这道题考查常用时间连词(before、after、when、while、since、until、as soon as、whenever)的辨析与语境运用,需结合固定搭配和句子逻辑选择合适的连词:
1. 空1:考查固定搭配“not...until”(直到……才),句意为“我直到八岁才开始学骑车”,符合语境;
2. 空2:结合前文“八岁才开始学”,此处表示“在那之前我觉得不可能”,需用表“在……之前”的连词;
3. 空3:句意为“当我几乎要放弃时,爸爸让我冷静”,需用表“当……时”的连词引导时间状语从句;
4. 空4:句意为“当他在我身边时,我感觉更安全”,表“当……时”,While/When均可;
5. 空5:句意为“一周努力后,我能独自骑一小段距离”,需用表“在……之后”的连词;
6. 空6:考查固定搭配“since then”(从那以后),句意为“从那以后我知道放弃不是答案”;
7. 空7:句意为“我一直练习直到能独自骑车去公园”,表动作持续到某时间,用until;
8. 空8:句意为“我一到那里就欢呼”,表“一……就”,As soon as/When均可;
9. 空9:句意为“现在每当我面对困难时,我就想起这段经历”,表“每当”,whenever/when均可;
10. 空10:句意为“一直尝试直到你最终成功”,表动作持续到成功,用until。
