One evening, long after most people had gone to bed, a friend of mine and I 1 happily home through the 2 street. We had been to a musical and 3 about the people we had seen and heard in it.
“The show 4 him a star overnight,” said my friend about one of them. “He was completely 5 before. And now thousands of people 6 him gifts and letters.” “I thought him quite good,” I said, “but not 7 thousands of letters. As a matter of 8 ,”one of his songs gave me a shock. It was too noisy. “What was that?” my friend asked me, “ 9 it to me.” I began to sing. “Do be quiet. You will give everybody a shock and 10 them up for miles 11 . Besides, there will be a policeman 12 us. ”My friend gave me an astonished look.
“Never mind. I don’t care. What is the matter?” I said and went on singing 13 the top of my voice.
Presently there came a policeman, 14 in front of me, his notebook 15 . “ 16 , sir,” he said, “You have a very good voice, if I 17 say so. Who taught you singing? I’d very much 18 to find someone who can give my daughter singing lessons. Would you be 19 to tell me your name and address? Then my wife and I would 20 on you and we could discuss it.”

答案
A;D;B;D;D;C;B;A;B;C;C;D;D;C;C;D;A;C;B;D
解析
1、因为是过去发生的事情，因此要用过去式。
2、calm“冷静，镇静”，多形容人的情绪，情感；silent意为“沉默不语的”，排除A、C，crowded 意为“拥挤的”，与most people had gone to bed不相符，故答案为D。
3、A、C都有不符合句意，discuss为及物动词，后直接接宾语，故只有B为正确答案。
4、这场表演让他一夜成名。
5、他以前无名。
6、show 不符合句意，brought意思和时态都不恰当，排除A、D；letters可write但gifts 不行，排除B。 故答案为C。
7、Be worth おsth./doing sth.，值得…，后面跟名词或者动名词。
8、as a matter of fact为固定搭配，意为“事实上”。
9、根据下句I began to sing判断，此处应为sing，故答案为B。
10、call up打电话；pick up 捡起，抬起；join up连接起来；wake up 叫醒，根据上下文，C为正解答案。
11、for miles around意为“周围几里”。
12、In front of sth.在…前面。
13、at the top of one’s voice 习惯搭配，意为“为最大的嗓音”。
14、站在我们面前，现在分词作定语，修饰policeman。
15、此处强调状态，不强调动作，故选C
16、说话之前的礼貌用语，“打扰了”。
17、如果我可以这样说的话，may表示“可以”。
18、Would like to do sth.想做某事，后面跟动词原形。
19、Would you be kind enough to do…? 是请某人做事或帮忙，是一种非常婉转客气的固定句型。
20、drop in on sb. 意为visit sb. “拜访某人”，故选D。
