21、表示“佩戴首饰”。21D根据from the manager可知此处表示“得知”，故选D项。22Cpay“支付”与spend“花费”通常用人来作主语；而take“需要”意义不符，只有cost“价钱为；需花费”用物作主语，所以答案选C项。23A他们兄妹为晚会做好了充分的准备，所以选A项，此处表示状态，而不是动作。24B根据下文have dinner可知应该是在餐馆里。25D 由下文可知迪安娜丢了钻石，她发现后肯定会screaming“尖叫”。26Cgone“丢失的；不见的”；而lost强调“遗失；迷路”。此处表示钻石被偷，应该是不见了，所以选C项。27A根据25空可知此处表示大声喊叫，应用cry

22、一词，再根据and不难看出此处缺少并列谓语动词。所以A项为正确答案。28B迪安娜丢失了钻石，这个黑衣盗贼肯定是带着钻石逃跑。29A文章第2个空已经告诉我们来参加晚会的人们穿着不同颜色的衣服，所以应用colorful一词表示“五彩缤纷的”。30B因为街上满是狂欢的人们，所以追赶小偷就很难了。31D小偷怕被抓，肯定疯狂逃跑，文章并没有交代小偷开车或骑车。32C前文交代小偷在跑的过程中摔倒，这兄妹两人赶快坐到小偷身上把他抓住。33C警察抓住小偷后会把他送往监狱。故C项为正确选项。34A凯莉和史蒂夫帮助迪安娜找回了丢失的钻石，她肯定会表示感谢。35B根据句意：这是他们过得最好的狂欢节，根据最高级可以知

23、道，此处表示“曾经”之意，故用ever。第二部分阅读理解(共两节；满分30分)第一节(共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。AYasmin Eisenhauer, a teacher at Lowell School, told her class last fall that they were going to make the trees on their school grounds talk.“What?
