A项,adaptation"适应;改编";B项,negotiation"谈判;转让";C项,explanation"解释;说明";D项,assumption"假定;设想".
由下文可知,Susan 的解释(explanation)依然不能让人理解为什么她会送一份破旧的生日礼物给 Holly.其他项均不符合句意.故正确答案为C.
37.D
A项,value"重视;认为…有价值";B项,desert"遗弃;放弃";C项,describe"描述";D项,present"呈现;介绍;赠送(礼物)".
由句意可知,一小块地毯的零头布料被当作生日礼物赠送(present)给了 Holly.故正确答案为D.
38.A
由上文可知,Holly 竭力不让自己的失望情绪显露出来,直到晚上才变得明显(evident).strange 意为"奇怪的;陌生的",slight 意为"轻微的;少量的",absent 意为"缺席的",均不符合句意.故正确答案为A.
39.B
A项,go against"违反;反对;不利于";B项,think of"想起;思考";C项,learn from"从…中学习";D项,pay for"支付;赔偿;为…付出代价".
本句中 think much of 为固定搭配,意为"高度评价某人".结合句意,Holly 伤心地问"我"她最好的朋友到底是怎么看待和评价(think how much of)她的.故正确答案为B.
40.C
A项,apparently"显然地;表面上";B项,regularly"定期地;有规律地";C项,miserably"可怜地;可悲地";D项,consistently"一贯地,一致地".
由上文中的 disappointment 可知,小 Holly 对最好的朋友送的生日礼物感到很失望,很伤心.因此此处应为她低着头可怜地(miserably)向妈妈表达自己的想法.故正确答案为C.
41.A由下文中"我"在垃圾箱内看到 Susan 的礼物可知,此处应为"我"拿起(lift)了垃圾箱的盖子.throw 意为"扔",close 意为"关闭",repair 意为"修理",均不符合句意.故正确答案为A.
42.B由句意可知,"我"看到 Susan 的礼物后仅仅犹豫(hesitate)了一下,就把它捡起拿回屋中.pause 意为"暂停",last 意为"持续",均不符合句意,故排除;think 意为"思考",因文中并未提及"我"的顾虑究竟是什么,即思考的内容是什么,故与 hesitate 相比,后者更佳.故正确答案为B.
43.C

48.A由文意可知,从与女人的交谈(chat)中"我"了解到她是 Susan 的养母,而非转换(switch)、交换(exchange)和辩论(debate).故正确答案为A.
49.C由句意可知,当她向"我"透露(reveal)对 Susan 的喜爱时眼睛里闪烁着光芒.clarify 意为"澄清;阐明";declare 意为"宣称",均不符合语境,故排除;admit 意为"承认",虽符合句意,但并不存在 admit to sb.的用法,故排除.故正确答案为C.

由上文可知,这个女人作为 Susan 的养母对待 Susan 竟然与对亲生女儿一样,允许她走进自己的生命并愿意尝试为她的人生做出改变,因此是慷慨无私的(generous-hearted).故正确答案为B.
51.D 由句意可知,当日光渐渐减弱消失(fade),我们就准备告别了.end 意为"结束",drop 意为"掉落",均不符合题意,故排除;darken 意为"变暗,使变暗",与主语 daylight 搭配不当,故排除.故正确答案为D.

53.C结合上下文及 the piece of 可知,"我"拿出了女儿正在找寻的 Susan 的礼物:那块地毯(carpet)的零头布料.gift 意为""礼物,不能与 the piece of 搭配,故排除;garbage 意为"垃圾",bag 意为"袋子",不符合句意,故排除.故正确答案为C.
54.D由前面的 a tear or two 可知,一两滴眼泪从 Holly 的眼中滑落(slip).flood 意为"涌出";pour 意为"倾泻;流出";stream 意为"流动,涌出",均不符合句意.故正确答案为D.
