【解析】【1】由該句中的feared以及第二段中的倒數(shù)第二句中的 feeling anxious about, 可知答案為 anxious。

【2】再過2天我就將30歲，為步人生命中的一個新的十年而焦慮，害怕最好的歲月已不復(fù)存在，故用behind。

【3】我的每日慣例是工作之前去健身房。此處缺少形容詞作定語。

【4】每天早上我都會遇到我的朋友Nicholas。would表示過去經(jīng)常發(fā)生的事情，而used to 表示過去常常,而現(xiàn)在不再干某事。從下文來看，他們?nèi)匀幌嘤?/span>,故不能用used to。

【5】盡管他已經(jīng)79歲丫，但身材極好。

【6】他注意到我沒有往日的生機，故用usual。

【7】與文章的第一段的第一句中的turning相呼應(yīng)。

【8】我想知道，當(dāng)我到他這個年紀(jì)時，我會怎樣回憶我的一生。look back on 回顧，回憶; look forward to 期待; look down upon 輕視; look out for 當(dāng)心。

【9】Nicholas 對于我所提出的問題，毫不猶豫地進(jìn)行了回答。

【10】此處to表示針對性。對于我的哲學(xué)性的問題，他給出了哲學(xué)性的回答。

【11】當(dāng)我是孩子時,一切都被照顧得很好。

【12】根據(jù)常識,可知是父母養(yǎng)育、培養(yǎng)了我。

【13】根據(jù)問題"What was the best time of your life? ”和他所回答的每一條,可知用best。

【14】當(dāng)我獲得了第一份工作，盡職盡責(zé)，因自己的努力而得到工資時，那就是最好的。

【15】當(dāng)我遇到妻子并相愛，那就是最好的。fall in love愛上， fall 的過去式是fell。

【16】第二次世界大戰(zhàn)爆發(fā)時，我和妻子不得不離開奧地利以逃生。

【17】根據(jù)他所回答的每一條,都可看出用when。當(dāng)我們一起安全地去北美時,那就是最好的。

【18】當(dāng)我是父親并注視著孩子們長大,那就是最好的。

【19】現(xiàn)在,我已經(jīng)79歲。我健康，感覺很好,而且仍然愛著我的妻子如同最初相遇時一樣，這就是最好的。

【20】此題學(xué)生可能誤選C,因為根據(jù)類比句，都是用了 that;那是因為上面的六條都是對過去事情的描述，而最后一條是對現(xiàn)在的看法,故用This。
