Answer 1

小题1:was studying
小题2:has written
小题3:became
小题4:have

小题1:考查时间状语从句。While引导的从句用进行时，根据句意可知，用过去的时态。故填was studying。
小题2:考查时态。since+时间点，与现在完成时连用。故填has written。
小题3:考查动词和时态。根据in the year 2008可知，用一般过去时。become“成为”。故填became。
小题4:考查固定短语。have confidence in sb.“对某人有信心”。故填have。
小题5:考查时态和被动语态。根据soon可知，用将来时。主语a bright future是物，应该用被动语态。bring sth. to sb.“把......带给某人”。故填will be brought。
