Answer 1

【小题1】was studying
【小题2】has written
【小题3】became
【小题4】have
【小题5】will be brought

解析【小题1】考查时间状语从句。While引导的从句用进行时，根据句意可知，用过去的时态。故填was studying。
【小题2】考查时态。since+时间点，与现在完成时连用。故填has written。
【小题3】考查动词和时态。根据in the year 2008可知，用一般过去时。become“成为”。故填became。
【小题4】考查固定短语。have confidence in sb.“对某人有信心”。故填have。
【小题5】考查时态和被动语态。根据soon可知，用将来时。主语a bright future是物，应该用被动语态。bring sth. to sb.“把......带给某人”。故填will be brought。
