36-55 ABCCD DBCAA BCDAD BCCAB
36.答案:A
解析:provide意为“提供”。根据下文中的“they couldn’t give much more”可判断出作者的父母亲提供生活必需品。get意为“获得;赚得;赢得,博得,取得”;make意为“做,作,造,制造,做成,造成,建设;创作,著作,拟,起草;制定,设置;征收”;buy意为“买,购”。
37.答案:B
解析:but用于构成并列句,意为“但是”,根据“My parents provided the necessities of life”与“they couldn’t give much more”的意思可判断出它们是转折关系。while表示对比,指“尽管” “虽然”,但程度不如still强烈,所引导的从句多位于主句之前,表示并列关系,指“而”“当……却……”,所引导的分句多位于句末,偶尔位于句首。but表示转折,指和上一分句所述情况相反,上下分句形成对比,一般不用在句首,更不用在句末,后面一般也不加逗号。so意为“因而,所以,那么,这样看来”。or意为“或,或者,还是”。
38.答案:C
解析:ask...for意为“向……请求,要求”。根据下文中的if you want them可判断出表示“如果我向父亲要一条牛仔裤”。ask...about意为“向……问关于……”。ask of后接表示“人”的名词或代词,意为“要求,期望”。
39.答案:C
解析:make the money and buy them是祈使句,其逻辑主语是you,所以要用反身代词yourself,表示“你自己”。
40.答案:D
解析:afford指时间或经济能力可以“花费得起,经受得住”,须与情态动词can,could或be able to搭配。根据上文中的“they couldn’t give much more”可判断出“买不起”。pay意为“付清,偿清,缴纳”;find意为“找到;获得;发现;(偶然)看见,拾得,遇见”;produce意为“生,产生,生产,结(果实)”。
41.答案:D

Hill enrolled(注册) in a wig-making 28 in New York.Back home with what she learned, she started making wigs that she planned to 29 for $300 each.
