答案
36---55 BCADB ACDBB ACDBA CDBAA
解析
36. B。take something/somebody for example是一个固定短语，意思是“以某物或某人作为例子”。在本句中的somebody(the neatly-dressed woman)之后的定语太长了，为了避免头重脚轻，因此把它放在for example之后。
37. C。从to see or to look at on my way to work each morning作者以前经常见到她的。
38. A。what was the weather like是常用句型。
39. D。由下一句说到她穿着厚重的衣服、戴着羊毛手套，再根据选项可推知作者这里谈的是寒冷的下雪天。
40. B。bring something out的意思是“把……拿出来”，引申为“（夏季）她穿出来的衣物……”；take out着重于“随身携带出去”；carry out的意思的“执行；携带出去”；turn out表示“（出乎意料地）结果是……”。
41. A。根据下文作者做出的判断可知。
42. C。第一段提到：我们常见的人或物突然消失后才会意识到他的存在，作者也是在见不到那位女士后，才记起她的衣着。
43. D。表示想见到某人的程度时用how much来修饰。
44. B。作者想见那位女士，换句话说就是思念她。
45. B。由上句“她出事故了吗”可以推出作者在往坏处想，所以选worse(更坏的，更糟糕的)。
46. A。下句的既然她不见了（Now that she was gone）提示这里作者在想她消失了这件事。
47. C。从整篇文章对那位女士的描述看，作者并没有和她交谈或者认识她，只是在她消失后，作者对她的外表、衣着做进一步的回忆，以至于好像认识她似的，这只是作者的感觉。
48. D。由下文提到的日常生活中常见到的例子可知这里填daily ，daily life的意思是“日常生活”，起提示下文的作用。
49. B。牛奶工、街上溜狗的女人等不可能是你的朋友、旅行者或客人，但你会常见到他们但不一定认识，所以说他们是“熟悉的陌生人”。
50. A。从该句的时间状语从句知这些女性每天早晨都溜狗，很有规律，所以选regularly“有规律地”。
51. C。由接下来的话知这些人能够加深我们对一个地方的印象，可见他们在我们的生活中也是非常重要的。
52. D。sense of的意思是“对……的感知”。
53. B。从整个最后一段的意思看，这里是对某种情况做出的假设。
54. A。这句话的意思是我们一直依靠某个特定的建筑来确定自己所处的位置，keep 在这里是保持某种状态的意思。
55. A。这就是作者在上文提到的熟悉的陌生人，即只认得面相却叫不出名字。
