試題分析：這篇短文講述的是在一些學校里有一個奇怪的傳統(tǒng)，就是學生們玩惡作劇。這些惡作劇不會給人們帶來傷害，只會讓人們開懷大笑。文章中給我們介紹了兩個發(fā)生在學校里的惡作劇。

1.句意：一些學校和大學里，學生們搞惡作劇有著很長的傳統(tǒng)。tradition 名詞，傳統(tǒng)。這里是說在學校里搞惡作劇有很長的歷史，這在一些學校里是一個傳統(tǒng)。

2.句意：在美國的加利福尼亞理工學院有一個特殊的日子，在這一天可以允許學生們玩大的惡作劇。be allowed to do sth. 被允許去做某事。這里學生和allow 構成被動的關系。

3.句意：在美國一所中學，一個安靜的晚上，校長要開車回家，他做到汽車里，發(fā)動汽車，很奇怪車輪轉(zhuǎn)動起來，但是車卻不走。根據(jù)文意可知，校長想開車回家，但是他發(fā)動了汽車后，汽車卻不往前走，所以這讓他感到很奇怪。strange 奇怪的。

4.句意：原來學生們想了一個辦法把汽車抬高了，汽車的輪胎在地面以上，所以汽車就走不了了。turn out 結果是，原來是。turn over 翻閱，移交。根據(jù)句意可知填turned out。

考點：選詞填空。
