【解析】

試題分析：本文是一篇記敘文，主要敘述了Mrs. Jones有一副唱歌的好嗓子，但是高音總是很沙啞，性格也比較內(nèi)向，然而她很想練習(xí)自己的高音，因此發(fā)生了在路邊練習(xí)高音所遇到的趣事。

1. note:高音，故選A。

2. a gate, which someone had forgotten to oil,高音就像一扇忘了擦油的門，結(jié)合上下語境A、B、C不符合句意，高音應(yīng)該是打開更好的，故選D。

3. aware of 意識(shí)到，故選C。

4. every she could find to practise應(yīng)是抓住機(jī)會(huì)去練習(xí)自己的高音，A. take time從容進(jìn)行; B. take chance抓住機(jī)會(huì)，C take person人權(quán); D. take place發(fā)生；故選B。

5. note高音，B歌曲，鳴聲；C跡象，符號(hào)，手勢；D聲音，響聲，都不符句意，故選A。

6.

7.

8. usually went for long walks along the country roads”得出答案，故選D。

9. 直到再次練習(xí)時(shí)不被聽到，所以應(yīng)該是等待，故選A。

10. “no longer be heard before she started practising again, 以及 because she was sensitive about those high notes.”可以推斷出她不敢在大家面前練習(xí)，所以應(yīng)該是害羞的，其余選項(xiàng)與上下文意思不符。故選B。

11. fast that she did not hear it”可以說明是靜靜地快速開過以至于沒有聽到。故選D。

12.

13. saw an anxious suddenly come over its driver’s face”在司機(jī)臉上看見焦慮的應(yīng)該是表情。故選A。

14. as soon as the car stopped, he jumped out and began to all his tires carefully.”“tire”作名詞譯為輪胎，可數(shù)名詞。車一停下來就跳下車，應(yīng)該是檢查輪胎，因?yàn)樯弦痪涮岬剿緳C(jī)是焦慮的，選項(xiàng)中洗、觀察、修理是不符合句意的。故選D。

15. Jones did not dare to tell him what the noise he had heard had really been,”因?yàn)镸rs. Jones沒有告訴司機(jī)真正聽到的是什么聲音，而司機(jī)也檢查了輪胎沒有問題，但是分明是聽到了聲音，所以司機(jī)是感到困惑的。故選C。
