During the two days, he visited a lot of places, like the Palace Museum and the Summer Palace. “Thanks to the trip, I can know Beijing better,” said Zhang.

51. 我最好的朋友Linda和我有一些共同之处。
My best friend Linda and I have some things ________ ________.
【答案】 ①. in ②. common

52. 她像我一样外向，我们两个人都很勤奋。
She is ________ ________ ________ me. and we are both hard-working.
【答案】 ①. as ②. outgoing ③. as
【解析】
【详解】分析中英文可知缺少“像……一样外向”，“像……一样……”运用结构“as+形容词/副词原级+as”，is后用形容词“外向的”outgoing作表语。故填as；outgoing；as。
53. Linda和我也有许多不同。例如，她不能忍受情景喜剧，因为她认为那些故事都是编造的。
Linda and I also have many differences. For example, she ________ ________ soap operas, because she thinks those stories are ________ ________.
【答案】 ①. can’t ②. stand ③. made ④. up
【解析】
【详解】分析中英文可知缺少“不能忍受”和“编造”，且时态是一般现在时。“不能”can’t，后接动词原形，“忍受”stand；“编造”make up，those stories作主语，和make up之间是动宾关系，故用被动语态，are后加过去分词构成被动语态，make的过去分词是made。故填can’t；stand；made；up。

55. 尽管她在许多方面不同于我，我们关心并照顾彼此，而且我们分享问题，彼此从来不保守秘密。
Though she is different from me in many ways, we ________ ________ and ________ ________ each other. And we share problems and never ________ them to ________.
【答案】 ①. care ②. about ③. look ④. after ⑤. keep ⑥. ourselves
【解析】
【详解】根据中文意思可知本题考查动词短语care about“关心”，look after“照顾”和keep...to oneself“保密”，由语境可知句子时态为一般现在时，主语为we，所以动词应用原形，同样因为主语为we，所以最后一空的反身代词应用ourselves“我们自己”，故填care；about；look；after；keep；ourselves。
