Answer 1

31-35The/who/presented/warmly/with   36-40another/saying/it/sweeter/when

解析:

【语篇解读】一位学生在沙漠中跋涉四天，把甘甜的泉水送给老师喝。其实，在皮袋

里存了四天的泉水已不再甘甜，但老师还是微笑着感谢了学生。老师向不解的另一个

学生说明了一个道理——不要看重礼物的贵贱，而应看重送礼人的这份真情。

31. 特指这股清泉里的水。

32．定语从句，先行词为an elder（一个老人），故可用who/that.

33. 发生在过去的一个故事，用一般过去时。present sth to sb意为“给某人送某物”。

34. 修饰动词smiled应用副词形式。

35. with a happy heart意为“心情愉快地”。

36. 从上下文可以知道应该是另一个学生。

37. 作spit it out伴随状况。

38. 指“水”。

39. Nothing could be sweeter.否定词+比较级句型，表示肯定意义。意为“再没有什么比这水更甘甜的了。”

40. 引导时间状语从句，意为“当我们接受孩子的礼物时，我们最能理解这个道理了。”
