7.I had hidden the long black bag in the garage(车库) for the past two days.Tonight,in the dark,I would finally take it away.If everything went OK,it would be done by morning.But I had to be sure no one,not even my wife,saw me.
It was more difficult to get away from the party than I expected.I said that the children were tired and needed to get to bed.It was partly true.But the main reason for leaving was that I wanted to complete my plan.
First I had to get the kids to sleep.That was never easy at any time and tonight it was even more difficult.The eldest one wanted to know why we left the party early.I told him 10:30pm was not early.As usual,I read them a bed-time story,but I had to stop myself reading too quickly or they would learn my secret.
Silence finally came,and feeling like a thief in the night,I went out of the house and into the garage.Taking one end,I dragged the bag out from its hiding place and took it into the garden.I was worried that my neighbors might hear me and call the police.
It was already eleven o'clock.By the light of the moon I started working,trying to make as little noise as possible.And that was not easy with a saw (锯子) and a hammer(铁锤).
After much effort,my work was finally completed.I looked down at my watch.It was exactly 4:00am.Then I went inside to have a shower and get a few hours of sleep.It wouldn't be long now before the kids would rush into my room and wake me up to tell me about the new tree-house Father Christmas had brought them this year.

分析 我把一个长黑色的包裹藏在车库里两天了.今天晚上我终于可以把它拿走了.如果一切顺利,早上之前就做完了.但是我必须确定没有人看到我,甚至我的妻子.
离开聚会比我想象的更困难.我说孩子们累了需要上床睡觉.这句话中有一部分是真实的,但离开的主要原因是我想完成我的计划.
首先,我不得不让孩子睡觉.让孩子睡觉这件事情从来就不是一件简单的事情,今晚就更加困难了.老大想知道为什么我们提前离开了派对,我告诉他10:30已经不早了.平时,我会给他们读一个睡前故事,但今天我不得不提醒自己不要阅读的太快,以免他们发觉了我的秘密.
终于迎来了寂静,感觉自己像一个深夜里的小偷,我走出房子进入车库.我把包从它藏的地方拿出来并把它带到花园里.我担心我的邻居可能会因为听到我的声音而报警.
已经十一点钟了.在月光的照射下我开始工作,试图尽可能的减少噪音,而使用锯和锤子想要不发出声音真的很难.
经过多番努力,我的工作终于完成了.我低头看了看手表,正好是上午四点整.于是我去里面洗了个澡,睡了几个小时.过不了多久我的孩子们便会赶到我的房间并叫醒我,告诉我圣诞老人给他们的新木屋.
解答 51.A.细节理解题.根据第一段,这个人在车库里把包藏了两天,而今天晚上他要拿走,而且必须保证没有人看见他,甚至是他的妻子,因此他做这件事情瞒着自己的家人,而在自己的家中瞒着家人做事,是会紧张的,即nervous;
52.C.词义猜测题.根据这个词所在的句子,As usual,I read them a bed-time story,but I had to stop myself reading too quickly or they would learn my secret.可知,平时孩子们睡觉这个人会给孩子们讲睡前故事,但是今天由于他有任务,时间紧,因此他很着急,但是他又不能把故事讲的太快,因为如果太快,孩子们会感觉不对劲,从而learn他的秘密,根据前后分析可知,这里的learn的意思是知道;
53.B.细节理解题.根据据短文描述的先后顺序可知这个人先去了聚会,之后以孩子困了需要睡觉为由带孩子们走了.回来后给孩子们读故事,然后把袋子从车库里拖出来,之后在月光下工作,工作后洗澡并睡了几个小时,按照时间的先后顺序排列即可.故选B.
54.D.细节理解题.根据It wouldn't be long now before the kids would rush into my room and wake me up to tell me about the new tree-house Father Christmas had brought them this year.可知,这个人知道不久后他们的孩子会冲进他的房间,激动的告诉他圣诞老人给他们建了新树屋,而且从上文And that was not easy with a saw (锯子) and a hammer(铁锤).可知这个人的工作红用到了锯和锤子,因此可知这个人神神秘秘的工作一晚上就是为了建造新的木屋,这个人就是孩子眼中的圣诞老人;
55.B.推理判断题.根据54的描述,这个人做了一个新的木屋当作给孩子们的圣诞礼物,而且孩子们认为这个礼物是圣诞老人给的,因此文章中描述的这个事情应该发生在圣诞节之前,即B.
