Question

“I can’t believe what I’m hearing! ”I thought to myself. Jeff was the last candidate（候選人）for president of Student Union. I really thought I should be chosen.

Later that day, I happened to pass Jeff in the dining room. I offered       a polite “Congratulations” and walked to my usual table. To my      , Jeff came to me and put his plate beside mine.

“I’m, er-I’m just wondering if you would consider coming to work on my team, ”he said nervously. “You are really       and you would be a great partner.”

“I don’t think so,” I replied, feeling unsure.

“Well,       you change your mind, you can tell me tomorrow. ”He said before moving to another table.

All that night, I thought about the       from Jeff. Maybe being a part of the election process（選舉過程）would give me a chance to make important changes at our school. I decided to       Jeff.

      of all, I began to create a catchy advertisement. Within a few days, we       a poster with Jeff’s showing him in a number of activities. No one could walk through any hallway       passing Jeff’s smiling face.

My next step was to       what new activities students would like to have at our school. Many of them wanted a chess club and a volleyball team.

With the information I had collected, Jeff met with the headmaster. The headmaster agreed to add       we want to our school program.

With my help, Jeff and our ideas were well received at school.

An eighth grader said, “      will be exciting to have Jeff as president.”

      these words made my heart filled with pride. I had wanted to become president of Student Union to make a difference. Now I achieved that. Jeff became the most popular candidate and I was a large part of his      . The fact that it has made a       in other people’s lives is the real prize. What a great feeling!

1.考查代詞及語境的理解。句意：我向他禮貌的說了聲“祝賀你”然后走向了我經常去做的桌子。這里的him指的是Jeff。因為他成為了學生會主席的候選人，我向他表示祝賀。故選B。

2.考查名詞及語境的理解。句意：令我感到驚奇的是，Jeff走到我的桌子邊，把他的盤子放在我的旁邊。to one’s surprise 令某人驚奇的是，是一個固定短語。luck  運氣；fun樂趣，玩笑； love愛。我和Jeff是競爭對手，但Jeff現(xiàn)在主動來找我，讓我很驚奇。故選A。

3.考查形容詞及語境的理解。句意：你真的很聰明，是一個好的伙伴。tired 疲倦的；happy 開心的；smart 聰明的；busy忙的。根據(jù)句意Jeff主動邀請我參加他的團隊，他認為我很聰明，能夠幫到他，故選C。

4.考查連詞及語境的理解。句意：如果你改變主意了，明天你可以給我打電話。if 如果；because 因為；after 在…之后；while當…時候。根據(jù)句意，我拒絕了Jeff的邀請，但是Jeff仍然沒有死心，根據(jù)句意，選A。

6.考查動詞及語境的理解。句意：或許參加選舉活動會給我一個在學校里做出重要改變的機會，所以我覺得加入Jeff的團隊。refuse 拒絕；leave 離開；agree 同意；join參加，加入。有下文可知我接受了Jeff的提議，故A不對；agree 表示同意某人時應用agree with sb.這個短語。B意思不符合文意，故選D。
