24、coveredCthought Dpredicted答案B解析根据前文，他们是歌迷，得知Black Wednesday要来演出自然会很兴奋，而guess“猜想”，think“认为”，predict“预言”都是内心的想法，不是事实，也就不会引出下文买票前往大剧院观看这一实际行动。故此处用discover“发现”。3A.flowers BdrinksCclothes Dtickets答案D解析根据下句中的“.so my brother_me the ticket.”可知，此处表达他们都去买了票。故用tickets。4A.booked BofferedCreturned Dfound答案B解析boo
