22、案】D 【解析】根据后面的 over and over again,应选“repeat” 6.【答案】C 【解析】小孩想去动物园,便不停地发出尖叫声,故选“voice”。A shrill voice 与 scream 的意思接近。volume(音量)；noise(噪音) ；pitch(音调)均不合要求。 7.【答案】B 【解析】shut sb.up 是指让某人住口，为了让孩子停止尖叫，只好带他去动物园。 8.【答案】A 【解析】根据后面主句的时态，此处只能用一般过去时。 9.【答案】C 【解析】a great many 后直接跟可数名词的复数形式； a great / large amount

25、nce my first trip 意为“ 支付我的旅行 费用”；pay 后应接介词 for；其他选项的意思相差甚远。17.【答案】B 【解析】此句为现在完成进行时态,选 regularly 比较贴切。 18.【答案】D 【解析】此句是由 though 引导的让步状语从句，应与主句意思相对立。选项中，sorrows和 disappointments 与主句的 appeal to 相对立，但 sorrows 的分量太重。 19.【答案】C 【解析】appeal to 为成语，意思是“吸引” 。 20.【答案】B 【解析】excursion 短途旅行；journey(从一地到另一地的)长距离，具体
