75歲高齡的Thelma在丈夫過世后仍保持旺盛的活力，積極投身社會活動，在帶給別人快樂的同時，她也獲得了自己的幸福。

1.D孩子們"建議"自己母親改變一下環(huán)境，所以demand(急需;迫切需要) ，require (需要) ，persuade(說服) 都不符合句意。

2.C由第一句對她的描述energetic，attractive and full of life以及下文對她的描述可以看出，她是一個樂觀向上的(optimistic)  人。

3.C由下文shortly after moving in可以看出：她決定按孩子說的去做。decide to do"決定

4.B由下文的"協(xié)調(diào)社區(qū)內(nèi)人們的各項活動" 可知：她成了一個自己任命的活動指導(dǎo)員。director"主管"，這里指進(jìn)行策劃指導(dǎo)的人。

5.B由下文made many friends可以看出，她深受新社區(qū)人們的歡迎。

1.A句意為：Thelma(來到新社區(qū)后) 新交的朋友們?yōu)榱吮磉_(dá)他們對她的感激之情，為她舉辦了一個令她驚喜的生日聚會。

2.C由下文對他們舉辦的聚會盛大的規(guī)模、隆重的氣氛的描述來看，appreciation(感激;感謝) 更符合他們的心情。thanks(謝意;感謝) 普通用語，不符合語境。

3.D由上文的entered the dining room可以看出，她是來吃飯的。

9. C主角來到派對現(xiàn)場，其他人應(yīng)向她"致意"。greet意思是"向……致意"。

10.B這是對生日聚會的描述，整個夜晚充滿了笑聲和歡樂。be filled with意思是"充滿……的"。

11.C由上文的laughter和and可以看出，只有entertainment符合語境，與laughter相匹配。

12.A由17空后by staring at you all night可以看出，她的眼睛一直沒有離開這位先生。off意思是"離開……"。

13.B聚會是發(fā)生"在生日那一天的一個活動，顯然是一次"慶祝會"。

14.D rise用作不及物動詞，意思是"起身"。rise from her seat意思是"從她的座位上站起來"。而lift,raise是及物動詞，stand表示"站起"時要和up連用。

15.C rush意思是"奔/沖過去"，由上文可知，整個晚上她對這個人產(chǎn)生了濃厚的興趣，她的眼睛一直沒有離開這位先生，一直盼著晚會結(jié)束和他聊聊，所以聚會一結(jié)束她就沖了過去，與前面的quickly相對應(yīng)，表達(dá)出迫切的心情。

17.A很明顯，長時間被別人一直盯著的感覺應(yīng)該是不舒服的(uncomfortable) 。
