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 action associated with the holiday has (52)______ into destructive behavior, such as tire-cutting and window-breaking. These kinds of actions require no skill or intelligence. 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)______.

选项
答案
I
解析
此处应填动词原形。空前criminals做的事很可能引起人们的反感,下句中的fear和 nervousness也都是对万圣节的消极情绪,所填动词应与此相对应。I. resent意为“怨恨,憎恨”,为正确选项。
