36---55        BADBC   AADAC   ABDAC   DBDBC        

解析:

36. B。根據(jù)下文可知小男孩因母親臉上有疤而并不希望她會去參加家長會，但是這是老師的要求，因此他對母親同意去而感到失望。

37. A。 would為will的過去式，程度僅次于must，表示對特定事態(tài)的推測，根據(jù)文意A項最佳。

38. D。meet意為“見面”，這是他的同學和老師第一次與他的母親見面。

39. B。ashamed意為“羞愧的”，因為母親臉上有疤，這又是同學和老師與母親的第一次見面，所以他感到羞愧。

40. C。cover意為“覆蓋”，由nearly the entire right side of her face可知疤痕的面積較大。

41. A。根據(jù)下文可知小男孩對疤痕是怎樣造成的并不知道，且他對此感到羞愧，因此他決不想去談及這件事，talk about意為“談論……”。

42. A。impressed意為“給……留下印象”，母親的友善和美麗給老師和同學留下了深刻的印象。

43. D。in spite of意為“盡管、雖然”。

44. A。hide oneself意為“把自己藏起來”，由embarrassed可知他怕別人取笑，就躲起來。

45. C。however表示轉(zhuǎn)折，他是躲到一邊，然而仍想了解大家對母親的看法，就還是靠近大家，從而聽到母親和老師的談話。

46. A。carefully意為“小心地”，老師想知道疤痕的由來，又擔心傷了母親的自尊心，在詢問時就表現(xiàn)的慎重和小心。

47. B。when意為“在……時候”，，在“我”兒子還是嬰兒的時候，他的房間著火了。

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

49. A。out of control意為“失控”，正是因為火太大，不能控制，大家才不敢進去救人。

50. C。根據(jù)上下文可知雖然母親沖進去救“我”，后來卻是由消防隊員把“我們”救出來，應是母親被木頭敲暈了，而無法救人，也失去了自救的能力。

51. D。touch意為“觸摸”，這是母親談到疤痕時一個不由自主的動作。Point意為“指……”，為不及物動詞，要接to，show（展現(xiàn)）、wipe(擦去)均不符文意。

52. B。母親并不后悔自己的行為，不會認為疤痕很丑，排除A、C、D詞義不符，也排除，lasting意為“永久的”，疤痕會永久地留在母親的臉上。

53. D。盡管疤痕無法去除，但母愛讓她從未對自己因救孩子而受傷感到后悔過。

54. B。a great sense of the sacrifice意為“巨大的犧牲精神”，honor(榮譽)、happiness(幸福)、pride(驕傲)這三個詞的意義不符合。

55. C。小男孩知道真相后就不再感到羞愧，一直呆在母親身邊，緊握她的手以表示感謝和歉意，tightly意為“緊緊地”。
