答案简析

D。一切准备就绪，只等去化装舞会了，所以该是激动得无法做家务。

A。补充说明激动的原因，只有用for最为到位。

B。本句是初中生不太熟悉的主语从句，play在这里是“扮演”的意思。意为“她所想扮演的是一个可怕的妖怪”。

A。根据下文的意思，有转折关系，所以用though。

C。她想看看是否穿着舒服。

A。就在这时有敲门声。

B。从下文可知她很有把握，“准是面包师”。

D。fail to do sth. “没做成某事”。用not语法不对，而用had ,tried不符合意思 。

B。她不想吓着这个人。

D。因此，她就躲藏到楼梯下的贮藏室中。

D。这时她才意识到自己的判断错误。

A。只好出来解释，不是鬼怪，是她。故用It’s me 。

B。13、14题是一个完整的句子。没必要害怕。

C。

D。分词充当伴随状语。意为随手就把门用力关上。
