【解析】

文章大意：本文主要講作者喜歡Kathy，做事情總是模仿她，偶爾聽到Kathy和其他女孩的對話，才知道Kathy并未當自己是朋友，在媽媽的建議下作者做出改變，做回了自己。

【1】句意：我仰慕她。

looked after照顧；looked for尋找；looked up to仰慕。根據下文“I listened to the music she listened to, wore the clothes she wore …”可知作者總是模仿Kathy，由此推出她仰慕Kathy。故選C。

【2】句意：在我說話之前，我意識到了它們正在談論什么。

thinking about思考；talking about談論；caring about關心。根據下文中女孩們的對話，可知她們正在談論。故選B。

【3】句意：我無聲地聽著。

quickly快速地；silently沉默地；excitedly興奮地。根據上文中“Before I could say a word, I realized what they were ____.”及下文女孩們說話時并未意識到作者在，可推出作者沒有出聲，用silently符合題意。故選B。

【4】句意：曾經熟悉的聲音聽起來如此冷酷和陌生。

cool酷的；special特殊的；cold冷酷的。根據上文中Kathy的話“I wish she would leave us alone.”及下文中“I couldn’t help crying sadly. I felt heart-broken for the first time.”可知Kathy的聲音聽起來是冷酷傷人的。故選C。

【5】句意：我雙手顫抖。

shaking抖動，顫抖；hurting受傷；moving移動。根據下文中“I couldn’t help crying sadly. I felt heart-broken for the first time.”可知作者受到了刺激，由此推出此處是說“我雙手顫抖”。故選A。

【6】句意：她給我的建議如此簡單，我已經聽過一百萬次了。

different不同的；simple簡單的；useful有用的。根據空后“and I had heard it a million times”可知媽媽給的建議作者已經聽過很多次了，由此可知是簡單的。故選B。

【7】句意：做自己，人們會喜歡真實的你。

what什么；how如何；who誰。根據題干“Just be yourself and people will like you for ____ you are.”可知此處說的是“因為你是誰而喜歡你”，用who符合題意。故選C。

【8】句意：我不在和她們去上藝術課，而是上了戲劇課。

dance跳舞；science科學；drama戲劇。根據上文“I even took art class though I had really wanted to take drama”可知作者做出改變后遵循內心意愿去上戲劇課了。故選C。

【9】句意：我形成了自己的觀點，再也沒有隨波逐流。

opinions觀點；habits習慣；positions位置。根據題干中“never again followed the crowd”可推出作者有了自己的觀點。故選A。

【10】句意：盡管那天我感覺很痛苦，但那是她們給我的一份禮物。

gift禮物；choice選擇；honor榮譽。根據上文中“When I look back, I think it was the year when I discovered the person I was going to be.”可知這件事使作者變得更好，由此可推出此處是說“那是她們給我的一份禮物”。故選A。
