答案簡析
D。一切準備就緒，只等去化裝舞會了，所以該是激動得無法做家務。
A。補充說明激動的原因，只有用for最為到位。
B。本句是初中生不太熟悉的主語從句，play在這里是“扮演”的意思。意為“她所想扮演的是一個可怕的妖怪”。
A。根據下文的意思，有轉折關系，所以用though。
C。她想看看是否穿著舒服。
A。就在這時有敲門聲。
B。從下文可知她很有把握，“準是面包師”。
D。fail to do sth. “沒做成某事”。用not語法不對，而用had ，tried不符合意思 。
B。她不想嚇著這個人。
D。因此，她就躲藏到樓梯下的貯藏室中。
D。這時她才意識到自己的判斷錯誤。
A。只好出來解釋，不是鬼怪，是她。故用It’s me 。

C。
D。分詞充當伴隨狀語。意為隨手就把門用力關上。
