①I still remember last year's Talent Show in our school clearly. It was a big event, and everybody was excited to show their skills at the Talent Show.
②A week before the Talent Show, we started preparing. My classmate Becky played the piano really well. Her fingers danced on the keys, and the music always made us feel happy. Julie was great at singing English songs—her voice was so sweet. Jeff loved Chinese kung fu and could show cool moves. After school, they were all busy preparing for the show. But I had nothing to do. What could I do?
③To my surprise, my classmate, Laura, asked me to be an actor for a puppet show(木偶戏) at the opening ceremony(开幕式) with her! "Me? Can I?" "Yes!" she answered. When I was free, I studied the play carefully and practised it really hard. I also learned from my classmates when I did something wrong. Finally, the opening-ceremony puppet show was amazing. Everyone in my class gave me a big hand. I cried but felt happy.
④Two days later, I shared an English story at the Talent Show. I never did that before. I worried about it at first. But I didn't want to give up. I looked for some useful ways on the internet and asked my teachers for some help. When the big day finally came, I told the story really well. Many people came to watch the show, and they cheered loudly for me. I was so proud of myself!
⑤Now, I feel much more confident(自信的). I start to think about what to do for next year's Talent Show—to show myself again!

【语篇导读】本文作者回忆了去年参与学校才艺
表演的点点滴滴,细述了自己从起初觉得自己无
一技之长,到受同学之邀加入木偶戏表演并获得
成功,再到自信完成英文故事分享的历程。
1. D 提示:细节理解题。根据第二段第五句“Jeff
loved Chinese kung fu and could show cool moves.”
可知,杰夫喜欢中国功夫,并且能展示很酷的动
作,所以他可以在才艺表演中表演中国功夫。
2. B 提示:推理判断题。第二段中提到了当其他同
学都在为才艺表演忙碌地做准备时,作者却无事
可做,由此推知“What could I do?”这句话体现了
作者为此感到担忧。
3. D 提示:代词指代题。根据画线词前两句“Two
days later, I shared an English story at the Talent
Show. I never did that before.”可知,作者在才艺表
演上分享了一个英语故事,而作者之前从未做过
那样的事,由此推知作者起初为此感到担忧。“it”
指代前文提到的“讲述英语故事”。
4. C 提示:细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“A
week before the Talent Show, we started preparing.”
可知e排第一;根据第三段第一句“To my surprise,
my classmate, Laura, asked me to be an actor for a
puppet show at the opening ceremony with her!”可知
d排第二;根据第三段倒数第二、三句“Finally, the
opening-ceremony puppet show was amazing.
Everyone in my class gave me a big hand.”可知a排
第三;根据第四段第五句“I looked for some useful
ways on the internet and asked my teachers for some
help.”可知c排第四;根据第四段倒数第三句
“When the big day finally came, I told the story really
well.”可知b排最后,正确顺序是e-d-a-c-b。
5. A 提示:最佳标题题。通读全文可知,文章作者
回忆了去年参加学校才艺表演的经历,讲述了自
己从最初认为自己毫无才艺,到同学之邀参与木
偶戏表演并获得成功,再到自信完成英文故事分
享的经历。全文围绕自我展示展开,因此A项作
为标题最合适。
