Answer 1

答案：C;D;B;B;A;B;D;C;A;B;B;A;C;D;C
解析：

（1）enjoy themselves表示“（他们）玩得开心”。 （2）take part in意指“参加（某项活动）”。 （3）句意为“这件事取决于他们自己的爱好”。 （4）free time指“空闲时间”。 （5）句意指“几乎每个人都有业余爱好”。 （6）from...to...意指“从……到……”，是介词短语，后面接动词时要加ing。 （7）由后句可知，本句表达“有些爱好（要花）很多钱（昂贵）”。 （8）a lot of money指“许多钱”。 （9）thousand后面接名词时，thousand不加s。 （10）cost“花费”，主语为某物。当主语是人，用动词pay或spend。 （11）句意为“我想知道他们是否值钱”。if表示“是否”。 （12）to在此句中表示“对于（某人）……”。 （13）前半句意“没有任何东西使他感到开心……”。 （14）like to do意指“喜欢做……”。 （15）the fun of...指“……的乐趣”。
