Making a speech in public used to make me frightening . With a strong accent and terrible pronunciation , I failed in speech competition many times, but I didn’t lose my heart. I was admitted by the school speech club. I considered it a good chance for me to improve myself. With a help of others, I recorded my speech, listening to it and corrected my pronunciation. Now I am confident enough to give my best speech to you all.
Don’t afraid of problems,  but make use of it to be the best of ourselves!
参考答案：

本文通过作者的经历，说明了这样一个道理，不要害怕问题，要勇于面对问题，做最好的自己。
考查宾语从句。句意为“我们永远不知道什么在等待我们”，引导词表示“什么”在从句中作主语，故要用what，所以that改成what。
考查主谓一致。这里还有一个强调句结构，句子主语是the process of solving problems，是第三人称单数，且在一般现在时中，谓语也用单数，所以help改成helps。
考查v+ed结构。make sb + adj，这里的形容词是表示sb状态的词语，v+ing修饰物，而v+ed修饰人，这里修饰人，所以frightening改成frightened。
考查名词单复数。我在演讲比赛中失败了很多次。“演讲比赛”是复数意义，所以用名词复数，competition改成competitions。
考查固定短语。但是我没有失去信心。lose heart失去信心，是固定短语，所以去掉my。
考查固定短语。我被允许进入学校的演讲俱乐部。be admitted to获准做某事，是固定短语，所以by改成to/into。
考查固定短语。With the help of在…的帮助下，是固定短语，所以a改成the。
考查时态。表示发生在过去的事情，用一般过去时，所以listening 改成listened。
考查固定短语。be afraid of害怕，是固定短语，所以afraid前面加be。
考查代词。指代前面的“problems”，是复数，所以it改成them。
名师点睛：小题1考查宾语从句的连接词。现将宾语从句连接词的用法总结如下：
一、 当由陈述句充当宾语从句时，用that引导，that 无词义，在口语或非正式文体中常省略。如：She said that she would leave the message on the headmaster's desk. 她说她会把留言条放在校长桌子上。二、 当由一般疑问句充当宾语从句时，用if 或whether 引导，意为“是否”。如：Alice wanted to know if/whether her grandmother liked the bag. 爱丽斯想知道她祖母是否喜欢这个包。但在下列情况下只能用whether：1. 在具有选择意义,又有or 或or not 时，尤其是直接与or not 连用时,往往用whether(if …or not 也可以使用)。如：
Let me know whether / if he will come or not.(= Let me know whether or not he will come ) 让我知道他是否能来。2. 在介词之后用whether 。如：I'm interested in whether he likes English. 我关心的是他是否喜欢英语。3. 在不定式前用whether。如：He hasn't decided whether to visit the old man. 他尚未决定是否拜访那位老人。4. whether 置于句首时，不能换用if。如：Whether this is true or not , I can't say. 这是否是真的我说不上来。5. 引导主语从句和表语从句时宜用whether。如：Whether she will come or not is still a question. 她是否能来还是个问题。6. 若用if 会产生歧义时，要用whether。如：Please let me know if you like the book.可理解为：① Please let me know whether you like the book. 请告诉我你是否喜欢这本书。② If you like the book, please let me know. 你如果喜欢这本书，请告诉我。三、 如果宾语从句原来是特殊疑问句，只需用原来的疑问词引导。如：Could you tell me where we will have the meeting this afternoon? 你能告诉我我们今天下午将在哪儿开会吗？I don't know who bought the present for me. Is it Jack? 我不知道谁给我买了礼物。是杰克吗？
20. 每句只有一个错误。按下列情况改正: 该句多一个词，把多余的词用斜线( \ ) 划掉，在该行右边横线上写出该词，并也用斜线划掉; 该句缺一个词，在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧)，在该句右边横线上写出该加的词;该句错一个词，在错的词下划一横线，在该句右边横线上写出改正后的词。
注意:不要改动原句的意思。

64. that → which               65. been∧in或 situation∧where
三、 阅读理解
21. 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
Which gender is the most talkative? No matter what you answer, you are partially right.
A recent Gallup Poll show that both man and women believe that women possess the gift of talking and some even believe women are biologically built for conversation, but all of this is challenged in research published in the November issue of “Personality and Social Psychology Review”.
In recent research by Campbell Leaper and Melanie Ayres, they collected all of the available evidence from decades of scientific study and systematically combined the findings into an overall picture of the differences between men and women regarding talkativeness.
They found a small but reliable tendency for men to be more talkative than women in certain cases, such as when they were conversing with their wives or with strangers. Women talked more to their children and to their college classmates.
The type of speech was also explored in the research. The researchers discovered that, with strangers, women were generally more talkative when it came to using speech to ensure her connection to the listener, while men’s speech focused more on an attempt to influence the listener. With close friends and family, however, there was very little difference between genders in the amount of speech.

A. Gallup Poll
B. “Personality and social Psychology Review”
C. Campbell Leaper and Melanie Ayres  
D. The author

B. Men are born more talkative than women
C. Women and men are talkative in different cases.
D. Women are no more talkative than men.
49. The underlined word “gender” in Paragraph 1 means ________.

D. men speak a lot to have their opinions accepted

22. One fine afternoon I was walking along Fifth Street, when I remembered that it was necessary to buy a pair of socks．Why I wished to buy only one pair was unimportant．I turned into the first sock shop that caught my eye, and a boy clerk who could not have been more than seventeen years old came forward, "What can 1 do for you, sir?" "I wish to buy a pair of socks．" His eyes shone．There was a note of excitement in his voice, "Did you know that you had come into the finest place in the world to buy socks?"

"Hold on, lad, I am going to buy only one pair!" "1 know that," said he, "but I want you to see how beautiful these are．Aren't they wonderful!" There was on his face an expression of seriousness and pride and delight as if he were showing to me the secrets of his religion．I became far more interested in him than in the socks．I looked at him in amazement．"My friend," said I, "if you can keep this up, if this is not merely from having a new job, if you can keep up this high spirit and excitement day after day, in ten years you will own every sock in the United States．"
