【解析】

1.本題考查動(dòng)詞的運(yùn)用，聯(lián)系上下文，由上文給出the last candidate(候選人) ，可知下文對(duì)應(yīng)的動(dòng)詞應(yīng)該是 be chosen。

2.本題考查形容詞表感情色彩，聯(lián)系上下文，由本段出現(xiàn)的第一個(gè)形容詞usual 來判斷作者的感情色彩是平淡的，故排除B. loud和D. cheerful選項(xiàng)，再由to my surprise 來判斷，作者與Jeff的關(guān)系不是非常親密所以排除C warm選項(xiàng)。

3.本題是對(duì)副詞的考查，由er，wondering，would...等詞可知，Jeff表現(xiàn)得比較緊張，所以答案選擇nervously。

4.本題考查的是詞語(yǔ)辨析，advice指的是忠告，多指醫(yī)生對(duì)病人，長(zhǎng)輩對(duì)晚輩； message 多指口信，轉(zhuǎn)述客觀事實(shí)且通常不帶有主觀上的感情色彩；chance 最大的干擾選項(xiàng) 因?yàn)橄挛某霈F(xiàn)個(gè)chance ,但是chance表示的一種可能性；抽象名詞 offer 作為名詞表示提議。聯(lián)系上文可知D為最佳答案。

5.本題考查代詞的運(yùn)用，聯(lián)系上下文主語(yǔ)都是I，所以答案選擇me。

6.本題考查動(dòng)詞辨析，由于當(dāng)時(shí)advertisement 已經(jīng)存在，可以排除invent；在剩下的選項(xiàng)中，我們進(jìn)行個(gè)排序就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)：第一步 create ；第二步print ；第三步：send 。這正好與上文提到first goal相呼應(yīng)，所以答案選擇C。

7.本題考查介詞搭配，最能凸顯出 poster 效果的介詞是without，否定介詞與前面的no相呼應(yīng)，雙重否定表肯定。

8.本題考查動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)辨析，carry out 實(shí)施， try out 嘗試， work out 解決 find out 找出（事實(shí)），查明（真相），結(jié)合上下文，wanted a chess club and a volleyball team,下文的 collect information可以得出答案是D。

9.本題考查動(dòng)詞辨析，聯(lián)系上下文可以知道：校長(zhǎng)同意了（agree）我們的提議。

10.本題考查動(dòng)詞的熟詞生義，receive在此表示的是“接納”，并不是我們所熟悉的“收到”。

11.本題考查名詞辨析，聯(lián)系上下文，我和Jeff的工作得到了他人的認(rèn)可，心中感到自豪和滿足，故答案選擇A。

12.本題考查名詞，聯(lián)系上下文，由上文提到the most popular …那么用下列四個(gè)詞概括下就是Jeff的成功，故答案選擇D。
