作者讲述了一位著名的演说家所说的话和表演对自己的深远影响。
9.D 推理判断题。
根据第一段的“neveragainseethosepopulargirls,theoneswhodrovequietgirlslikeme”可推测,作者应该是个比较腼腆的女孩。
10.C 推理判断题。
根据第三段Angelou所说的话“Youneedtogetoutthereandlive.”和下文作者在观众席坐下来可知,Angelou希望作者把时间用在该用的地方,应该去看表演而不是看衣服。
11.B 细节理解题。
根据倒数第二段的“IwishIcouldsay...humancontact.”可知,作者刚毕业时,并未因Angelou的话而改变,还是把自己封闭起来。
12.A 标题归纳题。
根据第三段Angelou所说的话“Youneedtogetoutthereandlive.”和文章结尾“Igetouttherenowandlive.”可知,A项作标题表现出Angelou对本文作者的影响以及作者自身的改变,非常贴切。
