名師點(diǎn)評

這是一個(gè)幽默故事，看后令人忍俊不禁。也許Mrs. Richards的化裝技巧太捧了，也許，查表員的膽子也太小了——大白天的怎么可能有鬼呢?不過(guò)，如果你遇到這種情況，那會(huì )怎么樣呢?

答案簡(jiǎn)析在下一頁(yè)

1. D。一切準備就緒，只等去化裝舞會(huì )了，所以該是激動(dòng)得無(wú)法做家務(wù)。

2. A。補充說(shuō)明激動(dòng)的原因，只有用for最為到位。

3. B。本句是初中生不太熟悉的主語(yǔ)從句，play在這里是“扮演”的意思。意為“她所想扮演的是一個(gè)可怕的妖怪”。 #p#分頁(yè)標題#e#

6. A。就在這時(shí)有敲門(mén)聲。

7. B。從下文可知她很有把握，“準是面包師”。

8. D。fail to do sth. “沒(méi)做成某事”。用not語(yǔ)法不對，而用had ,tried不符合意思 。

13. B。13、14題是一個(gè)完整的句子。沒(méi)必要害怕。

14. C。

15. D。分詞充當伴隨狀語(yǔ)。意為隨手就把門(mén)用力關(guān)上。
