【分析】
本题需结合语境和常用时间连词的用法,包括固定搭配,来选择合适的连词填空。首先明确各连词的含义:until(直到…)、before(在…之前)、when(当…时)、while(当…时,强调同时)、since(自从)、as soon as(一…就)、whenever(无论何时),再逐空分析句子逻辑关系,匹配对应连词。
【解析】
1. 考查固定结构not…until,意为“直到…才”,句意为“我直到八岁才开始学骑车”,故填until;
2. 结合语境“在那之前,我觉得学骑车不可能”,表示“在…之前”,故填Before;
3. 句意为“当我差点放弃时,爸爸让我保持冷静”,表示“当…时”,故填When;
4. 句意为“当爸爸在我身边时,我感觉更安全并练习平衡”,强调动作同时发生,可用While或When,故填While/When;
5. 句意为“经过一周努力后,我能独自骑一段距离”,表示“在…之后”,故填After;
6. 考查固定结构since then,意为“从那以后”,句意为“从那以后,我知道放弃从来不是答案”,故填Since;
7. 考查固定结构keep doing…until,意为“一直做…直到…”,句意为“我一直练习直到能独自骑车去公园”,故填until;
8. 句意为“我一到那儿就欢呼,所有努力都有了回报”,表示“一…就”或“当…时”,可用As soon as或When,故填As soon as/When;
9. 句意为“现在,无论何时我面对困难,都记得这个经历”,表示“无论何时”或“当…时”,可用whenever或when,故填whenever/when;
10. 句意为“一直尝试直到你最终成功”,表示“直到…”,故填until。
