36---55        BADBC   AADAC   ABDAC   DBDBC        

解析:

36. B。根据下文可知小男孩因母亲脸上有疤而并不希望她会去参加家长会，但是这是老师的要求，因此他对母亲同意去而感到失望。

37. A。 would为will的过去式，程度仅次于must，表示对特定事态的推测，根据文意A项最佳。

38. D。meet意为“见面”，这是他的同学和老师第一次与他的母亲见面。

39. B。ashamed意为“羞愧的”，因为母亲脸上有疤，这又是同学和老师与母亲的第一次见面，所以他感到羞愧。

40. C。cover意为“覆盖”，由nearly the entire right side of her face可知疤痕的面积较大。

41. A。根据下文可知小男孩对疤痕是怎样造成的并不知道，且他对此感到羞愧，因此他决不想去谈及这件事，talk about意为“谈论……”。

42. A。impressed意为“给……留下印象”，母亲的友善和美丽给老师和同学留下了深刻的印象。

43. D。in spite of意为“尽管、虽然”。

44. A。hide oneself意为“把自己藏起来”，由embarrassed可知他怕别人取笑，就躲起来。

45. C。however表示转折，他是躲到一边，然而仍想了解大家对母亲的看法，就还是靠近大家，从而听到母亲和老师的谈话。

46. A。carefully意为“小心地”，老师想知道疤痕的由来，又担心伤了母亲的自尊心，在询问时就表现的慎重和小心。

47. B。when意为“在……时候”，，在“我”儿子还是婴儿的时候，他的房间着火了。

48. D。too…to…表示“太……而不能……”，大家太害怕，而不敢进去。

49. A。out of control意为“失控”，正是因为火太大，不能控制，大家才不敢进去救人。

50. C。根据上下文可知虽然母亲冲进去救“我”，后来却是由消防队员把“我们”救出来，应是母亲被木头敲晕了，而无法救人，也失去了自救的能力。

51. D。touch意为“触摸”，这是母亲谈到疤痕时一个不由自主的动作。Point意为“指……”，为不及物动词，要接to，show（展现）、wipe(擦去)均不符文意。

52. B。母亲并不后悔自己的行为，不会认为疤痕很丑，排除A、C、D词义不符，也排除，lasting意为“永久的”，疤痕会永久地留在母亲的脸上。

53. D。尽管疤痕无法去除，但母爱让她从未对自己因救孩子而受伤感到后悔过。

54. B。a great sense of the sacrifice意为“巨大的牺牲精神”，honor(荣誉)、happiness(幸福)、pride(骄傲)这三个词的意义不符合。

55. C。小男孩知道真相后就不再感到羞愧，一直呆在母亲身边，紧握她的手以表示感谢和歉意，tightly意为“紧紧地”。
