本文是一篇记叙文，体现了“人与社会”的主题语境。本文主要讲述作者作为一名孤儿，一直不喜欢过中秋节，直到在大学读大一的时候，班里组织活动让大家一起在学校庆祝中秋节，通过这次活动，作者喜欢上了中秋节，也交到了很多朋友，变得更有自信。
1. D 选项：originally起初；immediately立即地；previously先前；horribly非常。由空后的“commercialized”可知，“我”不喜欢中秋节，不是因为它“非常(horribly)”商业化，而是因为“我”是一个孤儿。
2. A 选项：experience经历；atmosphere气氛，氛围；belief信仰，信任；joy高兴，喜悦。由最后一段的“joyful moments and merry atmosphere of that night”以及作者的叙述可知，在读大学的时候，班里组织活动让大家一起在学校庆祝中秋节，通过这次活动，作者喜欢上了中秋节，所以这里应该是作者的一次“经历(experience)”。
3. B 选项：romantic浪漫的；lonely孤独的；capable有能力的；selfish自私的。由上文的“I had little in common with my classmates”可知，和同学没有什么共同之处，所以“我”感到“孤独的(lonely)”。
4. D 选项：disappearing消失；harvesting收获；passing过去；approaching靠近。由空后的“my class decided to hold a Middle-Autumn Festival Eve Party”可知，随着中秋节的“临近(approaching)”，作者的班级决定举办一个中秋节前夕晚会。
5. A 选项：significant意义重大的；inner内部的，内心的；medium中等的；autonomous自治的。由下文的“On that day, we dressed up in beautiful custume”“fancy lanterns”及常识可知，中秋节对他们来说是一个“意义重大的(significant)”时刻。
6. C 选项：church教堂；wedding婚礼；classroom教室；branch分支，分店。由空后的“together”和下一句的“To be frank, seeing the classroom 7 with fancy lanterns”，他们都穿着漂亮的服装，出发去“教室”集合，classroom属于原词复现。
7. B 选项：awarded授予；decorated装饰；removed移除；observed观察。根据空后的“with fancy lanterns”及常识可知，中秋节对他们来说是一个意义重大的时刻，为了庆祝中秋节，他们的教室里应该是“装饰(decorated)”着精致的灯笼。
8. D 选项：rolled(使) 翻滚；battled 搏斗，奋斗；surfed冲浪；cheered欢呼。根据空后的“and clapped when the performers performed wonderfully”可知，每个人都“欢呼(cheered)”，为其他人的精彩表演鼓掌。
9. A 选项：represent代表；greet问候；figure认为，认定；prove证明。由空后的“my group to join in the wrestling match. Unbelievably, I won.”可知，尽管“我”不愿意，“我”仍然被邀请“代表(represent)”“我”的小组参加摔跤比赛。
10. D 选项：features特色；envelopes信封；regions地区，区域；congratulations祝贺。由上一句“Unbelievably, I won.”可知，令人难以置信的是，“我”赢了，因此得到大家的“祝贺(congratulations)”。
11. C 选项：talent天赋；impact影响；respect敬意；philosophy哲学。由本句“I was grateful to the organizers, taking advantage of this chance to express my 11 to them.”以及下文的叙述可知，本次活动对“我”产生了积极的影响，所以“我”感谢组织者，借此机会向他们表达了“我”的“敬意(respect)”。
12. B 选项：settled down定居；marched on前进；broke away逃脱；gave up 放弃。根据空格前后的“From then on, I began to make friends with others.”和“I had more faith in myself”可知，从那时起，“我”能和别人交朋友了。随着时间的“前进(marched on)”，“我”对自己更有信心。
13. C 选项：charge指控；cure治愈；enjoy喜欢；defend保卫。由上文的“From then on, I began to make friends with others. As time 12 , I had more faith in myself.”和下文的“joyful moments and merry atmosphere of that night”可知，“我”现在“喜欢(enjoy)”跟其他人一起过中秋节。
14. B 选项：click点击；reflect认真思考，沉思；press按压；depend依靠。由空格前后的“I enjoy Mid-Autumn Festival now.” “joyful moments and merry atmosphere of that night”可知，“我”现在很喜欢中秋节。并且，“我”总是“思考(reflect)”起那晚的欢乐的时刻和愉快的气氛。
15. A 选项：beautiful美好的；effective有效的；generous慷慨的；legal合法的。根据整个故事的内容：作者作为一名孤儿，一直不喜欢过中秋节，直到在大学读书时，通过班级组织的中秋节前夕活动，作者喜欢上了过中秋节，也交到了很多朋友，变得有自信。可知，那一个晚上的班级活动让作者相信生活是“美好的(beautiful)”。
