【解析】

试题分析：试题分析：这篇短文作者主要介绍了自己参加学生会主席的选举失败后，加入了杰夫的团队继续发挥自己作用的故事。从而告诉我们，只有对其它人的生活产生影响才是对自己真正的奖励。

1.1】考查语境理解及动词的运用. Heard听说，听见；chosen选择；invited邀请；followed跟随，追随。联系上下文，由上文给出the last candidate(候选人) ，可知下文对应的动词应该是 be chosen。

2.2】考查语境理解及形容词。Polite有礼貌的；loud大声的；warm 温暖的；cheerful快乐的，高兴的。联系上下文，由本段出现的第一个形容词usual 来判断作者的感情色彩是平淡的，故排除B. loud和D. cheerful选项，再由to my surprise 来判断，作者与Jeff的关系不是非常亲密所以排除C warm选项。

3.3】考查语境理解及形容词辨析。Proud骄傲的；quick快速的；nervous紧张的；regretful 感激的。Jeff表现得比较紧张，所以答案选择nervously。

4.4】考查语境理解及代词的运用。Them他们；him他；me我；us我们。联系上下文主语都是I，所以答案选择me。

5.5】考查语境理解及动词辨析。Print打印；invent发明；create创造；send发送。由于当时advertisement 已经存在，可以排除invent；在剩下的选项中，我们进行个排序就会发现：第一步 create ；第二步print ；第三步：send 。这正好与上文提到first goal相呼应，所以答案选择C。

6.6】考查语境理解及介词搭配。for 为了，对于；from 从，来自；with带有，伴随；without没有。最能凸显出 poster 效果的介词是without，否定介词与前面的no相呼应，双重否定表肯定。

7.7】考查语境理解及动词短语辨析，carry out 实施， try out 尝试， work out 解决 find out 找出（事实），查明（真相），结合上下文，wanted a chess club and a volleyball team,下文的 collect information可以得出答案是D。

8.8】考查语境理解及动词辨析。Agreed同意；wanted 想要；expected希望，盼望；asked问。联系上下文可以知道：校长同意了（agree）我们的提议。故选A。

9.9】考查语境理解及形容词辨析。Proud骄傲的；surprised吃惊的；patient 耐心的；hopeful有希望的。联系上下文，我和Jeff的工作得到了他人的认可，心中感到自豪和满足，故答案选择A。

10.10】考查语境理解及名词。Luck幸运；spirit精神；life生活；success成功。联系上下文，由上文提到the most popular …那么用下列四个词概括下就是Jeff的成功，故答案选择D。

考点：考查故事类短文
