【分析】
首先通读全文，把握文章主旨：作者接连遭遇母亲重病、丢失生日礼物等不顺之事，一度陷入消沉，直到读了《如果你有一个柠檬，就做杯柠檬水》后，才意识到生活本就充满起伏，需保持积极心态，学会转变看待困境的方式。
逐题解题思路：
1. 第1题：需表达“不知道做什么来减轻母亲痛苦”，先明确“疑问词+不定式”结构作宾语的用法，排除语法有误的A（how to do后缺宾语）和时态不符的D，确定B选项符合要求。
2. 第2题：结合语境，手表是父亲送的18岁生日物品，对比选项词义，gift（礼物）最贴合语境。
3. 第3题：前文事件均为糟糕的事，此处无比较含义，用bad修饰things即可，排除比较级worse和表积极含义的better、good。
4. 第4题：考查固定搭配not...until...，意为“直到……才……”，代入句中符合“直到读了文章才知道如何应对困境”的逻辑。
5. 第5题：结合智者面对柠檬的思考，此处应是从困境中获取“教训”，lesson符合语境。
6. 第6题：作者读文章后突然明白生活的起伏规律，realize（意识到）能准确体现这一心态转变。
7. 第7题：作者回想过去，希望当时用与之前不同的方式处理事情，differently（不同地）符合句意。
8. 第8题：需表达“握住母亲的手安慰她，而非躲起来哭泣”，instead of（而不是）能体现这种替代关系。
9. 第9题：参加歌唱比赛未获奖，win a prize是固定搭配，意为“获奖”，符合语境。
10.第10题：没获奖但获得了舞台经验，at least（至少）能体现作者积极的心态，符合语境。
【解析】

3. D 提示：better更好的；good好的；worse更糟糕的；bad糟糕的。文中提到的母亲重病、丢手表都是糟糕的事，此处无比较含义，用bad修饰things，故选D。
4. B 提示：考查固定搭配not...until...，意为“直到……才……”。句意为“直到我读了《如果你有一个柠檬，就做杯柠檬水》，我才知道如何应对这些艰难的事情”，符合语境，故选B。

二、阅读理解
2025 南通海门一模 It was Christmas Eve, and Ebenezer Scrooge was in his office, counting money. Scrooge was a lonely, greedy man who cared only about wealth. When his nephew Fred came to wish him a Merry Christmas, Scrooge replied coldly:
"Bah! Humbug! Christmas is just a waste of time!"
Fred tried to explain that Christmas was about kindness, giving, and family, but Scrooge wasn't interested. "Keep Christmas your way," Scrooge snapped. "Let me keep it my way!"
Later that night, as Scrooge was getting ready for bed, the doorbell rang. He opened the door and saw the ghost of his old partner, Jacob Marley, standing before him. Marley was covered with chains, pulling heavy locks behind him.
"What do you want with me?" Scrooge asked, shaking.
"I have come to warn you," said Marley's ghost. "You will be visited by three spirits tonight. They will show you what your life has been, what it is now, and what it will become if you do not change."
Scrooge was frightened but listened carefully. Marley disappeared, and Scrooge was left alone in his dark, cold room.
The first spirit appeared: the Ghost of Christmas Past, dressed in bright clothes. The spirit took Scrooge back in time to his childhood. Scrooge saw himself as a young boy, sitting alone in a classroom on Christmas Eve. Then they visited a scene where Scrooge, as a young man, worked for a kind boss named Mr Fezziwig, who celebrated Christmas with his workers. Scrooge felt sadness as he remembered the joy he once had.
The spirit then showed him how he had fallen in love with a woman named Belle. She had loved him, but as he became more focused on money, he pushed her away. She left him, and Scrooge realized he had lost the most important things in life for wealth.
The second spirit appeared: the Ghost of Christmas Present, a large figure in green. The spirit showed Scrooge the present day, beginning with Fred's Christmas party. Fred continued to show love and kindness to his uncle, even though Scrooge never made any response. Scrooge was moved to see how Fred's happiness was not affected by his uncle's absence.
The spirit also took Scrooge to the home of Bob Cratchit, his employee. Bob's family was poor, but they celebrated Christmas with love. Bob's youngest son, Tiny Tim, was very sick, but the Cratchits stayed hopeful. Scrooge felt sorrow as he saw Tiny Tim's condition and began to care for the people he had paid no attention to.
Finally, the third spirit arrived: the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, a dark, silent figure dressed in black. It pointed to scenes of the future, showing Scrooge the death of Tiny Tim if nothing changed. Then the spirit showed Scrooge his own lonely death. People spoke badly of him, and no one cried for him. Scrooge was frightened by what he saw.
The spirit pointed to a tomb. Scrooge read the name on the tombstone and saw that it was his own. He fell to his knees, begging for a chance to change.
"Spirit," he cried, "I will not be the same man I was before! I will accept the spirit of Christmas and live a better life!"
