二、Sally第二天就要去新学校。请阅读短文，用方框中所给单词或短语的适当形式填空。每个单词或短语限用一次。
show interest in nervous
pay attention to sincere
argue with offer polite
Tomorrow is my first day at the new school. I'm feeling a little 1. . I'm worried about whether I can get along well with my teachers and classmates. My mum noticed my anxiety(焦虑)and gave me some advice.
“First, be 2. when you talk to people. If you're impolite, they'll feel uncomfortable around you. Second, always be 3. in your words and actions. People can tell if you're honest or not,” she said. She also told me to 4. what others are saying. “If you listen carefully, you'll show that you're interested in them,” she explained. “Another important thing is to 5. help when someone is in need. If you often help others, they'll remember your kindness,” she added. Finally, she reminded me not to 6. others, even if I disagree with them. “It may hurt the relationship between you and them.”
After listening to my mum's advice, I felt more confident. I realized that being polite, sincere, and kind, as well as 7. others can make a big difference. I'm ready to start my new school life and make new friends!

【分析】
本题为英语词汇适当形式填空题，解题思路为：首先通读短文，把握“新学校第一天的心理及妈妈的建议”这一主旨；其次结合每个空的上下文语义、语法搭配，匹配方框内的词汇；最后注意词汇的形式变化（如第7空需与前面的being结构并列，用动名词形式）。
【解析】
1. 由前文“第一天去新学校”及后文“担心相处”可知，此处表示“有点紧张”，故填nervous；
2. 由后文“如果不礼貌会让人不舒服”可知，此处表示“要礼貌”，故填polite；
3. 由后文“是否诚实”可知，此处表示“言行要真诚”，故填sincere；
4. 由后文“仔细听别人说”可知，此处表示“注意别人的话”，故填pay attention to；
5. 由后文“别人需要帮助时”可知，此处表示“提供帮助”，故填offer；
6. 由后文“即使不同意也不要伤害关系”可知，此处表示“不要和别人争论”，故填argue with；
7. 由前文“being polite, sincere, and kind”及并列结构可知，此处需用动名词形式，故将show interest in变为showing interest in。
【答案】
1. nervous
2. polite
3. sincere
4. pay attention to
5. offer
