　　學(xué)而思名師點(diǎn)評(píng)

　　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

　　D。一切準(zhǔn)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)。

　　A。補(bǔ)充說(shuō)明激動(dòng)的原因，只有用for最為到位。

　　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”。

　　A。根據(jù)下文的意思，有轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，所以用though。

　　C。她想看看是否穿著舒服。

　　A。就在這時(shí)有敲門聲。

　　B。從下文可知她很有把握，“準(zhǔn)是面包師”。

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

　　B。她不想嚇著這個(gè)人。

　　D。因此，她就躲藏到樓梯下的貯藏室中。

　　D。這時(shí)她才意識(shí)到自己的判斷錯(cuò)誤。

　　A。只好出來(lái)解釋，不是鬼怪，是她。故用It’s me 。

　　B。13、14題是一個(gè)完整的句子。沒(méi)必要害怕。

　　C。

　　D。分詞充當(dāng)伴隨狀語(yǔ)。意為隨手就把門用力關(guān)上。
