【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。

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。

(2013·高考山东卷，D)Sparrow is a fast?food chain with 200 restaurants.Some years ago，the group to which Sparrow belonged was taken over by another company.Although Sparrow showed no sign of declining，the chain was generally in an unhealthy state.With more and more fast?food concepts reaching the market，the Sparrow menu had to struggle for attention.And to make matters worse，its new owner had no plans to give it the funds it required.

Sparrow failed to grow for another two years，until a new CEO，Carl Pearson，decided to build up its market share.He did a survey，which showed that consumers who already used Sparrow restaurants were extremely positive about the chain，while customers of other fast?food chains were unwilling to turn away from them.Sparrow had to develop a new promotional campaign.

Pearson faced a battle over the future of the Sparrow brand.The chain’s owner now favored rebranding Sparrow as Marcy’s restaurants.Pearson resisted，arguing for an advertising campaign designed to convince customers that visits to Sparrow restaurants were fun.Such an attempt to establish a positive relationship between a company and the general public was unusual for that time.Pearson strongly believed that numbers were the key to success，rather than customers’ spending power.Finally，the owner accepted his idea.

The campaign itself changed the traditional advertising style of the fast?food industry.The TV ads of Sparrow focused on entertainment and featured original songs performed by a variety of stars.Instead of showing the superiority of a specific product，the intention was to put Sparrow in the hearts of potential customers.

Pearson also made other decisions which he believed would contribute to the new Sparrow image.For example，he offered to lower the rent of any restaurants which achieved a certain increase in their turnover(营业额)．
