(1) 从该句的语境看，此处表达的是让步关系，even though"尽管"，表示让步，故选D。now that"既然"，表示原因；if only"要是……就好了"，表示虚拟的条件：as if"好像"。 (2) 此处为父母再三向我们强调下面的事实，故用stress。 (3) 从上下文可知父母的爱国情结很浓厚，因此因生活在这样一个国度而倍感幸运。 (4) 从提示语a great country可知，父母热爱国家是因为这个国家有无限的机遇。limitless"无限的"，符合语境。 (5) 从下文的叙述可知，作者接下来介绍的是自己的第一份工作。 (6) 父亲因身体受伤而不得不接受再培训以便更换工作。retrain"再培训"。 (7) 此处指通过打扫停车场而减免租金。discount"折扣"。 (8) 由后面的a lawn mower可知，父亲用来捡垃圾的是一个像割草机一样的机器。 (9) 根据上下文可知，作者和母亲也陪同父亲一起捡垃圾。pick up"捡起，拾起"；bring up"培养；提出"；give up"放弃"；make up"编造"。 (10) 根据because of tiredness可知，作者经过几个小时的工作后很劳累，睡在了车中。 (11) 根据语境，能持续终生的应当是作者从劳动中学到的经验教训。lesson此处意为"经验，教训"。 (12) 从前一句中的learn可知此处指学到了纪律意识和强烈的职业理念。acquire此处意为"学到"。 (13) 作者讲述的是自己孩提时代的经历，故用early age。 (14) 句意：我从很小就懂得了平衡生活中互相冲突的利益的重要性。对作者来说，school，homework和a job都是不可或缺的，而从人的精力和时间上分析，三者的关系势必又是冲突的，因此才需要作者来平衡。competing原意为"竞争的"，此处引申为"冲突的"。 (15) 从下文谈到的作者所取得的成就看，早期的经历是"有帮助"的。 (16) 从下文可知，此处是指大学的预备课程。course"课程"，符合语境。 (17) 从上下文的语境看，此处指努力得到了回报。pay off"得到回报"；come true"实现"；take off"脱掉；起飞"；go ahead"前进"。 (18) 从下文的law firm可判断我获得了法学学位。 (19) 显然，此处是时间上的顺接关系，表示"后来"，故用later。 (20) 根据第7空后的three nights a week可知，那段夜间工作的经历令作者终生难忘。 |
