When I was in middle school, there was one thing that often made me nervous: competition. I couldn't keep up with others. In exams, I always 1 , which made me very nervous. One day, all students were called to meet an education expert in our classroom. All of us were waiting for him when we saw a thin man come 2 us. He was full of confidence, with a smile on his face. He introduced himself to us and started his speech. It was very interesting and we were all listening with full 3 . After his speech, he said, "Now I need 20 students to take a talent test." All of us 4 hands at the same time. He chose some students and gave 5 of them a question paper and said, "There are 10 questions on the paper, and the 6 one will be the winner!"

He said between the first instruction and the first question, there was another line which said, "Read all the questions carefully and answer only the 8 question." No one saw the words.

【分析】
这类方框选词题的解题思路是：第一步先梳理所有备选词汇的词义、词性，预判可能的变形方向；第二步通读全文，理清故事的整体叙事逻辑和时态（本文整体为一般过去时）；第三步结合上下文语境、固定搭配、语法规则逐个匹配词汇，遇到需要变形的空要注意时态、比较级最高级、序数词、非谓语等变化；最后通读填完的全文，验证逻辑和语法是否通顺。比如第一空关联考试场景，前文提到跟不上其他人，自然对应“得低分”的表达，再匹配时态即可。
【解析】
1. 前文提到作者跟不上其他人，结合考试的场景，对应备选短语get low marks（得低分），全文叙事为一般过去时，因此变为got low marks。
2. 此处表达“朝我们走过来”，固定搭配come towards sb. 表示朝某人走来，填介词towards。
3. 此处表达所有人都全神贯注听演讲，固定短语with full attention表示全神贯注，填名词attention。
4. 前文说要挑选20名学生参加测试，所有人同时举手，固定搭配put up hands表示举手，一般过去时中put的过去式仍为put，填put up。
5. 此处表达给选中的每个学生一张试卷，each of them表示他们中的每一个，填each。
6. 后文提到所有学生立刻快速开始答题，规则是最快完成的人获胜，定冠词the后要加形容词最高级，quick的最高级为quickest，填quickest。
7. 此处指代前面的答题测试活动，对应备选名词competition（竞赛），表示这场比赛结束时，填competition。
8. 前文说明试卷一共有10道题，此处表达只需要回答第10题，定冠词the后加序数词，ten的序数词为tenth，填tenth。
9. 固定搭配tell sb. not to do sth. 表示告诉某人不要做某事，此处表达不要盲目跟随其他人，填to follow。
10. 并列连词and连接两个并列的形容词，和careful并列，对应备选形容词creative（有创造力的），填creative。
【答案】
1. got low marks 2. towards 3. attention 4. put up 5. each 6. quickest 7. competition 8. tenth 9. to follow 10. creative
