题目分析：本文讲述了作者参加了一次测验，结果本来成绩较好的他（她）却没有回答出最后一道题目，从而引发的思考。
小题1:根据 I had nailed this test可知，本空应该是老师给我们一个测试。Match“比赛”，quiz是“测试”，contest“竞赛”，game“游戏”。Test和quiz是同义词，所以本题选A。
小题2:根据上下文可知，作者在所有科目上都很优秀，故对这次考试应该是很自信的。故用confident。所以本题选C。
小题3:根据题干，本句应该是“直到做到最后一题前，我都很顺利的完成了前面打的题目。”“直到”是until。所以本题选A。
小题4:根据文章的最后一句I also later learned that the cleaning woman’s first name was Hannah.可知，本题应该选D。
小题5:根据文意可知，作者本认为那一定是个玩笑。must have been是对过去的事实的肯定猜测。所以本题选B。
小题6:根据题干，本句的意思是“我怎么会知道她的名字呢？”“怎样”是how。所以本题选C。
小题7:根据题干，本句的意思是“我甚至从来没有考虑过和她说话。”“甚至”是even。所以本题选C。
小题8:根据上文，作者进行了反思，她因为这个问题而感到内疚。Guilty“内疚的”。所以本题选B。
小题9:根据上文作者不会做这个题目，故应该是没有回答最后一个题目，就交上了试卷。所以本题选B。
小题10:count“计算”，value“价值”，amount“总量”，regard“看做”。根据文章，本句的意思是“一个学生问最后一个题目是否会算到我们的成绩当中。”所以本题选A。
小题11:根据They deserve (理应得到) your attention and care,可知，这些人都是很重要的。所以本题选C。
小题12:根据文章，本句的意思是“即使你做的只是一个微笑或者一个问好。”故用smile。所以本题选B。
小题13:根据文章的意思可知，作者应该是很难忘记这一课的。故用forgotten。所以本题选D。
小题14:根据上文的They deserve (理应得到) your attention 可知，本句话的意思是“每个人都应引起我的注意”“注意”是attention。所以本题选A。
小题15:通过观察可知本句是定语从句，根据本空的位置可知，本空做主语；而先行词是the people，故应用who。所以本题选B。
点评：这篇短文内容比较简单，理解不难。各小题与上下文联系比较紧密，答题中一定要注意联系上下文。答完后多读几遍，看看是否符合逻辑，适当修改。个别小题可以当作单独的词义辨析题来做，先区分词义，结合语境选出最能使语句通顺的答案。
