Question

(1)I was only an 11-year-old girl when my parents told me that we would soon move to America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear(忍受）the thought of never hearing the radio program for school children again which I listened to every morning.

In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving, I even felt a little excited because I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures.

The first four years in America taught me the importance of optimism（乐观）, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools and I (2)________most of my time(2)_________learning the English language.I hardly had any time for fun. Sometimes I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried(再婚), and things became even harder for me. It took me some time to get used to my stepfather(继父). I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times.”

I had to do many things for the family since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated(翻译）all kinds of information and took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there.

Luckily, things got better and better later and almost all common troubles went away at last From those experiences I have learned one important rule: Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little!

【解析】

试题分析：短文大意：作者从他的经历中学到了一条重要的规则：好事情一定是在最后发生。请你遇到困难时不要放弃，只要坚持，幸运总会到来！

1.英译汉：当我的父母告诉我我们将移居到美国的时候，我仅仅是个１１岁的小女孩。

2.根据下一句I hardly had any time for fun. 可推知本句句意：我将大部分时间都用来学习英语。所以在空白处填写devoted；to。

3.根据第二段中When we were leaving, I even felt a little excited because I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. 可知该作答：Because she thought about all the places she was going to see (-the strange and magical places she had known only from books and pictures)。

4.Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other.的意思是：过了一段时间之后，我的继父和我才彼此习惯了。也就是说：习惯继父花费了我一段时间。即它与文中句子It took me some time to get used to my stepfather.同义。

5.从短文最后From those experiences I have learned one important rule: Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little!即可得到主题句：Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little!
