Halloween used to be something quite different from the celebration of sugary greed that goes on today.
Earlier in this century, Halloween was a night when boys played tricks on their neighbors. These tricks were (47)______, but more closely resembled practical jokes. For example, the boys might lift an outhouse off its foundations and move it to someone else’s yard, or they might
(48)______ a door from its hinge and leave it on the owner’s roof. Such tricks required skill and planning, and the victims were (49)______ neighbors or relatives.

The small offerings—an apple or a piece of cake which people gave in exchange for protection from practical jokes, trick-or-treaters never satisfied them. Instead they demand handfuls of commercial candy bars from people, many of them strangers, on the collecting route.

选项
答案
M
解析
空中应填原形动词,且该动词应能与from构成搭配。由leave it on the owner’s roof可知,此处是讲男孩子们把门从支撑的铰链上移走,并放到房主人的屋顶上,因此应选M. remove,N. exclude是“把…关在外面(防止进入)”之意,用在此处语义不符。
