10、s Day together with your family and friends, enjoying drinks and watching the ball drop.”可知,你可能會(huì)和家人、朋友喝飲料并觀看ball watch一起慶祝新年，而不是參與(participate in）the ball drop，故選C項(xiàng)。根據(jù)“If youre lucky, perhaps you share a kiss with that special one when the clock hits 00:00am”可知，與愛(ài)人一起度過(guò)時(shí)間也是慶祝新年的方式之一.2Which of the fol

14、內(nèi)容與原文意思吻合。3.

20、ventor of the TV was。He won the case，but the government stopped companies from making TVs during the war, so Farnsworth didnt make much money from the invention。When Farnsworth was young， he imagined television as a convenient way for distant audiences to enjoy lectures by famous professors， or ente
