13、ed答案与解析：B由语境可知，这里表达的意思是：作者刚把话筒放回到话机上，电话又打过来了。四个选项中只有called有“打电话”之意。8A.school BdirectorCneighbors Dpolice答案与解析：D根据语境分析，作者此时已经十分气恼，警告对方，如果再打骚扰电话，她就会报警。9A.angry BcalmCsilent Dserious答案与解析：C作者觉得已经没有必要再向对方解释，因此作者拿起话筒保持沉默(silent)。在这之前都是十分生气的，因此，如果选A，显然和前面表示转折的but相矛盾；而calm指的是心里的平静，很显然，作者此时的心情并不平静，也不符合语境。10

15、 Dsatisfaction答案与解析：Ato ones surprise 意为：让某人惊讶的是。“我”以为小女孩的恶作剧会遭到她妈妈的批评，所以她不敢让她妈妈接电话，但是她却让她妈妈接了，这一点很出乎“我”的预料。to ones disappointment 让某人失望的是； to ones joy让某人高兴的是；to ones satisfaction让某人满意的是。13A.day BnightCafternoon Dmorning答案与解析：C从前文“It was three in the afternoon”以及“At 6：30 pm, the phone rang for about
16、 the 25th time.”可知，作者一下午都在不停地接听电话。14A.first BlastCsecond Deasiest答案与解析：A根据此处的语境可知，作者把几十个女孩打电话误以为是一个女孩打电话，因此对方的母亲向作者解释：这绝对是女儿给作者打的第一个电话。15A.plan BassistantCcourse Dadvisor答案与解析：B后文“the new assistant”有原词复现，老师把新来的助教的电话给全班同学，以便于及时沟通。16A.on purpose Bin advanceCby mistake Dfor the moment答案与解析：C老师把电话号码给错了，
