：Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public. He wants these kids to learn to boast(誇耀)about themselves（沃利說，這個項目不僅僅是在公共場合學習閱讀和演講。他希望這些孩子學會自我誇讚）.顯然選項A是對應句的高度概括，故選A.
27.推理題。通過全文的表述以及沃利的言語，可知 Whaley就希望多鼓勵每個孩子，讓每一位孩子更自信。因此，Whaley（caring)每一個孩子，故選C.
參考譯文
對於紐約州帕奇格的卡納小學二年級來說，今天是演講日，現在輪到克裡斯·帕萊茲了。這個8歲的孩子是班上的小丑。他有著閃亮的黑眼睛，看起來像那種喜歡在公眾場合講話的孩子。
但他很緊張。「今天我來告訴你為什麼你應該……應該……」克裡斯在「-ld」上結結巴巴，這對許多非英語母語的人來說是發音難點。他的老師託馬斯·沃利在他旁邊，低聲傳話支持著。「……投票給……我……」除了有點結巴，克裡斯做得非常好。當他將演講完美結束時，Whaley老師帶動全班同學表揚他。
作為移民的兒子，克裡斯三年多前開始學了一點英語。惠利回憶說，年初，當克裡斯被要求閱讀時，他常常找藉口去洗手間。
把英語作為第二語言學習可能是一段痛苦的經歷。你所需要的是一個能讓你犯錯的好老師。「對任何一個學生來說都需要很多，」沃利解釋說，「尤其是對於一個學習英語作為他們新語言的學生來說，要有足夠的信心說『我不知道，但我想知道』。」
有一天，沃利想到了這個二年級的總統競選項目，當沃利問孩子們，如果他們認為自己永遠都不可能成為總統的話，請舉手示意。（學生們的）回答使他心碎。沃利說，這個項目不僅僅是學習閱讀和在公共場合演講。他想要這些孩子學著以他們自己為榮耀。
「誇耀你自己和你最好的品質，」沃利說，「對於一個沒有自信地來到教室裡孩子來說是很困難的。」
