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.

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。
