9．April Fool’s Day
【详解】
1．名词“蠢人；傻瓜”及动词“愚弄”都可译为fool；其形容词“愚蠢的”译为foolish。
故填fool；foolish。
2．（特定场合穿的）服装；装束costume。故填costume。
3．窘迫的，害羞的embarrassed；使窘迫，使尴尬embarrass；使人害羞的embarrassing。故
填embarrassed；embarrass；embarrassing。
4．costume服装，装束；party聚会，晚会。costume party是一个名词短语，意为“化妆舞
会”。故填costume party。
5．get是系动词，后跟过去分词dressed，构成短语，意为“穿衣服”。故填get dressed。
6．这里考查一个固定短语show up，意为“赶到，露面”。故填show up。
7．stay up是一个固定短语，意为“熬夜”，故填stay up。
8．invite“邀请”，是一个动词，常用于短语invite sb. to…“邀请某人去……”。故填invite
sb. to…。
9．April四月；fool傻瓜，愚人；day日，白天。愚人节是四月一日，因此用April Fool’s
Day。故填April Fool’s Day。
二、用所给单词的正确形式填空
10．I ___________（invite）to the birthday party.
11．The costume party was _________（excite）. Everyone had a lot of fun.
12．Let's go and see what is ____________（happen）over there.
13．The film was so ______（tire）that we felt _____（tire）when we saw it.14．The film was about ________(start)when the light went out.
【答案】
10．was invited 11．exciting 12．happening 13． tiring tired 14．to start
【详解】
10．句意：我被邀请去生日派对。
invite sb. to do sth. “邀请某人去做某事”。此处主语和动词之间是被动关系，即be invited to
do sth. “某人被邀请去做某事”。根据句意可知是一般过去时态，故答案为was invited。
11．句意：这场化妆舞会真的是太令人兴奋了，每个人都玩得很开心。
be + adj. 构成“系表结构”，且主语是物，故答案为exciting。
12．句意：我们去看看那边在发生了什么事儿。
根据句意可知，热闹正在进行，因此用现在进行时态，结构为be doing。故答案为
happening。
13．句意：电影是如此的累人，以至于当我们看的时候，我们都特别累。
系表结构，所以填写形容词。-ed结尾的过去分词修饰人，-ing结尾的现在分词修饰物。the
film是物，we指人。故答案为tiring，tired。
14．句意：电影正要开始，这时灯熄灭了。
be about to do... when... “正要做……突然……”，故答案为to start。

拓展训练
一、多任务混合阅读（2022·山东·枣庄市第十五中学一模）
读下面的一篇文章，在答题卡的1~5每个题目下做简单的笔记。
April Fool’s Day is a celebration that takes place in different countries around the world. It
happens on April 1st every year and is a day when many people play all kinds of tricks and jokeson each other.
One April Fool’s Day, a reporter in England announced that there would be no more spaghetti
because the spaghetti farmers in Italy had stopped growing spaghetti. Many people ran to their
local supermarkets to buy as much spaghetti as they could. By the time people realized that the
story was a hoax, all of the spaghetti across the county had been sold out. In another famous trick
a TV show In England reported the discovery of special water. They said this water would help
people lose weight and that one customer had already lost a lot of weight in just four months. By
the end of the day, more than 10,000 people had phoned the TV station to find out how to get this
water.
Many April Fool’s jokes may end up being not very funny. A famous TV star once invited his
girlfriend onto his show on April Fool’s Day. He asked her to marry him. The lady was so happy
because she really wanted to get married. However, when she said yes, he replied. “April Fool!”
That little joke didn’t have a very happy ending. The TV star lost his girlfriend and his show was
canceled.
One of the world’s most famous tricks, however, happened in October rather than in April. In
that month in 1938, actor Orson Welles announced on his radio program that aliens from Mars had
landed on the earth. He described where they had landed and told how they were moving across
the United States. Welles made it sound so real that hundreds of people believed the story, and fear
spread across the whole country. By the time police officers announced that the story was a hoax,
thousands of people had left their homes.
