解析
36．解析：delighted意为“高兴的’，常说明人或与人密切相关的事。作状语，表示某人做某事时的心情。根据上文的内容可以看出，作者对他妈妈说他感到无聊，他妈妈把汽车的钥匙给他，让他开车去买一些水果，这是一件令人高兴的事，所以作者感到非常高兴。encouraged意为“受到鼓舞”。disappointed意为“感到失望”。confused意为“感到混乱的”。都与作者当时的心情不相符合。
37．解析：car意为“汽车”，根据上文的内容可判断出男孩看到的是作者的汽车，再从下文的sprang up可判断出作者开车来到了商店。mother意为“妈妈”。driver意为“驾驶员”。key意为“钥匙”。这都不是男孩当时看到的内容。
38．解析：eager意为“渴望，极想，热衷于”，多指对成功的期望或进取的热情，带有更多热切兴奋的情绪，但不含有焦虑担心的意味。从男孩看到汽车后的反应sprang up可判断出他热切的想把水果卖给作者。willing意为“情愿的”，强调不仅自愿，而且还高高兴兴，表现出很大热情。afraid意为“害怕的”，表示做某事时表示出的恐惧感。ashamed常作表语，意思是“羞耻，惭愧，害臊”，这与所提供的情景sprang up矛盾。
39．解析：bargain意为“讨价还价”，指在买东西时与店主讲价钱，力争把价格降到最低点。down与bargain连用表示经讨价还价把价格降到了某一点。根据下文中的to 200 total for the fruit and nuts可判断出作者经过讨价还价，把价格降到200奈拉。get down意为“落下，降下；下车；写下；放下，咽下；使沮丧，使抑郁；开始认真对待，开始认真考虑”。put down意为“记下”。take down意为“拿下，扯下，降下，卸下；卷起；记下；卸下；拆，拆毁(房子)，拆散(头发)，分开；挫其骄气；吞下去，咽下去”。
40．解析：agree意为“同意”，表示同意做某事。根据下文中I handed him a 500 naira [奈拉（尼日利亚货币名）]note.可判断出男孩同意以200奈拉出售自己的水果。explain意为“解释”，指解释不了解的事情，说明某事的形状或结构，追溯它的起源和沿革，讲述它的性能或功用，指出它的原理或述说它的各部分之间的关系。promise意为“允诺，答应”，指许下诺言将做某事。admit意为“承认”，常指由于客观因素所迫，不得不承认某一已经证实的或难以否认的事实，有时也可指在争论中姑且让步，含有不情愿的意味。
41．解析：change意为“零钱”，根据下文中的so I told him not to worry可判断出男孩没有零钱。买水果只需要200奈拉，而作者给了他一张500奈拉的票子，所以需要找零钱。note意为“纸币”，买水果的人没有纸币的可能性是没有的。check意为“支票”，买水果是小本生意，不会使用支票作为付账方式。bill意为“账单”。
42．解析：grateful意为“感恩的，感谢的”，指对他人的帮助或恩惠内心充满感激，含有持续性。由于经讨价还价讲好以200奈拉的价格出售水果，而顾客给了500奈拉，男孩自然会感激万分。troubled意为“为难的，不安的，困惑的；***乱的，不宁的”，指因某事引起心烦意乱，忐忑不安的心情。regretful意为“悔恨的，后悔的，惋惜的，有遗憾的，抱歉的”，表示对自己所做的事感到悔恨。comfortable意为“愉快的，安乐的，舒适的；令人感到安慰的”。都没有正确表达出男孩当时的心情。
43．解析：run into意为“遇到”，强调其偶然性，表示并不是故意遇到某人。根据下文的内容可判断出两天后作者又遇到了同一个男孩。run after意为“追赶”。run over意为“溢出；泛出；(人)走近 (to)；略一过目，匆匆忙忙看一遍；想想看；概括地讲；匆匆排练，急奏(乐谱)；(车辆等)辗过(人)”。run to意为“跑向”。
44．解析：enjoy意为“喜欢”，指因某物或某事而在感官或精神上得到乐趣或满足，侧重于享受感官或心智上的满足或乐趣。protect意为“保护，包庇，守护”。根据短文的内容可判断出作者不是这个国家的保卫者。help意为“帮助”，指帮助某人或某个国家，根据第一段中的I returned to Abuja, the capital of Nigeria, after college graduation. I had been there before my mother became a minister.可判断出作者只不过是部长的儿子，因此不存在帮助这个国家的问题。support意为“支持”。也与上文的内容不相符合。
45．解析：minister意为“部长；阁员，大臣”，根据上文中的I had been there before my mother became a minister.可判断出作者是一位部长的儿子。headmaster意为“校长”。manager意为“经理”。president意为“总统”。都与上文的内容不相符合。
46．解析：common意为“普通的，通常的，寻常的，平常的”，指因许多人或物共同具备而常见，不足为奇。表示看见一个本来应该上学的孩子买水果是一件非常平常的事。lucky意为“运气好的，侥幸的”，指未经努力，完全出于好运、偶然的原因或因素而获得意外的成功或免于受到伤害。amazing意为“令人惊异的”。funny意为“有趣的，好笑的，滑稽的”。
47．解析：broken用于修饰语言时，意为“拙劣的，不合标准”，指断断续续地，很不规范地说某种语言。从下文中的I … I no get money to buy book.可判断出男孩的英语说得既断断续续又不符合英语语法的规定。old意为“古老的”，old English指很久以前人们说的英语，与modern English相比较。traditional意为“传统的，惯例的”。modern意为“现代的”，modern English指现在人们说的英语。
48．解析：nervously意为“紧张地”，着重指精神上不安或激动，可能因性格或所处环境引起，常表现于行为。根据上文中的内容可判断出男孩在接钱之前紧张地向四面看了看。因为1,000奈拉对他来说是一笔巨款。proudly意为“骄傲的”。madly意为“疯狂地，疯狂似地”。curiously意为“好奇地”。
49．解析：for意为“为了”，表示做某事的目的。for the bills为拿到钱币而把手伸进汽车里。with意为“和……一起，和……一块儿，和……同时”。at意为“向，对”，表示动作的目标。upon意为“在……之上”。
50．解析：make后接表示“钱”的名词表示“挣，赚”。从上文中男孩紧张的接过钱币可判断出尼日利亚一个家庭一年才能挣50,000奈拉。spend意为“花费”。pay意为“付(款)，支付；付(代价)，发(薪水)”。afford意为“花费得起”。
51．解析：possibly意为“可能地；也许”，指在能办到或达到的范围之内的可能，也指客观、潜在的可能，可能性小于maybe和probably，暗示实际希望不大，但仍有机会。表示上面所说的话可能是对的。actually意为“实际上”。certainly意为“的确，无疑，一定，必定”，表示非常肯定。fortunately意为“幸运地”。
52．解析：book意为“书”，根据上文中的I … I no get money to buy book.可判断出作者给男孩钱的目的是想让他买书，所以他听了这些话后想知道男孩是否真的把钱花在买书上。joy意为“快乐，高兴”。nut意为“坚果”，指核桃、榛、栗等的果实。banana意为“香蕉”。都不符合上文的内容。
53．解析：realize意为“领悟，了解，体会”，指作者意识到男孩究竟想要什么。ask意为“问”。imagine意为“想像，设想；猜想，推测”，指没有事实根据、仅凭主观想像进行猜想，往往与众所周知的事实相反。remind意为“提醒；使记起”，常指某人或某物使人想起或回忆起可能已经淡忘的情况，也可指以某物或某种方式提醒某人不至于忘记某事。
54．解析：as if意为“好像，似乎”，句子省略了he was。表示当作者把500奈拉递给男孩时，他似乎受到了伤害。when意为“当……的时候”。even if意为“尽管”。after意为“在……之后”。
55．解析：give意为“给”，指把东西亲手当面交给某人。男孩一直等在那儿的目的是把水果给作者。send意为“送”，send多指寄送或通过其他手段送，自己并不一定去送，这与短文提供的情景不相符合。provide意为“提供，供应某物”。sell意为“卖”。

