53、如果你是在探望自己的父母,他们又有经济能力而且又坚持每一样东西都由他们付款的话,可以不必一定坚持在买食物的时候为他们付款。D选项讲述了在上述的情况下,如果你坚持自己付款,可能会导致的不良结果:损伤他们的感情。20B上句提到无论拜访的是谁,一定要让对方知道你很感激他们的盛情款待。B选项提出的正是表达这种感激的方式之一:在你离开的前一天晚上请对方吃一顿饭。而下一句提出的是另一种表达感激的方式:在离开的时候给他们送一些鲜花。 第二部分语言运用(共两节,满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分) 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Gora
