解析:

36. B。根据下文可知小男孩因母亲脸上有疤而并不希望她会去参加家长会,但是这是老师的要求,因此他对母亲同意去而感到失望。

37. A。 would为will的过去式,程度仅次于must,表示对特定事态的推测,根据文意A项最佳。

38. D。meet意为“见面”,这是他的同学和老师第一次与他的母亲见面。

39. B。ashamed意为“羞愧的”,因为母亲脸上有疤,这又是同学和老师与母亲的第一次见面,所以他感到羞愧。

40. C。cover意为“覆盖”,由nearly the entire right side of her face可知疤痕的面积较大。

41. A。根据下文可知小男孩对疤痕是怎样造成的并不知道,且他对此感到羞愧,因此他决不想去谈及这件事,talk about意为“谈论……”。

42. A。impressed意为“给……留下印象”,母亲的友善和美丽给老师和同学留下了深刻的印象。

43. D。in spite of意为“尽管、虽然”。

44. A。hide oneself意为“把自己藏起来”,由embarrassed可知他怕别人取笑,就躲起来。

45. C。however表示转折,他是躲到一边,然而仍想了解大家对母亲的看法,就还是靠近大家,从而听到母亲和老师的谈话。

46. A。carefully意为“小心地”,老师想知道疤痕的由来,又担心伤了母亲的自尊心,在询问时就表现的慎重和小心。

47. B。when意为“在……时候”,,在“我”儿子还是婴儿的时候,他的房间着火了。

48. D。too…to…表示“太……而不能……”,大家太害怕,而不敢进去。

49. A。out of control意为“失控”,正是因为火太大,不能控制,大家才不敢进去救人。

50. C。根据上下文可知虽然母亲冲进去救“我”,后来却是由消防队员把“我们”救出来,应是母亲被木头敲晕了,而无法救人,也失去了自救的能力。

51. D。touch意为“触摸”,这是母亲谈到疤痕时一个不由自主的动作。Point意为“指……”,为不及物动词,要接to,show(展现)、wipe(擦去)均不符文意。

52. B。母亲并不后悔自己的行为,不会认为疤痕很丑,排除A、C、D词义不符,也排除,lasting意为“永久的”,疤痕会永久地留在母亲的脸上。

53. D。尽管疤痕无法去除,但母爱让她从未对自己因救孩子而受伤感到后悔过。

54. B。a great sense of the sacrifice意为“巨大的牺牲精神”,honor(荣誉)、happiness(幸福)、pride(骄傲)这三个词的意义不符合。

55. C。小男孩知道真相后就不再感到羞愧,一直呆在母亲身边,紧握她的手以表示感谢和歉意,tightly意为“紧紧地”。

Eighty-year-old retired tailor, James McKay, spent Saturday night in jail after     thirty-year-old Keith Smith over the head       his walking stick. McKay's wife, Laurence told us that while McKay is usually a       person, he had been       to this act of violence by getting wet just once too often.

Smith lives above the McKays and it appears that not only is he a keen gardener, he is also a       collector. Unfortunately for him, the water he sent over his balcony every day ended up on the McKay's, or too often, on the McKays      .

“For the last fortnight, since Smith moved into the flat above us, we have hardly dared to go to our      ,” said Laurence. She added that it wasn't so much the water falling onto their balcony from Smith watering his plant       bothered them, it was more the way he cleaned his fish tanks. “We'd be       there happily reading our newspapers, when       so much water would come from above that we'd be as wet as if we'd       with our clothes on! Neither could we get rid of the       of fish!”

And on Saturday evening it was just too      . “It was James's birthday,” explained Laurence, “and I'd made him a birthday cake. The candles were a great sight as you can imagine, but James didn't get to blow them out.”      , Smith emptied one of his larger tanks over his balcony and both the McKays and the cake were wet      . Rarely had Laurence seen McKay move so fast. “I couldn't       him. He was up there in a flash. It was the fastest I'd seen him move since 1964.”

Smith is not going to take things further with the police. He has also promised to change his       from now on. And what of James McKay?       he left the police station, a large crowd of supporters sang him, “Happy Birthday”. “      the most exciting birthday      !” said the cheerful old man. “The best since my adolescence I'd say!”

   If life gets   35   and you are at your breaking point, show resilience. Like the bamboo tree, bend, but don't break!
