Question

The party began shortly after Mr. Wood, who lived in the flat below, signed to himself as he heard excited voices and the noisy music. Luckily he had  36  some work home from the office,   37  he kept himself busy for a couple of hours, thus managing to pay no attention to the noise  38 . But by eleven o’clock he felt  39  and was ready to go to bed, though from his earlier  experience he knew it was  40  trying to get to sleep. He undressed and lay for a while on the bed, trying to read, but he  41  himself reading the same page over and over again. He then turned off the light and  42  his head in the pillow. But  43  he could not shut  44  the noise, finally, after 45 seemed hours, his 46 was gone.

He jumped out of bed, 47 some clothing, marched 48 up the stairs, and walked into his neighbor’s flat. The owner of the flat, who 49 him in his dressing gown, came 50 the room and, 51 Mr. Wood could say anything, cried, “My dear fellow, come and 52. I know our parties 53 you. I meant to send you 54.” Mr. Wood’s anger disappeared then and there. He said, “I’d better go and get 55.” Minutes later, he returned, properly dressed, only to find that the party was nearly over.

Answer 1

36---55     CABBA   BADBB   CADDA   BCBCB  

解析:

36、 Mr Wood從辦公室里帶來一些工作。take帶走；  carry搬運；  fetch去取，去拿。

37、 keep sb busy with…一直忙于……。

38、  Mr wood住在樓下，后文提到他跑到樓上去制止鄰居的聚會可知噪音是從上面傳出來的。

39、  這時已經是晚上十一點，Mr Wood又做了幾個小時的工作，因此感到很勞累。

40、  根據后文他沒有睡覺而是在讀書可知他已知道睡覺很難。

41、 find …doing…發現……正在做……。

42、  他把頭埋進枕頭里是為了不讓自己聽到樓上傳出的噪音。

43、  even so指即便把頭埋到枕頭下面。

44、  shut off切斷，使隔絕。即便如此，也不能隔絕樓上傳出的噪音。

45、  after為介詞，后引導賓語從句，從句中缺主語，故用what�？雌饋砗孟裼袔讉�小時的樣子。

46、  試了幾種方法后依然受到噪音的干擾不能入睡時，他便失去了耐心.

47、  根據后文Mr Wood又回去換衣服可知，他第一次穿得很隨意，只是隨手拿了件衣服。dress up打扮得整整齊齊；select挑選，這兩個詞與下文意思不符。wear表狀態，本句是用and連接幾個表示動作的并列謂語動詞，故也可排除。

48、  前文提到Mr Wood失去了耐心，決定一定要制止樓上的噪音。firmly堅定地。

49、  make fun of…取笑……；stare at瞪……；be angry with…對……生氣，這三個詞與下文意思不符，可排除。catch sight of看見。

50、  come across此處意思為：越過……來到，過來。

51、  Mr Wood還沒來得及開口，晚會的主人便向他發出了邀請。

52、   根據后面Mr Wood回家換衣服再來參加聚會可知此處是晚會的主人邀請Mr Wood參加聚會。

53、  晚會的主人知道開晚會一定會打擾Mr Wood，故排除A、C、D項。must語氣不行，此處用would比較委婉地表達晚會主人的想法。

54、  send…an invitation向……發出邀請。

55、  根據后文的properly dressed 可知答案。
