Answer 1

完型填空讲述的是关于是否取缔学校乐队，Angela和她的同学们所作的一切努力以及最后的胜利。

36．   B

解析：根据上文中shoes and trousers以及下文中the school uniform(校服), B项dresses(服装)最合适。

37．   A

解析：根据破折号后面“甚至连老师都喜欢在那”,可以判断出“乐队是很有意思的”，故选fun。

38．   C

解析：上文提到“乐队很有趣”，可是下文却“说今年只有CDs,没有直播的乐队演出。”故应选However,表示转折。

39．   B

解析： 与CDs(录制到光盘上的)相对应的应为live(现场直播的)。

40．   D

解析：上文提到没有live band,只有CDs, Amy不相信这是事实，故选believe。

41．   C

解析：从下文中“通过提高票价来having a band”看出，学校是不能够afford (have enough money or time to buy or do sth.)这个乐队。

42．   A

解析：根据上下文，只有good添在这儿最合适。

43．   D

解析：上文提到Angela要去看看能做什么来保住乐队。下文提到Angela下午就去见校长。故选word,表示“人如其言”，说到做到。

44．   B

解析： 句中提到“校长同意就目前的情况进行考虑”，即指是否取缔乐队的事，故选B。

45．   A

解析： 校长暗示“拥有乐队的一个可能就是提高票价”。concern (关心)，decision(决定)，chance(机会)都不符合上下文。

46．   B

解析：call out出动，carry out执行，point out指出，find out 打听，弄清楚。根据上文“要提高票价”，Angela必须弄清楚学生们是否愿意这样做。

47．   D

解析： 根据句意“她向同学们宣布说她需要他们的帮助”，而不是“承认，回答，道歉”。

48． C

解析： 根据句意“相互问问他们对乐队及涨价的看法”，故选opinion.

49．   D

解析：  本句表示“一整天(during the day)他们在四处询问并且把对乐队及价钱的感受写了下来”。

50．   C

解析： 从下文“everyone agreed to pay the extra $5”得出，大家是支持乐队的，故选support。

51．   A

解析：根据句意“当我们给校长征求意见的结果时，他笑着说“我原来认为没有几个人需要这个乐队并且价钱也很高”。“故选results。

52．   B

解析： 见51解析。

53．   A

解析： 上文Angela他们完成了一个调查的任务，接下来的任务是找一个好的乐队。故选task。

54．   C

解析： 本句意为“Angela满面笑容，把这个消息透露给Amy和Daniel”，break the news为固定搭配，意思为“透露消息”。

55．   D

解析： Daniel所表达的是“Angela 所作的一切太让人惊诧了“。
