My name is Chelsea Chowderhead. Chowder is a kind of soup. I was     a lot because of my last name as soon as I started school. So when my family moved to Washington, I asked my dad if I could change my    .

“You shouldn’t change who you are. Let people get to know     first and the name later. When you meet someone      , ask him a good question, something you’re really interested in.   people start talking about themselves, they don’t judge you.” I went to my new school. At lunch, I found that there were twin brothers. I remembered my dad’s     , so I decided to try.

“What’s it like being a twin?” I asked.

They looked     . Then one said, “No one has ever asked us that!”

“Most of the time it’s good,” the other said.

Soon we were     and talking. Then one said, “I’m Nicholas, and this is my brother, Nathaniel. What’s your name?”

I took a deep breath and said, “I’m Chelsea Chowderhead.”

“Chowder?  9 the soup?” asked Nathaniel.

“Yes,” I replied,      down.

【解析】

试题分析：作者因为名字和一种汤的名字一样经常受到嘲笑。所以家搬到华盛顿时，问父亲自己是否可以改名字。父亲说不能，父亲建议他先让别人了解他的人再知道名字，刚遇到某个人时先问对方一个好的、感兴趣的问题，当人们开始谈论自己时就不会评判你。作者到新学校遇到一对双胞胎，尝试了父亲说的方法。后来和他们成了朋友。

1.考查动词词组辨析及对语境的理解。由上句可知作者的名字是一种汤名，从下句作者向父亲提出要改名，可知作者曾因名字受到过嘲笑，所以此处选D。

2.考查名词辨析及对语境的理解。根据下文父亲的话可知作者是想改名。故选B

3.考查人称代词辨析及对语境的理解。由本小题的前一句可知父亲在和作者直接对话，所以选D，指代作者。

4.考查形容词辨析及对语境的理解。由第一段可知作者刚刚搬家，会遇到一些以前没见过的人，所以选A。

5.考查连词辨析及对语境的理解。本小题考查连词，由下文作者先聊天后告诉名字的情节可以推断出，在对方谈论自己的时候，不会评判人，所以选B。

6.考查名词辨析及对语境的理解。由上文可知，在作者进入新学校之前，父亲给作者说的话是一些建议，所以选C。

7.考查形容词辨析及对语境的理解。由本小题后面的No one has ever asked us that可知这对双胞胎对作者的问题感到惊讶(surprised)。所以选D

8.考查动词辨析及对语境的理解。由下文作者和双胞胎相处融洽可以推断出他们的交谈应该也是愉悦的，laughing符合此语境。所以选B

9.考查介词辨析及对语境的理解。由首段可知作者的名字是个汤名，此处Nathaniel就是确认作者的名字是否是汤名，所以选C。

10.考查动词辨析及对语境的理解。作者因为自己的名字曾受过嘲笑，所以告诉Nathaniel自己的名字后以为会遭到嘲笑，所以低下了头(looking down)。

考点：故事类阅读。故选C
