BIG things were happening in my life the summer after I turned 13. In the middle of that summer, my parents my entire world when they told me they were getting divorced. I couldn’t believe that our family was going to . Though I always knew my parents weren’t very happy and they often fought, I still wanted my family to stay .
My life changed pletely after the divorce. My mother and I moved into a small apartment town, while my father and brother, Bill, stayed in our house. I now became a visitor I went to see my Dad and Bill on the weekends. And immediately I had my stepfather, Dan, I showed no interest in. I was clearly sad, especially after Dan and my mother married I realized that there was no way that things could change the way they were.
Even though I refuse all Dan’s trying to get to know me and wasn’t very nice to him, he never gave on me. Gradually, I began to trust him. I realized that we actually had some things in mon, especially when came to movies and TV shows. We spent a lot of time together out to watch movies. That gave us a chance to talk and get to know each other .
Better still, Dan showed an interest in me that I had experienced from my own father. Dan was always around when I needed on school or friends. Once I began to Dan, the three of us began spending a lot of time together. We often went out to eat and short trips. Eventually, I discovered that I finally had the happy family that I had always .
I now realize my parents were about getting the divorce. Their breakup was the best thing to happen for all of us. My father also found happiness—he and had another child, my half-sister, Michelle.
At 13, I an important truth –change is not always the worst thing that can happen. Sometimes, it is just what we need most.

解析：本文讲述了作者13岁时父母的离婚让她认为整个世界都动摇了。但在继父不放弃的关怀和关注下，她得到了一直想要的幸福家庭。从那时起她知道了一个真相就是改变并不总是最糟糕的事情。
【小题1】考查动词。 shook 摇动；broke破坏；hurt伤害；changed改变。句意是：当我的父母告诉我他们离婚了，他们动摇了我的整个世界。下文中提到作者不相信，可知父母的离婚对她来说是一个令她震惊的消息。故选A。
【小题2】考查词组。 break down发生故障；break up打碎，破碎；break in打断；break out爆发。句意是：我不相信我们的家庭就要破裂了。故选B。
【小题3】考查搭配。Stay the same是固定搭配，意思是保持不变。故选C。
【小题4】考查介词。At在；from从；across穿过；over越过。句意是：我和妈妈搬到镇子另一头的小公寓里。故选C。
【小题5】考查连词。When当...时候；while然而；that因为；whenever每当，无论何时。
句意是：现在当我周末去看我爸爸和比尔的时候我成为了一个访客。when是at or during the time that, 既指时间点，也可指一段时间，while是during the time that，只指一段时间，因此when引导的时间状语从句中的动词可以是终止性动词，也可以是延续性动词，而while从句中的动词必须是延续性动词。See是瞬间动词。 故选A。
【小题6】考查代词。Whoever无论谁；which哪一个；whom谁（宾格）；that那。句意是：不久我有了继父，我对他不感兴趣。故选C。
【小题7】考查连词。but 但是； and并且；however无论如何；also也。句意是：我显然很难过，尤其是在我妈妈和丹结婚后，我意识到没有事情可以变成原来的样子了。两句是并列关系。故选B。
【小题8】考查介词。 Back向后的；back to后退到，回到；into到...里面；for为了。句意是：我意识到没有事情可以改变回他们的方式。故选B。
【小题9】考查固定搭配。句意是：虽然我拒绝所有丹的想了解我的行为,对他不是很好,但他从来没有放弃我。Give up是放弃的意思。故选A。
【小题10】考查代词。That那；it它；he他；we我们。句意是：我意识到,我们有一些共同点,尤其是在电影和电视节目方面。此处代词指代我们有共同点这个事实。故选B。
【小题11】考查固定搭配。spend time ／money (in) doing sth. 花费时间（金钱）做某事。故选D。
【小题12】考查比较级。句意是：更深入地了解对方。用副词形式，因此C、D两项错误。正确形式是A。故选A。
【小题13】考查副词。Either两者之一的；too也；before以前；never从未。句意是：从我父亲身上从未经历过。故选D。
【小题14】考查名词。Suggestion建议；advices报道；advice忠告；tip窍门。句意是：当我需要关于学校和朋友的建议时丹总是在我的周围。故选A。

【小题16】考查动词。 Went去；began开始；took拿；go for去找。句意是：我们经常出去吃饭,进行短途旅行。Go 是不及物动词，去哪里用go to，因此A、D两项错误。去旅行搭配是take a trip ,故选C。
【小题17】考查动词。Wished渴望；hoped希望；dreamed 梦想；wanted想要。句意是：最后,我发现,我终于有了幸福的家庭,那我一直想要的。故选D。
