36---55         ADABD   BCDAD   CCBAD   ACBAD       

解析:

36. A。get a flat 指車胎撒氣了，在行駛過程中應(yīng)當(dāng)是突發(fā)性事件，故選suddenly。

37. D。manage含有經(jīng)過努力而完成某件事的意義，側(cè)重結(jié)果，在車胎爆了之后將車停到路邊并非一件易事。

38. A。spare意為“備用的”，tire指的是輪胎，故選A。

39. B。stop指停車，根據(jù)下文可知Paul和Diane是停下車來幫助Clay。

40. D。根據(jù)文意Paul和Diane是要Clay跟著他們?nèi)�，follow意為“跟隨”。

41. B。找輪胎要去一個熟悉的地方，而人們通常對自己家周圍的情況最清楚。

42. C。agree with意為“同意”，match為及物動詞，go with意為“與……相配”，deal with意為“處理、對付”，此處指沒有與Clay汽車相配的輪胎。

43. D。no luck意為“運氣不好”，從下文看他們始終沒有找到合適的輪胎，可知是指運氣不好。

44. A。a number of 和a chain of 都給人以有“許多”鑰匙的感覺，不合理，故排除；a pair of意為“一雙、一對”，通常指相同的兩件東西，也排除；a set of keys意為“一套鑰匙”。

45. D。won’t用于將來時態(tài)，原文僅是表達將來動作。

46. C。Clay與這對夫婦并不認(rèn)識，對于他們借她用車肯定是感到吃驚，astonished意為“驚訝”。

47. C。根據(jù)上文，可知Clay在這里并不是去說服、建議對方或向?qū)Ψ匠兄Z什么，從而排除A、B、D項。

48. B。Paul是在向Clay說明在她回來時他們會在現(xiàn)在說話的地方。

49. A。B、C項指保持或處于聯(lián)絡(luò)的狀態(tài)中，故排除，且無D項這種搭配，get in touch with意為“與……取得聯(lián)系”。

50. D。通讀全文可知主要人物為Clay與Paul夫婦，故此處選D。

51. A。sent sb off意為“給某人送行”，Paul夫婦幫Clay把行李放進他們的車?yán)�，然后給她送行。

52. C。從上文看，Clay是要開走他們的車兩周，由tow weeks later可知她是返回來了，come應(yīng)后接back，表示“回來”。

53. B。fix意為“修理”，這里指修理收音機，其他三項均不符合文意。

54. A。Paul夫婦不僅幫Clay換了三個新輪胎，還修了收音機，按理Clay是要付錢的，owe意為“欠債”。

55. D。從上句話看，Paul夫婦所做的并是為了錢，而是他們認(rèn)為幫助他人是一件快樂的事。
