【解析】这是一篇夹叙夹议类的文章。作者将钱包落在了公共汽车上，一个陌生人Erin捡到了作者的钱包，在寒冷的黑夜亲自登门归还钱包。作者深受感动，体会到人们还是愿意互相帮助的。
41. 本题考查语境判断之其他线索。句意：我只可能把它留在G9巴士上了，那辆巴士现在在
黑暗中飞驰到某个未知的车站。A. accessible可进入的；B. hidden隐藏的；C. unknown未知的；D. convenient方便的。根据前文的“fear seized me. My wallet was gone.（恐惧笼罩着我，我的钱包不见了）”可以推知，作者将钱包落在了公共汽车上，而汽车又正在开往某个作者未知的地方，这使得回钱包的希望渺茫，因此作者心生“恐惧”。故选C。
42. 本题考查语境判断之其他线索。句意：令人心悸的那一刻之后，紧接着的是心算。A. face-saving保全体面的；B. brain-washing洗脑的；C. eye-catching引人注目的；D. heart-stopping令人心悸的，惊心动魄的。根据上一段中的“fear seized me”可以推知，作者在发现丢了钱包之后的第一感觉是“害怕”，之后，作者开始在内心计算回钱包里的那些东西所需要的时间和钱数。故该空应和fear表达的意思相近，故选D。这个词没学过，学会把词组合起来猜测。
43. 本题考查语境判断之其他线索。句意：换掉那个小钱包里的东西需要多少时间和金钱？A. parts部分；B. contents所含之物，所容纳之物，内容；C. details细节；D. ingredients原料，要素。该空指下文中提到的“The credit cards, the driver’s license, the cash,”这些都是钱包里装的东西。故选B。
44. 本题考查语境判断之逻辑关系。句意：我丈夫应门的，我在餐厅打电话。A. ignored忽视；B. answered应（门）；接（电话）；应答；C. examined考试，检查，检测；D. interrupted打断。两小时后有人敲门，丈夫去应门。故选B。
45. 本题考查语境判断之其他线索。句意：我丈夫手里拿着我的钱包，一分钱也没丢。A. missing不见的，丢失的；B. returned被送回的；C. remaining剩下的；D. abandoned被抛弃的。结合下文的陈述可知，那位女士捡到了作者的钱包，她拾金不昧，将钱包完璧归赵。由此可以推知，该处指“钱包里的钱一分也没有丢失”。故选A。
46. 本题考查语境判断之其他线索。句意：我还没来得及到门口表示感谢，她就走了。A. still仍然；B. everaccessible是什么意思英语曾经；C. yet但是；已经；D. even甚至。作者甚至还没有来得及到门口感谢那位女士，她就离开了，是递进关系。故选D项。
47. 本题考查语境判断之其他线索。句意：在网上分享了这个故事后，我收到了一个人的来信，他说这位女士名叫艾琳·史密斯。A. selected挑选；B. appointed任命，确定，安排；C. identified确认，认出，识别；D. defined下定义。在网上分享了这个故事之后，作者收到了某个人的来信，这个人认出那位女士是Erin Smith。故选C。
48. 本题考查语境判断之其他线索。句意：我毫不迟疑地打电话感谢她。A. delay耽搁；B. alarm惊恐，警报器，闹钟；C. regret遗憾；D. invitation邀请。到了那位拾金不昧的女士，而自己丢失的都是重要东西（前文已叙述），故作者当然要“马上，毫不耽搁地”打电话去感谢对方。故选A。
49. 本题考查语境判断之逻辑关系。句意：她说她在公车座位上发现了我的钱包。A. moved移动；B. placed放置；C. opened打开；D. spotted发现，认出。作者将钱包落在了公共汽车上，Erin是在一个座位上发现了它。该空表示“发现”，故选D。这题容易误选opened,按照事情发生的先后顺序确定：是先发现。
