答案

36--55 DBABC AADBC CBDDC DABCC

解析

36 本句句意为：像很多人一样，我生来就认为生活就是获得，直到三十多岁的时候才发现，放弃或给予也会使得生活如此精彩。再者，后文也提到了这种发现。
37 你缺钱也无须担心，因为生活并不只是一味的索取。
38 下文列举的事例都是作者生活中经历的事情。
39 本句主语为 an idea。主意在某人脑海中闪现用flash 。happen to …发生在某人身上；stick to坚持; lead to导致，其宾语一般不为人。
40 根据前文提到的neighborhood store可知答案。
41 story故事，事情。出现事故，警察应了解事情的经过真相。damage 破坏；challenge 挑战；material物质，材料。
42 根据后文tell him about it 可知作者是打电话告诉警察事情的经过。
43 作者虽然不负责这里的事情，但他却主动帮助警察了解事故经过。
44 上文列举的事例都表明作者想主动帮助别人而不希望得到什么。
45 return回报。根据转折连词though和下文所列举的事例表明，帮助别人有时候在不经意时也会得到回报。
46 根据下文的postmaster说的话中可知答案。
47 address此处为动词，注明……的地址。信上标明收信人的地址是我办公室的地址，但邮递员却把它送到了我的家里。
48 appreciation欣赏，赞赏。邮递员把本来该送到办公室的信送到家里，人们通常只会责备他们，而作者却与此相反，非但没有责备，而是写了一封表扬信。他也因此得到了回报。
49 本句为定语从句，横线上所缺动词的宾语为new business 。deal 为不及物动词，故排除。作者开办了一项新的业务。
50 结合上下文可知，邮局里已没有剩余的邮箱，但作者原来无意的付出却使得邮递员愿意为他做一个。
51 邮局里没有剩余的邮箱，要想安装邮箱，只能等到有的时候。
52 作者被告知已没有邮箱，只好离开。
53 根据故事发生的地点，可排除C，D。另外，根据介词in排除A项。作者正要离开，邮递员在门口拦住了他。
54 本句句意为在这个邮局里，你应该得到一个邮箱，即便是我们给你做一个。in case以防; now that既然,因为；as if 好像。
55 本题考查not …but…结构。不是………而是……。邮递员从顾客那里一般不会得到任何东西，只有抱怨

The woman had the boy in her arms by now and a shy smile came upon her face．Gently brushing his hair out of his eyes, she said, “Yes, he’s very smart and curious, but sometimes he wears me out．” My friend responded sympathetically(表示同情地), “Yes, they can do that; they are so full of energy．”
