翻译：________________________________________

【点石成金】until引导的是时间状语，此时，句中的谓语动词应为延续性动词。before/after引导时间状语从句时，若主从句主语一致，可将从句的主语和be同时省略，但此时后面的动词要用动名词的形式。句中的adopt和主语是被动关系，应用动名词的被动形式being adopted。

【答案】being adopted；直到1995年7月，在被荷兰的一个家庭收养之前，她一直住在遵义市的社会福利院。

2.She and her foster parents found the nurse in 2004 when _______（visit） the welfare home， but they didn't leave a way to contact each other，except a photo.

翻译：______________________________________________________________________________________

【点石成金】when visiting相当于when they were visiting；因主从句主语一致，故将从句主语和be同时省略。

【答案】visiting；她和她的养父母在2004年拜访福利院时找到了这位护士，但除了一张照片外，他们没有留下任何联系方式。

3.Now she lives with her foster parents and sister in Groningen， northeast Netherlands，________（work）as a chef in a restaurant.

翻译：_________________________________________

【点石成金】句中work与主语she构成主谓关系，所以用现在分词working作伴随状语。

【答案】working；现在她和她的养父母和妹妹住在荷兰东北部的格罗宁根，在一家餐馆当厨师。

一个在荷兰长大的25岁女孩正在寻找她的亲生父母，他们住在中国东南部的贵州省遵义。

赵果果出生于1993年9月6日。直到1995年7月，在被荷兰的一个家庭收养之前，她一直住在遵义市的社会福利院。

1993年9月8日上午，周姓公民在遵义当时的中级人民法院门口抱起了一个正在哭泣的婴儿。现在那里被称为法院路。他将婴儿送到医院进行健康检查和喂养，并报告给了公安局。随后，根据入院档案，这名婴儿被送到红花港区的社会福利院，并取名为赵果果。

据赵说，她可能出生在福利院附近的市中心。

赵说：“在福利院，有一位护士把我照顾得很好。她每个周末都带我回她家”。她和她的养父母在2004年拜访福利院时找到了这位护士，但除了一张照片外，他们没有留下任何联系方式。

赵是遵义有记录以来最早被外国人收养的孩子之一。外国夫妇收养中国孩子必须向中国民政部负责的收养中心提交材料，并在收养前接受严格审查。

现在她和她的养父母和妹妹住在荷兰东北部的格罗宁根，在一家餐馆当厨师。

从去年10月开始，赵果果试图通过新浪微博找到自己的亲生父母，但由于时区差异和语言障碍，进展甚微。
