【解题导语】 本文主要讲述了作者通过一次演讲克服了自己的恐惧心理,增强了自信。
61.terribly 解析:考查副词。修饰形容词一般用副词,故用副词terribly修饰形容词shy,在句中作状语。
62.to prepare 解析:考查非谓语动词。have no choice but to do sth.为固定用法,意为“除了……,别无选择”,符合语境,故此处用不定式形式。
63.which 解析:考查关系词。分析句子结构可知,空处引导非限制性定语从句,并在从句中作主语,指代“to draft the speech”,故填which。
64.lay 解析:考查动词的时态。根据上文中的“was”可知,文中描述的事情发生在过去,此处用一般过去时,故填lay。
65.was forbidden 解析:考查动词的时态和语态。forbid和句子的形式主语it之间是被动关系,且事情发生在过去,故用一般过去时的被动语态。
66.with 解析:考查with复合结构。“with+宾语(名词或代词)+宾补”为独立主格结构。故填with。
67.myself 解析:考查代词。根据语境可知,此处表示“我逐渐找回自己”,应为“found myself back”,故应填反身代词myself。
68.what 解析:考查连接词。分析句子结构可知,空处引导宾语从句,在从句中作主语,表示“……的东西”,故用what引导该宾语从句。
69.confidence 解析:考查词性转换。由空前的形容词性物主代词my可知,此处用名词形式,故填confidence。
70.greatest 解析:考查形容词最高级。根据语境和空前的定冠词the以及空后的名词difficulty可知,此处应用形容词的最高级形式,故填greatest。
