I used to hate being called upon in class

题目内容：

I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like attention drawn to myself. And 1otherwise assignen（指定）a seat by the teacher, I always 2to sit at the back of the classroom.

All this 3after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy 4because I didn’t have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the 5to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “ 6for it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give a try.

Getting up t he courage to go to the tryouts was only the 7of it! When I first started 8

the practice sessions, I didn’t even know the rules of the game, much 9what I was doing. Sometimes I’d get 10and take a shot at the wrong direction—which made me feel really stupid. 11, I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to 12on learning the game, do my best at each prctice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t 13“just yet”.

I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the 14and the “moves”. Being part of a team was fun and moticating. Very soon the competitive 15in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the 16— friends who respect my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!

With my 17self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone from “18”in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself, 19

raising my hand — even when I sometimes wasn’t and not 100 percent 20I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.

小题2:

小题3:

考查动词，根据文章叙述，在参加了运动队后我之前的状况显然是改变了。选择B。

小题4:考查名词，老师建议我参加篮球队这显然是一个想法，而我认为这很疯狂。

小题5:考查名词，与其他人保持同步这是我的一种“能力”的体现，这与“权利”、“机会”或者“耐心”没有任何关联。

小题6:

小题12:考查动词，该动词与介词on构成词组修饰后句“学习打球”。

小题13:考查动词，修饰后句“just yet”（恰好现在），那么我不满现状而加倍努力训练，现在又说恰好现在的状态我不对自己太过苛责，那么首先可排除“支持”，无关选项；而因为我在发奋努力训练，现在“想要”或者“支持”的东西自然是要严格要求的，那么排除A、B，最终选择D，不对自己恰在此时知道的东西过多苛责。

小题14:
