解析試題分析：這篇短文講述的是在一些學(xué)校里有一個(gè)奇怪的傳統(tǒng)，就是學(xué)生們玩惡作劇。這些惡作劇不會(huì)給人們帶來(lái)傷害，只會(huì)讓人們開(kāi)懷大笑。文章中給我們介紹了兩個(gè)發(fā)生在學(xué)校里的惡作劇。
【小題1】句意：一些學(xué)校和大學(xué)里，學(xué)生們搞惡作劇有著很長(zhǎng)的傳統(tǒng)。tradition 名詞，傳統(tǒng)。這里是說(shuō)在學(xué)校里搞惡作劇有很長(zhǎng)的歷史，這在一些學(xué)校里是一個(gè)傳統(tǒng)。
【小題2】句意：在美國(guó)的加利福尼亞理工學(xué)院有一個(gè)特殊的日子，在這一天可以允許學(xué)生們玩大的惡作劇。be allowed to do sth. 被允許去做某事。這里學(xué)生和allow 構(gòu)成被動(dòng)的關(guān)系。
【小題3】句意：在美國(guó)一所中學(xué)，一個(gè)安靜的晚上，校長(zhǎng)要開(kāi)車回家，他做到汽車?yán)�，發(fā)動(dòng)汽車，很奇怪車輪轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)起來(lái)，但是車卻不走。根據(jù)文意可知，校長(zhǎng)想開(kāi)車回家，但是他發(fā)動(dòng)了汽車后，汽車卻不往前走，所以這讓他感到很奇怪。strange 奇怪的。
【小題4】句意：原來(lái)學(xué)生們想了一個(gè)辦法把汽車抬高了，汽車的輪胎在地面以上，所以汽車就走不了了。turn out 結(jié)果是，原來(lái)是。turn over 翻閱，移交。根據(jù)句意可知填turned out。
