答案
36-40 BACBD 41-45 CADAD 46-50 ADADC 51-55 DBABC
解析
36. point at‘指向’符合情景。Stare at‘盯’,come at‘扑向’,及aim at‘瞄准’都不贴切。
37.与前文chair呼应。
38.惊讶时的举动或表情。Mouth open为独立主格结构作伴随状语,起补充说明的作用。
39.呼应下文gave them to me to hold.
40.根据当时的情景,修饰walk最恰当的副词应该是quietly.
41.  用拖把mop擦洗地板,应该用push。drag 表示‘拽’,pull表示‘拉,拖’,不符合英语表达习惯。
42.  表示‘当……的时候’最自然。
43.  呼应全句和下文护士说的话。
44.  句子意思是‘我很高兴他们终于决定擦洗地板了’。
45.  从后文But aren’t you working late?‘你怎么晚还干活’来推理护士看母亲的神态应该是‘strangely’。
46.  句意是‘每拖一把就让她走得更远’。each swipe…taking her…为伴随状语。
47.  这里应该用until‘一直到’,因为主句动词watch是延续性动词。
48.  呼应前文。意思是‘回到,重新’。turn round意思是‘回头’,turn down 意思是‘关低,拒绝’,turn into是‘变成’的意思。
49.  注意主语和下文。eyes作主语,谓语不能用crying,nervous和sad。Her eyes were shining意思是‘眼睛发亮’,可能是高兴所致,也可能是‘含着泪花’。但是,‘泪’不一定是痛苦的。
50.  注意这里my作为限定词,同时与下文对应。
51.  与前文bow politely 对应。此时应该得知mother想了一个非常聪明的办法去探望了病人。
52.  从下文可知,Dogmas就是mother去探望的病人。better 表示‘好些了’,而well‘健康’与病人意义矛盾。
53.  画龙点睛。rules表示‘规定’。此句说明了mother假扮清洁工进入医院的原因。
54.  与下文as well呼应。
55.  与下文mop和brush呼应。

 Some plays are so successful that they run for years on end. In many ways, this is  36 for the poor actors who are required to go on repeating the sane  37  night after night. One would

  One night, the gaoler decided to play a joke  45  his colleague to find out if, after so many performances, he had managed to learn the  46  of the letter by heart. The curtain went up on the final act of the play and revealed(使显露)the aristocrat sitting alone behind bars in his dark cell. Just then,the gaoler  47 with the precious letter in his hands. He entered the  48 and presented the letter to the aristocrat. But the copy he gave him had not been written out in 
 49  as usual. It was simply a blank sheet of paper. The gaoler looked on eagerly, 50  to see if his fellow actor had at last learnt his lines. The noble stared at the blank sheet of paper for a few seconds. Then,squinting(眯着眼看)his eves,he said,“The light is 51 .Read the letter to me.”And he promptly handed the sheet of paper to the gaoler. 52  that he could not remember a word of the letter either, the gaoler replied,“The light is indeed dim,sir. I must get my  53 ”With this, he hurried off the stage. Much to the aristocrat’s 54 ,the gaoler returned a few moments later with a pair of glasses and the  55  copy of the letter which he proceeded(继续进行)to read to the prisoner.

To Whom It May Concern:
My husband and I got married in 1965 and for the first ten years of our marriage I was very happy to stay home and raise our three children. Then four years ago, our youngest child went to school and I thought I might go back to work.
My husband was very supportive and helped me to make my decision. He emphasized all of the things I can do around the house, and said he thought I could be a great success in business.
After several weeks of job-hunting I found my present job, which is working for a small public relations firm. At first, my husband was very proud of me and would tell his friends , "My clever little wife can run that company she"s working for."
But as his joking remark approached reality, my husband stopped talking to me about my job.I have received several promotions and pay increases , and I am now making more money than he is. I can buy my own clothes and a new car. Because of our combined incomes, my husband and I can do many things that we had always dreamed of doing , but we don"t do these things because he is very unhappy.
We fight about little things and my husband is very critical of me in front of our friends. For the first time in our marriage, I think there is a possibility that our marriage may come to an end.
I love my husband very much, and I don"t want him to feel inferior, but I also love my job.I think I can be a good wife and a working woman, but I don"t know how .Can you give me some advice? Will I have to choose one or the other or can I keep both my husband and my new career?
Please help."Distressed"

I fell in love with England because it was quaint (古色古香的)—all those little houses, looking terribly old fashioned but nice, like doll’s house. I loved the countryside and the pubs, and I loved London. I’ve slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think it’s an ugly town now.
Things have changed. For everybody, England meant gentleman, fair play, and good manners. The fair play is going, unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good manners—people shut doors heavily in your face and politeness is disappearing.
I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places. You are forced to live indoors. In Paris I go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs. To meet friends here usually has to be in a pub, and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman. The cafes are not terribly nice.
As a woman, I feel unsafe here. I spend a bomb on taxis because I will not take public transport after 10 p.m. I used to use it, but now I’m afraid.
The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and that’s typically French. In Middleses I had a neighbor who is 82 now. His family only lived two miles away, but I took him to France for Christmas once because he was always alone.
小题1:The writer doesn’t like London because she___________.
A. is not used to the life there now
B. has lived there for seventeen years
C prefers to live in an old-fashioned house
D. has to be polite to everyone she meets there
小题2: Where do people usually meet their friends in England?
A.In a caféB.In a restaurantC.In a nightclubD.In a pub
小题3:The underlined word “it” in Para.4 refers to__________.
A.a taxiB.the moneyC.a bombD.public transport
小题4:The writer took her neighbor the France for Christmas because she__________.
A.felt lonely in EnglandB.had never been to France
C.was from a typical French familyD.didn’t like the British idea of family
