21、e yearly.解析：选C推理判断题。根据第四段中的“It was an absolute horror show.The garden has been ruined by the teenagers and the grass is just mud.Ill never have a party for my daughter here again.”可知，Georgie的妈妈认为这完全是个恐怖秀，她再也不在家里为女儿举办聚会了。由此可推知，Georgie的妈妈很后悔在家里为女儿举办生日聚会。故选C。7What does the underlined word “intimidating
22、” in Paragraph 5 mean?AAmbitious. BFrightening.CThoughtless. DCurious.解析：选B词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的句子可知，参加聚会的不速之客认为当他们出现在青少年的聚会上时，这些青少年不敢对他们说什么，于是他们就可以为所欲为。由此可推断画线词的意思为“可怕的，令人害怕的”，与frightening的意思相近。故选B。8Whats Mrs Melis attitude towards the Facebook Republican Army?AConcerned.

25、脸书共和军”闯入别人的聚会的行为是在浪费警方的时间和金钱，是不可取的。即她对“脸书共和军”持否定的态度。 .读后续写阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。At Danas yard sale, Tim chose a baseball from the toys spread on the card table and asked about the price.
