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.

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(guò)，根據(jù)常識(shí)可排除；再根據(jù)前面的climbing plant 可排除A、B兩項(xiàng)。此處across意思為橫過(guò)，纏繞。

38、 B

    前文提到是對(duì)房子進(jìn)行維修，可排除A項(xiàng) ；另外，本文沒(méi)有提到房子是危房，故可排除C項(xiàng)；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(shí)注意到了有一個(gè)發(fā)光的東西。

41、 C

    后文提到這個(gè)手鐲是金子做成的，是金子就會(huì)發(fā)光。

42、 B

    作者的丈夫本來(lái)對(duì)房子進(jìn)行維修，沒(méi)料到會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)這個(gè)手鐲。

43、 C

    丈夫發(fā)現(xiàn)并且取出這個(gè)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(shí)可知，小鳥(niǎo)只能偷吃放在外面或長(zhǎng)在樹(shù)上的果子。

46、 A

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

47、 D

    前文提到作者一家對(duì)舊房子進(jìn)行維修的目的就是為了迎接女兒的婚禮。

48、 B

    小鳥(niǎo)“偷”手鐲，的確稀奇。

49、 C

    女兒就要結(jié)婚，手鐲無(wú)意之中被找到，又聽(tīng)父母說(shuō)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(gè)。

51、 A

    女兒已經(jīng)長(zhǎng)大，她那個(gè)小時(shí)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(dāng)然得送禮物表示祝賀；另外，從下文作者又把這個(gè)手鐲當(dāng)禮物送給外孫也可得知答案。

53、 B

    金手鐲經(jīng)過(guò)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(shí)候。

55、 A

    上文提到作者女兒丟失的手鐲被畫(huà)眉偷走，所以作者以幽默的語(yǔ)氣結(jié)尾�！叭绻鈱O再把這個(gè)手鐲丟失，我希望再有一只畫(huà)眉在附近。
