问题     People of Burlington are being disturbed by the sound of bells. Four students from Burlington College of Higher Education are in the bell tower of the【C1】______and have made up their minds to【C2】______the bells nonstop for two weeks as a protest against heavy trucks which run【C3】______through the narrow High Street. "They not only make it【C4】______to sleep at night, but they are【C5】______damage to our houses and shops of historical【C6】______," said John Norris, one of the protesters.
    "【C7】______we must have these noisy trucks on the roads," said Jean Lacey, a biology student, "why don’t they build a new road that goes round the town? Burlington isn’t much more than a【C8】______village. Its streets were never【C9】______for heavy traffic."
    Harry Fields also studying【C10】______said they wanted to make as much【C11】______possible to force the government officials to realize what everybody has to【C12】______. "Most of them don’t【C13】______here anyway," he said, "they come in for meetings and that, and the Town Hall is soundproof, so they probably don’t【C14】______. It’s high time they realized the problem." The fourth student, Liza Vernum, said she thought the public were【C15】______on their side, and even if they weren’t they soon would be.
    I asked if they were【C16】______that the police might come to【C17】______them. "Not really," she said, "actually we are【C18】______bellringers. I mean we are assistant bell-ringers for the church. There is no【C19】______against practising." I【C20】______the church with the sound of the bells ringing in my ears. [br] 【C2】
选项 A、change
B、repair
C、ring
D、shake
答案 C
解析 词汇辨析。ring意思为“鸣，敲钟”，可参见最后一段倒数第2句中的“bell-ringer”一词。本句意思是学生们以敲钟的方式表示对卡车扰民的抗议。shake意为“摇晃”，repair意为“修理”，change意为“改变”，均不符合词汇搭配用法。
