Run for Class President

Two months ago, when our class election(選舉) started, I decided to run for class president. I enjoyed speaking in public and got along well with people, so I felt it easy to win. But I was     13   that people would feel bad for me if I lost.

I was busy preparing in the following week. My plan wasn’t to make promises to do things I couldn’t    14    but to show my class why I wanted to be president. I put up my posters in hallways and in the classroom. I also spent three hours writing my speech, saying that I was the one they could turn to whenever they had a problem. Since I was     15   prepared, I felt that my chances of winning were strong.

However, when I gave my speech on Election Day, the response (反應) wasn’t what I had    16   . Few people actually listened. When it was my opponent’s (對手的)turn, everyone was screaming his name. His speech was short, but all to the point. By then, I realized I should have made mine shorter and clearer.

It was obvious who would     17   . For the rest of the day, I felt like it was over. I wanted to just go home and cry, but I made it through.

My    18    was right: I didn’t win.

The next day, people were still talking about the election. I just pretended (假裝) not to hear. But later, things got better. People     19   about the election and talked to me just as they did before.

I don’t regret putting time and energy into the election because I’ve learned that things aren’t always going the way I expect. And moments of failure like this build    20    —since then I’ve learned to face disappointment and grown stronger.

【解析】

這篇短文中作者記敘了兩個月前他參加競選班長的經歷，他爲了這個競選做了充分的準備，以爲勝券在握，但事實並非如此，他的競爭對手最後贏得了競選。透過這件事作者學到了很多，他並不後悔爲此付出的精力和時間，經歷失敗會讓他變得更加堅強。

13．句意：但是我害怕如果我輸了，人們會爲我難過。考查形容詞辨析，bored感到無聊的；afraid害怕的；excited興奮的；hopeful有希望的。根據上句話I enjoyed speaking in public and got along well with people, so I felt it easy to win.和句中…that people would feel bad for me if I lost.可知，作者自己感覺沒什麼，但是“害怕人們會爲他難過”，故應選B。

14．句意：我的計劃不是承諾去做我無法做到的事情，而是向全班展示我爲什麼想要成爲班長。考查動詞辨析，compare對比；remember記得，記住；manage設法做到，管理；repeat重複。根據句意My plan wasn’t to make promises to do things…可知，作者不承諾去做自己做不到的事情，故應選C。

15．句意：既然我做了充分的準備，我感覺我獲勝的機會非常大。考查副詞辨析，fully充分地；quickly快速地；freshly新近，氣味清新地；physically身體上地。根據上文I put up my posters in hallways and in the classroom. I also spent three hours writing my speech, saying that I was the one they could turn to whenever they had a problem可知，作者爲競選做了充分的準備。故應選A。

16．句意：然而，當我在選舉日那天做演講的時候，得到的迴應與我想象的不同。考查動詞辨析，feared畏懼，害怕；faced面對；mentioned提到，提及；pictured想象。根據句意可知，現場的反應與作者想象的是不同的。故應選D。

17．句意：誰會贏是很明顯的。考查動詞辨析，insist堅持；return歸還，回來；wait等待；win贏。根據文意和下文My ___6___ was right: I didn’t win.可知，作者在參加一個班長的競選，因此這裏應表示“贏得競選”，故應選D。

18．句意：我的預測是對的：我沒有贏。考查名詞辨析，suggestion建議；prediction預測；direction方向；introduction介紹。根據上文It was obvious who would  ___5___. For the rest of the day, I felt like it was over. I wanted to just go home and cry, but I made it through.可知，作者已經猜到了誰會贏得這次競選。故這裏應表示“我的預測是對的”，選B。

19．句意：人們忘記了選舉的事，像以前一樣和我說話。考查動詞辨析，forgot忘記；wrote寫；cared關心，在乎；discussed討論。根據語境But later, things got better. …and talked to me just as they did before.可知，後來人們就慢慢忘記了競選的事，又和以前一樣了。故應選A。

20．句意：像這樣的失敗的時刻會塑造*格—從那以後，我學會了面對失望，變得更加堅強。考查名詞辨析。trust相信，信任；pride驕傲；character*格；support支援。根據空後since then I’ve learned to face disappointment and grown stronger.可知，經歷失敗，作者變得更加堅強，所以失敗的經歷能塑造*格。故應選C。

【點睛】

這是一篇記敘文，短文作者記敘了自己參加競選班長的經歷，短文按照時間順序記敘，敘述清晰、完整，最後點明瞭自己從這次經歷中學到的東西。內容貼近學生們的日常生活，比較容易理解。題型是完形填空，考查學生們在具體語境中運用語言的能力，綜合*較強。做題時，應先通讀短文，瞭解大意；然後根據上下文語境做題，先易後難，注意空前後的固定搭配，並仔細辨析選項中每個單詞的意思和用法；最後將*代入原文，再讀一遍，檢查*是否正確。例如第4小題，考查動詞辨析，feared畏懼，害怕；faced面對；mentioned提到，提及；pictured想象。根據句意可知，現場的反應與作者想象的是不同的。故應選D。這個題目學生們要特別注意picture這個詞作動詞的意思，因爲學生們對這個詞主要記住的是名詞的意思。再如第6小題，考查名詞辨析，suggestion建議；prediction預測；direction方向；introduction介紹。根據上文It was obvious who would  ___5___. For the rest of the day, I felt like it was over. I wanted to just go home and cry, but I made it through.可知，作者已經猜到了誰會贏得這次競選。故這裏應表示“我的預測是對的”，選B。
