试题分析:这篇短文讲述的是2006年发生在美国的一个恶作剧,这个恶作剧是模仿1958年发生在英国的。在这两个国家的一所学校里,人们发现一辆汽车出现在房顶上。警察和消防员费了很大力才把汽车抬下来,50年后,人们才知道是谁制造了这个恶作剧。
1.句意:2006年的一个早上,美国一所中学的全体师生惊奇的发现在房顶上有一辆粉红色的汽车。根据句意可知,在房顶上发现了汽车,这会让学生和老师们感到很震惊。故填shocked。
2.句意:美国2006年的这场恶作剧实际上是模仿的1958年英国的。actually 事实上,实际上。这里作者告诉我们这样一个事实,故填actually。
3.句意:他们查不出是谁应该为这样一个恶作剧负责,而这个恶作剧也成了全世界的头条新闻。responsible 负责的,有责任的。这里的意思是说,警察查不出是谁搞的这个恶作剧。be responsible for 为…负责。
4.句意:直到50年之后,这个事件中的学生们才证明了他们是谁,以及他们是怎样制造了这样一个精彩的恶作剧的。fifty years later 50年后。later 放在一段时间后面,表示一段时间后。
