文章大意：本文主要讲作者喜欢Kathy，做事情总是模仿她，偶尔听到Kathy和其他女孩的对话，才知道Kathy并未当自己是朋友，在妈妈的建议下作者做出改变，做回了自己。

1.句意：我仰慕她。

looked after照顾；looked for寻找；looked up to仰慕。根据下文“I listened to the music she listened to, wore the clothes she wore …”可知作者总是模仿Kathy，由此推出她仰慕Kathy。故选C。

2.句意：在我说话之前，我意识到了它们正在谈论什么。

thinking about思考；talking about谈论；caring about关心。根据下文中女孩们的对话，可知她们正在谈论。故选B。

3.句意：我无声地听着。

quickly快速地；silently沉默地；excitedly兴奋地。根据上文中“Before I could say a word, I realized what they were ____.”及下文女孩们说话时并未意识到作者在，可推出作者没有出声，用silently符合题意。故选B。

4.句意：曾经熟悉的声音听起来如此冷酷和陌生。

cool酷的；special特殊的；cold冷酷的。根据上文中Kathy的话“I wish she would leave us alone.”及下文中“I couldn’t help crying sadly. I felt heart-broken for the first time.”可知Kathy的声音听起来是冷酷伤人的。故选C。

5.句意：我双手颤抖。

shaking抖动，颤抖；hurting受伤；moving移动。根据下文中“I couldn’t help crying sadly. I felt heart-broken for the first time.”可知作者受到了刺激，由此推出此处是说“我双手颤抖”。故选A。

6.句意：她给我的建议如此简单，我已经听过一百万次了。

7.句意：做自己，人们会喜欢真实的你。

what什么；how如何；who谁。根据题干“Just be yourself and people will like you for ____ you are.”可知此处说的是“因为你是谁而喜欢你”，用who符合题意。故选C。

8.句意：我不在和她们去上艺术课，而是上了戏剧课。

dance跳舞；science科学；drama戏剧。根据上文“I even took art class though I had really wanted to take drama”可知作者做出改变后遵循内心意愿去上戏剧课了。故选C。

9.句意：我形成了自己的观点，再也没有随波逐流。
