[篇章结构]： 示例1
[解析]：
36.B。 把握上下文的语境。根据前一句话，可知作者现在和过去不一样了，先考虑别人再考虑自己，所以用before, 在为自己着想之前先为别人着想，故选B。
37.C。 利用原词复现解题。根据文章第二句“in the past two years I have really changed.”，可推知，我现在是一个与之前不同的人了，故选C。
38.D。把握上下文的语境。根据文章第二句“in the past two years I have really changed.”，可推知，本段要讲的是，我的改变发生在什么时候，故选D。
39.C。根据生活常识推理手段。上大学的目的，就是为了得学位，所以作者一开始，就只是为了拿学位，故选C。
40.A。把握上下文的语境。由上句“I thought I was smarter than everyone else,”，可知，作者自恃清高，看不起别人，因而也不与人说话交流，故选A。
41.B。 把握上下文的语境。根据前一句话“I hardly ever talked to anyone else”,可知作者没有朋友，很孤独，故选B。
42.C。 利用概括词复现解题。根据下文“I started asking people around me how they were doing, and if they were having trouble I offered to help”，可知作者这样做，不是A争论，不是B游戏，而是一个尝试，D变化与前边动词不搭配，故选C。
43.B。 根据词汇的意义解题。根据前一句“if they were having trouble”可推知，作者是愿意提供帮助的，故选B。
44.D。 根据上下文词意复现解题。前文中出现转变different, 这里说的一大跨越，与前文相符，故选D。
45.C。把握句子结构解题。这是一个由and连接的并列句，前后都是一个简单句，后半句中表达“其中有两人”，所以用two of them. 本句中如果前边没有and，那么就该选D whom，是指人的关系代词。故选C。
46.A。 利用概括词复现解题。前文说作者是生活态度的转变，而不是B兴趣爱好，C希望，D运气的改变，故选A。
47.A。 根据生活常识和文化背景的推理手段。作者去敬老院做兼职，与老人之间成了朋友，而不可能成为B伙伴，C向导，D客人，故选A。
48.B。 把握句内的逻辑关系。作者每次去看望她，她都把作者当成她的女儿了，所以她应该是高兴的，故选B。
