Answer 1

45．D   46．C   47．D   48．A

解析:

45．解析：這是一道細節推斷題。Eddy從澳大利亞飛往倫敦，而Anna “did the same in the opposite direction”可以推斷出她是從倫敦飛往澳大利亞。

46．解析：這是一道猜義題。Miss有兩個意思，思念和錯過。從兩個人在同一候機室但是飛往相反方向可知兩人是錯過了，fail to meet.

47．解析：這是一道細節題。根據“he was missing Anna”和“and started to saving for surprise”可知Eddy是攢錢和Anna相聚。

48．解析：這是道推斷題。根據“Eddy then asked Anna to marry him on the phone”和“…but I accepted”,可知Eddy在電話中向Anna求婚，Anna同意了。
