B．introubleC．ofdifficulty D．indanger解析：选A。句意：我现在陷入严重的债务危机中，但是我希望发了工资后会摆脱债务困扰。由后半句的“outofitwhenIgetpaid”可知A项正确。indebt“欠债”；introuble“陷入困境”；indanger“陷入危险”。23．Shehasbeen________overhisstrangeletterforseveralweeks，butshestillfiguresoutnothingaboutit.A．puzzling

D．how解析：选C。句意：——我要问老师定语从句的问题。我对它感到很困惑。——那也是大部分同学有疑问的地方。where引导的是表语从句，havedoubton/about“怀疑……”，doubt后无介词，所以用where。27．—Weareafraidwecan’tfinishthetask________amonth.—Takeyourtime，butnextmonthyou’llhaveanewone.A．within

D．musthavecome解析：选B。句意：晚会很有趣，你本该来，但为什么没来？根据句意可知“应该做，但没做”，故用oughtto/shouldhavedone形式。32．Idon’tunderstandhowyoushouldspendsomuchmoneyinonlyonemonth.Please________eachsumofthemoneyyouspenttome.A．makeout B．accountforC．describe D．record解析：选B。句意：我不明白你一个月怎么花掉这么多钱，我要你向我说明你所花掉的每一笔钱的用途。accountfor“解释；说明”，符合句意。makeout“弄清楚；辨认出来”；describe“描写；描述”；record“记录”。33．Theyweredeterminedtocarryouttheplanatfirst，butthenwe________persuadethemtochangetheirminds.A．would
