On Feb. 12, Dalian(not his real name)was taking a train to Changsha, Hunan, for a business trip. While on the train, he went into a carriage(车厢)to have lunch and chose to remain in the carriage. He didn't know that the carriage was only for people heading for Wuhan.
Several hours later, when the train arrived in Wuhan, Dalian was asked to get off, as he was in the special carriage. Although he was surprised, he didn't want to cause trouble and got off the carriage with just a single bag.
Because of the pandemic, Wuhan had been blocked off(封锁), so Dalian couldn't find a hotel to stay in. Feeling at a loss, he saw a notice online looking for volunteers to work in hospitals. Dalian decided to give it a try.

April 1st is a day to be careful, or you could easily get tricked by someone. It’s April Fool’s Day, a day when people traditionally like to try to make a fool of someone else and laugh at them. There are lots of theories about the origins of the day, but one explanation (解释)is connected with the change in the calendar in the 16th century, which meant that April 1st was no longer the beginning of the year. Those who still celebrated the New Year on April 1st were called fools. So what kind of tricks do people play on April Fool’s Day Well, there are lots of simple tricks that you can play on your friends. For example, you could wear a black sweater and pull a piece of white thread through it, so that people try to pull it off. You could change the time on someone’s alarm clock so that they’re late for work. Or glue a coin to the floor and see how many people try to pick it up.
All these are small practical jokes which you might play on another person or a few people. But there’s also a tradition of large companies attempting to fool a lot of people. For example a burger restaurant once claimed that they were introducing a left-handed burger!
In particular, the media often try to make people believe something which is not true. Newspapers publish some funny stories every year, although some of them are actually true. It’s entertaining to try to guess which stories are true and which are fake. In the April Fool’s stories, they often include clues to the fact that they’re jokes. For example the name of an "expert" quoted in an article might be an anagram(变位词组)of "April Fool".
Radio and television programmes have also fooled many people by broadcasting reports which are untrue. One programme announced the invention of an amazing new weight-loss product—water which contained minus calories!
And one of the most famous hoaxes ever was broadcast(广播)by the BBC itself in 1957! A very serious news programme called Panorama reported on the good spaghetti harvest in Switzerland, and showed pictures of farmers picking spaghetti from trees! Hundreds of people were taken in and wrote to the BBC asking how to grow their own spaghetti.

1.canceled 句意:由汤加附近火山喷发引发的海啸警报在加利福尼亚州被取消了。此处应用被动语态,故填canceled。
2.officer an为不定冠词,修饰可数名词的单数形式。officer为可数名词,意为"官员"。
3.believable 句意:这个消息非常可信,我们班的每个人都相信它。根据提示词"believed"可知,believable符合句意。
4.costume 句意:学校将举办一场化装舞会,我需要一些特别的衣服和面具。
5.fooled 句意:不要被她的话愚弄了。此处为被动语态,空处应用动词的过去分词形式。

7.announced 句意:他宣布下个月他会跟一个法国女孩结婚。由空后的would可知,空处应用一般过去时。

9.embarrassed 句意:在听到这个意外的消息后,他看上去很惊讶也很尴尬。looked为连系动词,故空处应填形容词。embarrassed"尴尬的",其主语多是表示人的名词或代词,强调主语的心理感受。
10.disappeared 句意:一大片乌云遮住了月亮。月亮消失在云层后面。根据"A large black cloud covered the moon"可知,月亮应是消失在云层后面,所以应用appear的反义词disappear;由前面的"covered"可知时态用一般过去时,故填disappeared。
二、单项选择
1.D 根据空前的"我疲惫不堪"可知,stay up"熬夜"符合语境。