One summer day my father sent me to buy wire for our farm. At 16, I liked 36 better than driving our truck, 37 this time I was not happy. My father had told me I’d have to ask for credit(赊账) at the store.
Sixteen is a 38 age, when a young man wants respect, not charity. It was 1976, and the ugly 39 of racial discrimination was 40 a fact of life. I’d seen my friends ask for credit and then stand, head down, while the store owner 41 whether they were “good for it.” I knew black youths just like me who were 42 like thieves by the store clerk each time they went into a grocery.
My family was 43 . We paid our debts. But before harvest, cash was short. Would the store owner 44 us ?
At Davis’s store, Buck Davis stood behind the cash desk, talking to a farmer. I nodded 45 I passed him on my way to the hardware shelves. When I brought my 46 to the cash desk, I said 47 , “I need to put this on credit.”
The farmer gave me an amused, distrustful 48 . But Buck’s face didn’t change. “Sure,” he said 49 . “Your daddy is 50 good for it.” He 51 to the other man. “This here is one of James Williams’s sons.”
The farmer nodded in a neighborly 52 . I was filled with pride. James William’s son. Those three words had opened a door to an adult’s respect and trust.
That day I discovered that the good name my parents had 53 brought our whole family the respect of our neighbors. Everyone knew what to 54 from a Williams: a decent person who kept his word and respected himself 55 much to do wrong.

A lady and her husband stepped off the train in Boston. They walked without an appointment（预约）into the outer 36 of Harvard’s president. But they were 37 by his secretary and kept waiting.

A few minutes later, the president walked towards the couple with a 41 face. The lady told him, “We had a son that 42 Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard. He was 43 here. But about a year ago, he was accidentally killed. My husband and I would like to 44 a memorial（纪念物）to him, somewhere on campus.”
The president wasn’t 45 . Instead, he was shocked. “Madam,” he said, “we can’t put up a statue for every person who studied at Harvard and died. If we did, this 46 would look like a cemetery（墓地）,” “Oh, no,” the lady 47 quickly. “We don’t want to put up a statue. We would like to give a 48 to Harvard.” The president rolled his eyes and 49 at the couple and then exclaimed, “ A building! Do you have any 50 how much a building costs? We have spent over ＄7,500,000 on the campus building at Harvard.” For a moment the lady was silent. The president was 51 , because he could get rid of them now. Then the lady turned to her husband and said quietly, “Is that all it costs to start a 52 ? Why don’t we just start our own?” Her husband nodded. 53 their offer was turned down.
