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. Usually, the boys do this to knock back what the adults had done to them which they thought wrong. Thus, Halloween became a night when young people took their "(50)______" on adults in a way that was, for the most part, permitted by the community.

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. But the most alarming and unpleasant aspect of the new Halloween is that it (53)______ evil-doing and food in the worst way. More criminal do some (54)______ things—put pins into candy bars and razors into apple-pies which caused people to (55)______ this holiday to Some extent. Halloween turns into an occasion of fear and nervousness. It seems that Halloween has been transformed into an event that brings out in us, not harmless fun, but a combination of eating too much, greed, and occasional (56)______.

C. usually K. costumed
D. destructive L. casually
E. imaginative M. remove
F. vicious N. exclude
G. terror O. degenerated
H. trick
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。
