Answer 1

36---55      CDABC   BDADB   BDCBA   CCCAB  

解析:

36.C  由文章最后一段的“a car key”和“the sports car”可知。

37.D  afford常与can/could/be able to连用，表示“买得起、担负得起”。

38.A  sign“迹象，征兆”，fact“事实”，mark“记号，标记”，result“结果”，这个年轻人渴望得到这辆车，所以一直期盼着看到父亲有买车的迹象。

39.B  C、D两项明显不符，而A项中的however表转折，此处无转折之意。用finally表示“毕业的这一天终于到来了。”

40.C  由此处的“his own”和第四段中的“his father’s important papers”可判断出，study此处指书房。

41.B  give与present相比较笼统，hand较具体、生动，故B项最佳\.

42.D  由于没得到自己想要的礼物，年轻人有点失望\.

43.A  年轻人由于生气而朝他父亲吼叫。

44.D  storm意为“气呼呼地疾走，闯，冲”，此处用storm恰当地表现他当时生气的样子，而run仅表示跑出去。

45.B  从后面一句“He had a beautiful home and wonderful family”可知。

46.B  realize“意识到，认识到”。

47.D  他还没来得及安排时间去看望你亲就收到电报。

48.C  用tell可表示“信上/电报上说”、“牌子上写着”、“仪器显示”等。

49.B  possession常用复数表示财产。

50.A  他心中充满了悲伤和后悔。

51.C  在书房中父亲留下的重要文件中寻找，即清点父亲留下的东西。

52.C  礼物就象毕业那天放在那儿一样还是新的。

53.C  underline“在……下划线（以示强调）”。

54.A  车钥匙掉下来，所以用drop。

55.B  标签上标有年轻人毕业那一天的日期。
