Answer 1

分析 本文写了作者想通过捐献东西来教育孩子，但是孩子的行为却教育了我们，捐出我们不用的东西很容易，但是捐出我们热爱的东西很难．

解答 41．in  考查固定短语．be in trouble 是英语中的固定短语"在困境中"，根据句意：那些在困境中的家庭，所以答案填in．
42．was reading  考查时态．根据句意：我正在读报纸的时候，所以用过去进行时，所以答案填was reading．
43．would be 考查时态．根据句意：我认为这将是一次很好的机会来教育孩子，因为整个故事都是过去时，所以用过去将来时would be．
44．less lucky  考查比较级．根据句子结构than的前边必须用比较级，根据句意：应该是那些运气不佳的人，所以答案填less luck"运气更差的"．
45．what 考查名词性从句．分解句子可知we have with them这是一个宾语从句，宾语从句中have后边缺宾语，所以用what来引导，what在从句中做宾语．
46．to choose  考查固定短语．encourage sb to do sth是英语的固定短语"鼓励某人做某事"，根据句意：鼓励孩子们选择他们的玩具捐出来，所以答案填to choose．
47．as 考查连词．当孩子们拿出他们旧的玩具的时候，Meghan静静地看着，as"当…的时候"．
48．later 考查固定短语．  根据句意：几分钟之后的英文表达是：A few minutes later．
49．me  考查代词．根据句意：Lucy让我高兴．此处的代词"我"是make的宾语，所以用宾格代词me．
 50．to give 考查非谓语．本句中it是形式主语，真正的主语是动词不定式 to give something that we don't want any more．
