【解析】

這是一篇演講稿，愛瑪�？怂篂榱藢W(xué)生會選舉而呼吁大家給她投票。她對學(xué)校了解，有好的點子，善于溝通交流而且人可信誠實。

【1】

句意：自從7歲我就進(jìn)了這個學(xué)校因此我在意這兒發(fā)生的一切。

hear聽到；care關(guān)心，在意；argue爭吵；explain解釋。根據(jù)“a lot about”可知此處用動詞短語care about表示“在意”。故選B。

【2】

句意：我認(rèn)為我們可以一起做一些改變使每個人受益。

changes改變；notes筆記；effort努力；progress進(jìn)步。根據(jù)“Have you ever wondered what PE lessons would be like if the equipment we had was even better”可知此處講的是做一些改變，用名詞changes。故選A。

【3】

句意：那么如果你將要選擇把你在學(xué)�；I集的錢如何花費(fèi)？

show展示；realize意識到；find發(fā)現(xiàn)；choose選擇。根據(jù)后文“I plan to arrange new and exciting fundraising opportunities and then ask you – the children – what we should spend our money on to make sure we have the best equipment possible”可知此處提問是詢問如何選擇花費(fèi)錢的問題。故選D。

【4】

句意：我擅長和成年人談話，從我的學(xué)校報告就可以看出來。

afraid of害怕；good at擅長；worried about擔(dān)心；responsible for負(fù)責(zé)任。根據(jù)“I have lots of friends and I talk to lots of people”可知此處指的是擅長和成年人打交道，用be good at。故選B。

【5】

句意：另外，我是值得信任的和誠實的。

for example例如；in brief簡要地說；in addition另外；on the other hand另一方面。根據(jù)“I am trustworthy and honest”可知是對上文講述的個人的良好品質(zhì)的進(jìn)一步說明，用in addition。故選C。

【6】

句意：我已經(jīng)解釋了為什么我肯定是這個職位的最好候選人。

finally最后；directly直接地；mainly主要地；certainly肯定地。這是演講的結(jié)尾，總結(jié)了前文內(nèi)容再一次肯定地說明自己就是這個職位的候選人，用副詞certainly。故選D。
