41．答案：D。解析：Jennifer和Valerie自從三年級(jí)就是朋友，所以他們有著共同的中學(xué)經(jīng)歷。share的意思是“共同享有”。
42．答案：C。解析：從上下文看，兩個(gè)學(xué)生驅(qū)車(chē)參加他們中學(xué)生活的最后一件事--中學(xué)畢業(yè)典禮。
43．答案：A。解析：although引導(dǎo)讓步狀語(yǔ)從句，從下文可知，他們雖然是親密朋友，卻在很多方面有差異。
44．答案：A。解析：從下文看，Jennifer是一個(gè)相當(dāng)用功的學(xué)生，而Valerie只是在混日子，勉強(qiáng)畢業(yè)。while用作并列連詞，意思是“而；然而”，表示轉(zhuǎn)折對(duì)比。get by有“勉強(qiáng)混過(guò)；僥幸過(guò)去”的意思。
45．答案：D。解析：根據(jù)空前后的結(jié)構(gòu)和句意，應(yīng)選D。Valerie不用功，主要對(duì)好的社會(huì)生活感興趣。
46．答案：B。解析：我們大家都完成了中學(xué)學(xué)業(yè)，多好��！great在口語(yǔ)中有“美妙的”的意思。
47．答案：C。解析：能在暑假里盡興地玩肯定很好。must表示推測(cè)時(shí)，語(yǔ)氣較強(qiáng)，用于肯定句，而can用于否定句和疑問(wèn)句。
48．答案：A。解析：上文講到，Jennifer不去游玩，而是打算在暑假的大部分時(shí)間打工，以支付上大學(xué)的費(fèi)用。由此推斷，她的父母只有很少的收入。
49．答案：B。解析：假期打工為父母分憂(yōu)，她決心找一份工作，這樣就買(mǎi)得起父母不能提供的所有東西。
50答案：D。解析：一方面，Jennifer家境不太好；另一方面，Valerie卻來(lái)自一個(gè)相當(dāng)富有的家庭。on the other hand常用于二者對(duì)比。
51．答案：A。解析：what引導(dǎo)的賓語(yǔ)從句作for的賓語(yǔ)，what在從句中作take … for granted的賓語(yǔ)。
52．答案：A。解析：Valerie實(shí)話(huà)實(shí)說(shuō)，所以選用admit（承認(rèn)）。
53．答案：C。解析：她的叔叔已邀她去巴哈馬過(guò)一年，在他開(kāi)的飯店里當(dāng)女招待。
54．答案：D。解析：這份工作會(huì)給她提供足夠的時(shí)間在巴哈馬群島的海灘上游玩。

My brother-in-law opened the bottom drawer of my sister's bureau(衣櫥) and picked out a wonderful skirt. "Jan bought this the first time we went to New York, at least 8 or 9 years ago. She never wore it. She was saving it for a special occasion.” Well, I guess this is the occasion.

(B)
Last week, while visiting my dad with my daughter, we went to a restaurant for dinner. When we were seated, my dad asked the waitress if there were any soldiers eating at the restaurant. Then waitress said there was a soldier having dinner with his friend. My dad told the waitress to tell the soldier and his friend that their dinner was paid for! He also said that he did not want to be known as the benefactor(施主).
Then waitress later commented on my dad’s thoughtful behavior saying that she had never seen anything like this before. At a local college, she had studied opera and so she used this to thank my dad by performing a piece from The Pearl Fisherman. Her voice brought me to tears because it sounded perfect!
After a while, the soldier appeared at our table (I don’t know how he knew my dad paid the bill for him.) and said that he would be sent to the front the next morning and that he could not leave this country without saying “thanks” to my dad. My dad replied that it was he who wanted to say “thanks”. They shook hands as the soldier left.
Before we left, the waitress came by again. She did a magic show as another way to show her “thanks” to my dad. Her show was really great. My dad left her a note with email address asking for her next performance time in addition to a $ 50 tip.
Everyone witnessed something exemplary in the human spirit that night. I can only hope to see more of this in the future.
