Are you nervous when you stand in front of the public?Are you afraid to make a speech?
Li Jun,a middle school boy,felt shy when he was making a speech the other day.Li had thought it would be quite easy to speak in front of 16 classmates.
“I was wrong.It was very different and much 17 than talking to my classmates during playtime,” Li said.“I tried,but it was really difficult to speak.I felt like a mute(哑巴)and wanted to leave the classroom 18 .”
Li is not alone.Many middle school students now have the same 19 :they can talk about their ideas freely 20 their best friends after class,but can't speak in public.According to Zhou Hong,a teacher from a university,the main reason is that schools in China pay more attention to writing instead of 21 .
Zhou hopes schools can give students more chances to open their 22 ,such as speech competitions,English corners and class discussions.Students can join in any one they want to. 23 he also gives some advice to students.“During your free time,you should 24 more.When you're speaking in public,take it easy.Just imagine you're talking to nobody and speak up your ideas clearly,” Zhou said.“That 25 a fine public speech and you'll feel confident.”

24.A.play B.practice C.write D.watch
25.A.reports B.keeps C.hears D.makes
答案
16.D 结合上文中的a middle school boy可知,Li Jun是一个男孩,由此可知对应的形容词性物主代词是his。
17.A 结合上文中提到的quite easy可知,Li Jun以前觉得在同学面前讲话是一件很简单的事情,但由I was wrong.可知,事实并非如此,故此处用harder表示“在同学面前演讲比在课间休息时和同学说话难多了”。
18.B 结合上文的描述可推断,当时Li Jun觉得自己像个哑巴,想迅速离开教室。故quickly“快速地”符合题意。
19.C 结合上文的描述可知,Li Jun觉得当众演讲很难,这是他的“问题”。故problem“问题”符合题意。

21.B 结合上文提到的can't speak in public等信息可推断,中国的学校更注重“写”,而不是“说”,故speaking符合题意。

23.C 空前提到了“学生们可以参加其中的任何一项活动”,空后提到了“他还给学生们提出了一些建议”,结合设空处前后的句意,经过逻辑分析可推断,所缺的连词是and。

Community(社区)service means doing volunteer jobs for the public.It teaches valuable lessons about the duties of a citizen(公民).Today,in the United States,important services are provided through thousands of organizations created to meet needs not provided by government at the local,state,and national levels.These activities help to create a sense of great care for the public.
There are close connections between community service programs and civic(公民的)education in schools.At every level of school,students can be involved in community service projects.In the primary grades,one of the purposes for students is to learn basic civic values that include fair play,respect for the opinions of others,and the rights and duties of a citizen in our society.By taking part in community service programs,very young children can learn how to solve problems,work in groups as leaders or group members,and accept the duties for their decisions and actions.Besides,children develop knowledge of their community—its leaders,organizations,social groups,and standards of civic behavior.
Community service programs can provide the chances for students to learn social study skills.These include higher-level processes and skills of information collecting,critical thinking,and decision making.Community service programs also teach processes and skills for group discussions,leadership and teamwork.
Through community service programs,children can learn how people play roles in a discussion to work out the local problems.Students can volunteer to teach young children in child care centers or help in senior citizen centers.
