答案与解析:

75岁高龄的Thelma在丈夫过世后仍保持旺盛的活力,积极投身社会活动,在带给别人快乐的同时,她也获得了自己的幸福。

1.D 孩子们“建议”自己母亲改变一下环境,所以demand(急需;迫切需要),require(需要),persuade(说服)都不符合句意。

2.C 由第一句对她的描述“energetic,attractive and full of life.”以及下文对她的描述可以看出她是一个乐观向上的(optimistic)人。

3.C 由下文“Shortly after moving in”,可以看出:她决定按孩子说的去做。decide to do“决定……”。

4.B 由下文的“协调社区内人们的各项活动”可知:她成了一个自己任命的活动指导员。director“主管”,这里指协调指导员。

5.B 由下文“made many friends”可以看出,她深受新社区人们的欢迎。

6.A 句意为:Thelma(来到新社区后)新交的朋友们为了表达他们对她的感激之情为她举办了一个令她惊喜的生日聚会。

7.C 由下文对他们举办的聚会盛大的规模、隆重的气氛的描述来看,appreciation(感激;感谢)更符合他们的心情。thanks(谢意;感谢)普通用语,不符合语境。

8.D 由上文的“entered the dining room”可以看出,她是来吃饭的。

9.C 主角来到派对现场,其他人应向她“致意”。greet意思是“向……致意”。

10.B 这是对生日聚会的描述,整个夜晚充满了笑声和欢乐。be filled with意思是“充满……的”。

11.C 由上文的laughter和and可以看出,只有entertainment符合语境,与laughter相匹配。

12.A 由17空后“by staring at you all night”,可以看出,她的眼睛一直没有离开这位先生。off意思是“离开……”。

13.B 聚会是发生在生日那一天的一个活动,显然是一次“庆祝会”。

14.D rise用作不及物动词,意思是“起身”。rise from her seat意思是“从她的座位上站起来”。而lift,raise是及物动词,stand表示“站起”时要和up连用。

15.C rush意思是“奔/冲过去”,由上文可知,整个晚上她对这个人产生了浓厚的兴趣,她的眼睛一直没有离开这位先生,一直盼着晚会结束和他聊聊,所以聚会一结束她就冲了过去,与前面的quickly相对应,表达出迫切的心情。

16.C 很显然,因为她盯了那个男士一整晚,所以要请求他原谅。

17.A 很明显,长时间被别人一直盯着的感觉应该是不舒服的(uncomfortable)。

18.B 我只是忍不住向您这边看。way“方向”。

19.D 冒味问一下,那你已经结过几次婚了?but(用来引入新话题)“那,可是”。

20.C Thelma脸上带着微笑。come across“出现于,出现在”。
