Ⅲ.阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
(A)
IMAGINE that you are in school, giving a speech to your class.
Now think what it feels like when stammering(口吃) makes it a struggle to communicate your thoughts and feelings to other people.
The King’s Speech, which won the best picture at
the Academy Awards, highlights(突出) stammering along with other speech-related problems. The movie tells the story of Britain’s King George Ⅵ, who became king after his brother Edward Ⅷ gave up the throne to marry a divorced American woman.
As a result of British actor Colin Firth’s performance, people are starting to

realize that stammering can damage a person’s self-confidence and cause him/her to withdraw from life.
“The problem is unseen and unheard,” said Norbert Lieckfeldt, chief executive of the British Stammering Association, in an interview with The Guardian newspaper.
“Stammering masks(遮盖) your ability,” he said, “It’s a serious disability(残疾).”
Most stammerers face being bullied(欺负) in school, something that is “usually carried over into the workplace”.
George Ⅵ’s stammer took away his confidence as a speaker. But Samantha Mesango, a speech coach based in the UK, believes that speech problems are more common than most people realize. “Some simply don’t like the sound of their own voice; others are scared stiff of speaking in public,” she said.
Travis Treats, chair of Saint Louis University’s department of communication sciences in the US, praised The King’s Speech. He said it showed that “how one’s speech is does not define what one is inside”.
Treats added that people who stammer need to be heard and society should recognize that they have a lot to give to the world.
36. What is the point of the first two paragraphs? A. To tell readers about speech making. B. To show how harmful a stammer is.
C. To draw the attention of readers to the problem of a stammer. D. To show how a stammer makes a person popular. 37. According to the article, King George Ⅵ _____. A. was a hero during World War Ⅱ B. took the place of his brother C. married a divorced American woman D. was a failure because of his stammer
38. What is Norbert Lieckfeldt’s view of the challenge of a stammer? A. A stammer can destroy a person’s self-confidence.
B. A stammer is a serious problem for many people but it is often ignored. C. People who stammer need to have their own voice. D. People who stammer do better in work than in school.
