【分析】本题为词汇运用题，需根据括号内的汉语提示，结合句子结构、语法规则及时态要求，写出正确的英语短语形式。解题思路：1. 先确定每个小题对应的汉语短语；2. 分析短语在句中的语法位置，如介词后需用动名词、时态需匹配时间状语等；3. 调整短语的正确形式，确保符合语境和语法要求。
【解析】1. 句意：Lisa昨天因为和最好的朋友争吵感到抱歉。“与……争吵”对应短语argue with，句中for是介词，后接动词的动名词形式，故填arguing with。2. 句意：我的老师经常鼓励我，渐渐地，我变得更自信。“渐渐地”是固定短语Little by little，作句子状语，符合语境。3. 句意：我不再担心我的成绩了。“担心”对应固定搭配be worried about，句中be动词后接该短语，故填worried about。4. 句意：生活可能有挑战，但有时它带给我们惊喜。“有时，间或”是固定短语at times，作句子状语，符合语境。5. 句意：上个月，妈妈给我买了新衣服和鞋子，因为我长得快还增重了。“增重”对应短语gain weight，由时间状语last month可知需用一般过去时，故填gained weight。
【答案】1. arguing with 2. Little by little 3. worried about 4. at times 5. gained weight
【知识点】动词短语运用、固定搭配、一般过去时
【点评】本题考查初中英语常用短语的运用，涵盖短语形式变化、时态匹配等基础考点，难度适中，适合巩固基础词汇知识。

二、阅读理解。
根据短文内容，从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Maybe each teenager has his or her own set of growing pains. For me, the biggest one was finding my own identity(身份). When I was in Grade Seven, I tried to fit into the middle school life. I saw my classmates dressing in the latest fashion, listening to the same music, and having the same hobby. I wanted to be like them, so I tried to change myself. But the more I tried, the more confused(迷惑) I felt.
One day, I talked to my father about it. He told me a story about a bird. The bird tried to fly like other birds but failed. Because it had a different shape. The bird was sad but it realized that it could glide(滑翔) smoothly in the air, while other birds couldn’t glide. My father said, “Everyone is different from others. You don’t have to be like others. Just discover your differences and find what makes you so special.”
His words made me think. I started to explore my own interests. I discovered that I loved dancing and cooking. I joined the dancing club and the cooking club. From then on, I made new friends. I realized that being myself was the best way to live a meaningful life.
Now, I understand that growing up means finding our own path. It’s okay to be different. In fact, it’s what makes us truly special.
