[答案]

1．site→sites。名词复数误用为单数。site作为可数名词，在此处应用其复数形式，表示各种各样的社会人际关系网站。

[答案]

本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章，叙述了一位刚升入高一的学生由不适应到经过努力而适应的故事。

1．C。考查名词。由前一分句可知Jenna初中毕业了，她准备好迎接高中新的挑战。

2．B。此处表示转折，“然而，高中与初中相当不同”。

3．A。考查形容词。由上一句可知她与一些非常有才能的女孩同台竞争，因此她自知很难被选上。

4．D。考查名词。这是选拔赛，按常理应该是由裁判来宣读参加下一阶段选拔赛的名单。

5．B。考查动词。由下文可知名单宣读完了也没有她的名字，因此推断她一定是心情低落。

6．C。考查形容词。她感到非常糟糕。

7．A。考查动词。but是一个非常重要的信息词，前一分句说她以前非常擅长(做)数学，转折之后肯定是说这会儿她却非常吃力。

8．D。考查动词。由下文that引导的宾语从句可知，她学习英语和历史课程毫无困难，不会觉得像刚才那样焦虑了。relieve-to free from pain, anxiety, or distress“免于(痛苦、焦虑或者苦恼)”。

9．C。考查动词词组辨析。看到自己的优势，感觉好多了，她决定不再担心数学。

10．B。考查名词。由下文12空所在句可知选B。

11．A。考查形容词。Jenna想参与办校报，但Mrs. Biden没有Jenna热心。

12．D。考查名词。Mrs. Biden解释说校报已经有足够的作者了。

13．B。考查副词。遭到了拒绝，Jenna很勉强地笑了笑，然后离开了。

14．C。考查形容词。以前一直顺风顺水的Jenna如今事事都不顺心，因此感到差别是如此之大。

15．D。考查名词。在后来的数学课上，Jenna全身心地做那些曾经给她带来许多麻烦的数学题。

16．C。考查名词。

17．A。考查动词词组辨析。成功后，她决定继续尽力来适应新学校。fit in“适应”；look out“留神，照料”；stay up“不睡觉”；get around“到处走动，传播出去”。

18．B。考查动词。她不知道是否能够成功，但她知道她必须尽力尝试。

19．D。考查介词词组辨析。正如Jenna妈妈所言，“你在高中上学，会感到是小鱼到了大池塘，而不是大鱼进了小池塘。”instead of“代替，而不是……”；in return for“作为对……的报答”；in case of“假设，万一”；in terms of“根据，按照，用……的话，在……方面”。

20．C。考查形容词。这种挑战就是要让自己成为你能成为的最好的鱼。

15．A

14．D。考查短语用法。前三项分别表示“万一”；“既然”；“只要”，均不符合题意。

13．B。由第一空后面的宾语the match可排除A、D两项，win后面可直接跟表示比赛的名词，亦可排除C项；第二空match在此表示“匹配，比得上”。句意：“他赢了那场比赛吗？”“当然了。没有人能比得上他。”

12．A。句意：这次会议很成功。很多人都支持我们的计划。success若用作不可数名词，表示“成功”这一概念，若用作可数名词，则表示“一件成功的事情”，在本句中指the meeting，因此，是可数的。succeed是动词，用作谓语，可排除。

11．A。考查代词用法。it为形式宾语，后面的for sb. to do sth.不定式复合结构为真正宾语。句意：我们应该让我们同宿舍的人晚上10点关灯这件事成为制度。

10．D。该题考查表语从句和固定短语。首先注意reason作主语时，表语从句应由that引导，而非why，可排除B、C两项。break up“拆散”；“打碎”；“分解”等；break down“分解，坏掉，垮下来”。句意：他来晚的原因是车在路上坏了。故D项为正确答案。

9．A。It all depends“那要看情况而定”。

8．A。句意：这项工作需要耐心和技术，因此，你不适合这项工作。
