Answer 1

本文介绍了小作者从小就喜欢雪，希望在生日那天得到雪。她的祖母就许诺会给她的，不幸地是她的祖母在生日前去世了。她很生气。后来，结果证明了她的祖母临终的愿望也没有忘记给她礼物。

46. B 根据句意“在我生日那天，冬天从来都没有给我一个特殊的礼物。”所以，应该是“不幸地”。故选B。

47. C when意为“什么时候”；how意“如何”；whether意为“是否”；why意为“为什么”。句意为“我将问问我的奶奶为什么在我生日那天不下雪。”故选C。

48. A根据上文中提到了“大笑”和下文的“许诺”，所以，应该表示转折。故选A。

49. C 根据下文，作者还没有过生日，所以“在生日之前”。故选C。

50. B  hoping在此表示现在分词做伴随状语。故选B。

51. D 句意为“在我16岁生日的时候，我已经失去了得到雪的所以希望。”根据标志词by可以判断用过去进行时态。故选D。

52. A 用it来指代“雪”，snow不可数，故选A。
