12.2】解析:选D。根据上文“It was a challenging time for everyone...”和下文的关键词optimistic可以推断出前后两句具有转折关系。or或者,否则;for为了;so因此;but但是。所以D项符合题目要求的转折关系。
13.3】解析:选C。happen to...碰巧/恰巧……;seem to...好像/似乎……;continue to...继续……;aim to...打算……上文提到干旱所带来的灾难性影响席卷全国,但父亲仍然保持着乐观的态度。所以可推测本空所在句的意思是“他一如既往地感激其他事情,如健康的身体和我们盘中的食物”。故C项符合句意。
