参考答案及解析：
Ⅰ. 完形填空
【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者过着常人看来很美满的生活，却想尝试一下有些波澜的生活；但作者生性羞怯，最终国外执教的经历改变了自己。
1. D【解析】前文提到作者过着多数人称之为美好的生活，后文提到“I was bored，前后文之间为转折关系，故应填 However。
2. B【解析】根据前文的描述可知，作者已经在过着轻松和平静的生活，故排除A和C；根据后面的“instead of the gray ones of everyday ife”可知，作者不想过每天索然无味的生活，B选项 brightly与gay形成对比，符合文意。brightly在此意为“快活而生机勃勃地”。
3. D【解析】根据本段后面的描述，尤其是 never以及 childhood shyness可知，作者对生活发生变化是有些担心的（afraid）。
4. B【解析】根据前后文的描述可知，造成作者担心生活发生变化的原因是作者对自己缺乏信心（confidence）。第三段中的“tried everything，like reading books about confidence”也是提示。
5. A【解析】根据后文的描述 childhood shyness可知，作者存在羞怯心理，由此推断即使在商店购物都会使作者产生压力（stress）。
6. C【解析】该句中的 even though是解题的关键，指尽管随着作者长大，情况好转了一些，但他从未能克服自己儿时的羞怯心理。get over解决，克服，控制。
7. D【解析】本段前两句话提到作者尝试了各种事情，朝实现自己的目标前进了几小步；又根据该句中but表示转折可知，所有这一切没有在真正意义上起到作用。help在此意为“改善状况；促进，促使”。
8. A【解析】针对自己的努力效果并不明显，作者断定（decided）一点点的进步是不够的。
9. B【解析】前文中的 the small steps与该句中的 huge step形成对比，教英语对于害羞的作者而言可以说是不可能的。故 impossibly符合文意。
10. C【解析】根据前文中的“I left my home and my loved ones. I was done in a country”可知，作者告别亲人远离家乡，孤身一人来到了一个国家，这里的食物和街道对自己来说肯定是陌生的（strange）。后文中的“this very strange environment”也是提示。
11. B【解析】作者孤身一人来到异国他乡，不知道自己是否能应对（handle）这个陌生环境带给自己的一切。
12. B【解析】参见上一题解析。throw在此意为“向……作出，对……施加。
13. B【解析】根据前文中的 exploring and laughing可知，在越南的五个月里，作者努力学会从中得到乐趣，享受（enjoy）自己的技能、能力和决定。
14. D【解析】作者出国后变化很大，以至于回国后都没人认得出他了。形容词 unrecognizable意为“变得难以辨认的；无法识别的”。
15. A【解析】文章第二段中提到了作者的胆怯、缺乏自信以及害羞的性格，联系语境可知此处与前文形成对比，表示国外的经历使作者的恐惧和自我怀疑完全消失了。wear o逐渐消失，逐渐停止。
Ⅱ. 语法填空
【语篇导读】作者来自加利福尼亚，他讲述了自己对桂林的看法。
1. beauty【解析】根据前面的is可知，空处应填所给词的名词形式。
2. her【解析】空处修饰名词，所以应用形容词性物主代词。
3. Interesting【解析】空处修饰 places，意为“有趣的”，故填Interesting
4. oldest【解析】根据语境和空前的 one of the可知，空处应填所给词的最高级形式。
5. but【解析】根据语境可知，空处前后是转折关系，故填but。
6. where【解析】分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，先行词是the Midwest of the us，关系词指代先行词在定语从句中作地点状语，故填 where。
7. freezes【解析】主语是it，此处描述一般事实，应用一般现在时，故填 freezes。
8. having【解析】 I be used to doing sth意为“习惯做某事”，为固定短语，故填having。
9. a【解析】句意：事实上，在加利福尼亚，汽车几乎是一个必需品。necessity必需的事物，必需品，在此处为可数名词，表泛指，其发音以辅音音素开头，故填a。
10. to retire【解析】句意：这真是个退休的好去处。空处作定语修饰place，故填 to retire。
