解析:

第1题,通读全文可知,本文讲述一位慈爱但家境拮据的母亲为女儿婚礼攒钱的故事。母亲传给她的jewellery是她拥有的唯一值钱的东西。故选A。

      第2题,语气转折。

      第3题,上文讲靠出售jewellery而得到一半的钱,本句应表达还有一半到哪里去搞,而不是借或挣。

      第4题,给别人打扫屋子(来挣钱)。

      第5题,stay up意为熬夜。熬夜给别人缝制衣服挣钱。

      第6题,给穿过村子的游客绣花挣钱。

       第7题,gradually逐渐地;frequently经常地;probably可能地;immediately立刻。

      第8题,慢慢地攒的钱多起来了。

      第9题,由上文可知母亲很忙。

      第10题,文末讲到wedding day。

      第11题,由最后一段可知,另外一件好礼物不是某件物品,而是弟弟David要来参加婚礼,故不能选B、C、D三个选项。

第12题,由下文he lent her the money可得知,这里要表达借钱的意思。

第13题,surprised吃惊;frightened害怕;hurt受伤;disappointed失望。

    第14题,张太太从来没有借过钱,因此她的亲戚很奇怪。

    第15题,由下文可知进城去了,故应穿上好衣服。

    第16题,由18空后的posted it可知此处应是买机票。

    第17题,把机票放人信封。

    第18题,由下文可知是寄给David的。

第19题,这里没有别人,故是自言自语。say to oneself,talk to oneself,是固定词组。

第20题,have A with B,让B和A在一起。
