26、，不是中国，我现在用或不用汉语都能立马给你买来(一些鱼)。”right now“立刻，马上”，符合语境。答案A28A.decision Bpermission Cinformation Dpreparation解析“我”说完转向妈妈想征求她的同意。permission“允许，同意”，符合语境。decision“决定”；information“信息”；preparation“准备”。答案B29A.repeated Breviewed Cspelled Dkept解析“我”重复了一下这几个字，跑下楼到了唐人街。根据语境可知“我”不会说汉语，显然应该是重复妈妈说的，故用repeat。答案A30A.f
