第二节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）

请认真阅读下面各题，从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like attention drawn to myself. And 46 otherwise assigned（指定）a seat by the teacher, I always 47 to sit at the back of the classroom.

All this 48 after 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 49 because I didn’t have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the 50 to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “ 51 for it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give a try.

Getting up the 52 to go to the tryouts was only the half of it! When I first started 53 the practice sessions, I didn’t even know the rules of the game, much 54 what I was doing. Sometimes I’d get 55 and take a shot at the wrong direction—which made me feel really stupid. 56 , I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to 57 on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t 58 “just yet”.

I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the 59 and the “moves”. Being part of a team was fun and motivating. Very soon the competitive 60 in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the 61 — friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!

With my 62 self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone from “63” in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself, 64 raising my hand— even when I sometimes wasn’t and not 100 percent 65 I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.

46. A. as B. unless C. until D. though

47. A. chose B. agreed C. meant D. hoped

48. A. continued B. settled C. changed D. started

49. A. saying B. plan C.belief D. idea
