解析：

滴水之恩，涌泉相报。凯利医生小时候为了攒够学费正挨家挨户地推销商品。饥寒交迫之时他得到了一位女士的一大杯牛奶。数年之后，当这名女士生病住院，正为医药费发愁时，医药费通知单上“医药费已付：一杯牛奶。”的签字使她简直难以相信。给她治病的医生正是当年的小男孩。

36．B    他很饿，所以他就到下一户去乞讨。

37．A    lose one’s nerve是“不知所措”之意。其它不合句意。

38．D    这个妇女不是给他一杯水，而是给他一杯牛奶，可见她认为这个孩子饿了。

39．A    “你不欠我什么。”

40．C    “我妈妈教导我，施以爱心，不图回报。”

41．B    “那么，就请接受我由衷的感谢吧！”

42．A    喝了牛奶之后，这男孩感到浑身有劲了。physically是“体力上”之意。

43．D    quit用作不及物动词，“停下来，停止”之意。本来，他都打算放弃了。（但在放弃之前，他停了下来。）

44．C    根据常理判断，应该是“数年之后”。

45．D    后面提到study her rare disease，可见这妇女得了重病。

46．D    call in“叫/请过来”之意。

47．D    从后面看Howard Kelly医生被人家请来会诊，且有批准减免医药费的权力，故选famous比较合适。

48．B    “（直接）听到”用heard。

49．A    当他听到病人来自的那个城镇的名字时，一个奇怪的念头霎时间闪过他的脑际。

50．C    他马上认出了恩人。

51．B    case 在此是“病案”之意。

52．A    win 通常与war搭配。不与defeat, beat搭配，lose the war与此处的意境不合。

53．D    本题可从语法角度考虑。requested后面的宾语从句要用虚拟语气。Kelly医生要求总务部门把那个妇女的医疗费最终账单送过来让他批准。

54．B    治病的费用将会花费她整个余生来偿还。

55．D    catch one’s attention是“吸引某人的注意”之意。
