Answer 1

26---30 CDBAD 31---35 ABCAD 36---40 CDBDD 41---45 BACCD
详 26．C 从上句可知，祖父是一个voluntary carpenter （义务工匠），从下文可知，祖父制作（build）木箱给孤儿院，故选C．
27．D 从下文第四段可知，"he came to my grandfather's small church in Chicago．"孤儿院负责人来到祖父在芝加哥的小教堂，感谢支持过他们的教堂，所以此处空格的句子应该是教堂（church）送木箱给孤儿院，故选D．
28．B 空格处句子理解为"在回家的路上，他发现（found）眼镜不见了"，故选B．
29．A 空格前面说"他在脑海里回想了他之前的行为"，然后就意识到（realize）眼镜滑出了他的口袋，故选A．
30．D 这里考查并列连词，"眼镜划出口袋"和"掉在箱子里面"两个句子是并列关系，故选D．
31．A 从空格前面的"这不公平"和后面句子的抱怨可知，祖父现在的心情应该是不好的或者生气的（angry），应该选一个贬义的形容词，故选A．
32．B 空格处句子应该理解为"我对我的工作一直这么忠实，现在却是这种情况（指的是丢了眼镜）"，be faithful to：对…忠实
33．C 空格处应理解为"几个月后"，later是副词，意为"…之后"，注意区别B latter，这是一个形容词，意思是"后者的"．
34．A 从下一段"He began by thanking the people"可知，孤儿院负责人是要来感谢支持（support）过他们的教堂，故填A．
35．D 空格处句子应理解为"负责人开始为祖父他们的善举（kindness）而感谢他们"，故选D．
36．C 从下文提到的负责人的眼镜坏了刚好用了祖父的眼镜可知，此处理解为"他感谢去年祖父‘送'的眼镜（glasses）"，故选C．
37．D be broken：表示坏了的一种状态，主语是glasses，属于复数形式，时态是一般过去时，因此be动词要选用were，故选D．
38．B 空格处句子应理解为"虽然我有钱，但根本（simly）没有什么办法可以取代他们"，故选B．
39．D 空格处句子应理解为"我没办法看得清，每天都要经历（experience）头痛"，故选D．
40．D 空格处句子应理解为"当我打开（remove）盖子的时候，我发现眼镜躺在上面"，remove意为"去除；脱掉；拿下"，故选D．
41．B 空格处句子应理解为"当我试着戴上眼镜的时候，就好像眼镜是为我量身定做的一样"，try on意为"试穿"，故选B．
42．A 同上一句解释"当我试着戴上眼镜的时候，就好像（as though）眼镜是为我量身定做的一样"，故选A．
43．C 空格处句子应理解为"在场的人听着，都对这双神奇的眼镜很好奇"，be curious for：对…好奇．故选C．
44．C 从前文可知，眼镜是祖父不小心掉下的，而不是他们送的，因此"在场的人都很奇怪（strange），因为在他们的送礼清单上并没有眼镜这个东西"，故选C．
45．D 同上一句解释，"在场的人都很奇怪（strange），因为在他们的送礼清单上并没有眼镜这个东西"，on one's list：在…的清单上，故选D．
