【解析】　本文是一篇记叙文。文中作者叙述了自己的变化。开始作者是一个以自我为中心的人，结果她成了孤家寡人。她试着跟同学交流，为他们提供帮助，后来交了一些朋友，其中有两个直到现在还是她最好的朋友。而她态度发生变化的一个较大原因是她跟一位老太太成了朋友。老太太把她当成了自己的女儿，作者与其建立了深厚的友谊。通过这些经历，作者感觉自己比以前好多了，她更喜欢现在的自己。

1.

2.2】解析：选C。联系第一句中的I have really changed 以及下文作者由独自一人到交了朋友，由以自我为中心，到变成了一个帮助别人的人，可知作者发生了很大变化，因此可知作者很高兴自己变成了一个和以前不一样的人，故用different。famous“著名的；出名的”，simple“简单的；朴素的”，skilled“有技能的；熟练的”，均与语境不符。

3.3】解析：选D。联系第一句中的changed以及下文所描述的作者发生的变化，可知作者的“变化”开始于上大学时。

4.4】解析：选C。因为作者是在大学里，她想得到的当然是学位。balance“平衡”，homework“家庭作业”，interest“兴趣，爱好”，均与语境不符。

5.5】解析：选A。联系39空后的be left alone，以及41空后的“除了我似乎别人都交了朋友，都过得很愉快”，可知作者独自一人，几乎不跟别人“说话”。

6.6】解析：选B。联系此空后的“除了我，似乎别人都交了朋友，都过得很愉快”，可知作者确实很孤独，没有人与她交往。careful“仔细的；细心的”，curious“好奇的”，guilty“内疚的；有罪的”，均与语境不符。

7.7】解析：选C。联系空后的“我”开始问周围的人过得怎么样，问他们是否需要帮助，可知作者在试着与别人交流。experiment 在本句中意为“尝试”。argument“争论；辩论”，game“游戏”，defence“防御；护卫”，均与语境不符。

8.8】解析：选B。联系空格前的trouble以及空格后的help，可知作者问别人是否有麻烦，然后“主动提供”帮助。

9.9】解析：选D。联系以前作者不与人说话，宁愿独处，现在开始主动与别人交流并想提供帮助，可知这样做对作者来说已经是迈出了一大“步”。

10.0】解析：选C。联系空格前的several new friends可知作者的两个最好的朋友就在“several new friends”之中，空格处为避免重复，用代词them“他们”代替“several new friends”。

11.1】解析：选A。联系上文的描述，作者主动与人沟通，主动帮助别人，这些显示的都是作者对人、对事的“态度”发生了变化，故此空用attitude。

12.2】解析：选A。联系下文的she thought I was her daughter 可知老太太把作者当成了自己的女儿，可推测作者与这位老太太成了“朋友”。partner “伙伴”，guide“向导”，guest“客人”，均与语境不符。

13.3】解析：选B。联系空格后老太太认为作者是自己的女儿，可知见到作者就很“高兴”。

14.4】解析：选C。联系空格后的“I took her place”可知老太太的亲生女儿从没来“看过”她，visit“拜访”符合语境。

15.5】解析：选D。联系空格后作者的感受“使别人感觉好也就是使自己感觉好”可知这是作者通过这次经历“明白”的一个道理，故用see。本题考查的是熟词新义，see在句中意为“明白”。其他三个选项，explain“解释”，guess “猜”，declare“宣布”，均与语境不符。

16.6】解析：选B。老太太去世，作者肯定会感到很伤心，故选heartbroken“心碎的”。其他三个选项，homeless“无家可归的”，bad?tempered“坏脾气的”，hopeless“无望的”，均与语境不符。

17.7】解析：选C。联系作者在上文的描述，自己交了朋友，也帮助别人，可知作者感觉自己比以前“好”多了。

18.8】解析：选A。作者希望自己不会“忘记”这些经历。其余选项，face“面对”，improve“提高”，analyze“对……进行分析”，均与语境不符。

19.9】解析：选D。这些经历“教会”了作者要更多地关心别人，而不是自己。force“强迫”，prefer“偏爱”，order“命令”，均与语境不符。

20.20】解析：选B。联系第一段中的“I am happy that I am becoming a different person.”可知作者很“喜欢”现在的自己。miss “思念；错过”，wonder“困惑；想知道”，expect“期待；预计”，均与语境不符。
