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] 【C11】
选项 A、effort
B、time
C、trouble
D、noise
答案 D
解析 句意理解及固定搭配。由上下文语境可知，学生们连续两周的敲钟，其实是一种对于卡车扰民现象的抗议，自然是用敲钟造成的“噪声”来表现了。effort意为“努力”，常用搭配为make every effort to do sth．，意为“不遗余力做某事”。time意为“时间”，trouble意为“困难，困境”，noise意为“噪声”，只有noise符合句意，故选择D。
