take和spend都可以表示“花费”，他们用于不同的句型，take的句型是：It takes sb.+一段时间+to do sth.花费某人一段时间做某事；spend的句型是(sb) spend+一段时间+doing sth. 根据文意可知，短文使用的是一It took him less than an hour to read a book. /It took him less than 般过去时态，故翻译句子时应用过去时。答案为：an hour to finish reading a book. /He spent less than an hour reading a book 【42题详解】
before可以作连词或者介词，原文中before是介词，后面跟名词构成短语。题目要求改为复合句，故可用before引导时间状语从句，从句中主语为he；使用一般过去时，was four (years old)，主句不变。 【43题详解】
This是一个代词，指代上文内容，找到上句话即可知答案，The movie Rain Man won an Oscar for Best Picture in 1988. 意为“《雨人》这部电影在1988年获得奥斯卡最佳影片奖。”
