after在……之后;as由于,當(dāng)……時(shí)候;because因?yàn)?before在……之前。根據(jù)“he had become a teenager”可知,此句是過(guò)去完成時(shí),表示過(guò)去的過(guò)去,即“在我意識(shí)到這個(gè)之前,他已經(jīng)是一個(gè)青年了”,故選D。

everybody每個(gè)人;somebody某人;nobody沒(méi)有人;anybody任何人。根據(jù)上文“I knew why she was crying.”和句中“Everybody could see that she was a little overweight”可知,由于她胖,而且在哭泣,所以沒(méi)有人邀請(qǐng)她跳舞,故選C。
