“I really don"t want to go to college for a while,” she 52 .

解析
41．答案：D。解析：Jennifer和Valerie自从三年级就是朋友，所以他们有着共同的中学经历。share的意思是“共同享有”。
42．答案：C。解析：从上下文看，两个学生驱车参加他们中学生活的最后一件事--中学毕业典礼。
43．答案：A。解析：although引导让步状语从句，从下文可知，他们虽然是亲密朋友，却在很多方面有差异。
44．答案：A。解析：从下文看，Jennifer是一个相当用功的学生，而Valerie只是在混日子，勉强毕业。while用作并列连词，意思是“而；然而”，表示转折对比。get by有“勉强混过；侥幸过去”的意思。
