Answer 1

1. C It takes sb. +时间+to do sth.表示"做某事花费某人时间"，是固定句型。

2. A这里是表示一种假设，所以用if来引导条件状语从句。

3. B虚拟语气表示与将来情况相反时主句中用would (not) +动词原形。

4. D指代上文提到过的同一类事物用one,复数用ones。这里ones指代mistake"

5. B作者认为假如自己能重新养育一次孩子，她一定会做得更好。所以用better来修饰job。

6. A根据下文可知作者照搬其父母养育孩子的方式，所以选parent"

7. C根据上下文，应该用followed (遵循，仿效) ，而不是improved (改进，改善) 。

8. B根据后句"他认为没有理由这样做"可知应该是"厌恶"(hated) ，而不是"喜欢"(enjoyed) 。

9. D当年作者作为一个女孩必须早点回家，所以此处用as (作为) 。

10. A根据上下文，作者想让自己的孩子和自己当年一样，所以用same (同样的) 。

11. D因为父亲生病，所以作者及其弟妹们要保持安静，以便病人休息。

12. B孩子们生气就哭，高兴就笑。所以选happiness (快乐) 。

13. A作者只想让孩子像自己当年一样,从来没思考过自己为什么要这样做。

stop doing sth.停止(正在做的事情) ；stop to do sth.停下来去做另一件事。

14. C因为作者自己当年从不喜怒形于色，因此也制止自己的孩子这样做。

15. A最终作者明白孩子毕竟不是自己，无论喜还是怒，都应该表现出来。修饰谓语动词和表示方式要用no matter how。
