Answer 1

答案：B;D;A;C;A;A;D;D;D;A;A;B;C;B;B;A;C;D;D;B
解析：

(1)小孩儿希望他们是成年人，老人希望他们是年轻人。与old相对，填young。 (2)最快乐的人是那些充分享受每个年龄给予他们的一切，而不去浪费时间做无用的后悔。 (3)由2题句意知。 (4)to make life difficult是responsibilities的结果状语。 (5)raise在此为“养育”，因为后面为whatever he may do，所以不可能填supported。 (6)由句意，应填“不可能”，注意“again”。 (7)由句意，应填“给予”。 (8)what's more“另外”的意思，用来提出另一理由或方面。 (9)理解句意，8～10空便迎刃而解；另外，生活总给孩子新东西，这些东西对于年龄大一些的人来说已丧失了兴趣，因为他们太熟悉了。 (10)由9题可知。 (11)pains为痛苦，与文意一致。 (12)again and again意为“反复地”“再三”once in a while偶尔。 (13)由文意知。 (14)“开始独立生活”用start (15)pay for sth. 支付……，pay off还清，think of考虑，take the place of代替。 (16)由题意应为“生活得舒适一些”“好一些”。 (17)go hungry挨饿，go作系动词。 (18)正像……一样，用as。
