解答 26---30 CDBAD 31---35 ABCAD 36---40 CDBDD 41---45 BACCD
详解:26.C 从上句可知,祖父是一个voluntary carpenter (义务工匠),从下文可知,祖父制作(build)木箱给孤儿院,故选C.
27.D 从下文第四段可知,"he came to my grandfather's small church in Chicago."孤儿院负责人来到祖父在芝加哥的小教堂,感谢支持过他们的教堂,所以此处空格的句子应该是教堂(church)送木箱给孤儿院,故选D.
28.B 空格处句子理解为"在回家的路上,他发现(found)眼镜不见了",故选B.
29.A 空格前面说"他在脑海里回想了他之前的行为",然后就意识到(realize)眼镜滑出了他的口袋,故选A.
30.D 这里考查并列连词,"眼镜划出口袋"和"掉在箱子里面"两个句子是并列关系,故选D.
31.A 从空格前面的"这不公平"和后面句子的抱怨可知,祖父现在的心情应该是不好的或者生气的(angry),应该选一个贬义的形容词,故选A.
32.B 空格处句子应该理解为"我对我的工作一直这么忠实,现在却是这种情况(指的是丢了眼镜)",be faithful to:对…忠实
33.C 空格处应理解为"几个月后",later是副词,意为"…之后",注意区别B latter,这是一个形容词,意思是"后者的".
34.A 从下一段"He began by thanking the people"可知,孤儿院负责人是要来感谢支持(support)过他们的教堂,故填A.
35.D 空格处句子应理解为"负责人开始为祖父他们的善举(kindness)而感谢他们",故选D.
36.C 从下文提到的负责人的眼镜坏了刚好用了祖父的眼镜可知,此处理解为"他感谢去年祖父‘送'的眼镜(glasses)",故选C.
37.D be broken:表示坏了的一种状态,主语是glasses,属于复数形式,时态是一般过去时,因此be动词要选用were,故选D.
38.B 空格处句子应理解为"虽然我有钱,但根本(simly)没有什么办法可以取代他们",故选B.
39.D 空格处句子应理解为"我没办法看得清,每天都要经历(experience)头痛",故选D.
40.D 空格处句子应理解为"当我打开(remove)盖子的时候,我发现眼镜躺在上面",remove意为"去除;脱掉;拿下",故选D.
41.B 空格处句子应理解为"当我试着戴上眼镜的时候,就好像眼镜是为我量身定做的一样",try on意为"试穿",故选B.
42.A 同上一句解释"当我试着戴上眼镜的时候,就好像(as though)眼镜是为我量身定做的一样",故选A.
43.C 空格处句子应理解为"在场的人听着,都对这双神奇的眼镜很好奇",be curious for:对…好奇.故选C.
44.C 从前文可知,眼镜是祖父不小心掉下的,而不是他们送的,因此"在场的人都很奇怪(strange),因为在他们的送礼清单上并没有眼镜这个东西",故选C.

点评 在做完形填空时,首先需要快速的浏览全文,从宏观的角度把握文章的大意,构建全文的内在逻辑结构,领会作者的思路,完形填空通过保留一定数量的词语,使答题的人获得必要的信息和知识.所以,某些提供答题信息的关键词会多次反复地出现,我们要好好把握这些关键词,挑出信息词.做题的同时还要注意联系上下文,并凭借自己掌握的语法知识和一般的常识,兼顾人称、性别、单复数、语法和时态等等语法的因素,从语法的结构方面考虑答案.
