Answer 1

46．B．考查副词的用法．根据下文winter never gave me the special gift of snow on my birthday，作者喜欢雪而在生日愿意让下雪，可冬天从没有给"我"这个礼物，可推知这种情况应该是不幸的．故选B．
47．D．考查特殊疑问词的用法．根据I would ask my grandmother--it didn't snow on my birthday．可知这里的意思是"我"问祖母为什么在生日时不下雪，故选D．
48．A．考查连词的用法．根据She would laugh and tell me I asked too many questions．--one day，she promised（许诺）that she would make it snow on my next birthday．可知上文中提到了"大笑"和下文的"许诺"，所以应该表示转折．故选A．
49．C．考查介词的用法．根据…my birthday，my grandmother died，I was sad but angry because she had promised to make it snow可知这里作者还没有过生日，所以才会对祖母曾经的许诺感到悲伤和生气，故应该是指过生日前，在某某之前应该用before．故选C．
50．B．考查动词的用法．根据I woke up and ran to the window，--to see just one snowflake．hoping在此表示现在分词做伴随状语．故选B．
51．D．考查动词的用法．根据By my sixteenth birthday，I--all hope of getting my snow，可知句意为"在我16岁生日的时候，我已经失去了得到雪的所有希望．"根据标志词by可以判断用过去完成时态，指过去之过去．故选D．
52．A．考查代词的用法．根据I--all hope of getting my snow，可知这里指的雪，故用it来代替．故选A．
53．A．考查动词的用法．根据I--the best time ever，可知．"我"过得最开心，had the best time过得最开心； 故选A．
54．D．考查非谓语动词的用法．根据Then I saw the white snow--down all around．可知"我"看见下雪了．这里是短语see sth falling，这里the white snow与fall之间是主动关系，用现在分词强调正在进行，故用D．
55．B．考查介词的用法．根据My friends all laughed--me，but I didn't care．可知这里考查了laugh at sb．意为"嘲笑某人"．故选B．
56．C．考查动词的用法．根据When I--home，my grandpa said he had a gift for me．可知这里的意思是当"我"到家时，"我"的祖父给了"我"一个礼物，在这里到家应该是get home，因为home为副词，所以，不能加介词．故选C．
57．B．考查形容词的用法．根据because he had given me a gift．可知这里的意思是因为祖父已经给了"我"一个礼物，现在又给我，所以"我"感到困惑，故选B．
58．B．考查动词的用法．根据There was a crystal snowflake（水晶雪花） with a card that--，"Happy Birthday．"可知表示在卡片上写着用"said"而不用wrote，为习惯用法．故选B．
59．C．考查名词的用法．根据My grandpa said it was my grandmother's final--on my"sweet sixteenth"．可知"我"的祖父说那是"我"祖母给"我"的16岁生日的最后愿望，故选C．
60．A．考查形容词的用法．联系上文收到祖母爱的礼物，根据I was--that my smiling grandmother angel was and had been watching over me．可知我"确信"我"的微笑的祖母天使一直在看着"我"，certain"表示"确信的"．故选A．
