Burlington isn't much more than a 8 village.Its streets were never 9 for heavy traffic. Harry Fields also studying 10 said they wanted to make as much 11 possible to force the government officials to realize what everybody wasshavingsto 12 .“Most of them don't 13 here anyway,”he said,“they come in for meetings and that, and the Town Hall is soundproof, so they probably don't 14 .It's high time they realized the problem.”The fourth student, Liza Vernum, said she thought the public were 15 on their side, and even if they weren't they soon would be.

第40答案+解说： 1.D 由下文可知，这四名学生是在教堂的钟楼内敲钟以示抗议的，“我”也是在此对他们进行采访的。(参见文章最后一句) 2.C ring = to (cause to) give a sound like a bell (钟、铃等)鸣；响；敲钟；摇铃参见下文中的“bellringer”一词。 3.B 由下文(使人在夜间难以入睡)可知，这些大卡车是不分昼夜地穿行在这条街上的。 4.B 大卡车的噪音扰民，使人很难入睡。 5.A do damage to对……造成损坏。参考：do good/wrong to。 6.C a place of historical interest名胜古迹。 7.A “If”引导条件状语从句，意为：如果必须让这些噪音很大的卡车在路面上行驶，那为何不新建一条环城公路呢？ 8.C 照应下句，意为：镇和一个大的村庄没有什么两样，街道狭窄，本来就不是为通行这么多车辆而设计的。 9.B Be meant /intended for sth /to do sth.= be done or made for a particular purpose. 10.C Jean Lacey是一个生物系学生，由一词可知也是学生物的。 11.D 由上文可知他们要连续两周不停地敲钟制造尽可能大的噪音以迫使政府意识到噪音扰民这一问题。 12.A stand (vt.) = to bear; put up with; tolerate; endure容忍；忍受。 13.B 联系下文此处意为：不管怎么说大多数官员是不住在这儿的，他们进城来是为了参加会议。 14.A 这些官员既不住在这儿，进城里开会，又呆在有隔音功能的大厅内，很有可能注意不到噪音的严重性。 15.C mostly (adv.)意为“大多数”= most of the public were on their side. 16.B be afraid that = fear that 17.D come to stop them (from doin
