真相大白

41-45 FEKIJ 

46-50 HADBC

步步为赢：

41. F。本题选名词，对应后面goodwill。对于圣诞节庆祝方面的词，唯有F符合要求。

42. E。本题选副词。这里说的是圣诞树的普及部分源于曾祖父等人，G选项虽然也是副词，但填入不合适。 

43. K。本题学生容易选A。这里主要说的是这张感人的照片公布于世之后广受欢迎，touching有感人之意。

44. I。本题选名词，这里说的是“今年，我与另一批领导人见面，他们表现出自己希望加入英联邦圈子里”，故选symbol最合适。

45. J。本题考查动名词作句子主语。“聚在树周围使我们有机会畅想未来”。

46. H。本题考查动词原形加固定搭配。reflect on表示反省，回顾。

47. A。本题考查形容词。前句说到想起那些不再联系，已经离开我们身边的人。本句则说失去心爱的人后的第一个圣诞很难熬，故选A。了解到这一点再回看43空就很清楚。

48. D。本题看到后面说把爱给他人，意思是传达给他人，故选D作为介词后面的宾语。

49. B。本空选名词。句后说感恩是为了纪念二战胜利70周年，故填起因cause。

50. C。本空填谓语动词。对于老兵要尊敬。
