【解析】

1.本题考查动词的运用，联系上下文，由上文给出the last candidate(候选人) ，可知下文对应的动词应该是 be chosen。

2.本题考查形容词表感情色彩，联系上下文，由本段出现的第一个形容词usual 来判断作者的感情色彩是平淡的，故排除B. loud和D. cheerful选项，再由to my surprise 来判断，作者与Jeff的关系不是非常亲密所以排除C warm选项。

3.本题是对副词的考查，由er，wondering，would...等词可知，Jeff表现得比较紧张，所以答案选择nervously。

4.本题考查的是词语辨析，advice指的是忠告，多指医生对病人，长辈对晚辈； message 多指口信，转述客观事实且通常不带有主观上的感情色彩；chance 最大的干扰选项 因为下文出现个chance ,但是chance表示的一种可能性；抽象名词 offer 作为名词表示提议。联系上文可知D为最佳答案。

5.本题考查代词的运用，联系上下文主语都是I，所以答案选择me。

6.本题考查动词辨析，由于当时advertisement 已经存在，可以排除invent；在剩下的选项中，我们进行个排序就会发现：第一步 create ；第二步print ；第三步：send 。这正好与上文提到first goal相呼应，所以答案选择C。

7.本题考查介词搭配，最能凸显出 poster 效果的介词是without，否定介词与前面的no相呼应，双重否定表肯定。

8.本题考查动词短语辨析，carry out 实施， try out 尝试， work out 解决 find out 找出（事实），查明（真相），结合上下文，wanted a chess club and a volleyball team,下文的 collect information可以得出答案是D。

9.本题考查动词辨析，联系上下文可以知道：校长同意了（agree）我们的提议。

10.本题考查动词的熟词生义，receive在此表示的是“接纳”，并不是我们所熟悉的“收到”。

11.本题考查名词辨析，联系上下文，我和Jeff的工作得到了他人的认可，心中感到自豪和满足，故答案选择A。

12.本题考查名词，联系上下文，由上文提到the most popular …那么用下列四个词概括下就是Jeff的成功，故答案选择D。
