Question

Dear Mr. Barton,

I am writing for the residents’ association (業(yè)主協(xié)會(huì)) to inform you of our feelings about your act. We’ve really had enough of you. Although we have tried to speak to you politely on several occasions, you have always answered with a stream of verbal abuse(辱罵).

Ever since you moved in three months ago, you have shown very little consideration for the other residents of this building, though many residents expressed their unhappiness with you. For the past six weekends, you have held very noisy parties, which have not finished until early the next morning. As you know, most of the people here are elderly or have very young children, and the noise keeps them awake all night. You don’t have to be so noisy, do you? Last weekend the situation deteriorated when two of your friends fought with each other on the first floor. The fighting was so bad that the police had to be called. What’s more, your friends left the stairs in a terrible state --- they even broke two windows on their way out! We feel that we can’t bear this type of act.

We strongly demand that you pay for this damage to the window soon. If you don’t and you carry on being a nuisance(令人討厭的人或物). We will kick you out! Legal steps will be taken if necessary.

Yours sincerely

【解析】

試題分析：文章是一封信，作者寫信的目的是，告誡鄰居Barton不要再制造噪音影響居民的休息。Barton之前并未在意周圍鄰居的反應(yīng)，經(jīng)常在夜晚舉辦聚會(huì)，有一次還發(fā)生了打斗事件。

1.更加“We’ve really had enough of you.”和“We will kick you out! Legal steps will be taken if necessary.”可知，作者提到要訴諸法律，說明作者和其他居民難以忍受Barton家的噪音，A興奮的；B驚訝的；C生氣的；D開心的。作者長期被Barton家的噪音打擾，肯定不會(huì)開心，故選C。

2.更加“when two of your friends fought with each other on the first floor. The fighting was so bad that the police had to be called.”可知，Barton的兩個(gè)朋友發(fā)生了斗毆，這使事件進(jìn)一步惡化了，A改變；B提高；C移動(dòng)；D惡化。故選D。

3.更加最后一段“We strongly demand that you pay for this damage to the window soon. If you don’t and you carry on being a nuisance(令人討厭的人或物). We will kick you out! Legal steps will be taken if necessary.”可知，作者寫信的目的是，給Barton一個(gè)警告，故選D。

4.更加“when two of your friends fought with each other on the first floor. The fighting was so bad that the police had to be called.”可知，Barton的兩個(gè)朋友互相打架，打斗的厲害，最后報(bào)了警，故選C。

5.更加“If you don’t and you carry on being a nuisance(令人討厭的人或物). We will kick you out! Legal steps will be taken if necessary.”可知，Barton并沒有在意給鄰居們帶來的不便，故選A。
