19、 3 3.D当作者开始不得不接受没有礼物的现实时,三位好心的女士给 他们送来了礼物。doubt“怀疑”;hope“希望,盼望”;suggest“建 议,表明”;accept“接受”。 4 4.C根据上一题分析可知应该选择 C 项。breakin“强行闯 入”;settledown“定居,安下心来”;turnup“出现,露面”;showoff “炫耀,卖弄”。 5 5.A根据下文 “.IwouldnolongerhavetobeembarrassedwhenIreturnedtoschool. ”可知,作者收到了一个玩具娃娃,所以感觉多少有些安慰。relief “安慰” ;loss “损失;丧失
