【解析】【1】由该句中的feared以及第二段中的倒数第二句中的 feeling anxious about, 可知答案为 anxious。

【2】再过2天我就将30岁，为步人生命中的一个新的十年而焦虑，害怕最好的岁月已不复存在，故用behind。

【3】我的每日惯例是工作之前去健身房。此处缺少形容词作定语。

【4】每天早上我都会遇到我的朋友Nicholas。would表示过去经常发生的事情，而used to 表示过去常常,而现在不再干某事。从下文来看，他们仍然相遇,故不能用used to。

【5】尽管他已经79岁丫，但身材极好。

【6】他注意到我没有往日的生机，故用usual。

【7】与文章的第一段的第一句中的turning相呼应。

【8】我想知道，当我到他这个年纪时，我会怎样回忆我的一生。look back on 回顾，回忆; look forward to 期待; look down upon 轻视; look out for 当心。

【14】当我获得了第一份工作，尽职尽责，因自己的努力而得到工资时，那就是最好的。

【15】当我遇到妻子并相爱，那就是最好的。fall in love爱上， fall 的过去式是fell。

【16】第二次世界大战爆发时，我和妻子不得不离开奥地利以逃生。

【17】根据他所回答的每一条,都可看出用when。当我们一起安全地去北美时,那就是最好的。

【18】当我是父亲并注视着孩子们长大,那就是最好的。

【19】现在,我已经79岁。我健康，感觉很好,而且仍然爱着我的妻子如同最初相遇时一样，这就是最好的。

【20】此题学生可能误选C,因为根据类比句，都是用了 that;那是因为上面的六条都是对过去事情的描述，而最后一条是对现在的看法,故用This。
