Question

After six months of living in New Zealand, I realized one thing. Despite my  1   for greater contact with local students,  2   I initiated(開始) the contact, it wouldn’t happen. Local students are not interested in contacts with the international students, because they regard us as shy,  3    and sometimes snobby （勢利的） people. Of course we know that’s not true. I want to change their opinions.

After  4     the problem, I put on my “confidence mask” each morning and walked around with a smile on my face. I chatted with people whenever I had the chance. I showed that I was not afraid to  5     them, and that I was worthy of being a friend.

A side-effect of my  6     confidence was that my emotions occasionally broke down Only in the  7     of my room, where no one could see, would I reveal my real emotions. All the rejections, funny looks, and  8     behind my back calling me a weirdo（古怪的人） melted  into tears. Once that was done, I would put on my confidence mask once again and start a new day.

It finally worked  My name became known throughout the school as I appeared to be 9     and active. Slowly, I discovered that I no longer needed to put on my confidence mask. I had real    friends. Instead of dragging myself to school and  10    to be happy, I was truly happy. I could not believe it when I was elected to the student government as Deputy Head boy----the first international student to receive the title.

From my  11     in New Zealand, I believe one thing will always be true: If you try your best to reach your goals, you’ll achieve your  12     dreams.

點評：答題前一定要略讀全文，把握文章要表達的主題，注意前后句與句，段落與段落之間的關(guān)系。答題中，一定要認(rèn)真分析，注意選項與上下文的關(guān)系，與前后單詞的關(guān)系。對于一時沒有太大的把握的題可以放到最后再來完成，因為有時答案可以從下文內(nèi)容體現(xiàn)出來。答完后再通讀一遍文章，看看所選選項能不能是語句通順，語意連貫。
