【解析】自我反省，就是指使自己停止冲动，并使自己冷静下来，这样大脑才能思考已接受的信息。自我反思是一个成功的学生的基本技能。

1. 考查形容词性物主代词的辨析。our“我们的”，your“你（们）的”，their“他们的”，its“它的”。主语是some people，因此C项符合题意。句意为“有些人更喜欢在他们的内心里自我评价……”。故选C。

2.考查名词及语境理解。promise“承诺”；profile“侧面”；program“节目”；process“过程”。句意为“不管是书面的还是纯心理的，反思的过程是相同的”。结合句意，故选D。

3.考查形容词及语境理解。学校教材通常分成学习单元，这可以使想开始自我反思过程的人起步更容易。结合句意，故选A。

4.考查名词及语境理解。question“问题”；subject“科目”；certificate“证书”；activity“活动”。由下文的math，science，art，or any other topic可知subjects正确。故选B。

5.考查连词及语境理解。句意为“有时会提醒你本单元结束了，因为有某种测试”。用because引导原因状语从句。故选B。

6.考查动词及语境理解。pass“传递”；lose“丢失”；find“找到”；refuse“拒绝”。由下文可知此处意为“找一个安静的地方”。故选C。

7.考查副词及语境理解。still“仍然”；seldom“很少”；almost“几乎，差不多”；never“永不，从不”。句意为“这甚至可以是坐在学校里你的桌子旁，当你早完成了某件事，其他学生仍然在做时”。结合句意，故选A。

8.考查名词及语境理解。evidence“证据”；answers“答案”；mistakes“错误”；notes“笔记”。由前面If you are going to take notes可知此处填notes。故选D。

9.考查短语及语境理解。on time“准时”；for example“例如”；right now“立刻”；in all“总计”。“也许你学会了一种解决数学问题的新方法，但你不确定何时使用”是对前句“下一步，考虑你依然感到疑惑的问题”的举例说明。故B项正确。

10.考查动词及语境理解。stop“停止”；decide“决定”；forget“忘记”；continue“继续”。句意为“写下你的问题将有助于你下次碰到相同题目时记得继续寻求答案”。结合句意，故选D。

点睛：上下文的关系及上下句的联系是设空题判断的依据。如：4题，根据下文的math，science，art，or any other topic可知subjects正确。8题，由前面If you are going to take notes可知Write down some ___8___ on things that you learned in this unit that you did not know before you began.填notes。9题，“也许你学会了一种解决数学问题的新方法，但你不确定何时使用”是对前句“下一步，考虑你依然感到疑惑的问题”的举例说明。所以我们在做题时除了整体把握短文大意外，还要要仔细揣摩上下文的关系及前后句的联系，这样才能做出准确判断。
