18、量）调高”；B项hold up “举起，坚持，使停顿”；C项；show up “出现”；D项hang up “挂起来，挂上话筒，耽搁”。故B项正确。2C根据下文，这种款式的新衣服要花好几百美元，而这件做工精细，商标是第五大街，款式流行的二手大衣却只卖28 美元，因此觉得这个价格是不可思议的。A项unreasonable “不合理的”；B项expected “期望的”；C项unbelievable“不可思议的”；D项acceptable“可以接受的”。根据语境，C项正确。3A根据下文描述，作者的儿子还在上学，所以teenager更符合语境。4C根据下文“classic elegance”可知衣服
19、带着古典的优雅，因此在描述款式。A项color“颜色”；B项price “价格”；D项 size “大小”，故选择C项。5D根据句意：儿子第二天穿着这件大衣去上学，wear“穿着”。6C由上文可知儿子很喜欢这件大衣，同学也很喜欢，因此儿子在椅子背上把衣服仔细地叠起来，并把它弄平。A项casually “随意地”；B项comfortably “舒服地”：C项carefully“仔细地”；D项quickly“快速地”。故C项正确。7B根据下文，儿子变得听话而不再故意作对，遇事能心平气和地商讨而不再强词夺理。因此接下来的几个星期，儿子发生了变化。C项change “变化”。8C句意参考7。fierc

21、正确。12B根据下文两位老师对儿子的评价可知这件大衣让儿子发生变化。 13B老师给学生打分。mark这里表“分数 ”。14C根据句意：老师认为儿子能得高分不仅仅由于他理应获得（这个分数），而且她喜欢他的大衣。it在这里指代上文出现的mark。15A根据宾语“Johns new height”，这位久违的朋友需要抬头看着我儿子。A项look up at “抬头看”；B项look down on“看不起，蔑视”；C项check up“检查，核对”；D项take up “占据（时间/空间），继续，开始做，发展某种爱好”。故选择A项。16B根据句意：约翰和我都知道不应该以貌取人。mistake A f
22、or B“把A错当成B”，把一个人的衣服错当成一个人的内在，表示以貌取人。A项trust“信任”；C项exchange“交换”；D项regard“认为，看待”。故选择B项。17A句意：可穿着优雅为众人看，在思想上、言语上、行动上实践优秀的标准，以达到内外的和谐统一，这又另当别论。与前文不应该以貌取人构成转折，因此选择A项。18D句意同上。match “相配”，在这里指内在和外在相统一。19B句意：对于约翰，这是一个尝试不同的生活就如同试衣服一样简单的时期。life “生活”。20A句意：整个世界、整个未来在你眼前展开，如同一幅巨大的画卷，那里的每一扇门都敞开着。此处是定语从句，先行词表地点，因
