certain    we    confident    something    communication

     How can we practice our spoken English ? The first and the most important thing is to believe yourself . You should always be full of   1  . You should often encourage yourself. “Come on , don’t be afraid !” You should never lose heart and never give up.
Maybe you are afraid of losing face, but you should think since we are students and we are learning, there is no need to worry about   2  . We must always be active in practice. We should    3   with our classmates as often as possible in English. We must know that the main way to study English is that we should make   4   understood. We should believe that native speakers will not laugh at us, instead they will encourage us. So if we are brave enough, we’ll   5  make much progress in our spoken English. Don’t be shy or afraid! Just have a try.
(B)
People started wearing clothes to protect themselves from the sun, wind, rain and cold. People said that many years ago the first kind of clothes were made of animal skins. Today we use different materials.
But clothes do more than keep us warm. Our clothes can also tell about who we are, our culture, life and hobbies. For example, if we like to wear yellow or pink clothes, we are usually active and easy--going. If we like black and blue, we may be quiet people. As a middle school student, we often wear the school clothes. Someone who works in a bank may wear a suit every day.

试题分析：
小题1:联系上文描述，可知此处指的是你应该总是充满自信，结合所给单词，可知填confidence，自信。抽象名词不可数，故用原形即可。
小题2:联系下文描述，可知此处指的是我们没有必要为任何事担心，结合所给单词，可知填anything，任何事。
小题3:联系下文，可知此处指的是和我们的同学用英语交流。结合所给单词及前文情态动词should，可知填原形动词communicate，交流。
小题4:联系上下文，可知此处指的是让我们自己理解，结合所给单词，可知填we的反身代词形式ourselves，我们自己。
小题5:联系上文描述，可知此处指的是我们肯定能在英语口语方面取得巨大进步。结合语境及所给单词，可知填副词certainly，确定地，作状语。
小题6:根据解释：教育，地区文化等等。结合首字母可知指的是文化，故填：culture
小题7:根据解释充满行动，结合首字母可知填：active积极的，主动的。
小题8:主动句式改为被动句式。根据上文可知句子时态为一般过去时态，主语it为单数第三人称，故用is的过去式was。
小题9:结合第八小题，可知被动语态中要将原先的谓语动词改为过去分词，故填said/reported，说/报道。
小题10:根据最后一段If we like black and blue, we may be quiet people. 描述，可知答：Quiet people
点评：选词填空一直是英语考试中的难点，得分率比较低。解答此类题型的方法一般就是根据文章前后句子之间意思推断出词义，结合所给单词判断出所缺单词，然后根据该单词在句子中的句子成分，所起作用，进行适当词形变化。另外，此类题型也适用于排除法。即先完成较为简单的选项，将一时没有把握的选项留待最后再来完成。
