解析:

本文通过讲述一对母子互相为对方买礼物的故事,说明世界上仍有无私的爱的存在。

36. A。针对Laura对“当今世界是否有无私的真爱”的怀疑态度,作者通过自己的亲身经历来说明无私的真爱是存的。比较4个选项,同时结合下文的内容,只有A最佳。

37. C。下文(51空处)讲,“我”希望看到儿子激动的表情,所以是想给儿子一个特殊的(special)礼物。

38. D。因为要挣钱买摩托车,所以整个夏天都在work。

39. D。此处指儿子在这辆二手摩托车上花费了很长时间,一直到(until)它看上去跟新车一样。

40. C。从搭配上看,四个选项都是对的,即:be sure of对……有把握,be fond of喜欢, be proud of为……而骄傲,be confident of对……有信心(把握)。但根据文章意思可知,作者的儿子是一个优秀而且很懂事的孩子,所以作者应该是对他引以自豪。

41. D。此处指母亲等不及希望儿子早点见到礼物,描述的是母亲的迫切的心情。hardly 意为“几乎不”。

42. A。由于 tea 和 morning goodies 无需cook,故排除B;而set 和 serve 不合语境。start 在此表示“开始准备”。

43. A。note在此指“字条”“便条”。

44. C。没想到儿子会给自己买keyboard,所感到很吃惊。另外,根据下文的I stood there shocked 也可推知答案。

45. B。根据下文说的 Learn to play the piano, and I’ll get you one 可知,作者还不会弹钢琴,此处用take lessons表示“上课”,也就是学钢琴。

46. D。作者想拥有一架钢琴,而她的丈夫的答复是Learn to play the piano, and I’ll get you one。

47. B。此处指作者想知道儿子是怎样弄到那么钱来买这个礼物的。afford 指“付得起钱”。

48. D。家里人都醒了,也就是整个屋子的人都醒了,这是拟人的写法。

49. A。指家人之间因高兴而互相亲吻。比较:exchange交换,experience经历,expect期待,exhibit展览。

50. B。此处用open 表示打开礼物的包装。

51. D。此处指作者的儿子看到礼物后脸上的表情并不像作者所期待的那样兴奋(因为他把摩托车卖掉了)。exactly意为“确切地”。

52. A。根据作者儿子给她买的贵重礼物以及儿子收到礼物后的表情来看,此时作者意识到儿子是把摩托车给卖掉了。

53. C。ever与最高级连用表示加强语气,ever的意思“一直以来”,又如:It was the best result they’ve ever had. 这是他们历来取得的最好成绩。

54. B。指作者想让 Laura 相信,无私的爱仍然存在(exist)。

55. C。指作者认为Laura 会与自己分享(share)这个故事。

Dear Laura,
Hi! I am Veronica, your new pen friend from Singapore. I got your name and address from the Making Pen Pals' Column in Buddies magazine and thought I'd write to you. Well, let me start by telling you something about myself. I am 13 years old and I am studying in secondary one at Westdove School. I have just finished my exams. I live with my parents and younger sister in a five room apartment. I like swimming, playing tennis and reading novels. I love the outdoors, especially the sea and I have been on several trekking (long and hard) tours abroad. I enjoy listening to both pop and classical music. My favorite food is pizza and I love making it myself because I like to make it with lots of cheese and pepper. To sum it up, I am a talkative, caring and patient person.
I guess life in London must be wonderful with all the interesting places and good food to enjoy. I'd love to see the famous Big Ben. I hope to visit London during one of my school holidays. Laura, I would really like to learn more about your culture and lifestyle. I hope you will write back. I have enclosed(附有) my address and telephone number. Please feel free to call me if you make a trip to Singapore. I think you should because it is a wonderful place to shop. Till then, good-bye!
Yours faithfully
Veronica ?
