Hw I Turned t Be Optimistic

I d nt remember myself crying fr this reasn again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying gdbye t my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thught abut all the places I was ging t see — the strange and magical places I had knwn nly frm bks and pictures. The cuntry I was leaving never t cme back was hardly in my head then.
The fur years that fllwed taught me the imprtance f ptimism, but the idea did nt cme t me at nce. Fr the first tw years in New Yrk I was really lst — having t study in three schls as a result f family mves. I did nt quite knw what I was r what I shuld be. Mther remarried, and things became even mre cmplex fr me. Sme time passed befre my stepfather and I gt used t each ther. I was ften sad, and saw n end t “the hard times.”
My respnsibilities in the family increased a lt since I knew English better than everyne else at hme. I wrte letters, filled ut frms, translated at interviews with Immigratin fficers, tk my grandparents t the dctr and translated there, and even discussed telephne bills with cmpany representatives.
Frm my experiences I have learned ne imprtant rule: almst all cmmn trubles eventually g away! Smething gd is certain t happen in the end when yu d nt give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn ut all right, even thugh it will nt be that easy.

The easy way ut isn’t always easiest. I learned that lessn when I decided t treat Dug, my husband f ne mnth, t a special meal. I glanced thrugh my ckbk and chse a menu which included hmemade bread. Knwing the bread wuld take time, I started n it as sn as Dug left fr wrk. As I was nt experienced in cking, I thught if a dzen was gd, tw dzen wuld be better, s I dubled everything. As Dng lved ranges, I als pened a can f range and pured it all int the bwl. Sn there was a sticky dugh (面团) cvered with ugly yellwish marks. Realizing I had been defeated, I put the dugh in the rubbish bin utside s I wuldn’t have t face Dug laughing at my wrk. I went n preparing the rest f the meal, and, when Dug gt hme, we sat dwn t Crnish chicken with rice. He tried t enjy the meal but seemed disturbed. Twice he gt up and went utside, saying he thught he heard a nise. The third time he left, I went t the windws t see what he was ding. Lking ut, I saw Dug standing abut three feet frm the rubbish bin, hlding the lid up with a stick and lking int the cntainer. When I came ut f the huse, he drpped the stick and explained that there was smething alive in ur rubbish bin. Picking up the stick again, he held the lid up enugh fr me t see. I felt cld. But I stepped clser and lked harder. Withut dubt it was my wrk. The ht sun had caused the dugh t duble in size and the fermenting yeast (酵母) made the surface shake and sigh as thugh it were breathing. I had t admit what the ‘living thing’ was and why it was there. I dn’t knw wh was mre embarrassed (尴尬) by the whle thing — Dug r me.

参考答案
1．答案：A
解析：本语境是邀请对方去午餐，对方礼貌地拒绝了，A项在此语境中正好表达此义。
2．答案：A
解析：本题考查定语从句，根据句意和结构可知用which 引导非限制性定语从句，指代主句内容，在定语从句中作主语。故选:A。
3．答案：B
解析：句子两部分之间没有连词，故后一部分为主句，前一部分为句子的状语，D项动词用原形时，则为祈使句，故错误;having dne表示已经完成; getting表示主动进行，t get 表示目的，意为“为了”，根据主句的将来时态，可知A、C错误，故应选B。
4．答案：D
解析：考查时态和语态。此句表达过去没有擦窗户的事情对现在的影响，窗户很脏；且主语"it"与谓语"clean"为被动关系，所以此处用现在完成时的被动语态。故选D。
5．答案：D
解析：本题主要考查连词。结合句意，“站在那儿你就能更好地看它”，在祈使句中表达"……就……"用连词and，表达"……否则就……"用连词r。这里属于前一种情况，因此选用顺承连词and。r"否则;或许"，while"当……的时候;而"; but"但是"，均不符合题意。故正确答案为D。

8．答案：A
解析：句意:虽然我承认他不完美，但实际上我的确喜欢这个人。while可引导一个让步状语从句，与语境相符。since既然，可引导原因状语从句;befre在……以前，可引导时间状语从句;unless除非，可引导条件状语从句，均与语境不符。
9．答案：C
解析：考查固定句式，since自从;after在……之后;befre在……之前;when当……时;根据句中信息Scientists say it may be five r six years. it is pssible t test this medicine n human patients可知该句考查固定句式It will/may be+一段时间+befre...;在固定句式: It will/may be+一段时间+befre...，过多长时间才就……;如果befre后面使用一般现在时，前面的主语使用将来时或用在含有情态动词的句子里;如果befre后面使用一般过去时，前面也使用一般过去时;所以这里应用befre，意为"科学家说可能要5到6年这种药才能在病人身上做实验"，故选C。
10．答案：B
解析：考查动词词义辨析。句意:作为高中生，时间很重要，因为我们需要在这个时期充分发展自己。A. ignres忽视; B. matters重要;C. sighs叹息;D. bserves观察。根据后文"fr we need t fully develp urselves in the perid"可知，需要在这个时期充分发 展自己，时间很重要。故选B。
