　　參考答案：

　　51.A

　　【解析】句意：即使他們對此(父母給起的名字)感到不高興。

　　A項even if引導讓步狀語從句，詞義是“即使”。B項as if(=as though)引導方式狀語從句，詞義是“好像”。C項as比較復雜，引導從句較多：(1)時間狀語從句，詞義是“隨著”；(2)原因狀語從句，詞義是“由于”；(3)方式狀語從句，詞義是“像、如、照”；(4)比較狀語從句，詞義是“與…(不)一樣”；(5)讓步狀語從句，詞義是“雖然，盡管”。D項even是個副詞，不能用于引導狀語從句，詞義是“甚至于”。從主句和從句的關系看，應選A項表達讓步最為適合。

　　52.B

　　【解析】句意：然而有些人，尤其是藝術家們，確實采取了(更改名字的)行動。take右邊的“…action是固定短語，意為采取措施或手段”，因此應選B項take.

　　53.D

　　【解析】句意：有時這純屬個人原因。

　　文中說：“有時純屬…原因”，很明顯應選D項personal個人的、私人的、本人的。A項obvious明顯的；B項的economic經濟的；C項own自己的，常用在所有格之后、加強語氣。很明顯這三項都不可取。
