One day in September we were doing repair work on my parents’ old house to get it ready for my youngest daughter’s wedding. We had to  36  a great climbing plant that had grown  37  a roof beam（房梁），so that we could repair the roof and   38  the walls.

       When my husband was taking the plant away, he found a  39  of a blackbird that had made its home in the leaves. He then  40  something  41  among that mass of earth and straw of the nest. He broke the earth around it into pieces with his finger tips and, to his  42  ,saw glittering gold. It was a child’s bracelet（手鐲）. He ran into the house to  43  me.

       “You won’t believe that the   44  blackbirds not only steal the best fruit we   45  to feed on,” he said,“but they also want their children to  46  in a cradle（搖擺）of gold!”

       When my daughter came over on the eve of the  47  ,we told her about this   48  occurrence.

       “Don’t you remember, Mother?” she said with a loud   49  .“When I was eight, you gave me a bracelet that I  50  a few days later while out playing in the yard? It was this one!”

       As the bracelet no longer  51  its owner and was dirty, I decided to take it into my safekeeping.

       In December of the following year, the young couple’s baby son was baptized（受洗禮）.Among the   52  the newborn baby received, I placed his mother’s bracelet, now shining like  53  . I hope that if my grandson  54  loses it, one of the   55  that live in my backyard is somewhere nearby.

36---55     ACBAD   CBCDB   ADBCC   ADBDA  


解析:

36、 A

    根據(jù)第一段第一句可知答案。

37、 C

    through縱穿，從……的內(nèi)部穿過，根據(jù)常識可排除；再根據(jù)前面的climbing plant 可排除A、B兩項。此處across意思為橫過，纏繞。

38、 B

    前文提到是對房子進行維修，可排除A項 ；另外，本文沒有提到房子是危房，故可排除C項；print 印刷，與句子意思不符。paint the walls粉刷墻壁。

39、 A

    根據(jù)后文的 that mass of earth and straw of the nest 可知答案。

40、 D

    根據(jù)后一句話可知作者的丈夫這時注意到了有一個發(fā)光的東西。

41、 C

    后文提到這個手鐲是金子做成的，是金子就會發(fā)光。

42、 B

    作者的丈夫本來對房子進行維修，沒料到會發(fā)現(xiàn)這個手鐲。

43、 C

    丈夫發(fā)現(xiàn)并且取出這個手鐲，就興高采烈地把它拿給作者看。

44、 D

    根據(jù)后面的steal 可知答案。

45、 B

    根據(jù)常識可知，小鳥只能偷吃放在外面或長在樹上的果子。

46、 A

    作者的丈夫是在鳥巢里發(fā)現(xiàn)的鐲子，鳥巢就是小鳥躺著休息的地方。

47、 D

    前文提到作者一家對舊房子進行維修的目的就是為了迎接女兒的婚禮。

48、 B

    小鳥“偷”手鐲，的確稀奇。

49、 C

    女兒就要結(jié)婚，手鐲無意之中被找到，又聽父母說了這么一件令人驚訝的事情，她怎能不笑。

50、 C

    作者的丈夫發(fā)現(xiàn)的手鐲就是女兒丟失的那一個。

51、 A

    女兒已經(jīng)長大，她那個小時候所戴的手鐲已不再適合她。

52、 D

    女兒的孩子接受洗禮，作為外公外婆當然得送禮物表示祝賀；另外，從下文作者又把這個手鐲當禮物送給外孫也可得知答案。

53、 B

    金手鐲經(jīng)過清洗妥善保管，又嶄新如初。

54、 D

    ever此處用于條件句，在任何時候。

55、 A

    上文提到作者女兒丟失的手鐲被畫眉偷走，所以作者以幽默的語氣結(jié)尾。“如果外孫再把這個手鐲丟失，我希望再有一只畫眉在附近。
