(2011·乌鲁木齐三诊)

I remember that I could not bear the thought of __2__ hearing again the radio program for school children to which I __3__ every morning.

When we were leaving I thought about all the __5__ I was going to see—the __6__ and magical places I had known only from books and __7__. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.
The four years that followed taught me the importance of __8__, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was __9__ having to study in three schools as a result of family __10__. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother __11__,and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I __12__ to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to “the __13__times”.
My __14__ in the family increased a lot since I know English better than everyone else __15__ . I wrote letters, filled our forms, __16__at interviews with immigration officers, looked my grandparents to the doctor, and __17__ discussed telephone bills with company representatives.
From my experiences I have learned one important rule:almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something __18__ is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up,and just __19__ a little patiently! I believe that my life will turn out all right __20__ it will not be that day.

答案:C。我常常很伤感,并且看不到艰难时光的尽头。由空13前的第3段的描述可知答案。hard难的,艰苦的,艰难的,难受的。
14.A. businesses B. attitudes
C. chores D. responsibilities
答案:D。因为我比家里任何别的人英语都好,所以我在家庭里的职责增加了很多。responsibility“责任,负担,职责”;business分内事,事务,业务,事情;chore家务杂事,琐事。空14所在的句子是本段的主题句,从本段下文的描述看,写信、填各种表格、充当翻译、带祖父母看病以及和电话公司的代理谈判等事情已经不仅仅是chore(家务杂事)和business(分内的事情),而更多的是一种责任,故responsibility为最佳答案。
15.A. at that time B. at home
C. at last D. at once
答案:B。at home“在家”在本句中作定语。我比家里任何人的英语都要好。
16.A. translated B. reported
C. organized D. transported
答案:A。在和移民局的官员们面谈时充当翻译。和段落首句的“我在家人里面英语最好”相吻合。

C. even D. ever
答案:C。甚至和电话公司的代理谈判也是我。此处强调程度,故用even(甚至)。
18.A. good B. bad
C. surprising D. hopeless
答案:A。和第3段首句“接下来的四年教会了我乐观的重要性”相呼应。当你永不言弃时,美好的事情最终会发生。good“好的,令人满意的”。
19.A.wish B.wait
C.hope D.try
答案:B。只是要耐心地等待。
20.A.since then B.now that
C.so that D.even though
答案:D。我相信我的生活最终会变得美好,即使不是在今天,那一定会是在将来的某一天。由行文逻辑可知此处为让步关系,故选even though(即使,纵然)
