Dear Laura,
I just heard you tell an old story of gift giving and unselfish love in your program. You doubted that such unselfish love would happen in today’s world. Well, I’m here to give you 36 .
I wanted to do something very 37 for my fifteen year old son, who has always been the perfect child. He 38 all summer to earn enough money to buy a used motorcycle. Then, he spent hours and hours on it 39 it looked almost new. I was so 40 of him that I bought him the shiniest helmet and a riding outfit.
I could 41 wait for him to open up his gift. In fact, I barely slept the night before. Upon awakening. I went to the kitchen to 42 the coffee, tea, and morning goodies. In the living room was a beautiful keyboard with a 43 : “To my wonderful mother, all my love, your son.”
I was so 44 . It had been a long standing joke in our family that I wanted a piano so that I could 45 lessons. “L earn to play the piano, and I’ll get you one” was my husband’s 46 .
I stood there shocked, crying a river, asking myself how my son could 47 this expensive gift.
Of course, the 48 awoke, and my son was thrilled(激動的)with my reaction. Many kisses were 49 , and I immediately wanted him to 50 my gift.
As he saw the helmet and outfit, the look on his face was not 51 what I was expecting. Then I 52 that he had sold the motorcycle to get me the keyboard.
Of course I was the proudest mother 53 on that day, and my feet never hit the ground for a month.
So I wanted you to know, that kind of love still 54 and lives even in the ever changing world of me, me, me!
I thought you’d love to 55 this story.
Yours,
Hilary
P.S. The next day, my husband and I bought him a
new “used” already shiny motorcycle.

36.A
解析: Laura不相信當今世界還有無私的愛,作者要給她信心和希望。如果用support(支持)或courage(勇氣)則與作者下文的觀點不符。
37.C
解析:從下文看,作者對自己的兒子感覺很驕傲,所以想給他做一件很特別的事情。
38.D
解析:能夠賺錢的活動只有work(工作),其它選項的活動要么是消費,要么不產生經濟效益。
39.D
解析:把車擦得像新的一樣,他才停了下來。until表示動作持續(xù)到某一時候。
40.C
解析:孩子憑自己的勞動掙了錢,買了摩托車,作媽媽的從心里感到驕傲,自豪。Be proud of意思是“對……感到驕傲,自豪”。
41.D
解析:媽媽精心準備的禮物希望兒子很快看到。用 can hardly wait for sb to do sth表示迫不及待地等候某人作某事。
42.A
解析: 用start表示她正準備去做。
43.A
解析:從后文可以看出,keyboard是兒子給媽媽準備的禮物,一般和禮物在一起的還回有便條或賀卡,后面的文字也恰好證明了這一點。
44.C
解析: 看到出乎意料的禮物,媽媽首先感覺很驚訝。而非confused(迷惑的)或inspired(受鼓舞的)。更談不上disturbed(被打攪的)。
45.B
解析:有鋼琴后才能上鋼琴課,學鋼琴。所以應該是take lessons,而非teach或give。
46.D
解析:這位媽媽多年來一直想擁有一架鋼琴,卻沒能辦到。對她的要求丈夫肯定有所答復,所以選擇response。
47.B
解析:由于這件禮物很昂貴,媽媽不能理解的不是兒子怎么找到(find)或怎么訂購(order),而是怎么能承受起(afford)高昂的費用。
48.D
解析:接受禮物的場景一定是歡天喜地,作者感覺房間(house)被吵醒了,但要是說吵到了neighbor(鄰居)和building(大樓),還是不大可能。
49.A
解析:因高興感激,而互相擁抱親吻,是西方國家親人之間常見的表達方式。所以選擇了exchanged。
50.B
解析:西方人所贈送的禮物,一般喜歡當面打開。何況這是媽媽送給心愛兒子的禮物。
51.D
解析:媽媽慧眼看到兒子臉上表情的細微變化, 用exactly(正確地,確切地)可以很好地表達這一點。
52.A
解析:兒子的所做一直瞞著媽媽,直到看到兒子送給自己的禮物,看到兒子在接受自己禮物時的細微表情變化,媽媽才突然意識到了什么。
53.C
解析:用ever來 加強最高級的語氣,表示比以往任何時候都更驕傲和自豪。
54.B
解析:和文章開頭對應來看,作者以自己親身經歷的故事來證明給朋友,這種無私的愛仍然是存在(exists)的。
55.C
解析:作者寫這封信,是想通過自己的經歷給朋友以信心和希望,是希望和朋友來分享(share)這個難忘的故事,并沒有其他的目的。

Dear Laura,
Hi! I am Veronica, your new pen friend from Singapore. I got your name and address from the Making Pen Pals' Column in Buddies magazine and thought I'd write to you. Well, let me start by telling you something about myself. I am 13 years old and I am studying in secondary one at Westdove School. I have just finished my exams. I live with my parents and younger sister in a five room apartment. I like swimming, playing tennis and reading novels. I love the outdoors, especially the sea and I have been on several trekking (long and hard) tours abroad. I enjoy listening to both pop and classical music. My favorite food is pizza and I love making it myself because I like to make it with lots of cheese and pepper. To sum it up, I am a talkative, caring and patient person.
