【解析】

他的父母希望他在美国有一个更好的未来，作者从印度转学到美国。本文介绍了作者去美国学校的第一天，面对全新的学校和不同的教学和生活方式，作者要克服很多困难。虽然第一天很多事都感觉很困惑，但是作者已经开始期待第二天啦。

【1】句意：在第一天，我已经感觉很困惑，因为在印度老师会根据时期不同而改变，因此大多数学生都有相同的时期，不是在这完全不一样。

typical典型的；difficult困难的；different不同的；strange奇怪的。根据but可知，but连接的句子与前面的句子是转折关系，因此可推断此空是与same“一样”相对的different“不同的”。故选C。

【2】句意：一方面很焦虑，另一方面恐惧，我慢慢地打开门。

proudly傲慢地；slowly慢慢地；eagerly急切地；easily轻易地。根据anxiety和fear两种心情，可推断我是“慢慢地”打开门。故选B。

【3】句意：他的声音安慰了我一些。

surprised使惊奇；interrupted打断；comforted安慰；reminded提醒。根据之前提到的作者的心情是焦虑和害怕的，可以推断With a soft voice老师用一个温柔的声音，会让我的心情好一些，安慰我。故选C。

【4】句意：我实际上不想选座位。

take拿；pick挑选；own拥有；mark标记。根据Then he asked me to choose a seat.可知老师让我自己选择一个座位，因此此空的意思为“挑选；选择”。故选B。

【5】句意：我很困惑去哪个楼，但是我设法做到不问别人而到达教室。

expected盼望；promised承诺；refused拒绝；managed设法做到。but连接转折关系的句子，根据上一句可知我并不知道去哪个楼上，但是我尽量做到不问别人到教室。结合句意可知选D。

【6】句意：然后我选了一个座位坐下，等待开始上课。

class上课；bell铃声；lunch午餐；break休息。根据The bell rang and I entered my next class.可知铃响了，我去了我下个教室，可以推测我坐在座位上等待上课。故选A。

【7】句意：我没说一句话，朝餐厅走去。

hoped希望；changed改变；headed朝向；freed解放。head to表示“朝某地走去”。故选C。

【8】句意：每一个困惑都像是一个我不得不完成的困难，以达到我的目标。

level水平；field领域；point要点；goal目标。reach…goal表示“达到目标”，并结合句意可知选D。
