五、阅读理解
Zhang Lin was a shy girl in Grade 8.She never raised her hand in cl lass,even when she
knew the answer.She was afraid of speaking in front of others−her voice would shake(颤抖)
and her face would turn red.At break time,she usually sat alone,reading books.
One day,her English teacher announced a Storytelling Contest(比赛)in class.“ Anyone
can join,” the teacher said.“ It's a great chance to practise your English and show your
ideas.” Zhang Lin felt excited but nervous.She loved reading stories and often made up small
stories in her free time.But the thought of standing in front of the whole class made her heart
beat fast.
That night,Zhang Lin talked to her mother about the contest.“ I want to try,but I'm too
scared,” she said.Her mother smiled and said,“ Fee ing scared is normal.Even brave people
feel scared sometimes.The key is to take the first step.” With her mother's encouragement,
Zhang Lin decided to join the contest.
For the next week,Zhang Lin practised every day.She wrote a story about a litt tle bird
that was afraid to fly.She read the story aloud to her mother again and again,and her mother
helped her correct her pronunciation.Slowly,Zhang Lin felt more confident.
On the day of the contest,Zhang Lin's hands were still shaking when it was her turn.But
she took a deep breath and started telling her story.To her surprise,her voice didn't shake as
much as she thought.When she finished,the class clapped loudly.“ You did a wonderful
job !" the teacher said.
After the contest,many classmates came to tall k to Zhang Lin.“ Your story was so)
interesting !" one girl said.Zhang Lin smiled happily.She found that speaking in front of
others wasn't as scary as she thought.
Now,Zhang Lin still likes reading,but she also enjoys joining class activities.She even
volunteered to host the class's end−of−term party.“ Taking that first step was difficult,” she
said,“ but it made me see that I can do more than I thought."

解析
【分析】
做这篇阅读理解时，首先快速通读全文理清故事脉络：害羞的八年级女孩张林原本不敢当众发言，在妈妈的鼓励下参加讲故事比赛，最终突破自我。之后针对每道小题的题干关键词，回到原文对应段落定位信息，逐一比对选项：第一题定位第一段找张林上课不举手的原因；第二题定位第三段找促使她决定参赛的因素；第三题定位第四段找参赛故事的内容；第四题定位倒数第二段找她完成讲述后的感受；第五题结合全文核心事件判断“that first step”的指代内容，排除干扰项选出正确答案。
【解析】
1. 细节理解题。根据原文第一段“She never raised her hand in class...She was afraid of speaking in front of others−her voice would shake and her face would turn red.”可知张林上课不举手是害怕在他人面前讲话，A选项“她想独自坐着”、B选项“她不喜欢老师”原文未提及，C选项“她不知道答案”和原文“even when she knew the answer”矛盾，因此选D。
2. 细节理解题。根据原文第三段“With her mother's encouragement, Zhang Lin decided to join the contest.”可知是妈妈的鼓励让她决定参赛，A“老师的压力”、B“她热爱英语测试”、C“同学的邀请”均不符合原文内容，因此选D。
3. 细节理解题。根据原文第四段“She wrote a story about a little bird that was afraid to fly.”可知她的参赛故事是关于一只害怕飞翔的小鸟，A“关于她自己的生活”、B“关于勇敢女孩”、D“她从书上读的故事”均和原文描述不符，因此选C。
4. 细节理解题。根据原文倒数第二段“Zhang Lin smiled happily.”可知她讲完故事之后十分开心，A害怕、C生气、D无聊均不符合原文描述，因此选B。
5. 词义指代题。结合全文内容，张林原本极度害怕当众发言，她所说的“第一步”指代的是克服恐惧报名参加讲故事比赛、上台完成故事讲述这件事，A写故事、B和妈妈谈话、C练习故事都只是过程中的环节，不是核心指代对象，因此选D。
【答案】1.D 2.D 3.C 4.B 5.D
